Cullinan Belek

Cullinan is justifiably in the top tier I believe of luxury Turkish all inclusive resorts. Room - large, modern, well appointed and excellent housekeeping. Catering - a consistently excellent international buffet - possibly more Asian fusion would be a good idea - and we visited 2 onsite restaurants which were at least 8/10. Leisure facilities - vast and high standard Support services - here I would say is possibly the hotels strongest suit - our personal concierge service - Aigerim and Zeynep - could not have been more responsive. I think the challenge for such leading institutions is whether or not they can continue to innovate and continue to redefine their offering. But what Cullinan does it does exceptionally well.

Definitely not worth the amount we paid. We expected a truly 5 star luxury experience but instead experienced room issues, sickness bug and an overall underwhelming feeling. We've been coming to Antalya for the past 10 years and not had this type of disappointment. It seems like the Cullinan name and reputation is not all it seems. I would recommend Rixos Belek.

*SICKNESS AND DIARRHOEA* I am editing my review I posted a week ago to update. We have had the council and UK HSA contact us regarding recent hospitalisation of my 2 year old. They have had a positive test for STEC E coli. Everyone else who are catching this bug at the resort need to get their stool samples tested if still suffering. It is down to hygeine and untreated swimming pools! We will be in touch with the health ministry of turkey as it's a serious issue and reading from other reviews, alot of other people have suffered from the same thing too. Based on our experience, we would not return and cannot recommend Cullinan Belek to other families.** We recently returned from an 8-night stay at Cullinan Belek in Turkey, travelling as a family of five with three children. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a special family holiday became one of the most disappointing and stressful holidays we have experienced. For six nights of our eight-night stay, we experienced ongoing problems with the electrics and lighting in our room. We repeatedly reported these issues, wasting a huge amount of our valuable holiday time chasing assistance and trying to get them resolved. Despite the problems continuing for almost the entire holiday, we were not offered another room. Nothing was properly resolved, and we were left dealing with the same issues night after night. On the fifth night, things went from bad to worse. All five of us, including our three children, became seriously unwell with symptoms consistent with stomach bug and gastrointestinal problems. Severe vomiting and diarrhoea. This completely spoiled the remaining days of our holiday. Instead of enjoying time together as a family, we were dealing with illness and discomfort. What makes this even more upsetting is that 5 days after returning home, we are still not fully recovered. Kids have had to go into emergency due to dehydration and constant vomiting **A Huge Waste of Money and Precious Family Time** Family holidays are something we look forward to, plan and save for. We chose Cullinan Belek expecting a luxury experience, excellent standards and a relaxing environment for our children. Instead, we spent six nights dealing with unresolved room problems and the latter part of our stay suffering from illness. The financial cost is one thing, but the family time we lost is something we cannot get back. For a resort positioning itself as a luxury destination, our experience fell far below what anyone should reasonably expect. **Overall** We left Cullinan Belek feeling extremely disappointed. Between the ongoing electrical issues, the lack of an alternative room, the time wasted trying to get problems resolved and all five of us becoming ill, this holiday was far from the experience we paid for. I hope the management takes these issues seriously, particularly when families with young children are involved.

We have stayed at several hotels in Belek and Lara over the years, but CULLINAN Belek genuinely exceeded our expectations. We were impressed by virtually every aspect of our stay, and the hotel truly stands out even among the excellent resorts in the region. Cleanliness and service were outstanding throughout the entire resort. Every member of staff we encountered was exceptionally polite, friendly and attentive. We were also particularly impressed by how many team members spoke at least two foreign languages, making communication effortless. This is something we have occasionally found lacking at other hotels, so it really made a difference. The food was simply superb, both in quality and variety. The abundance of seafood was remarkable, and the selection of delicious, authentic Turkish home-style dishes was equally impressive. A special mention must go to the traditional Turkish kebabs, especially the lamb, which was incredibly tender, aromatic and perfectly prepared. Having experienced kebabs at many other resorts where either the meat quality or the preparation fell short, we truly appreciated how well they were done here. The drinks selection was another pleasant surprise. The all-inclusive package included an impressive range of premium beverages, including single malt whiskies such as Macallan and Ardbeg, as well as Guinness beer. These are not offerings we have come across at many of the other hotels we have visited, and they added another level of quality to the overall experience. The hotel's beachfront location is another major advantage. The beach is excellent, with plenty of sun loungers available for guests, so there is no feeling of overcrowding. The proximity to the golf course adds a unique touch to the scenery, while the beautifully spacious grounds are perfect for long walks or even a morning run. A very special thank you to our personal assistants, Nadya and Maria, who made our stay even more memorable. Their exceptional care, warm attitude and attention to detail made us feel truly special throughout our holiday. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, and we are genuinely grateful for everything they did for us. They are a real credit to CULLINAN Belek! What we appreciated most was the consistency of quality across every aspect of the resort. From the cleanliness and service to the exceptional food, premium drinks and outstanding personal attention, everything felt thoughtfully taken care of. CULLINAN Belek has set a new benchmark for us. Having stayed at numerous resorts in Belek and Lara, we can confidently say that this hotel ranks among the very best we have experienced. We would happily return and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly outstanding holiday.

That was amazing! I lost a little money on the beach two days ago. Without expecting anything, I asked at reception if anyone had found it. They said, “Yes, we found it!!!” What an incredible feeling! A huge thank you to the Cullinan staff!!!!
