Crystal Family Resort & Spa hotel in Belek, Turkey

The feeling of comfort is one of the most important factors in choosing a place to stay. In this matter, you should rely on your personal preferences and the tastes of those with whom you will spend this vacation.

In travel agencies, employees offer a variety of options, based on the taste and budget of the customer. Basically, the choice falls on either Egypt or Turkey. Since it is considered economical and at the same time interesting and good vacation. Let’s stay specifically in Turkey, hotels happily welcome all vacationers, offering excellent conditions at low prices. Each hotel has a certain characteristic, in relation to rooms, food, fun programs, etc. There are certain points of superiority that elevate the hotel in the top above – this is the territory, the beach and the location.

How to choose the right hotel and not be disappointed?

1. How many stars.

Everyone who is going on vacation and decided to stay in a hotel almost the first thing interested in how many stars there are. This is partly correct, but it is not always the case that a 5-star hotel is better than a 4-star hotel. First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly study all the hotels of the resort. Browse the entire Internet, read and compare reviews, ask friends and acquaintances, and then draw certain conclusions.

2. Beach.

Everyone wants clean, soft sand so that there is no large crowd of people, etc. However, if clean sand can still be found, then with people there is a difficulty, because if this is the season, then there will be a lot of people in any case. There is only one option – to fly to rest after the season closes.

3. Food.

Almost everyone chooses an all-inclusive hotel. And this issue should be approached with all care, since you will have to eat this food 3 times a day and all the time of rest. At all sorts of restaurants and cafes especially do not roam.

And the most important advice: you should never rely on the professional opinion of travel agencies. Their task is to sell a ticket as soon as possible and get a salary. Also, there are still stale vouchers that need to be urgently sold. Then the travel agent turns on all his ability to convince and beats this ticket as something unusual and rare.

Some like sand, others prefer pebbles, in this case, opinions will again diverge. Therefore, it is important to understand what kind of rest you want, explosive or calm. Take into account all the nuances, weigh the pros and cons and make a choice.
