Voyage is located in resort part of town Belek, where all the inclusive hotels are situated one after another. All these five start resorts share the same beach and they almost provide same type of service with few differences. Since I heard so much about Voyage hotels in the past through my best friend, Senem, this time we decided to spend our summer vacation at Voyage Belek. And it was one of the best stays ever so far.
To make our reservation and get an idea about the hotels, there are two websites I always use, one is local travel agency's www.etstur.com and other one is of course expedia. ETS travel agency is well organised, and their annual rates are listed on their website before the season starts, ETS works very professional, it provides pick-up from the airport for a reasonable fee or like us you can opt to use taxi (taxi fares are listed outside at the airport, so there are no surprises).
Once we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by smiling faces with cold drinks and Turkish delight:) What a custom, right:). As long as you arrive around noon, rooms are always ready (it was the same case for all the hotels we stayed in so far). After a plane trip with two kids, all I want to have a quick check in and go to poolside right away!
Voyage was spacious, but not too big, where you get tired to go from one point to another. Rooms and villas were situated in the middle, away from pool and attraction areas, so noise was never an issue. We were able to stay in regular size room with our two children, room size was good enough, it was not too big or too small. Customer service was almost perfect, all the workers greeted us in the morning and our room was cleaned every day without any exception. Mini bar was full with drinks, snacks and water. There were open buffet restaurant along with a la carte restaurants serving Italian,
Asian, Turkish, Greek Tavern, Seafood, Mexican and Japanese. Like other hotels, visitors had only one dining options at each whole stay, which is fair enough. All we needed to do is to call a number to make a reservation, lines were open at 9am, if you call at 9:30am there were no seats available!! You gotta hurry!!! Good news is, buffet dining changed its menu every day, so you never get bored of eating the same food. There were also snack bar, patisserie, ha,burger stand in the afternoon, also Turkish pide (pizza) baked everyday at the beach. Have I mentioned there were also ice cream stands every corner? Heaven for kids:) On the third day, I gave up on checking my children after I caught them almost glued themselves to ice cream stands!!!! It was such a scene, seriously! Setting up rules for ice cream on vacation was not a good idea I guess!

One of the reason I chose Voyage was it offered so many activities for children. When planning a vacation, there is only one important rule! you gotta make your kids happy and keep them busy, otherwise whole vacation can become a nightmare!!! So, not only there were four different water slides, there were also open playground, kids club for different age groups, huge trampoline, jumping castle, and yes amusement park right on the beach.
Voyage was hidden behind trees, the building never got my attention, it felt like vacationing in the forest. Even cicadas were making a nice background sounds at night. It was one of the greenest and environmental friendly hotel, the grounds kept very green, clean and professional. We never felt to hot even though the temperature was showing 38 C degrees! The trees provided nice breeze at night, and wonderful shade during the day.

Throughout the day, entertainment team kept the guests happy and active. From outside it seemed like people had fun, unfortunately I could not join much of the activities, I was busy keeping my kids entertained!
Pool was big enough, hotel was full but never felt too crowded. Beach area was also well kept, divided into two different sections, '+16' where children not allowed (I dreamed about being there, nice and quite :)) and other section for people with children like us! Little info: In Turkey, all beaches are public, so anyone can use them without paying any fee, and government controls all the areas for
safety.
It was a wonderful gateway at the end:)
