I’ve been going to Gloria hotels twice a year for 18 years. I went to the Serenity the year it opened and was one of the first to visit after the recent upgrade ( new restaurants and bars) and refurbishment. I not going to make a stupid statement like the Serenity is the best hotel in Turkey etc. What I will say though is that I’m pushing 70 now and I haven’t been to a better all inclusive hotel In Belek . Or the world come to that!. Other hotels I have been to in Belek are: Maxx Royal, Voyage, Calista, Sueno Golf, Sueno Deluxe, Gloria Golf & Gloria Verde, Regnum Carya. In winter I have been to Sandals Jamaica, El Dorado gourmet Mexico as well as 5 star all inclusive in Dubai, Egypt, Cape Verde, Thailand, Canary Islands. If I was offered a free week in any of my previously visited hotels, Gloria Serenity would always be my choice. The only other one that would come close other than the other 2 Gloria hotels is Regnum Carya. The only reason for that is the Adults only pool and the amazing sunbeds. If you could pick them up and place them In Serenity grounds there would be no competition at all. The service at Serenity is amazing you can’t stand still without someone appearing and asking if you need anything. The food is out of this world, and why they do not promote themselves as a gourmet hotel I do not know. This is all made possible by Deniz the food and beverage manager who runs around all day making sure standards are maintained and everyone is doing their job properly. All the chefs are magnificent and should be commended. I can never work out who the top chefs are but make a point of thanking the ones that look like they are supervising and are wearing the elaborate chefs uniforms. Special mention to the pier bar staff who were magnificent. If you are considering this hotel just go. If you find it too expensive then I recommend Gloria Golf (in the same grounds) or Gloria Verde. Same quality of service and catering without the fancy bits. I am returning again in October and am very much looking forward to it. Well done Gloria please maintain your high standards.
