| Superior Room | Sleeps 3 | 1 bedroom | Not published |
| Superior Sea View Room | Sleeps 3 | 1 bedroom | Sea view |
| Corner Suite | Sleeps 4 | 1 bedroom | Not published |

Before you book
Nine things the research turned up about Calista Luxury Resort that the brochure does not say.
Calista is a true Ultra All Inclusive Belek resort with a large family and luxury amenity footprint.
The core plan is broad, but à la carte dining, selected premium drinks, pier loungers and watersports can cost extra.
Families get unusually strong official age coverage, with kids club from 1 to 12 and teen programming from 13 to 17.
The winter-heated pool and spa wet facilities add off-season value.
Hidden tips
Confirm which à la carte restaurants are included for your exact room or VIP concept.
Families with teens should ask for the current Cally Kids Club and teen schedule.
Budget separately for watersports and paid pier loungers.
Things guests wish they had known
Ultra All Inclusive does not mean every premium restaurant, drink, pier service or watersport is included.
The resort is better for self-contained resort stays than town-focused trips.

Most complained about
