Ela Excellence Resort is a large family all-inclusive on the Belek coast, for families who want nine pools and a kids' club with digital tracking. It spreads over 110,000 square metres behind a 270-metre private beach and pier, with eight restaurants, nine bars, an aqua park and the Everland Kids Club, which has a children's restaurant of its own. The plan runs around the clock.
Guests praise the Everland club and the family programming, the variety of the pools and the water park, and the food choice with dining available at any hour. The complaints are a resort that feels crowded in the school holidays, a la carte reservations and seasonal closures that need planning, and water sports that cost extra despite how broad the plan is. The thing worth knowing is that the pools and the club, rather than the beach, are what this resort is built around.
The plan covers the buffet meals three times a day, the 24-hour restaurant and bars, the snacks and the a la carte dining under reservation and seasonal rules, a minibar refilled daily, Wi-Fi and the kids' and teens' clubs; the spa treatments and the beach water sports are extra, the imported labels are limited to a selection, and the round-trip VIP transfer comes only with a villa or suite booking or a long stay. The 53-square-metre Grand Superior Sea View is the couples' room, the 76-square-metre Lake House Family Suite Swim Up is the family upgrade, and the villas sleep ten and twelve. Couples who want quiet should look at the adults-only resorts nearby.
