### Review of Calista Luxury Resort, Belek (8-15 July Stay) My family, including my wife and our two children aged 5 and 9, recently stayed at Calista Luxury Resort in Belek from July 8th to 15th. Overall, our experience was positive, though there were a few areas where the resort could improve to better meet the expectations set by its luxury branding. **Dining Experience** The food at Calista Luxury Resort was consistently of high quality, and we had the opportunity to dine at several of the resort’s restaurants. The main restaurant offered a wide selection of dishes that catered to various tastes, ensuring that both adults and children were satisfied. Sakura, the sushi restaurant, provided fresh and flavorful Japanese cuisine that we thoroughly enjoyed. The Garden impressed us with its perfectly cooked lamb, offering a rich and satisfying meal. Finally, Turka delivered a standout salmon dish that showcased the best of Turkish culinary traditions. Across all venues, the food was well-prepared and flavorful, and the beverages, including wines and cocktails, were of top quality, enhancing our dining experiences throughout our stay. **Room and Amenities** Our room at Calista was spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with advanced technology. The phone app that allowed us to control the room's temperature and lighting was a particularly convenient feature that added a touch of modern luxury to our stay. However, we were slightly disappointed by the toiletries provided. In other luxury hotels in Belek, we have received designer toiletries, which we did not find at Calista. While this was a minor detail, it did not quite align with the high-end experience we anticipated. **Wellness & Spa** During our stay, my wife and I took advantage of the spa services and had massages. The spa environment was peaceful and conducive to relaxation, though the massages themselves were simply adequate—pleasant but not exceptional. While the experience was enjoyable, it did not stand out compared to other luxury spa treatments we’ve experienced in the past. **Entertainment** The evening entertainment at Calista was mostly geared towards adults, with lively disco shows at the beach club. While these were enjoyable for my wife and me, the entertainment options for our children were limited. During our stay, there were only a few magic shows, which our kids enjoyed, but the overall lack of family-oriented entertainment was noticeable. Expanding the range of evening activities to include more options for children would enhance the experience for families. **Water Park** One area where Calista fell short of our expectations was the water park. With only 4-5 slides, it was rather underwhelming, especially considering the impressive aqua parks we’ve encountered at other, lower-rated hotels in Belek. The water park could benefit from additional features and slides to make it more exciting and enjoyable, particularly for younger guests. **Guest Relations**
