Pros - Very Clean. Beach and Pier is beautiful. Drinks generally come quickly. Thank you Gul. Beds are very comfortable. Food is okay lots of choice but the same every day.
I Like the 24/7 restaurant. There was also branded drinks.
The ladies who clean the toilets at Dome worked hard and friendly and the older guys who sweep up the floors.
Christina and Katrina we enjoyed our chats with you thank you.
Cons - Where do I start. When we arrived to check in the guy who checked us in was rude and dismissive. We asked how much an upgrade was. He said it was very expensive and I asked how much and he said ooh at least double then walked away. We were not impressed with first impression. How did he not know I was prepared to pay. It was totally out of order.
Two hours later we were told to be quiet in a bar ! In a bar! Three times. If you feel like other people might not like the noise then sound proof the bar. You treated us like children and I got the feeling you didn’t want guests in there who were not special guests !!! This was the first night and was already unhappy about the receptionist when checking in. I like to hear people laughing on holiday it means they are having a good time doesn’t it ! Other guests were not happy about this too. They did not like being shushed on a holiday and I have been in lots of hotels on that strip where there has been other guests and I have never been told to be quiet because of other guests. The hotel said it was ‘fun’ hotel. Where was the fun?
So the next day we thought you undertook water polo and activities. Where were these other than darts ? None. You could have used the heated pool for water polo but there was no activity at all and it was quiet there was no staff around at all. If you advertise you do activity then why do you not do it ? At the pier you could have had some good chill out music but there was none. It was nice on the pier but nothing going on to entertain other hotels have entertainment staff that liaise with guests to do activities and the staff at the bar were frankly miserable and just talked to the other staff and did not want to catch your eye for fear of been asked anything.
I tried to speak Turkish to the staff and English and none understood and didn’t get Google translate out they just walked away. The staff do not smile at all and when I smiled at them they looked the other way and were rude. I don’t think a lot of the staff were Turkish like in the other hotels I have stayed at so bring some Turkish staff in they are pleasant and want to help. The only member of staff who I feel was helpful and cheerful was Gul and another guy in the bar I didn’t get his name. The place is purely at times boring and such a strange atmosphere and not a good one. The pianist that came on a couple of times did not smile. She seemed like she was only there to get paid like most of the staff. The hotel and rooms are very dark. You need some more lighting in the rooms. On my last day I asked for some hot water with a piece of lemon and mint in it. She dismissed me and said we don’t do that. I then went and got a hot cup of water from the bar and got a piece of lemon and mint from the buffet. She just could not be bothered.
In the biscotti cake bar my sister had a glass of beer and they came and poured it into a paper cup. I mean how stupid you can have beer in that bar but it has to be in a paper cup whilst other people were sat with glasses. We asked a member of staff why she did this and google translated it and she said she would find out. She didn’t even have the audacity to come back and tell us why even though we had asked and translated it for her. At one staff the lady who had the tall white hat got her mouth and tried to make her smile.
I would not come back here it was not pleasurable and we were never rude and I smiled at everyone I walked by and gave tips but they still did not smile. We tried to be friendly all the time to have a good time but they just didn’t reciprocate the friendliness.
In the spa it smells of drains but it is amazing and could smell nice of essential oils like all other spas do.
Most of the people we spoke to said they would not go back.
You need to lighten up or you will lose all your guests. We will not be visiting again.
Never again!!!!
Honest review… Dark, Dull, Boring hotel. I’ve been to lots of hotels in Belek and this is the worst, Staff are so miserable Not allowed to have fun. Can’t even play cards or any game in the lobby, you have to play in a dark room upstairs where you can’t see and no bar to get a drink. Next to the lobby is a bar where we kept getting told off for laughing and talking. Nothing going on in the day to keep you entertained. Lots of guys who played golf who we met has said the same things. I don’t know where the good reviews have come from maybe….. AI. Oh… and on checking in we asked how much an upgrade would be and the guy on reception just said very very expensive, rolled his eyes and walked away… how rude!!!! We usually tip lots, but not many of the staff were worthy of tipping. And…. I certainly will NOT be taking this post down if asked to do so as people need to know when spending this amount of hard earned money to go. I couldn’t wait to come here as I live in a caravan at the moment, but I couldn’t wait to leave and go back to my caravan. We will definitely never, ever return. ☹️☹️☹️
What a wonderful place to spend our 30th wedding anniversary…

We have already booked to come back next June with our family & look forward to it greatly….all the little things the hotel did for us as we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary was just amazing we had a bunch of flowers delivered to our room there was flowers in our room one day after we came back from the beach , a beautiful bedspread & pillow with hearts on it with a card & some roses & on our actual anniversary evening we were given the meal on the hotel & a beautiful cake was given to us too along side a lovely card . Such lovely touches….
Review by Julie M Carlton Colville, United Kingdom
Pleasant stay
We recently stayed at Cornelia Diamond during the autumn holiday. The resort offers spacious rooms, excellent food, beautiful grounds and a high level of comfort. While there are a few areas that could be improved, we would certainly recommend this hotel. Compared to similar hotels in the same price range like for example Titanic Golf Deluxe, Kaya Palazzo, Delphin Imperial and Mardan Palace there are pros and cont’s but overall the experience was ok.
One aspect that deserves special praise is the cleanliness. Both the hotel and the gardens are exceptionally well maintained. Throughout the day, staff can be seen cleaning, gardening and maintaining the resort. Their hard work is clearly visible and contributes greatly to the atmosphere.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable and - although a bit outdated - well looked after. The evening turndown service, including fresh towels and a box of chocolates, is a nice luxury touch. The rainfall shower is excellent, although the handheld shower is mounted very low. An additional mounting point at a higher level would make it more practical.
The synthetic duvets retain quite a lot of heat and can feel uncomfortable during the night. Consider change in down duvet
The food is one of the hotel's strongest points. The buffet in the main restaurant offers decent quality, a wide variety of dishes and consistently good presentation. We were happy with both the selection and the freshness of the food.
During our stay the resort was fully booked during the weekends, yet there were always plenty of sunbeds available both at the pools and on the beach. Likewise, the bars and restaurants never felt overcrowded. . The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. There were many golf groups aged 55+ and not many families with small children, which contributed to a calm environment throughout the resort.
There are, however, some areas where improvements could be made. Service in the Main Restaurant and Dome Restaurant is generally friendly but lacks proactivity. The English language skills of some employees could also be better. For example, we accidentally left our room key on a table in the Main Restaurant. When we returned ten minutes later, none of the staff appeared to remember having seen it, and we eventually had to obtain a replacement key from reception.
The fitness centre is functional but feels dated compared to the rest of the resort. It could benefit from modernization and some background music to improve the atmosphere.
The game hall is unfortunately a weak part of the resort. It feels outdated, lacks atmosphere and several machines were out of order during our stay. Most arcade games cost around €2 per play, while bowling is basically charged at €0.25 per throw (EUR 5 per person per game), which feels expensive considering the condition of the facilities.
Pool is free, but the table is quite small and several cues are bent. The staff member supervising the game hall could also benefit from additional customer-service training.
Few small improvements would be introduction of water ice creams/popsicles and replacement of disposable carton products with more sustainable alternatives where possible.

Stay: 10–14 October 2026 · Flights: SunExpress (outbound) / Wizz Air (return)
I spent four nights at Cornelia Diamond and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The room. I had booked a Garden View room and was given a free upgrade to a room with a partial sea view. The room was beautiful: distinctive design, quality finishes, and spotless cleanliness throughout my stay.
The food. The cuisine is exceptional, with food of a high gastronomic standard that is also genuinely delicious, across the main restaurant, the bars and the à la carte restaurants. A real highlight of the hotel.
Organisation. Everything runs flawlessly: reception, bars, restaurants, pool and beach. Reception deserves a 10. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the Guest Relations team showed a rare level of openness and availability.
Transfers. Guest Relations arranged a transfer for a shopping day at Mall of Antalya, which I highly recommend for very good quality clothing and 22K gold jewellery from major Turkish houses. The transfer service was exceptional. The driver took me there at 10 am and waited for me until 4 pm. When my private airport transfer company announced a delay, I cancelled it, and the hotel arranged an airport transfer at the last minute, promptly and smoothly.
Medical services. I caught a cold after swimming in the sea, and the hotel’s medical service was very responsive and professional. My medication was delivered from the pharmacy in Belek quickly and promptly.
In short. Everything was superb. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend it and will certainly return.
