Superior rooms at Gloria Serenity come fully equipped for comfort and convenience, with direct-dial telephone, LCD satellite TV, central air conditioning, minibar, wireless internet and private balconies or terraces that look out over the gardens, golf courses or Mediterranean. Room service is available at an additional charge, and the layout and amenities are designed to suit golfers who need space to relax after a long day on the course.
The resort's layout means you're never far from the golf, the beach or the main facilities, with everything connected by pathways through the gardens. The private beach offers a change of pace between rounds, and the resort's positioning between two courses means you can walk to the first tee without needing transfers or early starts.
The Serenity SPA and Wellness centre is a serious facility, not an afterthought. Fifteen treatment rooms offer everything from sports massages to couples treatments, with an indoor pool, hammam, Turkish bath, Finnish sauna and Rasul available for recovery between rounds. The fitness suite is well-equipped if you want to maintain your routine, and the spa's Far Eastern influence shows in the treatment menu and the overall design. I'll be honest, after 36 holes in Belek heat, that hammam starts to look very tempting. It's a strong option for mixed groups where some want to play every day and others prefer a slower pace with spa time and beach access.
Dining centres on Tetrasomia, the main buffet restaurant, which covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a wide selection that caters to most tastes. For something more focused, the five à la carte restaurants give you options throughout the week. Le Jardin au Printemps delivers French cuisine in a more formal setting, while Route 66 Steak House is the natural post-golf choice, with cuts and sides that suit hungry golfers. La Trattoria Romana offers Italian classics, and the Aegean and Asian à la carte venues add Mediterranean and Far Eastern flavours to the mix. Three of the à la carte restaurants open for dinner year-round, with Route 66 and La Trattoria Romana also serving lunch during the summer season.
