The 507-room Papillon Belvil is an excellent upper-middle-range pick for families with young children. The kids’ club is one of the best in this price range, complete with a large water park with slides for all ages, activities for babies, toddlers, and teens, a big playground, a soccer field, and even its own restaurant. Rooms are a little generic (and non-renovated units are in need of an update), but all feature nice amenities such as free minibars, LED TVs, and electric kettles. In-room Wi-Fi is only available in a handful of rooms closest to the lobby. The spa offers a wide array of treatments for a fee (including some for children!), and all guests get free access to a hammam, a sauna, and a stream room. Food gets good reviews at both the buffet and the a la carte restaurants, but some guests have complained that the breakfast spread is a bit repetitive. Those seeking a quieter family-friendly hotel may want to compare rates at the Gloria Verde Resort and Spa.

The 554-room Susesi Luxury Resort is an upper-middle-range hotel that’s popular with families and business travelers alike. The hotel has several large pools -- including one with music and activities -- and a kids’ club that offers a wide array of activities for kids of all ages, including a full program for teens. Food is good, but most of the a la carte restaurants close in the winter, which makes for limited dining options. Though comfortable and well-equipped, rooms haven’t been renovated in over a decade and are a tad bland and chain-like, with run-of-the-mill decor in a neutral palette, and generic artwork on walls. Families wanting something cheaper with even more kid-friendly amenities may want to compare rates at the IC Hotels Santai.

Located in a quiet beachfront area in Belek, the upscale Gloria Verde is a relaxed, friendly resort with good food, an excellent spa, and a full entertainment program. Features such as a kids’ club, several pools -- including one with slides for children -- and a lovely sandy beach make it a good option for families. The vibe, though, is mellower than at other family-friendly resorts in the area, and its free shuttle to the hotel’s three golf courses draws many golfers in the winter. Rooms are clean, with simple, slightly bland decor in earth tones, and large balconies with serene garden views. It’s one of the few hotels in Belek that has half-board rates, but the all-inclusive package offers better value overall.

This bustling all-inclusive offers plenty of amenities for children -- including several pools, two kids’ clubs, activities for teens, carnival rides, and two water parks -- but it also has peaceful, adult-only areas for those looking to get away from it all. Food is excellent at all of the restaurants, and snacks and drinks are available 24/7. The spa offers a wide array of body treatments and services, and has a soothing atmosphere with candles, oil burners, and soft music. Rooms, although comfortable and well-equipped, are underwhelming for the price, with somewhat dated decor and simple bathrooms. This is a great pick for a fun family vacation, but those seeking something cheaper may prefer the IC Hotels Santai.
