This was our first all-inclusive golf holiday and we all rated it 9/10...
November 2014
The Sueno Resort is what some would say “a little
tired”. That is understandable as down at the beach Sueno are building a
1200 person new luxury hotel which looks amazing! Having said that, the
hotel was still very clean, tidy and presented well. The rooms where very
spacious (we were upgraded to a Senior room at no extra cost!) and if you get
the option request (before you go!) a golf course view.
Where the Sueno lost maybe 1 point out of 10 was the
food. There was plenty of it and of good quality but it was the variety
that was lacking. In the end we picked pretty much the same type of food each
day and it was more than pleasant. If you are expecting a large variety of
tastes and/or restaurants then maybe Sueno isn’t for you…
They do offer an “A La Carte” option each evening which
varies the theme each evening – book as soon as you get there as some of the
evenings get sold out quickly.
The drinks provided as part of the all-inclusive deal where
very good – even the local Turkish wines were very nice. All spirits
where branded spirits so no complaints there and the local beer is more than OK
(not a big beer drinker anyway)…
The transfer time of about 30 minutes was really convenient
and we had no hassle on the 14-seater transfer bus. The hotel itself is a 4-5
minute walk from the beach but they run a shuttle service if you are that way
inclined – the walk is fine and nice to stretch your legs after a game of golf.
One thing the Sueno does have that we all *REALLY* enjoyed
was the beach pier. It’s larger than every other hotel’s, very spacious
and the staff are very helpful. They don’t supply lunch/food on the pier but
that is available in the beach bar/café – maybe a thought for them to consider.
The location of the hotel in relation to the golf courses is
perfect and sitting watching golfers come down the 9th/18th is very
enjoyable.
Overall verdict – this was our first all-inclusive golf
holiday and we all rated it 9/10 – the food being the only *slight* downside.
We will definitely return to Turkey and even to the current
Sueno as the Pines course is very good and we would like to play the Dunes as
well.

I rate both of the golf courses at Sueno very highly...
November 2014
I rate both of the golf courses at Sueno very highly and really
enjoyed playing them. We played Pine 7 times and Dunes 6 times in the 7 days we
spent in Turkey and both courses were in fine condition. One or two of the tees
were a bit worn but it was late May.
The location is great as the hotel is right on the course. The
accommodation was good; clean and had everything you could want. The décor was getting
a bit dated but that was a minor point. The food was great with plenty of
choice of fresh & tasty dishes.
We didn’t use the 19th hole as we were usually rushing
for lunch or had a drink in the hotel but it was well used by visiting golfers
who seemed to be enjoying it.
The members of staff were friendly and helpful.
We are actually in the process of booking for this year
again. I’d give it 4.5 out of 5.

Both courses in very good condition...
November 2014
As far as the golf courses are concerned, they were both in
very good condition and were enjoyed by the group. Having the courses so close
at hand, together with the practice facilities is great. Whilst we would be
happy to play the courses again, particularly the Pines, I would not stay at
the hotel.
I would rate the hotel as 2/3 and the courses at 4.
I understand that there is a new hotel being built. It would
be interesting to know what they charge.

The best golf holidays I have ever have had the pleasure of being a part of...
November 2014
I have stayed at the Sueno Golf Hotel on two occasions with
a party of 24 and I would say that they were two of the best golf holidays I
have ever have had the pleasure of being a part of.
The all round experience was excellent. From the rooms we
stayed in, to the staff, both golf courses (which I would rate among the best I
have ever played) and the food, I would give this package deal a rating of 5
anytime.
Anyone who takes the opportunity of trying this holiday will
not be disappointed.

We would definitely return to this venue...
November 2014
The 2 golf courses at Sueno were testing and in good
condition. With the courses and hotel all on resort, it’s very convenient too due
to not having to travel.
The hotel and staff provided a good and friendly service at
all times. The room was good but air conditioning unit failed to work;
thankfully it did not spoil our holiday.
The overall verdict would be 4 out of 5 and we would definitely return to
this venue.

The unlimited golf and price made this a very attractive trip...
November 2014
This is my second visit to Belek and had a great time once
again. The Sueno Resort is located directly on their 2 courses, the Dunes
(short and interesting) and Pines (more of a challenging course for all
levels). The Pines Course is definitely the better of the two and we played most
of our rounds on this course. The Dunes was actually closed for seeding during
the second half of the week, and therefore the Pines became very busy. We had
pre-booked morning tee times and this was really helpful as the course was
basically booked until 3pm. (Late bookers might have a issue in peak
periods)
The beach area is nice, but the restaurant down there isn't the best, so I
would lunch at the main one, unless the grill is open. The pier is a great
place to relax and get a drink, while there are loads of loungers
available.
The food was good, if not great, and there’s a wide selection for the picky.
The outside grill was always much better, and the breakfast outside (show
Grill) was better than the main buffet. From 4-7pm no food was available, which
is a bit annoying if you have an 11am tee time, as when you finish nothing will
be open...something they should look at perhaps?
Rooms are big and are fine. The air con only works with a key in the slot, but
this is pretty normal.
Overall the whole group had a great time and enjoyed all the facilities
available and would definitely go back. Compared to my previous visit to the
Cornelia deluxe, the hotel was not as good in terms of food quality, level of
drinks (premium) and general service, but the unlimited golf and price made
this a very attractive trip.
The weather was 30-33 degrees everyday in mid September so very nice all in
all.

The hotel was as good as ever...
November 2014
Just returned from our third visit to Sueno; this
time with friends.
We were as impressed as ever and our friends had a superb
holiday too. The golf course was in excellent condition and the hotel was as
good as ever. There was an excellent selection of food and even the fussiest of
people would find it hard not to find something they liked.
The rooms were excellent, overlooking the golf course
providing magnificent views with the distant mountains providing the perfect
backdrop.
It was really nice that staff remembered us from previous
years and showed they were very pleased to see us and sad when we left. As we
went all inclusive the price of the drinks was irrelevant but a very good
selection was available and the waiting staff were polite and friendly.
I have recommended both yourgolftravel.com and the Sueno
Resort to several people at our golf club and will continue to do so.

We'll be back!
August 2014
Really enjoyed our holiday here, it was great to be able to stroll straight out of the hotel and onto the golf courses. We preferred the Pines Course but the Dunes was also enjoyable as it was a bit shorter and easier for us. The clubhouse is a great place to watch players come in with views over all 4 greens (9th / 18th of both Dunes and the Pines). We felt the unlimited golf packages were good value and look forward to returning here next year.

Excellent place to stay and play
What a great time we had, ground transportation arrangements were are excellent, great private transfers both ways with high quality transport.
All the staff at the Sueno were very helpful and polite and the golf staff were fantastic in allocating or amending tee times. Both courses were in super condition and I look forward to deciding on our next trip.
Stewart
Look forward to going back to Sueno
We certainly did enjoy our holiday, we played 14 games of golf in 14 days, 7 times on Dunes, 6 times on Pines and once on Montgomerie Maxx Royal.
The Sueno courses were great fun and a good challenge. They were in very good condition, well maintained, greens were good, holding the ball well and very tricky with some crazy pin positions. We had no problem booking extra rounds above the 4 pre – booked. Second rounds were only bookable when we came off the first but again this worked out fine. I don’t know if this may be different at other parts of the season but for us it worked perfectly.
The hotel was fine but I would say suffering a bit from age, I just think maybe it might benefit from a face lift. Not really an issue for us as we were there to golf and rooms had everything we needed, were spacious and clean. Food was fine for me with great selection of fresh salads and usually grilled meat or chicken. Breakfast was great with everything you could want (Turkish Delight for breakfast was a step too far for me though) Drinks were great with good cold beer, perfectly drinkable wine and really anything else you could want (and available 24 hours!) All staff that I met were courteous and friendly.
The location was superb with our rooms overlooking the Dunes 18th island green. They said we had been given an upgrade. We were about a minute from the pro shop and another couple from the two first tees. It could not have been better.
Yes, we would go back and yes we would use Your Golf Travel again. We really had no complaints.

Great clubhouse setting for watching golf
We really enjoyed our golf holiday to Sueno, the hotel might not be as grand as some of the newer monoliths in the vicinity but for golfers it is superb. The practice facilities on your doorstep are excellent. The food and drinks are very good with alternative dining options for a small cost.
The staff were very friendly, you can walk out of the hotel straight onto the golf course, no courtesy buses or shuttles required here. Both courses are in great condition and visually superb. If the Pines could be lengthened it could be considered as a Pro competition venue. We had a mix of handicaps from low single figures to high ladies all of whom enjoyed both courses.
The beach is a 10 minute stroll (or free buggy ride) past the driving range and has a bar and food available. The pool area is a little on the small side but most golfers went straight to the outdoor bars and with beer in hand watched players finishing onto the island and peninsular greens that conclude the two courses.

Look forward to returning back to Sueno
We had a great golf break at Sueno Golf Resort. The hotel was lovely with a view over golf courses. We played 9 games of golf on 2 lovely courses and will certainly be going back. We recommend the hotel to all holders. Many thanks to Your Golf Travel for their help everything, it went without a hitch.

Great unlimited golf packages
Thank you for our perfect golf trip to Sueno. All 4 had the same opinion that if it's a question of playing golf, it was best arrangement ever. Everything promised was provided, unlimited golf, buggies, transport and so on, and the course was in very good condition while not overcrowded with too many players. We played between 9-15 rounds, many thanks, we have recommended you to our Finnish friends. Best regards,
