Resort Villages IC Hotels Santai Family Resort – Kids Concept
3 Kum Tepesi Mevkii, 07500 Belek, Turkey
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of family resorts in Turkey, and honestly? Most of them promise the world for kids but end up being chaotic nightmares where parents need a vacation from their vacation. IC Hotels Santai is different – and I mean genuinely different, not just “we have a kids’ club” different.
The location in Belek is actually perfect if you know the area. You’re tucked away in Kum Tepesi, which sounds fancy but really just means you’re far enough from the main Belek strip to avoid the tour bus crowds, yet close enough that you can still walk to some decent local spots if you want to escape the resort bubble for an evening. The thing that struck me first was how quiet it is – well, as quiet as any place can be with kids running around, but you know what I mean. No construction noise, no crazy traffic, just the sound of families actually enjoying themselves.
What really sets this place apart is that they’ve actually thought about what families need beyond just slapping some cartoon characters on the walls. The pools are designed so you can keep an eye on your kids while still relaxing (revolutionary concept, right?), and the food situation – honestly, this was my biggest worry – is surprisingly solid. I’m talking about real variety, not just chicken nuggets and pizza, though they have those too obviously. The staff genuinely seems to like kids, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how many places hire people who clearly view children as tiny drunk adults they need to tolerate.
The rooms are spacious enough that you’re not tripping over suitcases and toys, and there’s actually decent soundproofing between units. I stayed during what the front desk called their “busy season” in July, and while the place was definitely full, it never felt overwhelming or like you were fighting for space. The beach access is straightforward – no weird shuttle situation or long walks with cranky kids and beach gear.
Here’s the thing though – and I’m being completely honest here – it’s not going to blow your mind if you’re expecting some Instagram-perfect luxury experience. The decor is pleasant but not particularly memorable, and if you’re someone who needs everything to be cutting-edge modern, you might find it a bit… comfortable rather than stunning. But that’s actually part of what works about it. It feels like a place designed for living in, not just photographing.
The 8.7 rating makes sense to me because it delivers exactly what it promises without any nasty surprises. Your kids will be entertained, you’ll actually get some downtime, the food won’t make you sick, and you’ll leave feeling like you got your money’s worth. In the world of family travel, that’s honestly pretty close to perfect.

Chiora from Georgia
Excellent hotel, with tasty food. The staff is excellent. We’ve had a health emergency (not Covid), and the staff, especially, the Customer Service manager - Hassan and receptionists from Ukraine - Elena, Christina and Natalia, and the hotel nurse - took excellent care of us, were very attentive and professional. We definitely recommend this hotel...

Pavel from Estonia
A very good location, close enough to the airport and yet serene and isolated, with good beaches and a large green own territory of the hotel.
A very good all inclusive summer concept, well varied food at the restaurant, nice and welcoming staff.
