CORNELIA DELUXE RESORT, TURKEY If selling Turkey is proving something of
a struggle, highlight its unique – and good-value – properties such as the five-star, 358-room Cornelia Deluxe Resort in Belek, where you can clamber down from a Villa Junior Suite into the hotel’s main pool in the space of a minute. The modern, studio- style apartments (suitable for a family of four, or three adults) have a living area, bedroom and
Jacuzzi-equipped bathroom, while the pool itself offers up a handy restaurant and bar. Elsewhere in the resort you’ll find five pools, seven restaurants and an impressive roster of activities, and it’s all set among natural surroundings, including a stretch of picturesque, sandy beach. Book it: Thomas Cook offers a week’s all-inclusive at the resort from £885, based on two adults sharing a Junior Suite with pool access, flying from Birmingham on September 27.
