Side Bella Luna

Reviewed today Travelled to Seaden as a family of 12 for 10 days in August 24. This is my 3rd time to Turkey staying in an all inclusive and overall this hotel did not disappoint. Upon arrival we were shown to our room, (yes the guy did hang around for a tip but he was the only person the whole time who did this) Rooms were very clean and spacious but as others have started, the walls are thin and you can hear everything in the rooms next to you. Even the sound the safe buttons make when pressed! The other criticism I have of the rooms are that the “child bed” is a chaise lounge with the pillows taken off and not a proper bed. My 15yr old is 6ft 4 and found this uncomfortable as did a 12 yr old in one of the other rooms. The family room however has a separate bedroom with proper beds. The air con in the room works well once it gets going and is the quietest air con I’ve ever experienced. It is however set to turn off during the day so we found it best to keep the curtains closed to stop the room heating up too much. Good mini bar which is restocked daily. The hotel is small and the only thing that made this obvious is that the sun beds are packed close together and you have to be up early to secure one, although before 8:30am towels are removed if no one is with them. Without a doubt the biggest criticism of this hotel is that they allow smoking all around the pool and when the beds are so close together it’s horrible. Every day we were surrounded by people smoking and vaping with no consideration that we had young children in the group and were not smokers. I even spoke to a guest relations (through google translate!) to make the suggestion that designated smoking areas be implemented. The other 5 * hotels I have stayed at in Turkey had this and it worked well. I understand people will roll their eyes at this but some of our group have lung conditions and why should our choice not to smoke be less considered?! Back to the good points, the entertainment team work hard to involve everyone but don’t make you feel pressured. Furkan, the pool roller skater waiter works so hard taking drinks orders. He was brilliant and 100% deserves every tip he earns. The hotel grounds are clean. The beach is small and again packed with sun beds but also kept clean and waiters serve you there. The sea is lovely and warm, but not clear and very rocky under foot. Some of our group went paragliding with the company on the beach, they also take GoPro footage and drone footage which you can buy. They are not cheap and for 4 people paragliding and footage your looking around £300. We did not have any issue communicating with any staff members, yes they assumed we were German at first, but they all tried their best and spoke English well enough. Only once used google translate. One staff member told us this year there are more British than ever before and we certainly heard many families speaking English. The food at this hotel has been the best I’ve experienced in Turkey

The best experience so far in turkey. The hotel is extra clean, the food is extremely good even the desserts (in most of the places the good looking desserts tastes like paper) but in this hotel everything was 5 star delicious. The staff was super friendly and polite and they did everything to serve their guest whatever they wished for. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more! And despite the fact that we are not german (lot of german guests there) they knew english quite well, or at least struggled to express themself in english so we could understand each other. Very good hotel! We surely will go back next year.

The best hotel ever. The service is top. We were there for 10 days and the service was on top every single day. The animation team is also very kind and Good at their job. Especially Baha, He was always trying to cheer People up and made sure that every show and activities were fun.
