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

We went to ‘Seadan Quality Resort&Spa’ for 7 days, upon arrival we were instantly greeted so warmly with snacks and champagne. We walked 2 metres into the hotel before a member of staff took our luggage to our room leaving us with only our hand luggage to walk with. We were then given information regarding the facilities and times. My other half has Celiac Decease and we mentioned this upon arrival before we entered the managers office and was given a card stating her allergy for restaurant usage. There were so much to choose from in each restaurant leaving us full on a daily basis, the dessert section is unreal and I hope I can post my pictures/videos later in this review process! Every single day we have been greeted with a warm “ Good Morning.” Around the hotel and resort, we had a sheet showing us times of places where we can eat, info regarding the Spa which was UNREAL from start to finish and after the massage treatment. Sercena, Tolba, Baha and many more were so kind and well mannered, not pushy and they were at poolside daily starting at around 9am, made people aware of activities which 70-80% were involved. Darts, vollyball, aqua Aerobics in the huge pool, Bocha at the beach the list is endless. Every night there was entertainment that fulfilled everyone’s interest on the night and the staff made the effort to try get people to dance. I said “No.” once and he simply smiled and said “ okay no worries at all, next time hopefully.” Many even went into the town with the reps to party, the rooms were immaculate and cleaned daily, when I say immaculate even I felt bad accidentally dropping ash on the balcony and had to clean it up before the cleaning staff did. Our room faced the beautiful pool/sea. Myself and my other half also watched the sun go down from the 4th floor daily as the view was unreal. The food was clearly carefully prepped and the food was that good in the buffet we didn’t even use the Alacart restaurant booking as we didn’t need to as for 7 days straight the food was different daily and freshly made. My other half had food cooked freshly with her having Celiac Decease and brought to her at our table. I honestly couldn’t fault anything on the questionnaire after our stay! THANKYOU!!! We will see you next year. Luke&Leanne Room-4138

I travelled to Seaden Quality as a family of 12 with 8 adults, 2 teens and 2 under 10’s. We booked our holiday through Jet2. The transfer by coach from Antalya airport took around 70 minutes with our hotel being the 4th drop although all drops were very close to each other. We were greeted at the door by staff who helped with our luggage and offered us a cold drink. We were the only family checking into the hotel at that time and arrived there around 15.30. I was pleased to find they do not charge for the room safe and do not ask for a deposit for the towels. One of our 4 rooms weren’t quite ready so we headed to the lobby bar to enjoy our first drink while we waited. The cocktails on offer were delicious. After around 30 minutes we were given our keys and shown to our rooms. We had a family room on the 2nd floor and 3 standard rooms on the 3rd floor. I had emailed the hotel prior to our arrival to request rooms close to each other and was very pleased to find they had managed to get three this way. The Aircon in the rooms worked well and they were all a very good size. The mini fridge was stocked with cans of Coke/fanta/ice tea/beer/water and juice and was re-stocked daily along with a few snacks. The showers worked really well although water did leak from under the door onto the floor so the towel needed ringing out after. I stayed in the family room that overlooked the pool which was lovely. As I had read beforehand, the walls are very thin and your neighbours can be heard. The pool area was very clean and staff were always sweeping and cleaning throughout the day, especially in the toilets. Before 8:30am, any towels left out on sun beds were removed by the hotel and placed to the side for the owners to collect. Due to having a large group, we never left our sunbeds unoccupied through the day. Most beds would be taken by 8:30-9am. Our main criticism of the pool area is smoking. Many days we would have people smoking all around us and even though we are were out in the open, the smell was horrendous. The hotel really should look into designated smoking areas but I also think people should be more considerate of others who do not smoke and those with children! Before arriving at the hotel I had read reviews that there were not many English residents staying however we heard lots of English families and never struggled to communicate with staff, they were all really helpful and worked very hard to provide a great service. A big shout out to Furkan who skates around the pool taking orders and delivering drinks, he was brilliant. We were all really impressed with the food on offer. We ate in the main buffet restaurant for dinner and loved the wide selection of food. I can’t comment on the A La Cate restaurant for dinner as we didn’t use these however we did used them for lunch on some of the days and loved the food. The main Snack bar by the entertainment stage is exceptional. We also made good use of the 24hr patisserie with cakes and

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.

Along transfer but we walked into a Palace! Reception were very friendly until we turned down their request of a 'better room ' we wanted to keep our booked 2 rooms, attitude changed and he was more than rude. Rooms were perfect, overlooking the pool/ beach. There are cockerels and turkeys roaming around which was strange but really nice. The pool areas were great, plenty of sunbeds. Noone reserved them at all. Lunch ( my fave meal) great choice. Loads of bars and seating. The restaurant was huge, loads of choice, BBQ area . Entertainment, as in most Turkish hotels was spot on! Something totally different every night. Once a week afternoon pool/ foam party. We had a great time. Downside..... English are overlooked BIG TIME. It is NOT an English speaking hotel. You can be getting a drink from the same person 6/7 times a day and not even get a smile while they talk over your head to the German behind . We thought it was funny, some may not. BUT!!!! There are lots of English guests so put your happy head on and you'll have a great time. You will also meet the angriest bar man in the world in the late night bar. He's hysterical

What an amazing hotel and holiday. We travelled as a group of 4 friends and couldn't have wished for anything more. The staff were amazing, friendly and fun. Our rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable. The restaurant food was excellent and varied. We found the gym staff inspiring, kind and motivational. We are going to book for next year.

Wow. What a fantastic Hotel. The best we have ever visited. Staff were all exceptional and the lads around the pool on their skates kept everyone topped up with drinks throughout the day. I have never experienced such a huge selection and variety of food everyday in the resteraunt. An absolutely beautiful hotel right on the beach. Hopefully we will be back in the very near future.

We travelled to Seaden Quality Resort for 1 week in August, 2024. It was myself and my partner and we booked a sea view room - all inclusive. This hotel is beautiful to look at, modern and very aesthetically pleasing. There are absolutely positives about this hotel however we wish someone had made us aware of a few things beforehand as we would have changed our booking. There is a MASSIVE language barrier. Yes, we were aware we were not in Britain, however we were dismissed at times due to not being understood. We asked the hotel relations staff to assist us with excursions to which she pulled a face and again, was dismissive. We on arrival were handed a phone with google translate as no one understood even basic communication with us. Staff were happy to chat and have fun with anyone who was able to speak German but as soon as we asked if they could speak English this was instantly an issue. Food - Yes, there is a buffet. However it is very repetitive and also at times very little british foods. The restaurant open from 12-5 is good, burgers, pizzas etc however more often than not got our order wrong or forgot what we had ordered. Pool - You WILL NOT get a place at the pool unless you are up at 7am and stay with your towel at the pool until at least 08:30. The staff will remove towels until 08:30 then they go to work at the buffet and therefore people waited till this time then were safe to leave towels. We had to set alarms if we wanted to go to the pool just to get a lounger, which in a 5* hotel we did not expect. We witnessed a couple complaining to staff about repeatedly not getting a lounger and then watched the staff member look for free loungers and when he seen himself there were none he hid at the toilets behind the plants, (I wish I was joking). Tips - When we arrived the porter actually refused to leave our room, he pulled out change and asked how much change we wanted from his tip. We at this point hadn’t changed money and had to bring out a wallet and show him it was empty before he would leave, at this point he then stormed out of the room. For us the positives were the room being immaculate every day, the actual pool and pool bar were excellent, right on the beach with staff bringing people drinks there regularly. We still made the most of it as best we could but we just wanted to raise awareness that this hotel is catered towards German clientele and I would not recommend to anyone, something we have never done before is leave any review nevermind a negative one but we would hate for people not to be made aware.

The sight was very nice I like it very much my family like it very much my children like it too very much my mother like it very much I also tell to my neibhour I also tell it to my friend I also tell it to my college they all like it very very much I am very happy
