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

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

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.

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.
