Seaden Quality Resort & Spa

Simone Souza Lobato Miguel

The hotel is old, but well taken care of. It was decorated with very good taste. We had the simplest room, but it was already very spacious. The view to the street is unfortunately not nice. Rooms were cleaned very well every day, as was the hotel in general. People working in the bars and the restaurants are very kind. They will go out of their very busy way to help you with anything. Food ist not very authentic and not very tasty either. Cocktails are prepared with good will, but often with wrong ingredients. There are signs saying that there are enough chairs by the pool, that belongings reserving them will be removed as of 08:30 if left unattended for 30 minutes. None of this is true. At 08:30 it is already impossible to get a chair, some guests reserve two of them per person, so that they can sun bath and have a place in the shadow. Smokers are everywhere. You will be a passive smoker during your stay. Outside restaurants, in the pool, by the pool in the chairs close to you, during entertainment in the evenings. People smoke everywhere, all the time. Non-smokers would hugely benefit from smoking areas, so that they could stay away from smokers. The beach is nice, but more like a lake. The water is warm (in July), dark and there are many, many stones, which you cannot see, since the water is dark. There is a sign when you leave the hotel and enter the beach warning you to mind the stones. They are not sharp, but huge and slippery. Getting in and out of the water is a struggle, you need to find a place with less stones. And unfortunately you will never step on sand once in the water. Once in the water, all you can feel under your feet are stones. As kind as staff is, some of them struggle speaking a second language. German is the preferred language by most, it seems, but both German and English are often ill spoken or not spoken at all. Hamam was a very nice experience , much cheaper outside the hotel, though. Once incident was very upsetting. We were playing a game with my son in one of the restaurants one day, while waiting for the food. Since we were playing, we were laughing and a bit loud. As the food arrives, we stop playing and are almost finished eating, a "guest relations" worker comes to tell us we are in a restaurant, that we are listening to loud music and should stop. We were a bit shocked, explained we played a game for not even 10 minutes and did not listen to music at all. Children are tolerated, while drunk guests are welcome to yell at the pool, while smoking and spilling alcohol (yes, bier in the pool). All in all, I would neither go back nor recommend.

Seaden Quality Resort is marketed as a 5-star hotel, but it doesn’t feel like a true 5-star experience compared to what we are used to in Europe. When we arrived, a bellboy helped bring our luggage to the room, but overall communication was difficult because most staff don’t speak English well. About 90% of the guests seem to be older German tourists, and all signs, menus, and information are mainly in German. Reception barely spoke English, and when we found a lot of ants in our room upon arrival, we called reception, but they did not take any action. I would not recommend this hotel for families with kids. The kids club is hidden away in a small 3x3 meter room, only open for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. There’s a small playground next to it, a short kids disco from 20:30-21:00, and that’s about it. The outdoor pools, including the kids’ pool, are very cold. The kids’ pool has only one small slide — nothing exciting for older children. Thankfully, there is a warm indoor pool. The positive is that they offer 24/7 food service, and their bread, pastries, and desserts are made fresh daily. Portions are huge. However, the food overall feels mid-range for a 5-star hotel: some dishes are good, others not so much. There’s a wide selection, but I would prefer fewer options with better quality. Sushi is not edible (but we have high standards, being Asian). Fruit selection is the same every day: strawberries, apples, pears, bananas, and oranges — no watermelon or melon, which is surprising for a 5-star resort. The drink menu is okay, but we didn’t like many of the cocktails — they were very average, and every bartender made them differently. No consistency. It’s a good thing they have a lot of staff, but they should definitely train them better. You won’t find European brand condiments like Heinz; everything is local and lower quality. However, their baklava is very nice — not too sweet. Sadly, we felt the staff were not always friendly or helpful, and it sometimes felt like we were treated differently for not being German. One staff member even made a slanted eyes gesture when we said we were from Europe/Asia, which we found offensive and very inappropriate. Other small points: no kids’ soap in the room, and the beach is conveniently close but outside the hotel it’s mostly resorts — not much else unless you walk 30+ minutes. We stayed for 5 daya, and honestly, we are happy to be leaving tomorrow. I would not recommend this hotel if you are traveling with kids or if you are not German.

The hotel impressed us right from the start. All the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional. A special thanks goes to Neire Karal, the Guest Relations Manager, who took care of us from beginning to end. She was genuinely kind and attentive, and we even met several times for coffee, which made our stay feel very personal and comfortable. We especially want to highlight the outstanding service from the waiters Zekeriya Satıcı, Tolga Seven, and Samet Kara. Their friendly and professional approach stood out clearly during our stay. They consistently showed great attentiveness and genuine care towards all guests. Through their positive attitude and reliable service, they contributed significantly to a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Their dedication and professionalism made a noticeable difference and left a lasting positive impression. The food was another big highlight. The buffet was great, but what really made a difference were the three à la carte restaurants offering international, Turkish, and Italian cuisine. Dining there felt like going to a fancy restaurant outside the hotel, and we loved trying all the different flavors. I traveled with my mother, and it was our first holiday alone together. We were a bit worried it might get boring, but that couldn’t have been more wrong. The evening shows starting at 9:15 pm were entertaining every night, with everything from musicals and water shows to live bands and music. We always felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. Besides the people mentioned above, we’d also like to thank Furkan and Ömer at the pool bar, as well as Bayram Yılmaz, Ersin Göl, Tacettin Aldırtmaz, Fatih Sağır, Tahsin Yerli, Halil Efe Gök, Deniz Taşkın, and Burcu Koç Şahin for their friendly service. We would definitely come back, it was a wonderful and memorable holiday. Overall, this hotel is an excellent choice for those seeking relaxation, entertainment, and high-quality cuisine.

Overall a good hotel. We had a few strange experiences that sadly ruined the chance of giving this 5 stars. What we loved: -The hotel overall is modern and very clean -Food and drink is amazing, the buffet and snack restaurants are great value for money, drinks are quite watered down but that’s to be expected with all inclusive -The rooms are beautiful. We had a room on 8th floor which was a great view -The hotel tries to offer everything and meet everyones needs for their holidays What was strange: Our first 10 minutes in the hotel was spent finding our room, the “bell boy” kindly brought our suitcases up for us, we had beat him to the room so he knocked on the door. I opened the door, gesturing to take the luggage from him. He then pushed through, came straight into the middle of the room and gestured his hand out for money. I was so shocked that he pushed into our room and did this, I explained this to another English couple and he had done the same to them!!! It gave us a really weird feeling. Secondly, when visiting the Turkish A la carte, I was served raw chicken. I have uploaded a photo to show. This again, made us feel really weird! Despite this, some of the staff here are very friendly. I want to make a special mention to the poolside rollerskating waiters- they are the only people in the hotel who are friendly but authentically nice. The one who does the side by kids pool is a really lovely guy. You can tell he expects nothing in return for being nice and doesn’t bother you if you’re relaxing but is so attentive too. Thank you to him.

Quality, like says the name of the hotel is definitely one of the main qualities here. I’ve spent here only 7 nights but it was enough to fully relax and enjoy all the entertainment Seaden Quality has to offer. Spa is top tier, massages made professionally, sauna clean and taken care of. Main restaurant offers one of the best dishes I’ve ever had, desserts included. The variety of foods and desserts is unbelievable, so is the taste. Bars also did not disappoint with the diversity of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Last thing I have to mention is the amazing staff. Everybody is smiling, helpful and making sure that every guest is having the best time possible. I definitely had the best experience possible and will definitely come back! 10 out of 10!
