Seaden Sea World Resort & Spa

On entering the hotel you are blown away by the reception area!! Absolutely beautiful!! All staff we came in contact with VERY helpful. We got a free upgrade to a suite. It was a great size, a beautiful view of the pool. Yes the hotel is full of German /Russian/ anyone other than English people. As Scots that don't like to speak to people or make friends on holiday this was our idea of heaven. We happen to look a bit German so didn't stick out and no one spoke to us, no one tried to make us play aqua-gym when we didn't want to....Absolutely brilliant!! Learn a couple of German please and thank yous and you'll blend right in. Food... classic Scottish...take the English reviews which a pinch of salt....Na there isn't a full Sunday roast...guess what....you're not in a country that has a classic Sunday roast....if you're going on holiday expecting to try good turkish/Mediterranean food that is exactly what you will get. We absolutely loved trying new foods, salads, classic Turkish food! It was great. Drinks were cold! Drinks were good! Cocktails were good, Ice cream was a hit! Entertainment took me back to when I went on holiday as a child and people spoke the language of the country you are in! Yes the Entertainment is in either Turkish or German....we embraced it! You are in Turkey which is next door to Germany! The foam party and then Oktoberfest party at night was our absolute favourite day. Got to experience a classic Oktoberfest event without the expense of going to Germany. We had a 2 year old and didn't find the music/Entertainment to loud for him to sleep...we were facing right on to the pool so it was loud. We didn't use the kids club. We did use the kids pool, he's 2 so repetition was great for him. He spent all day going up and down the same 4 slides, slightly older might have found it a little boring by day 4 without making friends to play with. Location wise it is quite far from any towns,was €25 in a taxi into Side (which by the way is beautiful!!) But 50 round trip we only did it once. There are plenty genuine fake shops right outside the hotel and a small mall type shop probably about a 25 min walk. All in all we had an amazing time!! If you want a hotel to relax by the pool in the day, not make holiday friends and drink in the hotel in the night you'll love it!!

For the price this is one of the most amazing hotels in which you could stay. As soon as you walk in the reception takes your breath away and the hotel is beautiful throughout. The rooms are lovely and spotless in fact if you book with a pool or sea view they are amazing. The pool areas are spacious and you have the choice of both entertainment pools and quiet ones. If you can’t eat well here then the problem is with you and not the hotel. You should be aware that the hotel resort is some distance from Side however there are good bus and taxi services. It is not in a major tourist area however there are local shops and services. Yes there are more Germans and East Europeans than British but if you’re not too insecure in yourself you will find that they actually talk and are good to get along with. You are in turkey after all and not everything revolves around chips and egg!

I recently returned from a highly disappointing stay at the Seaden Sea World Resort in Side, Turkey, booked through TUI as part of their Platinum Holiday package, and I feel compelled to warn others about our experience. 1. Unhelpful and Rude Staff The level of service from the staff was shockingly poor. We encountered multiple issues with staff members who were not only rude but appeared completely disinterested in helping. On several occasions, I asked for something as simple as a shandy or a bottle of water, only to be met with blank stares. It seemed as though they didn’t understand the request, which was frustrating enough, but their miserable attitudes made the entire experience worse. It felt like they resented being there, which in turn, made us feel unwelcome throughout our stay. 2. Tailored Solely to Germans One thing that became immediately obvious is that this hotel is designed almost exclusively for German guests. While there’s nothing wrong with that in itself, it became an issue when none of the staff seemed to understand or speak English. The limited English they did try to use was poorly translated, making it hard to communicate basic needs. If you’re not fluent in German, be prepared for significant communication issues throughout your stay. This resort is not at all international-friendly, despite what the booking suggests. I urge potential guests to listen to the reviews and avoid this place. 3. Shocking Food Labelling - A Nightmare for Vegetarians and Those with Allergies As a vegetarian, the food situation was absolutely disgraceful. There were multiple instances where food was either mislabeled or completely unlabeled. On more than one occasion, I unknowingly ate meat because what appeared to be vegetarian dishes, like chickpeas in tomato sauce, were actually mixed with lumps of meat. Even worse, items that were clearly labelled as vegetarian were anything but: “spinach” was actually spinach wrapped in a slice of meat, and “onion rings” turned out to be rice, onions, and meat shaped into a ball. Both seemed vegetarian but were not. This is utterly unacceptable, and anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies should avoid this hotel at all costs. I dread to think what could happen if someone with a serious allergy ate something mislabelled or unlabeled – it’s a disaster waiting to happen. The lack of proper food labeling is not only negligent but dangerous. (I’ve included photos showing the serious mislabeling of food as proof.) 4. Lack of Food Variety, Reused Dishes, and Dirty Utensils While some reviews mentioned that there wasn’t enough “English food” - this wasn’t a major concern for me; I was looking forward to experiencing a more varied cuisine. However, the sheer lack of variety when it came to international cuisine was disappointing. Worse still, food was often reused and repurposed into questionable dishes at lunch, dinner, or even the next day’s breakfast. This wasn’t just limited to leftovers being reheated,

Stayed at this hotel 18th to 25th September 2024. It is very impressive, very good accommodation and rooms etc always kept clean. Large choice of foods in restaurant but hot meals need to be hotter, beautiful pool areas. I had my birthday whilst there and the client representative Christina made the occasion very special for me along with my friends. Thank you Christina for all you did the memory will always be with me xx

The hotel looked lovely and was clean , our room was perfect , no complaints there , but to be honest the food was awful and we didn't really find any of the staff friendly at all , it was our first time in Antalya, thought we would have a change from our usual choice in the Dalaman area , big mistake , we will be back that way next year , much friendlier to the Brits .Despite this all though we did have a relaxing break , just a bit hungry.

The lady in guest relations Christina was amazing she couldn’t do enough to help us the hotel was so clean and huge and very beautiful food was lovely could do with being a bit hotter pool is amazing I couldn’t fault the hotel at all this is the second time and would definitely go back again
