Seaden Valentine Resort & Spa Adults Only

I have just come back from this hotel,it was not my first holiday in this hotel,but definitely my last,because I had to deal with a very rude behaviour of some waiters,who are very polite and helpful only to German tourists,everyone else is simply ignored.The hotel has become like a German retirement home,rather than a 5* hotel,so if you are interested in this kind of holiday you will be fine.

I have just come back from this hotel, which is not the first time I've stayed here, but the last time.If you want to spend your holidays in a German retirement home, go ahead! The service has deteriorated so much, the waiters are selective in serving only those they expect to tip, many others are just ignored.I just want to say thank you to the staff who just treat everyone as a guest no matter which country they come from.We all pay the same for our holidays and we should be treated with the same respect too.

90% of hotel guests are German. Most of the hotel staff only speak German, English is less than communicative even at the reception. The German guests were always favored, we felt like second-class guests. In addition, there are unpleasant situations of constantly correcting us in German, you say something in English and they repeat the order in German. Even the Germans' greeting music is the same note every morning: "guten morgen guten morgen". You could get towels from 8 a.m., but most of the nice places by the pool were occupied even from 6 a.m. The food was very average, the breakfasts were great, the other meals were miserable. Everyday the same.

We stayed in this hotel during the August and we had very negative experience so we are sure that we will never come back to this hotel. The rudeness and arrogance of the restoran managers was unbelievable. The way they speak with guests is worth questioning their employment status. The final rudeness was trowing us out from the restoran were we came 10 min earlier (12:20) before restoran is “officially” open at 12:30 (even we explained that in 10 min we need to leave hotel and go to the airport). We said that we want to take just some fruit and choose from the food that is already prepared (most of it was already prepared), but they didn’t allow us to eat even we regularly paid this meal as a part of all inclusive service. During the conversation, the manager’s attitude was highly disrespectful. As we had paid lunch (we arrived on the dinner), we said that in that case we should get the lunch box, but he told us that they don’t do that in this hotel, and that we can use snack bar. We went to the snack bar and saw that snack bar is closed and starts to work at 12:30 (even the lunch is what we paid). At the end we went to reception and spoke with reception manager, and that lady was very nice and tried to fix situation and explained that we have right to the lunch box and that they can prepare something for us, but that was late as our agency already came to pick us up and drive to the airport. Besides that, indoor pool was dirty that you couldn’t swim, elevators have been a few days out of service, very often door keys stop working so you have to go to the reception to get new keys while elevators are not working, sun beds are next to each other on the beach so forget on any privacy that adults hotels usually offers, the beach is shared with other regular hotel, so you will have adults only experience only in hotel, to go to the beach you need to go over the terrible smelling street, the sea is clean only in the morning hours in that area, but the beach is full of rocks, so water shoes are the must (not only on entry, in depth water also, so while you swim you can hit the rocks as water is not see through in Turkey), but for all that I was able to find some justification. However, rudeness and arrogance is something that is unacceptable in any hotel, especially in 5 star hotel for all inclusive service. If you plan to enjoy in your vacation, choose some other hotel.

This hotel was a major disappointment for me. Almost all the guests were elderly German tourists, which made the atmosphere feel more like a retirement home than a holiday resort. The reception staff spoke very poor English, and one of them was outright rude. When I asked about a breakfast box for an early check-out, they pretended not to understand me, which felt dismissive and unhelpful. On the beach, service was inconsistent and seemed selective depending on where you were from. One waiter ignored my order for a cocktail, only to bring it half an hour later with a smile, after I had already gone to the bar myself. The food was tasty but extremely repetitive. Meat dishes were varied, but fish was always the same type prepared with different sauces every day. Out of seven days, seafood and sushi were served only once. As a pescatarian, I had almost no variety and ended up eating the same thing daily. The entire menu seemed designed exclusively for German guests. Some waiters in the restaurant were polite and respectful, and after the first day I managed to figure out where everything was, but overall the hotel felt unfriendly and unwelcoming. There are no clear signs inside the hotel, so finding your way around was frustrating. The beach itself is nice, with a gradual entrance into the sea. But honestly, this does not feel like a 5-star hotel—more like 4 at best. I also don’t understand the overly positive reviews and the guests who return here year after year; it feels like they simply have no point of comparison. Unless you are a senior who enjoys meat-heavy food and cold salads, I would strongly advise staying away from this hotel.

We had a great experience at this hotel. We were staying at this hotel for the first time. The staff was really helpful, particularly a woman called Sevilay, she helped a lot in the restaurant area, even though we didn't know the language perfectly. They cleaned the rooms each day, they also refilled the minibar as well and created some animal formats from towels. Each evening there was a presenter or a show, which was located in the hotel area, and things like karaoke, concerts, and acrobatic presentations in the pool. We recommend it for people above +18, without children since it is an adult-only hotel.
