Selene Beach & Spa Hotel

Very nice, lovely atmosphere and nice staff members. I will definitely come back.

Really good hotel’s very nice and clean rooms and nice food and drinks and good service

Superb hotel, awesome food and fantastic staff. Tried this place for the first time this year and were really impressed. The hotel looks superb, is very well kept and very clean and the staff are all very friendly and attentive. It's the perfect size as well, not big and unwieldy like some that were nearby. The food choice and quality in the restaurant for all meals was excellent, best we've experienced to date and with my wife being celiac she often struggles with food options - not here! Staff were knowledgeable and helpful and I've not seen her eat so much and so well for years! Will miss that food especially the baklava! The coffee shop in the hotel is great with cakes and ice creams as well as great coffee available - not open all day but most of it. We opted to upgrade our room to a suite (as it was a joint birthday treat for ourselves) and we were really pleased we did (room 624 if you're interested, right next to the Spa) as the balcony was huge with 2 loungers and an egg chair as well as the room splitting into a living and sleeping area. The cost to us for 2 weeks for this upgrade was £450 if you're interested, but as a treat was well worth it. The pool is great but we spent most of our 14 days on the beach which is literally 100 yards away so only spent the end of the day there for half an hour or so. The pool area does suffer the usual 'towels at dawn' brigade which is sad and annoying in equal measure - we were up early and saw folks dropping towels at 6.30 and 7.00am and then tootling off for ages! The beach area allocated to the hotel (which we only discovered when we got there) is smaller than the brochure (and some website photos) led us to believe. Not a major headache but it does mean it can get cramped and other beds are close to yours. Sea is lovely and warm and pretty salty so you can bob around in it for ages! Close to the hotel were quite a few shops selling the usual Turkish delights - bags, clothes etc, all the usual knock off names and all at prices well below normal. Beware that what they show you is what you get as we fell foul of this on one occasion with some 'branded' boxers - were shown some high quality items only to find back at the hotel that the ones in the bag were of dubious quality! The bags seemed better though. Be prepared to haggle hard and tell them to get stuffed if they hassle! You'll also find that most shops sell exactly the same stuff - all from the same containers I guess. The pharmacies stock everything on the planet and you can get prescription items over the counter as well of lots of other stuff too - cool to stock up for the UK. The only fly in the ointment I guess would be the nighttime noise from the hotel(s) nearby. With this being an adults only 'spa' hotel we were hoping for a bit of peace and quiet to some degree (not total silence) for that ultimate chill holiday but the hotel next door blares music until 11.30pm so if you've had a heavy day on the beach and crash about 10.30pm you ain't getting to sleep straight away! If you're up for a party though you'll love it! The gym in the hotel is really good and we spent the early part of the day in there trying to escape the clutches of time! Plenty of free weights, benches and equipment to keep anyone happy plus bottled water in the well stocked fridge. In fact there was free bottled water all round the hotel to take at any time, very handy and a nice touch. Forgot that Turkish hotels are tip oriented so had to pull out a few Euros to grease the palms of a few waiters and beach staff. Worth it though as you got stronger measures and better treatment in the restaurant - all part of the game! Overall we'd give this place a solid 8.5 out of 10 only losing those extra marks for the smallish beach area and noisy neighbours. If we could transplant this hotel somewhere quieter it would easily be a 10 as the hotel itself, food and staff are a solid 10 on their own.

Everything is good. Second time here, we love this place.

Our 2nd visit to this hotel. Our first time was in 2023. As soon as we arrived at 3am, we were greeted by one staff member on reception who asked us if we wanted to upgrade to a sea view room for €350. We declined. When we entered our room we did have a partial sea view room so that was a bonus. We were not told that we could have a snack and a drink in the restaurant but we knew from our first stay that this was available till 5am. Our room was clean, 2 separate single beds pushed together. They did put a fitted sheet over both beds on our 2nd day. Our room was not throughly cleaned everyday. Bed was made and towels changed, bathroom cleaned but the floor was not hoovered and mopped till I asked housekeeping to do it. Tea bags and sugar was not filled up, somedays water was not left in our room. Daytime activities lack enthusiasm. The staff were lovely but they need to be more proactive, encouraging and energetic so people join in. Getting a sunbed is impossible if you dont get up before 7am, sunbeds are overcrowded and too close together. No room to walk in between. The evening entertainment was very disappointing compared to 2023. Karaoke, Bingo costing €15, the same dance show and seaside party in week 1 and week 2. No background music in the bar area, bright lighting no atmosphere. The snack bar around the pool is scruffy and needs attention. Ants allover the seats and table in the snack area in the beach bar. The best assets of this hotel are Jane the guest relations rep and Mehmet in the restaurant without them I think our holiday would have been much worse. We will not return unless things change massively.
