We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our holiday. Everyone at the hotel was friendly, welcoming, and hardworking. The restaurant staff were always fast, kind, and smiling. The lobby and pool bar teams were also very helpful. Housekeeping did a great job—our room and all the public areas were always very clean. The food was delicious. A special thanks to the lady at the patisserie, who was so kind and looked after everything with great care. We also want to thank the entertainment team, especially Bedirhan, Vaileth, Şükriye, and Salma. They were not only great entertainers but also always checking on guests and making everyone feel welcome. The guests at the hotel were also very respectful, which made the atmosphere even better. Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so enjoyable. We hope to come back again!

“Honest review”

We stayed here twice, mainly because it was convenient while undergoing fertility treatment nearby. We definitely didn't return by choice, but we knew what to expect on our second visit.

We stayed here twice, mainly because it was convenient while undergoing fertility treatment nearby. We definitely didn't return by choice, but we knew what to expect on our second visit. In my opinion, this is not the 5-star resort it's advertised to be. Having stayed at some genuinely lovely hotels in Turkey, I'd rate Sealife as a 3-star hotel at best. The hotel doesn't cater well for food allergies. Around half the time, food wasn't labelled in the restaurant. The only allergy-friendly options provided were gluten-free bread and lactose-free milk. Thankfully, there are some great local restaurants nearby that offer proper gluten-free options. The food overall was average, although the freshly made food from the snack bar was much better. Unfortunately, I tried the gluten-free bread provided by the hotel and had a reaction within an hour. Meal times are chaotic. It feels like a zoo, although that's mainly due to rude guests pushing in front of queues. Table service is also very inconsistent—one day you're asked what drinks you'd like, and the next you're completely ignored. A lot of the meat is served in wraps, which again isn't ideal for anyone with allergies. There were also cats wandering around the restaurant, which wasn't particularly pleasant. Ice cream is only available from 12pm to 4pm, then again during the main restaurant opening times, which isn't ideal for a family hotel. On one occasion, we were even told they couldn't serve any because they'd lost the key to the freezer. The snack bar, open from 12pm to 4pm, was one of the highlights. Food is freshly cooked to order and brought to your table. My partner and our little boy especially loved the chicken wraps. The hotel advertises room service, but after ordering through the app, our food never arrived. The water slide felt unsafe, and the upper pool is designated as a "relax" pool where floats, jumping in and splashing aren't allowed. For a hotel marketed as family-friendly, this seems contradictory. It feels like they're trying to cater to both adults-only guests and families, but don't quite manage either. The tunnel leading to the beach is convenient, and the beach bar is excellent. The sea is lovely too. However, anyone with mobility issues should be aware that you have to duck quite low to get through parts of the tunnel. The entertainment is disappointing for a hotel claiming to be 5-star. Activities are mostly the same every day, including aqua aerobics, darts, Jenga and occasionally water polo. That said, the entertainment team were fantastic. A special mention goes to SuSu and Selma, who were brilliant throughout our stay. The kids' club is great, especially as parents are welcome to stay with their children. Another huge thank you to SuSu, who was absolutely amazing with the children. Most of the staff weren't particularly friendly, although there were a few exceptions. The spa offers excellent massages at reasonable prices, although staff can be quite pushy when trying to sell additional treatments. Finally, I have to mention Iva in the patisserie/coffee shop. She is one of the loveliest people I've ever met and genuinely made our stay more enjoyable. Her kindness, warmth and customer service were exceptional Location - was okay. Easy accessible for taxis to travel.
