Side Sun

Fantastic hotel. We went as 2 families, older teens and adults and we all had a fantastic time. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the cleaning crew are constantly cleaning and removing rubbish from around the pool, they do work tirelessly. The rooms were nice, what we would expect from an all Inclusive and the maid came daily, replenishing the mini bar every day also. The food is great, the buffet food is always hot with plenty of choice but the outdoor freshly cooked area is brilliant at night with at least 7 or 8 choices, we mainly had our food from there on an evening. The pool bar offers snacks at lunch time ranging from salmon fillets to chicken strips all ordered on a QR code which was a great system. The beach bar which you can get to by shuttle bus, or you can walk about 15 minutes was the same and they had more choices of food. I would say in all our years of travelling the food here was by far the best in choice and quality. Cocktails were first class although expect to get different ones depending on what bar/bar tender you had as they seemed to make them differently (the benefit of AI of course is that you can just order another). Local beer was EFES and the spirits were premium so all good. There are fridge's full of water and juices and also slushy machines at all the bars, you just help yourself. The service with the exception of 2 incidents we had was excellent, we do tip but I don't think you would have to to be provided with the same service. Lots of shops etc outside the hotel selling bags, clothing food etc. My only issue here was the sun beds. Many were reserved very early and other than a warning card left on the towels they were not removed. Our first week was fine but the second week as the hotel got busier there was less availability for sun beds around the pool and many were reserved all day and not used. That being said we were early risers and didn't have any problem getting beds. The daily entertainment is very good and the team work hard to get everyone involved, the evening entertainment is as you would expect in an AI. We had an excellent holiday and whilst I rarely return to the same hotel twice I would definitely return here.

A truly lovely place. We visited as part of a larger group, celebrating my son’s 30th birthday. Stayed at seashell vega last week and it was honestly one of the most perfect places we have ever been to. Transfer from the airport takes around an hour, and check in was most pleasant, I always take chocolates for check in staff and the gentlemen were very grateful, our cases were taken to our room too by a most helpful guy on the front desk. We were on the 3rd floor, room 3519 and it was fantastic. Very clean, spacious, comfortable bed and large bathroom. Great choice of complimentary minibar items also and a handy fridge, as well as tea, coffee and water, restocked every day. Plentiful good quality bathroom goods and shower caps etc. bathrobes and slippers also provided. Aircon in the room was very good. Hotel itself is stunning, lobby is luxurious, spacious and has lots of comfortable seating areas. Lobby bar excellent, the seashell vega cocktail is amazing! All bar staff were friendly and fast, smiling pleasant faces every day, absolute credit to Seashell, everyone was really nice to us. We went to the pool each day, got up early so sun beds not an issue for us, pool area super clean and the temperature is perfect. Food options were also brilliant, from the buffet restaurant to the pool lunch, the food was delicious. Plenty of choice and presented beautifully. Breakfast omelettes were wonderful! We only went to the Beach bar once in the evening (I don’t like sand) and it was busy. Pool bar/arena was fun of an evening, the entertainment team are lots of fun, bingo was great! During the day there are pool games and aerobics each day at set times, you are able to use inflatables at the pool no problem at all, they also sell them at the hotel shop, and guy inflates for you. Shops in the lobby of the hotel are ok, with nice shopkeepers, other shops are within walking distance too, some just around the corner from hotel, lots more a little further on. Great for families with children, adults, couples, and groups, everyone is catered for and treated like valued guests. I sadly fell ill 5 hours before I was due to travel home, and had to see the hotel doctor, which was not a pleasant experience, however, this has not put me off wishing to return to seashell vega, I am already looking at dates for next year, a wonderful family trip.

A very nice hotel with super great staff. If you treat everyone with respect, you get it back twofold. Such lovely people. The food is simply mega. If someone complains there, then I really don't know. There is so much selection… Whether it's the restaurant, pool bar, bistro, à la carte, or beach bar... everything is simply delicious. The entertainment team takes care of the daytime activities. It's worth just joining in :) There is a beach party twice a week and a foam party every two weeks, which we unfortunately couldn't experience. You can also do some pretty good shopping there. Anyone who wants to can reach everything by dolmus, whether it's Side or the Manavgat bazaar, etc. There is so much to tell... Just book and enjoy ;)
