Good entertainment, good, very good staff

This was the first experience of a holiday in an Aegean resort. Previously, we had holidays in 4 and 5 star hotels in Antalya, Kemera, Alanya, Marmaris and already had an idea of the specifics of holidays in Turkey. That's why they were under no illusions. But staying at the Sealight Resort Hotel made you change your mind about holidays in Turkey for the better. We stayed 13 nights at the hotel, Ultra all inclusive rate. Room. Booked a regular Standard room, with two beds: one and double, for a family of three. Room with pool view. In the experience of staying in past hotels in Turkey, there was a desire to change, as usually in the pool locations in the evening entertainment shows are held, which often does not contribute to a peaceful holiday. But that's what's going on. The room turned out to be quite large in comparison to the hotels they had stayed in before. Standard hygiene kits in the shower. Bed linen and towels are clean, white and surprisingly unwashed to grey. Cleaning and updating of hygiene kits, towels, updating of the minibar were carried out daily, change of linen on request or every three days. Pleasantly surprised the air conditioner, which was quiet as an aircraft engine and was well adjusted on all operating ranges. The staff of the reprechechen kindly informed that the minibar and safe are free (which is not so common in hotels in Turkey). I will not describe the hotel room, as there is enough information about it on the Internet. I'll pay some attention to the restaurant. This is the biggest restaurant I've ever seen. In addition to the spacious indoor hall, there is a veranda with an area 1.5 times larger than the indoor hall. A smart solution is to isolate the hot kitchen workshop in a separate room to prevent smoke and frying smells from entering the hall. The cuisine is varied, the range of dishes for every taste. You won't stay hungry. All in all, pretty good. But by the peak of the hotel there was a shortage of restaurant staff. But there were no queues waiting for available seats. In addition to the main restaurant, there are five on-site restaurants with different cuisines: Mexican, Chinese, Italian, fish restaurant, meat restaurant and barbecue. We really liked Italian. The number of bars did not count, but there is no shortage or difficulty in detecting them. Refrigerators with potable water and ayran are also available at all times. The area around the hotel. The property is relatively small. But the professional analyses of landscape designer and hotel management deserve a separate star. The efficiency of applying different approaches, zoning, crossings, arches, stairs allows to maximize the use of available resources. In addition to bars and restaurants, the hotel has 4 swimming pools. Which are well separated by bridges and crossings, which allows holidaymakers to move not only around the pools, but also through them. I would like to point out that at first glance minor decisions, but together with other nuances, form the overall picture. Placement of sunbeds and umbrellas. The usual beach umbrellas around the swimming pools were replaced by fixed foldable awnings, and this avoided "spreading" the sunbeds throughout the area, which in turn eliminated the extra work of cleaning (in the evening) and installing them (in the morning). In all the hotels where our balcony overlooked the swimming pool, we started the morning with the rumble of sunbeds. In the case of Sealight, a brilliant solution to save employees time and the comfort of vacationers. Bravo! The hotel is located on a cliff, which influences the approach to the beach, the placement of beach infrastructure. But the formation of stepped terraces allowed an original solution to this problem. Descent to the beach and beach areas is accessible even for wheelchair users by gentle ramps. At the same time, terraces and plantings allow holidaymakers to change location depending on solar activity and preferences. Umbrellas on terraces and beach areas are fixed, which also forms a certain locality for sunbeds. Locations for entertainment deserve special attention. The landscape of the area is also played out. An open-air theatre is available for guests, on a terrace below the level of the main square. The stage is mounted and directed towards the slope on which the audience seats are in turn located. Due to the fact that the terrace is below the main square, the sound of performances does not cause discomfort to guests in hotel rooms. This solved the issue of noisy events in the evenings on the territory of the pools. Periodically, on the edge of the bar area, there are performances in the pool area, but they finish before 9.00 p.m. and do not create too much noise. This hotel is the first one we haven't heard of intrusive evening performances. By the way, the repertoire of events is varied, unlike similar in the hotels listed above. Beach. The beach area is small. Since the whole beach is municipal, only half of the hotel applies. The coastal zone is about 100 meters long, about 10 meters wide. The sand is big. Entry into the water is gentle, the first 2-3 meters are rocky, further sand. At the same time, at a distance of 3-4 meters from the shore, the depth can reach 1 meter, with a smooth depression. Feature of the beach due to the currents in the bay in the sea wave. It almost always does. Sometimes the excitement is so powerful it's hard to get into the water. But for those who want to swim, this is not a problem. But lifeguards are in control, and in some cases are forbidden to enter the water. Despite the small beachfront area, the presence of terraces above the shore solves the problem for sunbathers and bathers. In the entire stay, never encountered the problem of lack of sunbeds. Interesting beach access solution. There is a shuttle service from the towel exchange point to the seafood restaurant. Immediately remembered the m/f "Wally." Most importantly, PERSONNEL. How professional staff in resort hotels have not previously met. The hotel management feels very sensitive to this issue. All personnel are friendly and available to assist if necessary. He is alert and unobtrusive. At no point in Sealight has the staff attempted to solicit tips! Which is unusual for Turkish resort hotels. In this hotel was greatly surprised and somewhat admired by the availability of customer service. I.e. in case of any questions or problems, the guest does not go to the reception and torments the administrators. But turns to customer service where your questions are answered. A special bonus in this service is - knowledge of the employees in Russian. In this case, I want to say a huge thank you to Dinara and Inna. The girls provided assistance on everything from restaurant hours to finding a laundry in the city or the location of the nearest pharmacy. The girls told us which way to get to the malls. When we had an overlap with the restaurant reservation because of the tour, Inna helped us with that as well. I think if we needed to change the number, we'd get help. Detailed information about the spa was provided by Pauline and her husband. Very positive people. As I've written before, the staff are very friendly. Even when I asked the DJ what song he was playing before the animation started, I got an answer. By the way, the girls at the bar near the DJ remote speak a little Korean. It was unexpected and nice. Special thanks to the chef of the Italian restaurant Dolce vita. It was delicious! Restaurant attendants were also up to the task. What I wanted to change. 1. On the veranda of the main restaurant, it would be nice to delineate the smoking area. I.e. to set aside a separate space on the veranda where smokers did not disturb the habit of others. 2. Having a smoking area under non-smoking rooms is not a good idea. After lunch, the second floor rooms cannot open the balcony, smoke enters the room. 3. Guests who speak loudly at night, and not just in the smoking area, interfere with sleep. But despite these nuances, the impression of Sealight and the time spent in it is only positive. There was a desire to return to this hotel. Thank you for a great holiday!
