Would I come again? Yes.
Food: 5 stars.
The food is very tasty, with a more than diverse selection. You can also order food and drinks at the bar and restaurant by the pool, as well as on the beach. In addition, the minibar in the rooms is restocked daily.
Service: 5 stars.
The service is truly top-notch. From the reception desk, to the waiters, to the cleaning staff, everyone is kind and professional, creating the impression that I was genuinely welcome and that they were happy to have guests.
Facilities: 5 stars.
The complex is large, but not overwhelmingly so, as some resorts in this part of Turkey can be. Everything is new and impressive. The bars and restaurants are beautiful and spacious. There are also shops, such as a souvenir store, an optician, a hairdresser, a wellness center, and more. I would note that the pool is large enough, but there seems to be a shortage of loungers, so you’ll often see guests getting up early to reserve a spot. This happens especially at the children’s pool, which I would say is small and often crowded.
Conclusion:
An all-inclusive stay at this hotel is worth every cent, especially for those who are not planning an active vacation with excursions and day trips.
Although it’s not related to the hotel, I must mention that the Antalya airport is a real nightmare. I would come again, but only once the airport is functioning properly.

Seaden Quality Resort is marketed as a 5-star hotel, but it doesn’t feel like a true 5-star experience compared to what we are used to in Europe.
When we arrived, a bellboy helped bring our luggage to the room, but overall communication was difficult because most staff don’t speak English well. About 90% of the guests seem to be older German tourists, and all signs, menus, and information are mainly in German. Reception barely spoke English, and when we found a lot of ants in our room upon arrival, we called reception, but they did not take any action.
I would not recommend this hotel for families with kids. The kids club is hidden away in a small 3x3 meter room, only open for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. There’s a small playground next to it, a short kids disco from 20:30-21:00, and that’s about it. The outdoor pools, including the kids’ pool, are very cold. The kids’ pool has only one small slide — nothing exciting for older children. Thankfully, there is a warm indoor pool.
The positive is that they offer 24/7 food service, and their bread, pastries, and desserts are made fresh daily. Portions are huge. However, the food overall feels mid-range for a 5-star hotel: some dishes are good, others not so much. There’s a wide selection, but I would prefer fewer options with better quality. Sushi is not edible (but we have high standards, being Asian). Fruit selection is the same every day: strawberries, apples, pears, bananas, and oranges — no watermelon or melon, which is surprising for a 5-star resort.
The drink menu is okay, but we didn’t like many of the cocktails — they were very average, and every bartender made them differently. No consistency. It’s a good thing they have a lot of staff, but they should definitely train them better.
You won’t find European brand condiments like Heinz; everything is local and lower quality. However, their baklava is very nice — not too sweet.
Sadly, we felt the staff were not always friendly or helpful, and it sometimes felt like we were treated differently for not being German. One staff member even made a slanted eyes gesture when we said we were from Europe/Asia, which we found offensive and very inappropriate.
Other small points: no kids’ soap in the room, and the beach is conveniently close but outside the hotel it’s mostly resorts — not much else unless you walk 30+ minutes.
We stayed for 5 daya, and honestly, we are happy to be leaving tomorrow.
I would not recommend this hotel if you are traveling with kids or if you are not German.

The hotel is old, but well taken care of. It was decorated with very good taste.
We had the simplest room, but it was already very spacious. The view to the street is unfortunately not nice. Rooms were cleaned very well every day, as was the hotel in general.
People working in the bars and the restaurants are very kind. They will go out of their very busy way to help you with anything.
Food ist not very authentic and not very tasty either. Cocktails are prepared with good will, but often with wrong ingredients.
There are signs saying that there are enough chairs by the pool, that belongings reserving them will be removed as of 08:30 if left unattended for 30 minutes. None of this is true. At 08:30 it is already impossible to get a chair, some guests reserve two of them per person, so that they can sun bath and have a place in the shadow.
Smokers are everywhere. You will be a passive smoker during your stay. Outside restaurants, in the pool, by the pool in the chairs close to you, during entertainment in the evenings. People smoke everywhere, all the time. Non-smokers would hugely benefit from smoking areas, so that they could stay away from smokers.
The beach is nice, but more like a lake. The water is warm (in July), dark and there are many, many stones, which you cannot see, since the water is dark. There is a sign when you leave the hotel and enter the beach warning you to mind the stones. They are not sharp, but huge and slippery. Getting in and out of the water is a struggle, you need to find a place with less stones. And unfortunately you will never step on sand once in the water. Once in the water, all you can feel under your feet are stones.
As kind as staff is, some of them struggle speaking a second language. German is the preferred language by most, it seems, but both German and English are often ill spoken or not spoken at all.
Hamam was a very nice experience , much cheaper outside the hotel, though.
Once incident was very upsetting. We were playing a game with my son in one of the restaurants one day, while waiting for the food. Since we were playing, we were laughing and a bit loud. As the food arrives, we stop playing and are almost finished eating, a "guest relations" worker comes to tell us we are in a restaurant, that we are listening to loud music and should stop. We were a bit shocked, explained we played a game for not even 10 minutes and did not listen to music at all. Children are tolerated, while drunk guests are welcome to yell at the pool, while smoking and spilling alcohol (yes, bier in the pool).
All in all, I would neither go back nor recommend.

Quality, like says the name of the hotel is definitely one of the main qualities here. I’ve spent here only 7 nights but it was enough to fully relax and enjoy all the entertainment Seaden Quality has to offer. Spa is top tier, massages made professionally, sauna clean and taken care of. Main restaurant offers one of the best dishes I’ve ever had, desserts included. The variety of foods and desserts is unbelievable, so is the taste. Bars also did not disappoint with the diversity of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Last thing I have to mention is the amazing staff. Everybody is smiling, helpful and making sure that every guest is having the best time possible. I definitely had the best experience possible and will definitely come back! 10 out of 10!
