Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet our expectations for a 5-star property. It is clearly not one of the newer resorts, and in our opinion, it does not live up to its 5-star rating.
The beach felt more like a small bay, with murky and unclear water, and the beach itself was nothing special. Our room was nice and well-equipped, but we had paid extra for a sea view.
As for the food, the selection was rather basic and heavily focused on fried items. We mostly stuck to grilled meats, vegetables, and fruit. The Turkish Night was a highlight, offering the best food of the entire stay. However, from an ultra all-inclusive 5-star resort, we had expected much more in terms of variety and quality. The drinks and wine, unfortunately, were very disappointing.
Considering the price we paid for this holiday, we had expected a significantly higher standard. On a positive note, the staff were generally very kind and friendly. The only major issue was at check-in when we were told our reservation could not be found, and the reception staff seemed unsure how to handle the situation. We had to resolve the issue ourselves with our travel agency before they were willing to assist us further.
Additionally, we did not receive a lunch packet for our early morning departure, despite being told the restaurant would be open. When I arrived at 4 AM, I expected at least some fruit to take away—but there were only a few unidentified meat patties available.
All in all, we would not choose this hotel again. And if you appreciate high-quality food and wine during your holiday, this may not be the right choice for you either.

Just returned home after a lovely one week stay at this fabulous hotel. From first arrival to the last foot out the door to leave , every member of staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. This hotel has a very high standard of cleanliness and everywhere is spotless which is great. Rooms are spacious and well equipped for your stay . If I had a tiny recommendation pushing two single beds together to make a double is not perfect but having stayed in many hotels that do this I understand how this is more convenient for the hotel to be able to accommodate more variety. Really enjoyed the great food selection on offer. ( im not a fussy eater and will try everything ) i enjoy trying lots of different cuisines and I never once left the dining room wanting or needing more as everything was fresh and delicious . Don't forget to try the biscuits and cakes selection in the patisserie with a lovely coffee. I also highly recommend the iced Latte with a shot of baileys oh my its so good . The bars have a good selection of options especially if you like a cocktail a very long list to try and get through, for the beer drinkers there's 3 good lager style beers but for my the added bonus of draught Guiness being available is the hotel playing an absolute blinder . Well done this added even more to an already great experience. Daytime activities around pool area driven by a fabulous entertainment team everyone one of them just a delight to talk to so take part and join in its a good way to meet others . Evening entertainment had variety really enjoyed the extreme show which had us on edge of seats with the motorbikes in the ring of death wow highly skilled. And if you like to dance then the pool party is going to be right up your alley and get you moving your feet.
All in all this hotel and all the staff made our holiday very enjoyable and we would have no problem returning again and will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
Keep those standards high its working well done and thank you .

An Unforgettable Holiday at Selene Beach & Spa Hotel
It’s been only a week since our holiday ended, but we've already started planning our next trip! The staff and team at the hotel were so attentive and kind that we felt completely at home—like we had been coming to this hotel for years.
Every guest is made to feel special. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, the staff continuously checked in to see if we needed anything.
Even though the hotel area is relatively small, it’s beautifully maintained, with a lovely garden and greenery. There’s a very cozy bar nestled in the greenery where we spent a lot of time—it was so pleasant that we didn’t even feel the need to go to the main restaurant. They serve delicious hamburgers and traditional Turkish pastries right there.
At other hotels we've stayed in, it was always difficult to find a spot on the beach. While the beach here isn’t large, we never had a problem finding sunbeds.
The patisserie staff were friendly and polite, and the desserts were absolutely delicious.
In the evenings, the weather was a bit chilly, so we would sit in the lobby before the animation shows started. The lobby bar staff were incredibly courteous—even when collecting our empty glasses, they asked for our permission first.
Cleanliness was top-notch. We never saw even a single cigarette butt lying around—everything was spotless.
Thank you, Selene Hotel, for this amazing experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

What an amazing hotel! After having to change the hotel we had originally booked to this our hotel only a few weeks before travel we chose this hotel based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed! From upon our arrival, all staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you! The hotel is spotless and the rooms cleaned to a very high standard! We found the different designs made with towels that the maids left on our bed very funny!
You will not go hungry or thirsty at this hotel, so much choice!
We stayed in a swim up pool room which was fabulous!
The pool and beach parties were great fun and it was nice to have a mix of different age groups staying at this hotel.
I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning!

"An ideal hotel. I really loved that the hotel has a 16+ concept. During the day, it's very comfortable, the music in the bars is not loud, no one is shouting or disturbing, and no one is throwing a ball at you. In the evening, the parties for adults are very impressive. The food is very good and everything is always fresh. I visited the spa twice. The rooftop pool is gorgeous with a very beautiful view. I really enjoyed the attitude of the staff – everyone is very caring and constantly asked if everything was okay with me. I really liked the cocktails at the poolside bar; I definitely recommend trying them. My room was a separate delight. Every day, they made very cute animals out of towels on my bed. It was a shame to ruin these figures; sometimes I wanted to ask for extra towels! I've been to many places, but this is the first time I've seen staff who genuinely enjoy their work and love what they do. For the first three days, I was curious and didn't tip anyone, but the staff's attitude didn't change; everything was perfect, and it remained the same after I started tipping. I usually don't stay at the same hotel twice, as I like to explore new places for vacation. But I will definitely return to this hotel. I want to mention some employees who particularly impressed me – the bartenders at the beach bar, Burak and Hayrettin. The guys are always smiling and very attentive to guests. I also liked the female chef in the restaurant, although unfortunately, I don't know her name. I would also like to thank the woman who makes the Turkish flatbreads; she is very sweet. Regarding the cleanliness of the hotel, there are no complaints whatsoever. One evening, I was sitting on the terrace in the lobby, and guests at the next table spilled a drink. Not even a minute had passed before a cleaner came, apologized for the inconvenience, and quickly cleaned everything up. I am amazed at how promptly and professionally everything is handled in this hotel. Many thanks to all the staff; I will definitely be back!"🔥
