Selene Beach & Spa Hotel

This is the first time in my life that I’m writing a negative review. When traveling with my husband, we always choose adults-only hotels with a high standard. Despite the very good reviews and all the online hype, this hotel completely disappointed us. We were extremely disappointed by the hotel staff. The waiters in the dining area couldn’t care less about the guests or keeping the place clean. When someone finished eating and you wanted to sit at that table (because sometimes you had to walk around just to find a free spot), the staff didn’t even lay out fresh cutlery; you had to serve yourself. As for the food, there was a very limited selection for such a large hotel—far too much local Turkish food and not enough international dishes. In our room, there were constant issues with the power because the fuses kept tripping. It even happened once in the main dining hall—apparently, that’s just standard practice here 😀. The guest relations manager was very rude and downright abrasive. I got the impression that some of the employees were working there as a punishment. If something spilled and you asked them to clean it up, they simply didn't care—total ignorance. European guests are treated worse than local Turkish guests, and 90% of the hotel entertainment is aimed strictly at local guests as well. I am deeply disappointed with our stay. We paid so much money, and this hotel really leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not a picky person, but if I pay this kind of money for a hotel stay, I expect a high level of service. In my opinion, this hotel deserves 4 stars at most and a definite drop in price.
