Seven Seas Hotel Blue

Nice back again

We arrived at this hotel after midnight. Very warm welcome and food available until 1am which was great for hungry and tired children. Room was very spacious split across 2 levels - open plan room. I think it was an upgrade from what I booked with Jet2. Was a nice room with two floors, 2 showers and 2 balcony. (top level was huge). You could hear noises in the room from people outside and the baby crying next door, but I find this in a lot of hotels I visit. Cleaned regularly and good standard room. Fridge with soft drinks (which was refilled), tea and coffee facilities, towells and we had a bonus of bath robes too. The hotel was Fab and clean and the staff very friendly. If you go in October prepare for the freezing cold pools - we did not expect this. Also the slides are 12 and over for 3 slides which I did not read in the info before I went so this was a bit of a disappointment with a 9 year old very capable swimmer. Sea was lovely and warm. Bit pebbly but nothing major and the beach was clean. Loads of sun beds available. One day I noticed the beach was busy (pool temps meant we spent time at the beach and I assume lots of other families did too), and the staff brought unused sunbeds from pool to beach for guests. I thought this was Fab! Food was good I knew all restaurants would not be open due to it being end of season. Italian and Turkish ala-carte were fantastic. Buffet choice good too. All staff faboulous that were hotel staff. Shop staff tended to make prices up and they were very expensive (double the shop at the end of the road) . My recommendation would be to visit local shops to get supplies much better prices. We had photos taken by photo shop - all staff in there were amazing!! And the pics were super! The one thing that stuck me as an able bodied person was the disabled facilities. A lift on the main staircase from reception area down to restaurant and beach area. And a beach wheelchair. Which is amazing to see and really inclusive! We saw the lifeguard help a disabled person in the beach wheelchair enter the sea for a swim. (two lifeguards on duty and the other one watching the sea while one helped). Really pleased to see such great facilities for less able bodied people. The one thing that made this hotel great for us which we will consider when we return to turkey was the beach being inside the hotel grounds- a real winner not having to walk to the beach. The hotel had a few cats which would sit on your lap while at the piano bar/lobby my kids loved it. Well kept and friendly cats. I would go back to this hotel we had no issues and it was a good holiday (bar the pool temp but if I had looked at google before hand I would have known the pool temp was freezing. We did use the pool but not for long periods.) Lovely hotel and staff would be my summary.
