Otium Sealight Beach Resort

We stayed at this hotel and were absolutely delighted! The rooms are clean, cozy, and equipped with everything you need. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. The food is tasty and varied, with plenty of options to choose from every day. The grounds are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and comfortable. A special thanks to the reception staff Turan, the guest relations team Inna, Dinara, and Gekan, the animation team member Sinan, and the lady who makes the gözleme pancakes unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. This is an excellent place that makes you want to come back again!

I stayed at this hotel in late September 2025 with my children and parents. It was a high-quality vacation — the food suited every taste, there was always coffee available for me and ice cream for the kids. The staff were friendly and attentive. The private beach was small but cozy, and there were plenty of activities for children, including a water park and an animation team. The rooms were clean and tidy. The service was not intrusive, yet the tour guides were professional. I haven’t been to many places in Turkey, but I would gladly return to this hotel again — to relax from daily life, entertain the kids, and spend time with my parents, who live in another country.

My wife and I had a very nice holiday at Sealight Resort in Kusadasi. The location is truly beautiful, with amazing sea views and sunshine all day long. You can relax at the main pool or take the steep path down to the beach, where there are several sitting and lounge areas — much calmer and more relaxing than around the pool. The towel service is very efficient. However, many guests put towels on sunbeds extremely early in the morning and then disappear for most of the day. Since there’s plenty of space, I would suggest the hotel create a small paid “reserved zone” for those who want to keep a bed all day — and maybe donate the collected money to a local charity. Unfortunately, there’s a huge problem with wasps. This seriously affects the experience. I really don’t want the usual “eco and biodiversity” excuse — removing a few nests on the hotel grounds wouldn’t harm nature. In your own garden, you’d also remove them. Buffet Restaurant We never expect too much from all-inclusive buffets, but this one was slightly better than expected. There’s good variety, with some daily changes. Some dishes were even excellent — when they were warm. Unfortunately, that wasn’t often the case. Food was almost always lukewarm or cold, even if you came early. Eggs in the morning were cold, and most hot dishes had clearly been sitting there for a long time. Desserts were exactly the same every day, with no variation at all. The staff at the buffet is not well-trained. About 8 out of 10 times, our table wasn’t set, and we had to do it ourselves. Also, waiters kept removing our glasses or cards when we stood up for another dish — even though it was obvious we weren’t finished. There’s someone at the restaurant entrance, but I have no idea what their purpose is except to say hello and goodbye. The F&B manager should really spend more time training his staff instead of chatting and laughing around (yes, we noticed that too). À la Carte Restaurants You can only make reservations at the guest relations desk, not at the reception (even if several receptionists are just standing there doing nothing). So you have to queue up — we had only four people in front of us, but it still took ages. When it’s finally your turn, you find out not all restaurants are open every day, so your choices are limited. We wanted the Turkish restaurant, but when we reached the desk at 10:10 a.m., it was already “fully booked.” How is that possible with only a few guests before us? Their system simply doesn’t make sense. If a hotel sets rules, they should respect them — not make exceptions for certain guests. We ended up going to the Italian restaurant, and honestly, it was terrible. My starter was a seafood risotto — not good at all — with only two shrimps, one mussel, and one small piece of calamari. My wife ordered risotto as a main dish — no seafood at all in hers! Her soup starter was also luke-warm, and my main course, the meat, tasted good but was cooked completely differently from what I asked. To top it off, when you leave, they hand you a small book expecting a tip. Sorry, but that’s unacceptable. It was the worst à la carte restaurant we’ve ever had in a hotel. The snack bars around the pool and near the beach were also very poor — both in quality and service. Definitely not worth trying. Bars, Drinks & Service The bars are cozy, and the atmosphere is nice. However, the drinks are mediocre. You can order the same cocktail 10 times, and you’ll probably get 9 different versions. Again, this shows a lack of proper training. Cleanliness & Entertainment The cleanliness throughout the hotel is excellent — no complaints at all. We joined the evening entertainment twice, and it was honestly great fun. Overall, we had a good holiday thanks to the location, sea view, and atmosphere, but the restaurant service and staff training really need serious improvement. With better management and organization, Sealight Resort could easily become an excellent hotel.

This place is definitely not 5 stars. At best, it deserves 3 stars. There’s a large variety of food, but the overall quality is poor and disappointing. I accidentally left my wallet at the hotel, and after calling the front desk, they offered a courier delivery service for $100. A few minutes later, the hotel called back and doubled the amount. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Room/bathroom are ok, but not well cleaned. I would not recommend this place based on the quality and the way they handle guests.

The hotel is good. We enjoyed our stay.Plenty of food and desserts. Clean rooms with nice view. I am giving 4 star review because some of the bartenders really seemed annoyed,i do realize their work is stressful and most of the guests don't know how to act but we as a polite people expected more friendly attitude from them ( of course not all of them were like that ) Also the furnitures in the lobby smelled really bad. I wish they played more turkish music. Apart of this things we liked the Sea light resort.I want to metion one of the waiters at the restaurant who's name is Mohammed or Mohammad from Ankara - He was the best! He definitely knows how to treat guests. We felt important and special when he served us. He deservers a raise. One big plus for this resort is how they treat animals! We were so happy to see how people there are so nice with strays,for that RESPECT.
