Seashell Vega

We stayed at Seashell Vega in Side for a full week and had a wonderful time overall. Food & Drinks: The food was consistently tasty, fresh, and offered a nice mix of European and traditional Turkish dishes. The main restaurant meals, while slightly repetitive, were always delicious. Like in most Turkish all-inclusive resorts, the cakes looked beautiful but lacked strong flavor. However, the Turkish desserts (baklava, kataif, etc.) were outstanding, I couldn’t stop eating them! The pool bar burgers deserve a special mention, surprisingly excellent. The beach bar had pasta dishes, waffles, fruit, and ice cream, and the drinks (from all the bars) were always made properly. Entertainment & Atmosphere: The entertainment team did a fantastic job. Each evening we enjoyed shows with professional dancers or singers, and during the day, there were fun activities like boccia and beach volleyball. A special thank you to Baran, the animator, who really stood out, he was engaging, attentive, and made our stay extra enjoyable. The hotel itself is on the smaller side, but it never felt crowded, even though it seemed fully booked. Many guests spent their day at the beach while others stayed by the pool, which kept both areas pleasant and spacious. In the evenings, there were always enough seats in the main restaurant and at the entertainment arena near the stage. Beach & Facilities: The beach was clean, spacious, and had plenty of sunbeds both in the sun and shade. The sea was clear, and the sand was soft. The beach shuttle ran every 10–15 minutes (air-conditioned, fun Turkish music, and cheerful drivers), making the 5-minute trip to the beach super easy. At the beach, there was also a coffee bar with hot and iced coffee, tea, slushies, and soft drinks. Inside the hotel, there are small shops selling souvenirs, snacks, cigarettes, and even replicas of famous brands (clothing, bags, sunglasses, and jewelry). The spa offers a hammam included in the price, but extra treatments like massages come at an additional (and rather steep) cost, and the staff member promoting them was not the most pleasant. On the other hand, the barber was fantastic, he trimmed my husband’s beard (a free prize from a bingo night!) and did a great job. Rooms & Service: Our room was spacious (even though we booked the smaller option), cleaned daily, and the minibar was refilled every day with soft drinks and beer. The AC worked perfectly. The only downside was a recurring sewage smell in the bathroom, and based on other reviews, this seems to be a common issue. Otherwise, the staff were all incredibly warm, welcoming, and smiley, which made a big difference. Also, the hotel cats roaming around were the cutest companions! Overall: Seashell Vega offers great food, lovely entertainment, a beautiful beach, and genuinely warm service. The cozy size of the hotel actually makes it feel more personal without being overcrowded.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful! Everything was extremely clean and well maintained, and the staff were very kind and helpful. A special thanks to Aly, who was incredibly attentive and professional – she really made our stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will gladly come back!
