Seaden Corolla Hotel

During my trip I traveled alone with my toddler. We booked through TUI and was assured it was a family hotel which I would agree it’s good for families and kids. Before my trip I sent an email and asked if I could have a pool / beach view room because since I’m alone with a toddler who takes naps I wanted to still be able to sit outside and enjoy the view and weather while he was asleep instead of sitting in the dark room for 2 hours a day. I didn’t get a reply from my email so I decided to ask again upon arrival. I decided to check it out first and see how my room view was and pleasant isn’t the word I’d use to describe it.. (picture 3). My ‘mountain view’ room was the street in front of the hotel where the employees park and what looked to be a water heater and electrical equipment with large danger signs all over.. the mountain was not even in view and the noise from the street made it impossible to sit outside and have any sort of peace. Not to mention my patio was completely in the sun all day and with no shade you simply can’t be out there. I asked multiple times to switch rooms on the second day (we got there late the first night) and was told each time to either come back and ask later or that they were booked out. When I came back to speak with the manager (as directed) I explained why I wanted to be able to sit outside and enjoy time during my sons naps and he said ok and gave me a new room. I said I had to hurry and move so I had about 15 minutes to repack all my stuff and move it alone, with my toddler across the hotel but I didn’t care, I threw all my crap in the bag and managed. Our new room was much bigger and the view was perfect! The balcony was in the shade and it changed the entire experience immediately. It was also on the ground floor which was super nice so I didn’t have to drag the stroller up and down the elevator 20 times a day. We enjoyed our stay for the most part. Overall I was expecting a bit more (poor quality furniture / building and music blasting until late at night) but it was kept clean and the staff were all very friendly. There is also a bazar and mini - shop located in the hotel so you can grab anything you need quick right there which is nice. The beach is a 10 minute walk away and it’s not a super pleasant walk but the private beach area is really nice. It says you have to pay extra for beach chairs but I was never asked to. 🤷🏼‍♀️ the food was decent, it felt like it was basically the same thing every day and that lots were leftovers. You can also eat an an à la cart restaurant there once for free (Italian or Turkish food) and with a toddler I had to choose Italian. I’m very happy I didn’t pay for that meal because it was the same stuff they had upstairs in the buffet just with very small portions and long wait times.. the night before my flight I went to go ask what time the shuttle was coming to pick us up and the manager was in a hurry to help me. He printed out the paper for me then leaned in and said ‘I still haven’t gotten anything’ and obviously I looked confused. He repeated himself and so I said ‘what?’ And he continued to tell me about how I should be thankful (give him money) that he switched my room because normally they don’t do that and he didn’t have to but he wanted to me nice.. I didn’t know what to say because like ??? What…? I pretended not to understand him since he doesn’t speak English and German isn’t my native language (German IS the language spoken here) and was sort of appalled at the greediness and lack of respect overall that the manager of the hotel was mad I didn’t tip him for doing his literal job.. he got mad when I didn’t understand and rolled his eyes and told me to have a good night.. If I had planned on tipping him it would’ve been shut down after that regardless. Woah…

It's a total mess there, the food is not fresh(smells, taste and the quality is disappointing ) the rooms are old with broken furniture, floors, windows, doors that are not closing properly, that is definitely not a 4 stars hotel.
The 2 "a la carte restaurant "... the Italian is closed and the Ottoman restaurant i do not recommend the quality off the food is something that should not be found in a restaurant(the products are not fresh at all the starters are already arranged in plates for a couple of hours and lost already any kind of fresh taste the main course was overcooked -> burned, had a black burned side)
I do not recommend this place and i really do not know how this place is still running.

Hotel is good,it is 4 star hotel,there is 2 pools for adults and 2 for kids.The food is fresh and there is a big choice of different food.The staff is kind.Towels are changed every day,also the room can be cleaned every day.The hotel is the near dolmos and taxi station and many different stores in Kumkoy also the Carefour market.The bad thing about this hotel is the number of sunbads near the pool,there isn't enough for every guest.The other thing is the beach,it is 250m from the hotel,and this is far away for the families with small kids,especially because the shuttle bus,which drives only until 16h,when is the best time for the beach.Also when you come back from the beach the gate from the hotel is closed at 17.30 so you have to go round the hotel so the distance from the beach is longe..The worst thing is the grass in the sea at the beach of that hotel, which was terrible every day until our 12 days stay in that hotel. Beside grass is also big stone in the water,like some kind of stairs in the water.So sand in the water is only 1.5m at the entrance.The first good beach is near Maria bar on the right,when you look at the sea.
