So where do I start with rating Selene?
The first word that springs to mind is 'outstanding' and that I think sums up what I think about this hotel. We paid for a 5* experience, and boy that's what we got.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive. Taking our luggage to the rooms, reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The room we had was lovely, beautiful sea view to wake up to every morning. The rooms were kept very clean and tidy, even the little things of the towel animals added the touch of 'we care about your holiday'.
The facilities at the hotel were fantastic. The pool area was clean and very well maintained, plenty of sun lonugers for people to use. There's a bar there, a burger bar between 12 and 4, a snack bar that serves meals if you don't fancy going into the restaurant for lunch. There's a patisserie place that you can go and sample nice coffees, teas and various cakes from 1pm, they also do waffles and ice cream.
The restaurant itself was simply outstanding. Huge amount of choice for each meal, there's something for everyone. From the vast salad selection, to the hot choices, desserts and all the bits in between, you would struggle to find anything you didn't like. The theme nights were a huge success, Turkish night in particular was amazing, there were performers and drums and lots of traditional Turkish food to try, it was just amazing the show that they put on.
The staff in the restaurant were fantastic, very attentive, friendly and welcoming, I couldn't fault them at all.
The entertainment staff were equally as lovely, very friendly and encouraging, the evening entertainment was varied, being an adult only hotel, lots of parties, karaoke and acts coming in to perform for guests, really made the evenings very enjoyable.
We bought a spa package, this is located at the top of the building. Probably the best massages I have ever had, the lady I had knew within ten minutes that I was having issues with my lower back and neck, and that was just from the 'tester' massage. They were all outstanding, all incredibly friendly, the staff running the spa were equally as amazing and friendly. We also had access to the rooftop pool which had the most wonderful view around.
I have used the word outstanding a number of times, because to me, that is exactly what this hotel is, outstanding. Head and shoulders above the rest of the hotels that I have ever stayed at when visiting Turkey, the attention to details, the phenomenal list of cocktails you can have on the all inclusive menu, to the staff who just went above and beyond, it's made the holiday quite simply outstanding!
I will definitely be returning to the Selene Beach and Spa Resort, and I would urge anyone reading this review to do the same, I cannot recommend it enough, so go on, treat yourself.

It is a wonderful hotel, the staff, the service, the rooms. There is very little that you could complain about this hotel. The variety of food at every meal gives choice to all tastes.
The staff go out of their way to make your stay more enjoyable and relaxing

Wow, what can I say about this hotel? The food is amazing, with lots of choices. The Turkish night was beautiful. The snack bar had a few options, but it was worth it. Burgers, pizza, pasta dishes with chips were available. Drinks included bottles, glasses, cocktails, and slushies. Coffee and cakes are a must. It's a clean hotel with friendly staff. Will I return? 1000%! Even had the football on tv in the lobby bar
Staff couldn't do enough for you and they didn't expect tips

I stayed with my mother for 9 days in the end of october. We had a wonderful time in Selene. The hotel is really modern and has a lot to offer. The staff is great! They are all very young and speak well English and German.
Especially, Hüseyin from the restaurant is doing an amazing job! He was always helpful, friendly and made our stay wonderful! Big thanks to him!
Our room was big and really nice. The food was good. We really liked the varieties of meat. The drinks were delicious!
The gym was big enough and had a lot of equipment.
We can absolutely recommend staying in this hotel! You will not regret it!

We were going for a short holiday where we could just relax and not care about anything, and our experience was just that. The hotel provided us with delicious food and drinks that were always available to us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is very beautiful and clean. You'll not get bored in this hotel - a lot of entertainment (but not too much, you'd feel overwhelmed). We really enjoyed the evening schedule (especially the Latino band). The gym is really good for a hotel gym, we used it few times during our stay.
Few cons:
- alcohol quality was not the best (exceptional beer and wine) - vodka especially tasted really, really cheap.
- we felt that restaurant's staff was not that attentive to us (a young couple) compared to elderly people - the service they received was just much better, we felt as though we were invisible to the staff.
- the sea is not clean :( but I know it's not something the hotel can affect
