Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: Families should book the Family Suite: two connecting rooms set up to be child-safe, sleeping up to five. The Terrace Family Room, with two separate bedrooms for up to four, is the alternative. Couples who want the sea in view should choose the Deluxe Room Sea Side, or the Beach Room With Jacuzzi, a larger seaside room for two with its own jacuzzi. The Deluxe Garden View Room faces the gardens instead.

Reviews from Google“We had an absolutely amazing family holiday at Kamelya Collection Selin Hotel From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The resort is beautiful, with huge swimming pools that never felt overcrowded, giving everyone plenty of space to relax and have fun. The Kids Club deserves a special mention. The staff were incredibly professional, caring, and full of energy. Our children loved every activity, and it gave us the chance to truly unwind knowing they were in such safe hands. The beach is stunning, with soft sand and crystal-clear water—perfect for both children and adults. One of our favourite moments each day afternoon DJ performances, which created such a fun and vibrant atmosphere without being overwhelming. The à la carte restaurants were outstanding. Every meal was delicious, the service was excellent, and the variety of cuisines meant there was something for everyone. It really made our stay feel extra special. The entire team at Kamelya Collection Selin Hotel was warm, friendly, and always willing to help. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel welcome throughout our stay. If you're looking for the perfect family holiday with fantastic facilities, great entertainment, excellent food, and a beautiful beach, we couldn't recommend Kamelya Collection S Hotels more highly.”
“Absolutely amazing stay. Clean, entertaining, a lot to do just in the resort. Even better that you can spend time between 2 hotels and use their pool facilities. The entertainment was good, typical for resorts around Turkey. Food was good, variety every day and something different to choose from. Waiting staff were alright, typical that they pat more attention to the Russian guests but still were nice. Rooms were spacious and housekeeping was 10/10, nothing was too much for the same lady we had the whole week. Really sweet and so accommodating. Downside was that it as hard to find 2 empty sun loungers on the beach by 11am. Would definitely go back, amazing experience overall. Really family friendly and they have golden sand!! Local markets are about a 10 mins walk from the hotel but there is so much to see and explore, clothing, food, markets, fake designers, more or less everything. Definitely check it out if it’s in your budget!”
“Hotel is old, rooms are very used. We had to change room twice due to mold in shower. Playground for kids was painted over rust… They have a good evening program (except couple show) and parties. Definitely not 5* hotel level, needs reconstrunction and better level of service…”
“My stay at the Kamelya Collection Selin Hotel was absolutely exceptional. It's a beautiful place that delights with both its location and atmosphere. The hotel is very well-maintained, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and regularly cleaned. The staff deserves special recognition – professional, friendly, and always ready to help. The hotel offers plenty of attractions, making every day interesting and full of positive experiences. I would especially like to single out the bartender, Mustafa D. – always smiling, friendly and helpful. He provided excellent service to guests, with class and dedication, ensuring a wonderful atmosphere. People like Mustafa D. truly make this place special :)”
“We had a wonderful stay at Kamelya! Everything was excellent from start to finish. The resort grounds were beautiful and very well maintained, the pools were fantastic, and the staff were always friendly, professional, and helpful. The hotel is especially great for families with children. There were plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained throughout the day, and they had an amazing time during our stay. We also really enjoyed the evening atmosphere. The entertainment was fun and engaging, creating a lively and enjoyable environment for guests of all ages. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and felt very welcome throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to return in the future. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation so memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
