A great hotel that makes you want to come back.

We rested in Kamelya collection SELIN from May 23 to June 1.2021.
This is really a very decent hotel in Turkey in the Side area.
I want to pay attention, at the end of the review I will write my indignation about the Coral travel tour operator. Those who are going to go to this hotel, pay attention, because it is this tour operator that dominates here at the hotel. But more on that later.
So the hotel is really great. Firstly, a great beach: wide, sandy. The sea in May was the cleanest, a little cool, but even the children swam. Near the shore it is shallow for small children. But it is worth walking a few meters, as it deepens. On the beach there are a lot of sunbeds, awnings, "fungi" from the sun.
There is a large enough pool, there is also a small pool for small children with a slide.
We preferred the beach, because it makes no sense to go to the sea and swim in the pool. But mothers with small children hung out near the pools.

There is enough space for everyone.
The hotel positions itself as "ultra all inclusive". Yes, there is a late dinner from 00:00 to 2:30 and an early breakfast from 3:30 to 6:30. Haven't used it so I can't say. There are cafes by the pool and on the beach. Water, ayran, beer, juices, tea, coffee, burgers and hot dogs are free.
As far as food is concerned, it's enough. Lots of fish, vegetables, fresh salads. There are pasta, spaghetti, potatoes, two types of soups, chicken, turkey, cutlets, meat. Cheese, sweets, fruits. When we were, we mostly took watermelons. For some reason there were no strawberries even though the season.
Ala carte restaurants are open. Turkish is free, delicious, a lot of meat, local wine is poured, as for me, good. For fish you need to pay 10 euros per person, I also liked it. Very satisfying. For Mexican, Chinese and Italian you need to pay 5 euros.
The restaurant also offers local wine, champagne, beer for lunch and dinner. There are juices, tea and coffee.
Rooms at Celine are modern and spacious.
The bar has two juices, two beers, cola, fanta, sprite. There is mineral water, everything is replenished as needed.
There is also a kettle, tea and coffee in the room.
The lobby bar and bars also have both local and imported alcohol.
On the common territory there are three hotels at once - Selin, Fulia, Club. In Fulia there are water slides, there are pools everywhere. The Club has a large and beautiful territory, in general there is a lot of greenery. But when we were there, only Selin worked, then the Club was opened, Fulia was closed. Pandemic and a few guests, so they save. But there are a lot of people who want to relax here. In addition to us Ukrainians, there were Poles, Romanians, Croats, Lithuanians, Belarusians. Few Germans. There were no Russians, they were just banned from flying to Turkey.

As for Coral travel.
First time using this tour operator. Disgusting work by Coral travel and UIA.

We kept getting rescheduled. We flew to Turkey, changed the time three times. As a result of a night flight, early arrival.
The plane was packed, apparently, they connected all the flights that they could.
We arrived at the hotel at 6.30 in the morning, the settlement was around 14.00. Put your swimwear close and go straight to the beach, the only joy from such a flight. The hotel immediately fed, the hotel has no complaints.
Back instead of 15.00, the flight was moved to 7.30 in the morning! They just stole my paid night. Instead of 9 nights in the hotel, we will spend only 8 nights here. Since registration starts at 5.30, and it takes more than an hour to get to the airport. In fact, at the latest at 4 o'clock in the morning you have to be in the lobby of the hotel. Another night without sleep.
Without any explanations and apologies, put before the fact. This is a very dismissive attitude towards clients who have already paid you a lot of money. The company thought only of itself, it did not care about the tourists at all.
By the way, the operator was going to take us back to the airport through his shop, where we were supposed to buy sweets. Who decided that I need it?
At night, I hope they won’t be brought anywhere. Coral travel, I will never be your client again.
