Selectum Family Resort Side

Hotel Highlights

• Ultra All Inclusive done properly – this 5-star whopper is stacked with food, drinks and enough facilities to keep the whole gang busy from brekkie right through to late-night cocktails.

• Pool days are absolutely popping off – there’s an Olympic outdoor pool, two mahoosive Lake Houses pools, an Aqua Zone pool, indoor pools and an aquapark packing 14 slides. Race you to the bottom.

• Beach mode: activated – the hotel sits right by its own sand-and-small-pebble beach, complete with a private pier for those top-tier Mediterranean views.

• Kiddos have basically won the holiday lottery – Puppies World Kids Club caters for tots through to teens, while the free lunapark comes with eight rides and the aquapark brings even more chaos of the good kind.

• Food choices for days – buffets, Turkish, Mexican, Italian and seafood à la cartes, gözleme, beach snacks, cakes and a restaurant serving around the clock. Your stretchy shorts have never been more relevant.
