I spent a week here with my husband and 2 kids and would definitely go back. The staff were really helpful and friendly.
They were waiting when we arrived to carry our cases from the bus right to our room, even though it was 03.30 in the morning. We were hassled a little by the bloke wanting us to have a massage but after he realised we weren't interested he left us alone.
The rooms were basic and the air con was useless but we hired 2 fans which cost £10 each for the week. The rooms were cleaned and bedding changed often and on
the last day the bedding and towels were made into a boat and decorated with flowers.
There was activities through the day and entertainment on a night suitable for adults and kids. All entertainment finished at reasonable time so it wasn’t noisy on a night.
The hotel restaurant was reasonably priced and the food was ok you can pay to upgrade to half board it worked out much cheaper if you eat in a lot which we did.
The big pool was a bit deep no shallow end but the was a fair size kids pool. Plenty sun beds to go round. There was a free bus to take you in to town which we used a few times.
We had a great time and would recommend this hotel to families, it has everything you need. The supermarket was a bit pricey but the free bus drops you off at Tesco and its much cheaper.

Myself, my boyfriend and my son aged 9 arrived 18th June at club Seray and loved it straight away. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Pool was clean and spacious, rooms were clean. Good shows every night and with Oscar and Sergio adults and children have good fun.
During the day there’s pool competitions and water polo to keep everyone happy. We ate most days at hotel as it was cheap and nice.
Bar staff can’t do enough to help you. The dolmus took you for almost nothing and where ever in Marmaris you wanted to go.
My son and I had a small medical problem and a doctor came in 5 minutes to see us and sorted it I was very impressed.
At night the music ended around 12 and we had a room near the bar and pool and we had no worries with noise.
Weather was amazing over 50 for a few days. If we go back to turkey we 100% will stay at club Seray again and would highly recommend it.

Hotel situated at the top of a steep bank, says not suitable for those with walking difficulties! Not suitable for anyone but very young and in tip top health.
I am fairly fit 62 but found it killing in the heat, especially if you want to explore the area and not spend 14 days in hotel, therefore doing the climb (about 45 degrees) twice a day.
Apartment well equipped with toaster, kettle, bath etc but beds rock hard, to give manager his due, he showed us several other rooms and they were all the same, sofa bed covers in lounge very grubby, state you would expect at the end of the season and as this was only second week of season. I presume they were not cleaned at the end of last season.
Rest of apartment clean and looked after by cleaner who definitely wants her tip as she leaves you a note with her name, but flowers left with towels numerous times. Water always very hot welcome to us but could be scalding for children. If you have room at front you get a view but also get the constant noise
Now for the children!
If you are mature and want to relax on holiday do not go to a family based hotel. The children here were out of control and ran up and down corridors slamming doors, sending lifts to all floors as a laugh. Even playing football in apartments and this is up to and after midnight.
Poor staff tried to occupy them and exert some control but obviously didn't want to upset parents.
Some families were even given warnings of eviction. I am ashamed of the behaviour of British parents who do not seem to care where their children are or who they are disturbing as long as they can sunbathe and booze without being bothered by them.
These facts are surprising as the big news before we left England was the abduction of a toddler on holiday. No I am not a child hater, I had three of my own and have a grandchild, and I know children are boisterous and noisy.
After 10 holidays in Turkey this is the first time we have asked to be moved to other apartments, but after learning that Thomson wanted another £200 to £300 for the privilege we took it out for another 10 days, and spent the money on trips to get away.
This hotel is great if you have children and don't want to move out of the hotel for 14 days, it has pool, children’s pool, games, bingo, films and so so food, very helpful staff(although not pleased with us because we went out), but otherwise steer clear.
Good hotel shame about hill and kids.

Girlfriend and I just came back today after a week spent at the Seray Forrest. I have to say that the staff are friendly and helpful, the place is clean and organised, the entertainment is good and the food is good too.
It is a very good resort for the price. The only remarks were for the over-zealous Turkish massage salesman, who hassled my girlfriend for 4 days and went away angry with her because she wouldn't have the massage.
The disappointing thing about this holiday is surely not the hotel. It's the constant hassling from the shopkeepers and the barmen in every place. It's stressing and overwhelming. The prices that the British tourists are charged are ridiculous. £4 for a can of coke is a joke.
The beach is only 10-feet long and made of pebbles. No sand on sight. The sea is not exceptional, and here the swimming pool in the Seray Forrest comes handy, as it's very nice, clean and big enough. Icmeler is far superior in any way.

The hotel was wicked, staff were great and friendly, weather was scorching hot. I really enjoyed it. The staff look after the kids excellently.
Would go back again, I advise anyone of all ages to go there.
There was a courtesy bus to get you down to the town centre of Marmaris. Which was run every night and day.
The restaurant was lovely, the food from the restaurant was delicious.

I stayed at Club Seray last year when I went to turkey and I think it was the best holiday I have ever been on. I was there with my mum sister and my niece who was only one at the time and even she still goes on about it al the people that work there are the most friendly people that you would ever meet I would go back to turkey any day and if I did go back I would try and get the same apartments to stay in so come on club seray
PS If you have never been I’m telling you to go there.

My family and I stayed at these apartments for 2 weeks this August and they were really lovely. Staff were friendly and polite and all spoke very good English.
We ate out most nights, Mustis Bar and Le Kebab were 2 excellent and memorable restaurants. Mustis for good food and fun for the kids, Le Kebab for authentic Turkish cuisine and beautiful ambience.
Booked all our excursions with Tommy and Katie at Nostradamus, opposite Mustis Bar and the Bus depot. Very good value for money and thoroughly enjoyed all our days out. The kids went free for everything and my husband and I paid a very reasonable price for ourselves.
Preferred Icmeler and Turunc beaches to Marmaris, less 'chavs' and hassle from over zealous locals!
All in all, whole family loved Turkey and would definitely return.

I am just back from Club Seray forest today! And I had a fantastic time! Everything about this hotel as well as the country is out of this world! I went with my boyfriend but I think its is ideal for the younger crowd, as well as families and couples!
The weather was great, sunny every day wit not a cloud 2 be seen in the sky! The pool was great for a little cool down.
The hotel has its own entertainment team that have many different fun activities on all day, such as water polo, adult football, bingo, kids club and every night their is a show, such as a magic show, comedy show, Turkish night, break dancing shows, snake shows, you name it they have it! Really does have something for everyone!
Also in the hotel complex there is a souvenir shop, a tattoo shop (heard and seen really good work of him), a market, a clothes shop, Turkish bath facilities including sauna, a gym, a games room, a barber/beautician shop!
They also offer a new half board option, and you can pick and choose the days you want to eat there!
The staff where all brilliant, so friendly and helpful in everyway, and would always go out of their way tot ensure you quality! Even the maid service, our maid was great and often made different things e.g. a boat or fan from r bed linen! And left our rooms spotless, even tidied bits of my suitcase, as I had it all over the place!
The resort itself is brilliant, although the hotel is at the back of Marmaris itself, its a 100yard walk down a bit of hill to a little supermarket, where there is little buses that will take you to any where you want to go for just 1 Turkish lira (which is about 30-40p) you jus have to wave them down and hop in and shout stop when you want off! There great!
There is loads to do, from Turkish baths, Turkish nights, water park, boat trips, scuba diving for beginner and professionals, jeep safari's big market which is great if you can haggle as you can get any thing for next to nothing! And many, many more! Many, many restaurants and bars (you are really spoilt for choice) the food is great! If you like a steak houses, then Natalie’s is a must, its is fantastic! And for a kebab you simply must try pretty a manager, they where jus out of this world!
Bar street is the night life of Marmaris, it is one street filled with bars and clubs, the Highend night club I think was the best we had such a good night there!
This has to be the best holiday I have ever been on, I would thoroughly recommend the resort and the hotel! I would definitely go back next year.

What a wonderful hotel this was our first holiday abroad and what a wonderful time we had went to the travel agent on Tuesday and flew out Thursday arrived at hotel at 12.30am tired but there was plenty of help to register and take your bags to your room.
Although this hotel is a little way out of town it couldn’t be faulted, rooms were spacious and clean with a wonderful shower views over the pool and down into Marmaris. A breathtaking trip into town cost 1 lira one way and took 10 min on the local dolmus, which would stop anywhere you wanted.
Didn’t personally like Marmaris sea front but ok if you like being hassled to go into restaurants but with good food on offer at the hotel was not a problem both my kids aged 14 and 9 were never out of the pool but if you were shorter than 5"5 be careful, as it is deep. Entertainment was fair and finished at 10.30 but music was played until midnight arrived home and already looking at next year.
Forgot to say getting sun beds not a problem all week enough beds for all guests they said just be early if you want shade.

My husband and I are just back from a week at Club Seray Forest. It was fantastic. We booked last minute and were delighted with the deal. We arrived at 2am and there were plenty of staff on hand to help with luggage and we were made to feel very welcome.
All of the facilities were great considering the deal we got. We were a bit out of the town, however we never waited more than 5 minutes for the local dolmus which took you straight to the centre for 1 lira.
We were self catering and ate in Marmaris most of the time, although we had dinner in the hotel twice and we had no complaints.
The only complaint we had when we arrived was the view from our room as it faced to the back of the hotel and had no view. The next morning we asked if there was a possibility of changing rooms and we were given a room overlooking the front area and pool. This was no problem form the reception staff and they were always ready to help. The entertainment was good and had something for everyone.
On our last day we went on the Dalyan checkout excursion as we had a late flight - I would highly recommend this. We went to mud baths, rock tombs and Turtle beach. Our luggage is on the bus and then we are given a room at a hotel near the airport where we are given dinner and can get ready for our flight without the 90 minute journey to the airport.
All in all a fantastic holiday.

We were moved to Seray Forest after a hellish night at Portobello Apts and could not believe the difference.
We were greeted really friendly and asked which floor and which room we would like. We were given room 103 and were told if it wasn’t where we wanted to come and take another key. The room was fantastic, overlooking the pool area. The location was up towards the back of the resort up a steep hill but the hotel provide a courtesy bus running about 5 times a day to the centre.
The supermarket and bar/restaurant use a club cash card which basically means you pay at reception to put credit on a swipe card which is ideal as you wont have to dry out your soggy notes at the side of the pool when you forget to empty your pockets and jump in the pool.
At the pool there are enough beds for everybody and reserving beds with towels is just not an issue. The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful and try to get people involved in activities but are not pushy or annoying.
I would definitely bring my family back here and would recommend to anyone . Also the air conditioning at £4 a day is a bargain compared to most places. The rooms are really big and the maids keep the place spotless with their daily visits.

My husband & I had a great time at the Club Seray Forest. The staff were so friendly & helpful.
Good entertainment in the evening especially ideal for families, the children are well catered for.
Club Seray is just in the right place for peace and quiet but close enough to Marmaris to enjoy the night life & the little buses run constantly, so no problem getting there, as it is on a hillside the views are great.
We highly recommend a holiday at this establishment.
