Tui Blue Barut Andız - All Inclusive - Adults Only Reviews

This was our second visit to Barut Andiz and again we weren’t disappointed. All the other reviews say the same things as we experienced. This is a hotel you can trust. The real positives are: The staff - each and every one of them goes above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect stay. It would be unfair to single people out but Ergan the manager is always visible and chats to you and Halit makes excellent cocktails in the lobby bar. Our cleaner (Emine) ensured our room was spotless throughout our stay. The food - it is amazing and will ensure you come back overweight! So much variety and much cooked freshly as show food. Never any queues and always enough to go round. Service at the tables is good ensuring you have drinks and plates are cleared away quickly. Cleanliness - the hotel is spotless throughout, always being cleaned. Poolside is the same. There are a couple of house cats which make themselves at home so be prepared for that. They aren’t intrusive and keep themselves to themselves often bagging a sunbed! Our room (1242) was fantastic. I personally loved the jacuzzi on our spacious balcony. Plenty of space for clothes, with separate shower and toilet. Air conditioning was good and maintenance fixed things immediately if anything went wrong. Entertainment - Jimmy did a fab job organising events in the pool and there were daily fitness programmes you could take part in if you wished (no pressure). The evening entertainment was good with singing acts, quizzes and a silent disco but our favourite was the foam pool party. A great experience even for 50+ year olds! Sunbeds - no problem getting these even though there were some who got up early to bag their favourite spot. The hotel did warn against this and threatened to remove towels if they weren’t occupied for an hour. Pool towels are changed daily at the spa. Craig and Sarah, the reps, were always on hand if anything was not to your liking. We booked the adults only boat trip which was worth the extra money. A great trip with your own space on the boat, lovely food and swim stops. My wife and I would recommend this. There is so much to explore with Side about a 25 min walk away and lots of local shops to buy ‘fake’ goods. The sea was lovely and warm too. Our only gripe was the transfer time. On booking it said 1 hour but with all the stops on the way there it was 1.5 hours and on the way home it was 2 hours. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe something Tui need to look at. All in all another fabulous stay and yes, like most others, we will definitely return in the future.
