TUI MAGIC LIFE Masmavi

we had booked this holiday for a group of 6 , using 3 rooms, arrived in the dark & were given our rooms. Morning came & we instantly realised that the rooms shown on the website were a thousand times better than the dark small dismal rooms we had. LUCKILY my brother in law is TURKISH so after two hours & two talks with the hotel owners & the TUI rep we were all moved to the rooms they show on the web pages , dont expect good rooms on arrival as there are few excellent rooms compared to the average ones & i could not find the upgraded rooms on a UK website & think they are reserved for other European countries !!! beware.

We went to tui magic life on 21 September 2019 for a week, myself, husband and 17 year old son. The hotel was very nice and the rooms very clean, air conditioned and spacious. The hotel was on the beach and the beach was lovely and Sandy. We had sunny weather apart from one day when it rained intermittently. There were plenty of swimming pools, the only issue with us was that they were very cold, so although they looked inviting once you paddled, I found them too cold. The only issue we had with the hotel was that the food wasn’t to our liking. There was plenty of choice but the restaurants seemed to cater to more Eastern European tastes, stews, casseroles, fish dishes. Not really options of chicken or meat. I enjoyed the holiday and the staff were very pleasant, not may British there mainly German or Easter European. The only issue was the food.

We travelled as a 3, my husband and a friend of ours, so we had a family room. 1. Room was large, air conditioning good and quiet. 2 Tv’s 2. Hotel is very large, we were in room 3109, over by spa, so quiet. Place was spotless both inside and grounds. 3. Loads of seating areas in evenings , shows good, illusionist was excellent 4. Coffee shop was large and coffees and cakes were yummy 5. Food was varied and good, always got a table even when busy 6. Staff were all friendly and polite, we did not have any rudeness 7. Pools were cold, but once you were in it was fine, 8. Beach was beautiful although it’s steps or slope down to it and our friend struggled with that. The sea was so warm, loads of beds. 9. Snack bar on beach was ok, pancakes and waffles were delicious, I think a pancake lady up around the pool would be good, I know they serve crepes but not the same. 10. I agree that there should be a top sheet,on bed as the cover is not large enough to cover 2 11. We will definitely be returning, as we paid under £700 for 14 nights!! And consider that a bargain for what we got 12. There is loads of exercise you can do, from spinning to aqua aerobics to volleyball, and there were six nets away from beach. My husband would point out that the porridge was not cooked, just oats floating in hot milk, and not enough milk puddings ever only chocolate ones occasionally, other hotels they are there all the time. Also when it was sushi this was not served on ice, and although I love sushi, I did not feel safe eating this.
