TUI BLUE Grand Azur

We arrived at the hotel at 130am we were temp scanned coming into the hotel 👍 we were checked in super quick and were given a form to fill in regards Covid. We were given a sandwich to eat and coffee while we were doing this. I have to say I felt safer in this hotel regards Covid than I did at home. Masks are worn as soon as you move around the hotel and when you get food and drinks. You have to use the app to book your meals but to be honest it takes 2 seconds, you can book 15mins before you go or you can book the day before. Great to stop overcrowding another plus. The food is fabulous every meal was lovely, a huge selection and I have to say I actually prefer the way it’s been done less of a dinner hall feel and so much less waste from greedy people (you all know the ones) I have to make special mention to Omar what an asset to your hotel he definitely made my mums holiday he was so attentive and knew what we liked to drink from the 2nd day. We liked the snack bar for lunch the food in there was gorgeous and the manager sorry didn’t get his name I just know him as nice to see you see you nice was lovely too. The fish goujons are to die for, my mum loved the fresh pasta different kinds every day. We booked the levante restaurant as soon as we got here and I have to say we are glad we did it was lovely and what a view from our table and again staff amazing and so funny. In fact I can’t fault any of the staff they were all super smiley and lovely and so polite. Pool are is lovely and the lazy river is an absolute bonus. Loads of lilos and pool things at side that can be used(great idea) Gorgeous grounds my mum loves her garden and she was well impressed. Rooms are very spacious and cleaned to a very good standard, felt though that when you are 5* all inclusive a mini bar should have been included as is in every other hotel of same standard I have been too(beer, wine, water and snacks) Private beach short walk from back of hotel and this has a beach bar. Would bring wee shoes for going in the sea very Stoney. Lovely to sit here and watch the sun set. My only slight gripe with the hotel is the drinks menu and the lack of cocktails. I am not a big drinker but I am partial to a cocktail or 2 on my holidays 😊 also I think the pool area could do with some music 🎵 All in all a fabulous hotel we will be booking to come back as soon as we can ❤️ my mum has been converted to Turkey 🇹🇷 so well done everyone. Sitting at the pool writing this on my last day 😢if you are thinking of coming here just do it you definitely won’t regret it we have loved every second of our break.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, would 100% recommend to everyone. Suitable for kids, couples, groups of friends. Since turkey was the main country you could visit during COVID there was a good mix of people. The Turkish people are most likely the nicest people I have met. Would definitely come back here. As for the hotel; -Staff were so friendly especially aydin in the restaurant who never left us without a drink, made our stay so much more enjoyable! Also gulten in the main bar is such a lovely lady. They really seem as though they are happy to see you. - Good range of continental dishes in the restaurant. Something different on each night and rotates. Beef, mash, chips, chicken, salads, starters, Dessert, fruit, pretty much everything. - there is a bunch of friendly cats that live in the hotel, I even had one jump up and lay on me for an evening!! - Rooms cleaned and towels changed every day. - Bedroom is modern, spacious. Queen bed is massive, rainfall shower is lovely. - Evening entertainment is great for something to do at the start of the night. The best were the Acrobats, bartender act and dancers. - Location is great, restaurants and bars 10 minute walk from hotel. Marina is too far to walk but taxis are only 10 min drive and about 20 TL. - Hotel nice and quiet but not far from the action. - Spa - AMAZING..had a Turkish massage and it was so worth it. The girl who did it was so nice and made the experience even better. Do this on your first or second day, it includes a body scrub which helped me get a better long lasting tan. - Do the dune buggy mud driving! Best activity we have ever done and only £20 per buggy. Book from mustafa about 10 minutes walk to the right of the hotel. We do have a few not negatives but improvements that we think would really make it 5 star. - Waiting staff for the bar seating area don’t really pay attention to you so you have to queue to get every drink, although we didn’t mind too much. - Lunch menu at pool bar for in between meal times (as the restaurant is only open at set hours) doesn’t have a good range, some salads and small snacks would be great if added! - Too many bands of the same genre during the week, a better variety would be good. - Never got to eat at levante because we couldn’t get a table as it’s so busy, recommend booking as soon as you get there. - No music played by the pool during the day, only from one speaker at a corner of the pool. Would be a real mood booster but I suppose some people prefer it this way. - Very limited inclusive cocktail menu, only three main cocktails - dacquiri and sexy colada being the most popular but they all taste the same as they’re all lemon based drinks. Even one addition with a different flavour would be perfect as I understand it’s free. All in all really enjoyed our stay, these improvements are in no way discouraging as they are only minor. Book it you won’t regret it!!!
