Barut B Suites

When arrived we were welcomed with cold water and soft drinks in the fridge, which was a must after the long travel!!! The Junior Suite, where we were had spacious living room, big bedroom, large enough kitchen (fridge, stove, cupboards with cutlery and glasses). Two very comfortable air conditioners. The bathroom - with very big shower. In the bedroom large wardrobe. Slide doors between living room /with TV/ and bedroom. Another extra was the free safe-deposit box, in all hotels where we were, they were payed! The convenient balcony with little table and chairs had charming swimming pool view . The Suite was daily cleaned. Extras like slippers, beach towels and beach bag is just an extra touch. Good, free WiFi in the rooms. We were all inclusive, the food was great, super tasty meals, lots to choose from. Do not miss to try the wonderful Turkish desserts! The chefs were always walking around the restaurant checking the food. The free A la cart restaurant was brilliant and we had a really good evening, lovely food and very friendly staff. Bar staff, at the hotel and on the beach were very helpful. Long, nice sandy beach.Really good and the most important is clean. No problem with free sun beds, we particularly enjoyed the fact that you didn’t have to rush for sun beds as there were lots.Beach distance: about 5 minutes walking. The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. I had a problem with connecting my laptop to the WiFi and they solved it immediately! They spoke English, German and Russian. The hotel must be ranked as 5 stars, not 4! We would definitely return to Barut B

We booked this holiday for my mums 70th birthday and the whole week was amazing. The only let down we had was not the hotels fault but with TUI due to us booking self catering we were provided no information about the local area, an upon speaking to people everything kept tying us to the hotel which when your the sort of people that like to go and explore didn’t help. So I paid an extra £500 for an all inclusive upgrade which I would not have needed if TUI had told us the information and the name of the shopping centre and places to guide. This got miss communicated by a member of hotel staff whom gave us directions the wrong way out the hotel so we were under the impression the place we wanted to get to was too far to walk. I until our night of departure and our coach parked outside one of the restaurants my mum wanted to go too in a 2 min drive realising we was only round the corner was upsetting. But overall the holiday was hot, relaxing peaceful thank you too all the staff

We are staying here currently and as a hotel it is faultless for room size and standard. AC and safe included in the price. The hotel is really clean in all area including the pool. Plenty of sunbeds so no having to get up at silly o clock! Very few brits staying here more Russian, Scandinavians and Germans, which was not an issue for us. Staff are helpful. Beach towels are provided as too a beach bag. There is a spa and fitness suite. The hotel shop seemed well stocked,if not over priced but this seems to be the usual for convenience. We came un stuck opting for SC as the local area is predominantly set up for AI with dozens of AI hotels, so there are very few local good places to eat for lunch and dinner. It is not as cheap as Turkey used to be either and I don’t know if this is the resort or reflective as Turkey as a whole, as friends who had been to other resorts had led me to believe food and drink was much cheaper than it is here. We have opted for jumping in the dolomus ( 12 TL for 3 one way catch at the top of the road) to go into the main Side area for our evening meal where there is much more choice of restaurant and local turkish places to try. The dolomus runs until around midnight to return back. A taxi to side is 14 € one way. Back to Barut suites it looks like AI or at least HB is the way to go if you stay here. To upgrade on arrival seems expensive breakfast is 13€ each and dinner is €38. So really good, but I would not opt for SC option again!
