TUI BLUE Atlantic Palace

Cannot fault anything about our trip! The TUI staff within the hotel were always there to answer questions or book things. The evening entertainment in the hotel was great with various quizzes, games nights and music. Not as central to Sorrento as some hotels, but the regular shuttle bus the hotel operates is very regular and convenient. Sorrento is walkable, but very little pavement on that road so may not be appealing to some. Worth checking out the Roman bath/lido which is just a short walk up the hill and then down a path... lovely views of Vesuvius from there too. The hotel is well equipped and offers many lovely places to relax in the sun or have a drink.... al fresco lunches in the lemon garden are so idyllic. Dinner is held either in the al fresco area or main dining room. There is a pool bar and then the main bar. always having an amazing choice on offer. Having the lemon tree garden as an additional area to laze in the sun is stunning. The garden has a dozen bunnies running loose being as bunnies should... such time wasters 😊 So a lovey area If you want quieter time than just laying around the pool... if you do get warm in the garden though, there are a few jacuzzis to cool the skin down without having to leave the garden to get to the main pool. The real thing that makes any holiday, other than the beauty (and sun) though are the staff.... and the staff in this hotel are amazing. The “maitre d” Pino is an amazing character. So warm and personal... gives that little bit more during dining times, along with his assistant Liberto. Flora and all her team are amazing in the bar, can never do too much for you. We really found that if you take the time to engage a little more with any of these amazing staff, no matter what area they work in, you have an even more special time back... amazing laughs over our seven days with waiters and bar staff in particular. Add the history and views - and you have an amazing holiday so can’t recommend it enough. Will we be going back - hell yeah!! Booked an 11 night stay for next June... the extra few days should allow more downtime in between visiting this fantastic part of Italy.

Visited with my husband for one week. Room was clean and comfortable. Food was excellent for all inclusive. Had waiter service in the evening most nights and there was a good choice, always well cooked. We tried not to overeat but we’re not successful!! Pool area nice but liked the grassed area better as it was easier to get some shade. Enjoyed swimming in to pool even though it was a bit cool!! Evening entertainment was usually good but by the end of the week we got fed up of the same songs being sung by all the different groups etc. You would think out of all the songs in the world they could sing some different ones!!?? We enjoyed the walking tour of sorrento with Josh. Helped us get our bearings. Bit disappointed when only one other person turned up at the yoga class and the cooking class which I was really looking forward to was cancelled as only 4 booked ( they should have still done it!) we went to Pompeii on organised tour which was fantastic and made our own way to Capri which is beautiful but very expensive. On the whole we had a lovely time here. The hotel staff were all very friendly. Would definitely stay here again

This hotel is a bit out of the way, un in the hills - a shuttle bus is provided to take you into Sorrento - but the views make it worthwhile. We were all-inclusive which was very good value for money, particularly as there was a good choice of wines at dinner - and cocktails were included. Breakfast was a good choice at the start but when a large party descended, things changed - only one prepacked honey instead of three in jars, no freshly squeezed orange juice to hand, but maybe that’s me being picky. However, if you asked, staff obliged - I think it was because the large party were not all-inclusive. The a la carte menu at dinner was better than the buffet - one advantage pf the large party being present was that we had this every night - the buffet only twice. Waiting staff were fab - and they remembered I was vegetarian even if they didn’t always understand that this meant I don’t eat fish or meat stock. Lunch was also good but we only ate there once as we were out and about. We found the bar staff a bit lazy though - they stood around chatting most of the time. It was the last week of the season and it was as though they were demob happy. The same went for the facilities - gym, yoga (not)...if you’re interested in a hotel which provides a good range of fitness activities, look elsewhere especially if not in high season. On the last day, I found a yoga studio in town, having spent the week practicing on my mat in my room! Hotel room - we requested a quiet room so were in the annexe. While we didn’t hear the bar entertainment etc, the walls were thin and you could hear the TV next door and a chair scraped across the floor was annoying. If the hotel were busy, this might be a but if a problem. However, it was spacious, clean with a nice decor. We had a view towards Mount Vesuvius which was lovely. Other reviewers have mentioned the flies - yea, there were a few but it wasn’t limited to the hotel.
