TUIブルーパームガーデン(Tui Blue Palm Garden)

My wife and I stayed at the Palm garden for a 7 day break and after reading the reviews we expected a few imperfections. How wrong we were, this is a first class hotel with friendly staff always happy to please. The food is of an excellent quality with kids having there own eating area and menu. The pool is vast and the kids area equal to the adults area with slides and pools with its own small adult area. Well planned and delivered events and a shingle beach, so you need your flip flops or water shoes. There are a couple of inflatables on the shore which offer older generations a bit of fun. The bar staff are attentive and friendly serving drinks.

So the bad bits ,why are the Germans just so rude with queuing ,even pushing in front of other Germans lol there is plenty of food . Forget about the evening dress code it does not exist sports wear and bikini tops welcome . So now the great bits , the staff are just so polite every were and i really cant fault the service . From the moment you check in to when you leave they are just so helpfull . Hotel is super clean ,grounds are well kept and pool area is swept and washed every morning . The bins are cleaned at least one a day and litter patrol is out picking up after the occasional lazy hotel guest . Pool is super relaxed with just the aqua exercise music for about 20 mins so no dramas. Restaurant is super clean ,food is fresh and varied every day , coffee and tea station in there so great for breakfast . Again any mess is cleaned up super quick . No panics for sun beds and they are plenty with lots of cover . Beach is just a 30 second walk from the lower bar and snack area . Again lots of cover down there too . Plenty of ice cream for the kids . NOTE , drinks are a bit samey at the bar and a few more offerings for adults would be great . If you go off the all inclusive its a bit on the steep side so be aware .

What can I say, from start to finish Palm Gardens exceeded my expectations. We arrived early hours of morning, given tea on arrival and even offered food at 3am in the morning. Check in was 5 minutes sat down with our tea, explained location of things and given a map, taken to our room with luggage on a golf buggy. Room was a really good size and spotless. Throughout our stay tried all of the restaurants and not one of them disappointed. There is so much to do here you don’t even have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to. Just outside are a few shops, we even jumped on the bus, (stop is 1 minute up the road from hotel) 1 euro took us Manavgat bus station, we spent several hours here lots of shops, bars restaurants. Another day bus to Manavgat then into Side, if you don’t want to try buses taxi rank just outside hotel. Any questions please feel free to ask. Highly recommend Palm Gardens and just about to book to go back.

Upon arriving at the hotel, it was clear straight away that there was a great deal of pride taken in the surroundings. The gardens are very well cared for & are really beautiful. Our first impressions were being assisted by an excellent member of staff who transported us and our luggage to our room. It was late at night so we pretty much wanted to go to bed but we’re a little hungry. The member of staff took us to the main restaurant where we were provided with a selection of food despite it being after midnight. Our room was on the ground floor and was well appointed. We are a couple with a teenager, our room was a twin bed with a daybed type bed for our teenage son. The air conditioning was programmed a little warmer than we would have liked, so our first night was a little bit too warm affecting the quality of our sleep. The pillows softer than we prefer. We used the tui app to ask for firmer pillows and they were in our room the next day. We also asked for the air con to be turned down and the staff were happy to support this. I am not against the hotel setting a limit ad I believe this is well intentioned from a hotel who I believe truly are trying to limit their impact on the environment. Bottled water is readily available, which was good to know that our teenage son was able to grab this from the fridges throughout the day. There are lots of recycling stations and these are well used. I did not see any litter in the grounds at all. We arrived the week before the UK half term and it was clear that the hotel was not at full capacity. Despite this there was still an excellent range of food and entertainment on offer. Our son spent time with the teens activity coordinator who was really friendly and was instrumental in helping the limited number of teens who were here all get on together. The tui rep and guides are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are available everyday so this was really good to know. We booked a trip to a local hammam through the rep and this all went to plan. There were a few of the shows that appealed to us whilst we were here. They were all really enjoyable for all ages. A lot of the other guests had small children and from what I can tell the facilities for them were excellent. It is my opinion that this hotel would be more suited to children with young families, but this is likely to be because we visited in school term time. Had we arrived during half term I think the activities and entertainment would have been aimed at school age children. There were some live music shows, we only went to one it was very good. It was poorly attended which is probably because a lot of the guests were here with young children. The main restaurant, purple turtle beach and main bar all had excellent quality food and drinks. The service of the staff in the main restaurant could not be faulted in my opinion. The children’s food station really is a great feature and another reason why I think this is a fantastic hotel

The reviews are true! Overall the best family hotel we’ve stayed in so far. Food and drink quality is 5 star. The grounds and gardens are absolutely stunning, the gardeners clearly work so hard. Staff are friendly, the kids loved kids club and were happy to go in each day! The house wines were delicious, coffee was great. Rooms were spacious and clean. The app worked great and there’s lots to do in the day for adults too if you want to be active. The gym is nice and if you like running it’s lovely first thing to run round the paths!

Excellent welcome on our arrival by Dila, who was most helpful throughout our holiday ,she made us feel very welcome, along with the Welcome Bar team Yilmaz and Bedirhan. Who were friendly, efficient . We were escorted to our room by buggy along with our luggage. Albeit the restaurant had closed we were offered hot food, but we were not really hungry so declined, anyway there are several things available in fridges all night ie sandwiches, fresh fruit etc. The hotel staff are a credit from the cleaners, to the bar and restaurant / reception . The gardeners work hard to keep the place looking so beautiful. Palm Garden is very friendly, immaculately clean. The food and drink are vary varied, good quality ingredients etc. Even a fussy eater would approve. Entertainment team we did not get involved with, did not see them much around the pool encouraging joining in but this did not bother us .. think if could have been due to the fact the majority of the guests were German. There was a great trio of musicians playing and singing on the beach daily which was very pleasant. Some of the lovely staff I feel we should mention , and hopefully they will get some recognition of their wok. Gorkhem, Yilmaz Bedirhan, Dila , Alyton , Mehmet Ozdemir. Alytun and so many more you all do a fantastic job. Only problem I could foresee would be in high season difficulty in getting a seat in bar area in the evening and sun beds in the day.

Absolutely amazing place the food, staff, drinks just everything It was our first time in years to turkey and this hotel and everything about it did not disappoint. Everywhere was spotless the rooms were lovely and it was so chilled. The reviews speak for themselves. There's not alot nearby some shops a huge one directly over the road but if you don't want to go out you don't need to! We will be back as soon as possible! Oh and the transfer took approx 1 hour there as we had no drop offs but 2 on the back as we had pick ups, the hotel makes it worth it tho. We took lira to give out as tips but next time I think I would just take euros....no one expected tips but all the staff deserved them they worked so hard. Nicest place we've stayed by far.

Fantastic hotel, plenty to do for the adults as well. The food is fantastic and the rooms very comfortable. We stayed here for our honeymoon as a last minute get away and really enjoyed.It has a good location with plenty of local shops as well. The TUI rep was fantastic as well.

Recently spent two weeks at TUI Blue Palm Garden in Manavgat, Turkey. Was greeted every morning at 8 am by Gulizar our wonderful Yoga Teacher. Gulizar went above and beyond with the lessons and advice. Gulizar has given me the inspiration to carry on with Yoga now I have returned home to the UK. Thank you so so much 🙏
