The hotel building itself I have no complaints about, it was well kept and spotlessly clean. The staff all pleasant and helpful, the pool area is lovely and gardens well maintained. Entertainment reasonable, some very good, some average. The room ( with pool & sea view) was spacious, and cleaned to high standards. If you dont get partial sea view at least, then you will be front facing and over looking a busy road, with The Greasy Spoon "Restaurant" opposite lol. AL option meant drinks included, but I do feel that these were well watered down... I mean how many G&T's would you drink at home, certainly not 6 or 7 without being on your back!! Same went for cocktails, while pleasant and made in front of you, they still didn't pack a punch. I think if you were paying for your drinks on a as you basis you might get better value. The beach bar is lovely, very relaxing with a lovely view but I couldn't really understand why there was very few people there, (we we're the only ones on at least 7 nights, early evening, 6ish) it was a go to for us straight from pool for a cocktail or Gin before heading up to the room to shower & change. Quite why it isn't more popular is beyond me... at least here the Gin tasted like it had Gin in it (now I sound like an alcoholic) I'm not, but I do like to feel I'm having a drink all the same! The buffet restaurant is good, staff again lovely and cleanliness top notch, first impressions are WOW, loads to choice from & ample, however, nothing is particularly hot and sadly, some dishes despite its display, tasted relatively bland. I discovered a microwave third night which helped with one of these issues at least. Display of food is lovely , plentiful and really good choice, but sadly lacking flavour. However, I did manage to eat every night but would have liked something that got my taste buds alive. Day time there is a really nice pool bar, again, spotlessly clean with a selected menu. Staff all pleasant and polite. Great service. The pools are lovely, the sea this time of year was very cold but I do like to swim of a morning before breakfast and this certainly helped blow away any cobwebs. The hotel is well situated, with a walk along prom in either direction. We walked to Old Town Marmaris which is beautiful with an old castle (small) and cobbles streets and a harbour full of private yachts. Very up market as were the restaurants. This place has a much nicer vibe and you could see the difference in clientele. In the other direction, we walked to Icemar but once there, didnt feel we were missing out on much. The TUI Blue is surrounded by ample bars (some tacky!!), and restaurants. If you prefer to eat out then you should find something suitable. The prom is busy and you have plenty of bars with entertainment. I would possibly return to the hotel at a push, but perhaps not stay AL. (Although this area of Marmaris didn't quite hit the spot, Old Town did!!) Hope the review helps.
