Tui Blue Palm Garden

2nd time at this fabulous hotel and we will be back. The food is amazing, the resort is kept so clean and the staff are absolutely lovely. We got a great welcome back from the manager and staff and all the kids club staff deserve a special mention. They work so hard to make sure the kids have fun. This was the 2nd year running our daughter took part in the evening show and she loved it! Special thanks go to Arda and Sevgi in the kids club for making her time so special.

We stayed at TUI Blue Palm Garden in April as a family of three generations, and overall had a fantastic experience. The food was without a doubt the highlight — the quality and variety exceeded our expectations. Every meal felt like a treat, and there was always something for everyone. The BBQ restaurant was a nice change of scene (though not a standout), while the à la carte restaurant was particularly impressive and well worth booking into. Despite a mixed forecast, the weather turned out better than expected, though not as warm as usual for the time of year. Of course, this is outside the hotel’s control and didn’t take away from our stay. The facilities were excellent — we enjoyed games of basketball, giant chess, and mini golf, which kept everyone engaged across all ages. The pool area was beautifully designed, but the water was unfortunately too cold for our kids to enjoy, which was a bit disappointing given the water slides were one of the main reasons we picked this resort. That said, the beach area more than made up for it — with a bar right nearby, cozy bean bags, and lots of comfortable seating. Swimming in the sea was a highlight for me on days when the red flag wasn’t up. We also took a day trip to Side, which was a lovely way to explore a bit of the region. The old town was great to wander through, and it was really easy to arrange — the hotel staff kindly organised a taxi for us that waited while we visited, making the whole outing stress-free. Based on other travellers’ recommendations, we also booked a private airport transfer, which cost £90 each way. It was definitely worth it — it saved us time and made the journey far more comfortable after a long travel day. Throughout our stay, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and our room was always spotlessly clean. Their attention to detail and welcoming attitude really added to the experience. We’d happily recommend this resort, especially for families looking for great food, excellent facilities, and a relaxed atmosphere.
