My husband and I partially paid for a trip to Calabria, Italy through the TUI, but due to quarantine, we had to reorient ourselves to Turkey, which we have rested on many times and which we really like. Since we were tuned to the Aegean coast (although in Dalaman and the Mediterranean Sea! ), And we could only choose hotels from this tour operator, we began to read reviews about exclusive TUI hotels and immediately decided on TUI BLUE Tropical. For us, the main thing was a large green area, a large private beach, the first line. And of course all meals are included.
I will say right away that everything we wanted, we got. We arrived early in the morning, check-in from 15. But since we had health problems (not Covid! ), the staff found an opportunity to settle us at 10-30. By the way, before that we asked for a consultation with a hotel doctor and immediately received it. Fuat Torker, who speaks Russian, helped us a lot, as the doctor only knows Turkish. We asked for a quiet room, away from the pool and animation, we were given a standard room on the first floor in a very quiet place. The room is huge, with a balcony, which has a table with chairs and drying, which is important. There is an electric kettle in the room, and every day they bring coffee sticks and different tea bags, sometimes they drank in the evening. The only drawback of the room is poor soundproofing - when foreigners drove into the room above us at night, their screams and stomp were very audible! But this is more about the upbringing of vacationers, it was usually very quiet.
The territory, I repeat, is very large, green and unusually well-groomed, praise to the gardeners, we are simply delighted! Around the entire hotel there is an illuminated path, which is very pleasant to walk along after dinner. The same paths run throughout the territory, palm trees, bushes, buildings are beautifully illuminated. The only small minus is that there are no benches on them, but I would like to sit in a corner I like.

We did not use the SPA, but my husband went through 5 sessions of medical back massage, very much praises the massage therapist Kemal Acal.
The beach was perfect for us! Huge, half empty, and if you move a little to the side, then generally empty. One day we walked to the confluence of the river, about 1.5 km, almost did not meet anyone. The entrance to the water is normal, the pebbles at the edge are rather small, shoes were not needed. There is a fenced area, but everyone mostly swims nearby, without hustle. In general, there are few people on the beach, mostly sunbathing by the pool (this is with such and such a sea! ), First of all, foreigners (many Englishmen, there are Germans).
For nutrition. Plenty, tasty, quite varied. The previous review is detailed, I will not repeat.
The overall impression is excellent. We were without children, but we want to come with our grandson in the future, there is a lot of entertainment for the kids.
Rest were very satisfied. The staff is pleasant, always ready to help. A Russian-speaking girl Aziza worked at the reception, she was a charm, thanks a lot to her, she suggested a lot and helped.
Overall, the hotel feels very well managed.
