TUI BLUE Barut Andiz

Stayed at Tui Barut Andız and honestly mate it was class! Manager Savaz was proper sund always checking in and making sure everything was good top guy. Big shout as well to İlyas, the Blue Guid what a lad Super positive, dead friendly felt like one of our pals by the end of it. Everything about the place was spot on, no complaints at all. We’ll 100% be back, no doubt about it

This is the most perfect place, Savas the manager is beyond pefect, as is every member of staff. We are going home tomorrow and are counting down the days for our return in October. Love you all our gorgeous turkish family xxx

We have just returned from an 11 night stay at the Barut Andiz, early April 2026. The hotel is immaculate and clean. We booked a swim up room and the room was excellent, well laid out, plenty wardrobe space and an excellent shower. The swim up area is excellent and the waiting staff regularly come round to take your drinks order as you sit by the swim up pool. All the staff were excellent, bar staff, dinning staff, front desk, aqua fit instructor (Miko), Management (Savas) and cleaning staff. Special mention to all the staff, Ismail, Mehmet, Mehmet Ali, Emir, Hasan, Nuri, Ufuk, Halit, sorry if we have missed anyone as the entire team were first class. The food and drink were excellent, plenty of choice and all of an excellent standard. We will definately be back.

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending 10 nights here in early April, and as it will be our last adults-only holiday for a while (a baby on the way!) this was total perfection. The location is brilliant, right next to the Barut Andiz private beach and about a 20 minute walk from Side old town. As there was plenty to do at the hotel during the day we can't comment too much about the old town, but we certainly heard the ruins are worth visiting! The hotel has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and vibe during the day, but becomes a bit more lively in the evening with all the entertainment (our personal favourite was the silent disco). My wife and I always book TUI Blue hotels as we always take full advantage of the daily activities (Bluefit, games, quizzes, etc). The Barut Andiz has lots of great daily activities like Mölkky, French boules, table tennis and darts but what I personally enjoyed the most was the Bluefit classes: yoga most mornings, aqua-gym most days, occasional pilates and other workouts. The Bluefit instructor - Miko - was great and made the classes even more enjoyable. I recommend anyone who reads this review to give some of his classes a go (especially the functional training or barbell workout)! We had the privilege of staying in one of the swim-up rooms, which was very nice and often pretty quiet (as you share the pool with about 10 other rooms). Having our own private loungers just outside our room next to the pool was a nice touch. Food is always an important part of any holiday for us and the food here was probably the best we ever experienced, especially the 'gala' night (try the sushi!) and 'taste of Türkiye' night. There is lots of choice of many different cuisines (for breakfast, lunch and dinner), so there is a little bit of something for everyone - I recommend trying the Turkish food! Likewise, the à la carte restaurants (Culinarium and Olive) were very nice and the service there excellent. For lunch, we tended to alternate between going to the Culinarium and main restaurant, which was nice. The burgers and pides in the Culinarium were very good. There is a great selection of drinks and cocktails (I recommend the Tiramisu Martini and Ayran!). The staff overall were amazing, particularly Miko (who I already mentioned) but also Craig (TUI experience manager) and Debbie (activity host), who all made our stay even more enjoyable. The bar staff were very good too (they clearly work very hard catering to everyone's needs), but also a special shout out to Savaş (hotel manager) who makes a real effort getting to know his guests and making sure that everything is OK all of the time. Overall, a 10/10 experience and we can't wait to come back (in 16 years time when baby is all grown up!).

Just come back from another brilliant week. Savas and his staff work tirelessly to make everyone’s stay enjoyable. There’s a wide variety of food available for breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks available in the afternoon. Lots of activities to do throughout the day so there’s never a dull moment
