The check-in process was swift and easy, getting us from the plane to our room without unnecessary delays. This was a great start to the holiday.
The main buffet restaurant is very good with plenty of choices available. The waiters are very attentive, working hard to keep tables clear and drinks flowing. The food quality is good, often featuring fresh and well-prepared dishes. However, while the quality is there, the selection isn't the most varied. You might find yourself wishing for a bit more diversity over a week's stay. Breakfast, on the other hand, is not great or consistent. The food choices often felt lacking, and the offerings seemed to change daily, making it hard to find a reliable favourite.
Daytime activities were the usual offering of animation team activities and all in all okay in their quality. They're available if you want to participate, but don’t particularly stand out.
A significant observation regarding the atmosphere is the clientele, which is around 90% German. This heavily influences the entire resort experience, from the language spoken by staff to the general atmosphere around the resort.
The evening entertainment was, frankly, awful. It was clear that the entire program was catered for German guests. There are board games available in the main lobby free of charge.
They have some shops on site which an actually reasonably prices, these sell Clothing and Bags and Toiletries. There is also an Optik and Jewellers shops but these are very expensive.
I would like to give a particular mention to Riad, he is in charge of the fitness entertainment and puts 110% effort in and is friendly and approachable and very helpful at all times. I would also like to give a big shout out to Anil on the Island bar, he works very hard, remembers all drink orders and always asks about your stay.
The majority of the hotel is exceptionally clean and tidy and the staff work very hard to keep the hotel to this standard. The rooms are also clean and have enough drawers and cupboard space for a two week holiday for two people. They have a flat screen Android TV included with no extra charge, a large overhead shower area and separate toilet area. The doors to the toilet and shower are not lockable.
They have a heated indoor pool in the SPA area, which is free to use, however it isn’t very clean in there and has a distinct smell of urine lingering where you get in and out of the pool. Towels are changed here daily if you wish to have a clean towel round the pool.
All requests are handled through the TUI Blue app which is available on iOS and Android devices. Free WiFi is also provided through out the hotel however it doesn’t reach to the beach area.
Whilst The TUI Blue Belek offers a clean, well-serviced environment with attentive staff in the dining areas and a good quality, if unvaried, main buffet, the overwhelming German focus, particularly the poor and exclusionary evening entertainment, significantly detracts from the overall holiday experience for international guests.
If you don't mind a very German-centric resort and don't value evening shows, you'll likely have a decent time. If you're looking for varied cuisine and inclusive, quality nighttime entertainment, you might want to consider other options.
