TUI BLUE Palm Garden

This is our third stay here, we visited last in 2022. We fancied a cheeky week away in the sun and this hotel came up. As we had already been here before and enjoyed our stay, we decided to stay again. We arrived late but check in was quick and the restaurant had food waiting for us, very much appreciated after a day of travelling. We don’t remember that from previous stays as only the grab and go station used to be open for late arrivals. This is a nice surprise and very welcoming and we hope this continues. Our room was lovely, overlooking the gardens, and very clean. The housekeeping staff did a great job during our stay, the room was always immaculate. The food has improved since our last stay. It was always very good but this time, it was amazing. We even personally thanked the head chef. The choices of meat and variation for a buffet was great, the best we have had for a long time! Mehmet, the manager, is awesome and such a credit to this hotel. He really does care about his guests and is always available for a chat, we even stopped a few times to let him know how happy we was! The ladies on the evening reception desk are so lovely and always happy to chat with us and help us. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The location is a little far out but we love it here and it’s worth it. All of the staff here are wonderful and really do make your stay a happy one. We even recognised some staff from our previous stays, they are all very courteous and attentive. We can’t wait to return for our 4th visit in 2026!

Where to start!! This hotel was amazing from start to finish We Travelled with our family(kids 8&13) with my sister and her family and our mum and dad We stayed in two bedroom apartment rooms. So much space, immaculate, cleaned daily. Fab rooms Twin bedroom with door so kids were separate while we had acces out of room or onto balcony without waking them. Food was the best all inclusive we have had!! My daughter has a dairy intolerance and everythin is labelled so clearly!! Food was sooo good, chefs were all lovely, talented and so friendly. So much choice but also so much attention to detail. Not just a buffet where you manage to find something to eat… amazing food cooked to perfection. Wee station at night with a different chefs specialty each night, like a Michelin star restaurant! My daughter also has choice of 3 different sorbets too! Along with loads of flavours of ice cream for my son too. Jist brilliant. Breakfast has omlettes, made fresh, poached eggs, overnight oats gluten and dairy free huge selection, fresh smoothies and freshly squeezed orange juice. and all us all breakfast suspects, they even made my daughter pancakes with soya milk! Nothing was a hassle. Inside at lunch was fab choice, but outside amazing choice for a beach/pool bar. Lovely baked tattie station along with most of the selections that was offered inside too! Evening was never too busy and staff always attentive. But people need to remember, treat people nice and they will treat you nice, some people are horrid!!! Being kind goes a long way!! Kids smoothie/mocktail/icecream station too at kids pool. Rooftop terrace was Beautiful to watch the sunset , even if chilly, as went on October, blankets were provided if asked for. 24hr bar, with soft, hot and alcoholic drinks. Sandwiches, fruit, protein snacks, etc, great for late check or early check outs. lovely staff and atmosphere. On our walk to room during day we saw the odd cat, who never bothered u, the odd peacock too and at night saw a hedge hog a few times One night there was a beach party, our kids loved the dj and mocktails, we enjoyed cocktails and a dance too! Great shopping centre outside and also in the hotel amazing quality and value clothing etc. we took case home full of stuff for the kids!!! BBQ restaurant at hotel was lovely. Really nice. I hate cats, and waiter made sure the one cat goin around came nowhere near our table, steaks were cooked to perfection and desserts to die for!! Bar staff and restaurant staff all lovely. Especially gulhan and the lad we had (I’ve forgotten his name, so sorry, you will know who you are if you read this “juney with the red wine” haha Always smiling and loved a wee chat when at bar etc. a small tip helped at bar. Staff always enthusiastic too. Plenty sunbeds and never crammed in, beach also amazing and loads of beds and bean bags! Total wipeout type inflatable in the sea was soooo much fun for kids and adults My only two flaws for this hotel would have to be not enough slides for the kids, mine were 13&8, had cousins same age with them so was fine but if we had been ourselves they would have been looking for more to do! And the Tui blue app was a pain, never managed to book into anythin!! Always fully booked. Would have love the kitchen tour!! Booked land of legends and used excursion side and were amazing. Private transfer was worth every penny! The day at land of legends was expensive to get there but worth it as kids had the best day, as did the adults . Food and drink wasn’t bad priced, food better priced than drink but that didn’t After, was a really good day!! Would defo return to this hotel as a couple but for the kids, they need a bit more!! But we cannot stress how amazing the food and rooms and location were! I’m a rose wine drinker and it was Awful, as was the white, couldt drink it at all!! Did purchase a lovely Sauv one night tho!! but I drank red and a gin or vodka, cocktails so nice too. Oh to add. Staff at entertainment area were amazing too. Billie is a credit to the team!! Such a lovely girl!! One night after our water park day, kids were tired and there was a movie night, staff provided Doritos and blankets for the kids , they watched lion king mufasa movie as the adults unwound with the kids in sight with a lovely daiquiri !! One of the best holidays we have had in years!! Book it, some hotels we have been, there are so many hidden extras. Here, it’s truly all inclusive! Everything included and all with a friendly smile!! Amazing place

What a buffer... a bit distant location but other than that it's really hard to find anything negative about this hotel.

This hotel has got to have been one of the best hotels I have stayed at in turkey, it was beautiful and the staff there took care of the grounds and the guests very well. The rooms are very spacious and clean, the housekeeping team work so hard and are so friendly too! The hotel has a beach joint on and it is amazing, the pier is beautiful and it’s open in the evening too so a nice walk along the beach was perfect. The hotel is definitely worth the price you pay and most of the staff are lovely. The entertainment throughout the day is exceptional, even at this time of the year they are still going strong! The entertainment in the evening is thought about very well and the music is turned down later in the evening. There was one reason why I have to give this hotel 4 stars and that’s because of the pool- although it was very clean and well maintained it was freezing. The lifeguards there were amazing, they all payed such good attention to the guests and were very helpful, they even helped put up my umbrella because I didn’t know how to! Thankyou. What I can say though is, the Head Lifeguard is meant to stand out for different reasons than he does, he was on his phone around the pool, not paying attention to the guests who were swimming. He was always very grumpy too and definitely not approachable like the other lifeguards. He was also walking around the pool while eating which isn’t very hygienic for someone working at the hotel. This is something the hotel needs to look at 100% but if it wasn’t for this situation I’d have given it a 5/5 experience.

We are here for the second time because last year was so great. Thought it was a fluke but we are day two for the second year. They have already outdone themselves. It’s worth every penny. The staff are fabulous the food is delicious and the drinks perfection! Can’t ask for anything else!!
