Blue Bay Platinum

Having read reviews about the hotel, I was a bit nervous about what to expect but we had a wonderful time here! The food was good, and we found there was plenty to chose from. My only suggestion would be that instead of having indian food available every night, maybe this could be themed so that food such as mexican, turkish, chinese etc was also available on other nights. The staff in the restaurant were very polite and efficient, and most nights the drinks would be bought to us at the table, rather than us having to go and get them, which is above and beyond the service we expected. The snack bar by the family pool was excellent, the chips and pizza were delicious and it was well used by my family, and we didn't go to the restaurant for lunch once in the 2 weeks because the food here was great! The pool and the surrounding area was kept spotlessly clean as well. The animation team, who entertain the guests, made this a fantastic holiday us all. Mike, Bibo, Billy, Sude, Savas and Alex worked tirelessly coming up with things to do round the pool and entertainment for the evenings. They absolutely made this holiday for my children, who are now desperate to go back. Two lovely ladies also ran the kids club, which my children attended once, and really enjoyed. Also on site is a jewellers, run by Tony. He has some incredible pieces in his shop. We bought some earrings and my girls were delighted with them. Tony also cleaned and re-plated my white gold rings, free of charge, and they now look like new. I'm hoping my husband will be in touch with him about buying me a ring, as the jewellery he has in the shop is lovely! The only negatives would be the wifi, but we were here for the sun, so it was not such a loss and decent wifi was available, if you needed it, if you sat in reception. Also, the room cleaning was a bit hit and miss. Most days our room was not cleaned as the cleaner arrived at about 5;30pm, when we were all showering after a day at the beach and the pool. This really is too late in the day, and maybe more staff is needed to ensure that the cleaners do not have such a heavy work load. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday here, met some lovely people and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel!

So me and my mum went to the blue bay for a week 9th to the 16th. Turkey is a beautiful country ,weather was amazing , only one day was cloudy came back with a nice sun tan. The people and staff are very lovely. So i will start with the positives : staff , entertainment team are lovely , the entertainment is great there they have lots of stuff to do for the kids. They have 1 main restaurant and a snack bar and patisserie that has cakes and buns. I must say am not keen on some of the desserts apart from 1 or 2. an the ice cream is nice though. Food is lovely with slight rotation, some of it is repetitive but there ws rotation. Pool area lovely , grab a sun bed early if u want a good spot. Rooms were cleaned ( make sure u turn off the do not disturb switch for the maids to come). Only thing i can complain about is that the wifi doesnt have good coverage in some areas and sometimes at night it goes off when a number of people are connected. didnt like how u had to hand your passport over to register for the wifi took over an hour so we went to our rooms and good food while we waited for it. around the pool the wifi is ok but it does go off sometimes they need to improve that. Also another complain is the lifts one lift goes to diff ppart of the hotel whereas our room u had to go into a different lift to get to our room which was annoying and confusing. The shops around the country are lovely but ty and barter with the shop keepers because some shops are more expensive than others. Some shops are great in marmaris bizarre and the natives are wanting to make money. Remember if some people are charging 140 liras for trainers get it knocked down they will rather take less than £0. Also dont book the excursions through the hotel , go over the round to natives who are doing the excursions u get it far cheaper we went on a boat trip for £10 and the hotel was charging way more. they also have a marmaris bizarre for shopping (some shops are good prices) the hotel charge £17 for adult £7 for child. We got it for 50pence ( 3 lira) by going by the bus!! the lazy boat trip is so worth it £10 u go to a few islands , stop off for shopping and u get a meal it is really worth it. You get to go to an island called turunc the prices for clothes are cheaper there (most of the shops) i got micheal kors and louis vuitton 2 for £10 (genuine fake bags). jet skiing is cheaper if u go by the beach theres water sports place run by natives all of the companies have insurance and know what they are doing. Will be definitely returning again! 4 out of 5 star for me.

Very easy check in, there are 2 very helpful english girls on reception aswell as the very helpful turkish staff. The hotel is lovely and very clean, there is always cleaning going on, the pool areas are done twice a day with a ganzo machine. The family rooms are a little small but we didnt go to spend time in the room so for sleeping and showering they were fine. 5 pools in total, 2 main pools, the upper one is the most popular, an over 14 pool for those who want a bit of peace and quiet, a small slide pool and an indoor pool in the spa. There are 2 bars, lounge bar and seaside bar, the latter is the better of the 2 inasmuch as the staff know what they are doing, some of the staff on the lounge bar are clueless. Behind the seaside bar to the rear if the hotel is a cake shop! Yes it has its own cake shop which is free for AI guests, our kids loved it. Wifi is sporadic and rarely worked well, 2 types available, free and paid, the paid is £25 for the week. The restaurant serves 3 times a day and the food is good quality. Ive read reviews that it was cold but thats only if you leave it till just before it closes, get there when it opens and its piping hot and the chefs cook in front of you. When the restaurant is closed there is also a snack bar serving from 11 every day. They serve burgers, fried chicken, fried fish, chips, pasta and salad. You cannot go hungry in this place. Its set over 3 buildings split into 4 blocks. Would we go back? Damn right we would, its fabulous for a hotel and one of the nicest ive stayed in in turkey.
