Akra Fethiye Tui Blue Sensatori

We had a wonderful 10-day holiday in September and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic throughout the hotel — so friendly, welcoming and always going out of their way to make sure you were enjoying yourself.

We had a swim-up room on the family side, which was wonderful overall. The only thing we felt let the room down was the bathroom. The wooden bath panel looked quite old-fashioned compared with the rest of the room, and because of its height, we felt it could potentially be a little dangerous. Apart from that, the room was lovely, and the cleaners did a fantastic job of keeping it spotless.

The whole hotel and its beautiful grounds were exceptionally clean and well looked after.

We really enjoyed having drinks in the lounge bar in the evenings while listening to the music and singers. The only slight downside was that you do hear some of the same songs quite often. The bar staff were fantastic, especially the head barman, who I believe was called Mohammed. As soon as our glasses were nearly empty, we seemed to have another one in our hands! 😂 Such great service.

We also spent a few days around the family pool, which is huge. The two guys working at the pool bar were great too — always friendly and hardworking.

We spent quite a lot of time on the beach and absolutely loved it. The sunbeds weren’t packed together like sardines, and there were always beds available on most days. The beach bar staff were lovely, extremely friendly and worked so hard. Their English was fantastic too. We loved watching them make the cocktails!

The drinks throughout the hotel were top-notch, with all the well-known branded drinks and a great choice of beers.

Food-wise, we felt the buffet was probably the one area that could have been better. What we did have tasted good, but we didn’t feel there was as much choice as we’ve experienced at some other all-inclusive hotels, including some that were cheaper. We missed things like sushi and would have liked a bigger choice of breads and rolls. The desserts were very tasty, though. At lunchtime, the jacket potatoes were lovely, as were the kebab rolls. We also really enjoyed the food at Sunset and Basilico.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the Chinese à la carte, especially as we had heard such great reviews and were really looking forward to it. We waited around 45 minutes after our starters and still hadn’t received our mains, so we decided to leave. We only received drinks after asking for them. The staff did apologise and explained that they were very busy, although there did appear to be quite a few empty tables.

Guest Relations did get in touch afterwards to apologise and kindly offered us another evening at the restaurant, which we thought was very good of them. We decided not to take them up on the offer, but really appreciated them reaching out.

The Turkish à la carte, however, was exceptional. Wonderful food and wine, and Burak went above and beyond to look after us. He is a real asset to the hotel and made our evening very special.

Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would definitely consider returning one day. For us, the biggest reason would be the wonderful staff who work here. They really do make the hotel what it is. ❤️

My daughter's wedding — a beautiful stay! We stayed here for 7 nights in mid-August to attend my daughter's wedding with family and friends.

Most importantly, the wedding itself was beautiful — the staff did a brilliant job organising everything and making the day extra special.

The hotel was amazing very clean and modern, with plenty of food choices across a number of restaurants. Book early though, as spaces fill up quickly!

The coffee shop/bar was fantastic — fresh coffee, iced lattes, ice creams, and chocolate all available.

If I had one niggle, it would be that the bar nearest to where we sat by the pool was the beach bar, which involved a bit of a walk and got annoying when going back and forth for drinks.

That said, bottled water is readily available at all the cafés and bars.

Outside the hotel there are a few shops selling replica clothing, but not much else.

We took a taxi to Calis (about 20 minutes away) — the shops there were pretty much copy-and-paste of what was outside the hotel. We then took a boat trip to Fethiye (about 20 minutes), which had a handful of restaurants and shops but not a huge amount to do. The taxi back to the hotel took around 25 minutes and cost 1,200 Lira.

The night entertainment was good, but once it finished around 10pm, there wasn't much to do besides sit on the beach or in the lobby piano bar.

I'd definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking for a luxury, kid-friendly, all-inclusive option — there's also an adults-only pool and bar if you fancy escaping the noise.

The best holiday I’ve ever been on. Every other holiday we compare to this and nothing beats it. It’s perfect in every aspect. The food, sensationalx the à la carte were sensational and the drinks were phenomenal. Baring in mind the price I paid for 2 adults and 1, 1 year old we were absolutely delighted. The rooms are great and well equipped. The pools are fantastic. The snack bars and beach bars are great. What makes the hotel however if the amazing staff, Hakan and benyumin were exceptional. They really made our holiday. And Amy the TUI blue entertainment leader went above and beyond her job role to ensure our son had the best time. We are really fond of this place and don’t think this place will ever be beaten. Fantastic value for money, amazing service and the most amazing holiday with memories that will last a lifetime.
