Blue Bay Platinum

Good firm king size mattress but pillows were overstuffed & hard. Only 1 tiny circular drawer in the single bedside table & only 1 bedside light. Square arch of LED lights round bed head were not bright enough to read by. A small room with no drawers for clothes storage can never be graded 5*. Dining room was good & all-you-can-carry food was excellent. Self-serve salads were truly magnificent, as were the free ice creams. We didn’t indulge in the unlimited free alcohol available. The biggest bugbear was the all-encompassing music. Reveille (yes a bugle call) at 10.00 & then continuous over-loud music until 23.00. We played a game of ‘hunt the loudspeaker’ to try to find the quietest location. If you want a quiet peaceful holiday then look elsewhere, Blue Bay Platinum is not for you. We complained to TUI UK & we’re told that the hotel is described as ‘lively’. This is obviously TUIspeak for deafening.

The restaurant staff were great .. the entertainment staff didn’t approach us until day 10 of our two week stay .. the noise from the Sun Bay hotel next door was horrendous and we might as well as had the windows open .. food was repetitive and lukewarm warm although we didn’t starve .. although we were all ill during the holiday … the pools were overcrowded and everyone was rammed in like sardines .. Alex at the adults pool was amazing .. the Tui rep was very knowledgeable .. we wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend

Me and my husband stayed here in august the hotel was fab our room was lovely looking over one of the pools bathroom fab shower lovely and big we found the food very good different types each evening it was a busy time of the year but the hotel did not feel crowded lots of areas to go the adult pool was great for us as no children with us but all pools good and big would deffinatly return

Very good hotel excellent all inclusive only downside is noise from rooms being woken every morning at 8 by cleaners who had no consideration for guests not a problem for some but I like a little lie especially when getting in late ideal location very close to beach and amenities overall very good

I wouldn’t say this hotel is 4 star maybe a 3. Food isn’t the best some nights there’s been nothing for kids and hit and miss for adults (we’re not fussy eaters) plastic cups in the day still with lipstick all over them. I wouldn’t come end of season again as they didn’t have half the ice cream and food/ drink) the bar and ice cream shop is miles away from the entertainment and pool with no one offering drinks. The lunchtime food bar by the pool is great food something for everyone even picky eaters! Rooms are touch and go we had to move from our first family room as the doors wouldnt lock, mould all over the bathroom, windows falling out so wouldn’t shut them, the safe wasn’t attached to anything. The room we moved to was cleaner but again safe not attached to anything and kept failing and wouldn’t open, the electrics blew so had to wait for staff to come fix it, loud hotel rooms for kids as the entertainment was right next to the block of family rooms and no more anywhere else that was quieter. Entertainment team were lovely but not much for little ones more for teens ours were (8&4 years old). Location brilliant but not on the beach 5-7 mins walk from the hotel and no all inclusive down the beach. The rep was lovely and helpful as our girl became poorly and got a rash since being here. The pools are dirty around the edges making your feet black! Pools are great but very cold this time of the year. Love marmaris but wouldn’t come back to the hotel due to the fact theirs not much for young kids and the food/drinks not being great. Staff were lovely. But again I would not come in October to Turkey over half term they start shutting everything off around you felt very awkward sitting around the pool they start putting beds away at 3/4pm. The men who run the shop onsite are really friendly but you do pay for convenience much cheaper at the supermarket over the road.
