Tui Blue Barut Andiz (Adults Only) Hotel - Side

An intimate escape to paradise

The staff welcomed us like family, and it felt so comforting. They remembered our names and preferences throughout our stay. Each morning started with good sweets that brightened our days.

Some areas in the hotel showed signs of wear, and the shower pressure left a bit to be desired. The thin doors of the separate toilet were slightly uncomfortable.

I stayed here 5 nights and loved it.

The bus stop was 15 minutes' walk away. Booked twin room with a safe box, a minibar, and an electronic key card.

The staff always had a smile on their face.

First Visit to Sensimar Andiz Hotel

In general:Looking forward to our first holiday at Andiz, we were not disappointed with the holiday at all. Location and surroundings:We love Side, this is our third visit to the area and we have previously stayed in Barut Hotels. The beach, promenade and historical ruins in Side are fascinating Service:Our experience was that the staff were very helpful and only too willing to assist. I would particularly like to highlight the Executive Chef Veli, the restaurant Service Manager Hassan and our favourite waiter Murat. These guys were superb! Dining:The buffet restaurant was very nice with plenty of tables outside, we were not regularly troubled by smokers and the service from all the waiters was excellent. They regularly cleared used dishes and replaced drinks. In the restaurant the food choice suited our needs perfectly, we never wanted for a quality meal throughout the holiday. All foods on display were labelled for allergy, a particular need for us as my husband is Coeliac and must eat a strictly gluten free diet. Additionally advice was available although you have to make allowance for the language barrier. There is one area I would like to draw the attention of the restaurant management to - and this is cross contamination. Coeliac disease requires complete isolation of foods from gluten containing items. Cross contamination can occur in the restaurant when serving spoons etc. are DOUBLE DIPPED when gluten containing foods are served on the same plate as gluten free foods. I am sure the management appreciate this BUT the guests do not and inadvertently contaminate serving spoons or even the whole container of gluten free food. Sports and leisure:The bar staff were excellent as well, they seem to have photographic memories(in particular Ali) who recognises faces and remembers the correct drinks. The Sunset Bar is superb and in general the entertainment is ok. The II Divo tribute act was very good but not to our taste. The Drifters tribute act were great and the dj also played great music. Unfortunately the bar isn't always open which leaves a hole in the entertainment. Not everybody enjoys bingo and quiz nights. We didn't use the pool, beach is our love and the managed beach area was fine, the man on duty looked after things there efficiently. Room: We arrived at the hotel very late, early on 14th Sept. after baggage collection delays at the airport. The reception staff were efficient and quick to check us in and we received a welcome cocktail. The bags were quickly delivered to our room and the friendly porter explained all about our room. It was too late to get anything to eat so we went straight to bed. The room was very well appointed with a pool view on the first floor. Useful tips: Lastly, All senior managers including the general manager were available at all times and approachable, a well run hotel. We will definitely seriously consider a return trip.

The highlight was the amazing food.

The hotel has an intimate vibe. Cleanliness was great, and the fresh fruit and ice creams brought to the beach made it feel luxurious 🌊🍹

We loved celebrating Dad's 60th birthday here, especially when the staff surprised us with a champagne bottle at the beach and arranged a lovely a la carte dinner! The outdoor pool and spa lounge were perfect for unwinding after a busy day, but the room could use a little refreshing in spots. it was a fantastic trip, and I’d recommend it for a special occasion! 🎉

Great staff, very clean hotel, but the beach is a short walk away.

Fine, Fine, Fine

The sunset bar is a must-visit. Watching the sun dip beyond the horizon while sipping expertly crafted cocktails was pure magic. I loved the intimate atmosphere-it's like you're welcomed into a family where every detail matters. And let's talk about the beach! The attendants spoil you with fresh fruit and ice creams every day. It's the perfect little touch of luxury!

Do recommend 😍💖

The hotel is wonderful, especially the staff who feel like friends dedicated to. The buffet food is of high quality, catering to picky eaters, and the variety of daily activities and live entertainment kept things exciting throughout our stay.

Some rooms are relatively small.

It was just a suitable option for a short interlude in Side with good value for price. The outdoor lounging area was quite nice. Try to get a room near the pool since it's where the action is.

Chur, the staff were super friendly was great, but the shower pressure was pretty weak. The food rocked, heaps of tasty options from local to international.

Amazing food and friendly vibes!

The beach area was just a stroll away. Totally loved the bar, especially the cocktails by the pool. Only thing is, the room felt a bit on the smaller side, but it was cozy nonetheless.

The hotel was soooo clean and cozy. The staff are really friendly and super attentive. Loved how the food was delicious every single day, they have a mix of local and international dishes. The location is great too, just a short walk to the beach, well maintained. The pool area was nice and perfect for chillin'. Made lots of memories here, def would come back!

But the beds were a bit squeaky and I wished there were more choices for drinks. The shower was kinda weak.
