high quality, enough sunbeds!

TLDR; great service, good food & chill hotel

staff friendly staff, genuinely nice & professional.

pool importantly there's enough sun beds!! also in july the pool water is warm enough, like 28-29c. open until 7pm. there is pool drinks service and a shady lounging area right next to pool which is perfect for those 38c days. pool towels are in the room and can be changed easily at the spa by the pool, so that felt easy. pool has sun most of the day.

wifi reliable but not the fastest and it does drop off occasionally, especially in the far ends of the premises. overall average.

room clean, comfortable & modern. our balcony had a view to a backyard/random area, obviously not in control of the hotel. well, we didn't pay for a sea view. quiet room to sleep in but could hear cleaning crews in neighboring rooms in the mornings very well. the darkening curtains dim the room reasonably well. both sides of bed have an outlet for phone charging. minibar had complimentary soft drinks & beer & water, filled daily. our room did get music & party noise some evenings until 11pm. FYI the swim up rooms are on the backside of the hotel, sharing a long pool in front, with view of grass and there's nothing else on that side, no bar no nothing - perfect if you want just peace and quiet.

food the buffet is surprisingly good and varied for such a small-medium size hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. different theme nights also added to the variety. a lot of fresh stuff especially and turkish specialties like pide, urfa kebab, lahmacun. good options for vegetarians in the forms of mezes etc. desserts were also varied always including cheesecake and baklava plus 10-15 other things. good variety of fresh fruit. breakfast is 7-11am. upstairs Culinarium has a late carte menu for lunch, also decent selection, mainly burgers and pasta. .

drinks good, not too watered down. obviously some syrups etc swapped for some ingredients but i was overall happy with my cocktails (mai thai, aperol spritz, baby guinness...). the all inclusive is until midnight, then for an hour you pay 00-01 and then the bar(s) close.

beach sandy and sectioned hotel by hotel so you get a sunbed but the sea is shared by everyone. hotel fridge there has mainly a couple soft drinks but at least during our visit also beer and house wine.

location beach is 200m, and the beach promenade starting there going towards town has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. so 5-10min walk. u can walk to old town in 25min.

14 days of happiness

If you’re looking for a hotel that is small and friendly, with amazing food, fabulous cocktails and the most welcoming staff, then this is the place for you!

This was our second visit to the Andiz, and we wondered if it would live up to our experience last year — thankfully, it absolutely did!

We ate at both à la carte restaurants as well as the buffet restaurant, and the food was fantastic every time. The drinks in all of the bars are of a really high standard, and we enjoyed some lovely cocktails during our stay.

We particularly loved the Motown group and the Dream Girls performing up on the roof terrace — more of that please! 🎶

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, with nothing ever being too much trouble. Special mentions must go to Nuri & Mehmet, Halit, Ismail, Halil, Burak and Emine, who kept our room lovely. And, of course, we can’t forget Gorgeous George! ❤️

Everyone made us feel so special and welcome throughout our stay. We had a fantastic two weeks and are already planning our return.

Thank you to everyone at the Andiz for another amazing holiday — see you again! 🥂❤️

Amazing Hotel!

My partner and I had an incredible holiday! The hotel, Tui Blue Barut Andiz, was fantastic and I’d highly recommend it to anyone. The rooms were spacious and spotless, and the food was delicious with a great variety of options. The location was brilliant too — just a five-minute walk to the beach. The entertainment was also excellent, both to watch and to join in with.

I’d like to give a special mention to the staff, who were incredibly welcoming and helped make our engagement even more special. The manager, Savos, helped us plan some lovely extra touches for the proposal evening, and I’m very grateful to him. He also checked in with us throughout each day to make sure we were having a great time, which we really appreciated.

The bar staff, Halil and Ismail, were fantastic — always friendly and attentive, and a real credit to the hotel. Dogan was brilliant too, organising fun daily activities like water volleyball, which I loved, and bringing great energy to the evening entertainment. He’s also a real credit to the hotel.

Overall, our experience was amazing, and we’d definitely love to come back one day.

Best hotel in Turkey

If you want a relaxing and the best holiday ever then do not hesitate and book the Barut Andiz. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by friendly reception staff run by the wonderful Emir (most helpful man ever). The hotel is so clean and tidy and you will never see anything out of place. Rooms are spacious and kept clean daily by the wonderful maids who work so hard to keep the hotel clean. I prefer the pool and we always got a sun bed, the beach is a short walk but your all inclusive continues whilst down there. The staff is what makes this hotel so special and there are so many to thank but for us we have to thank Tahir in the restaurant for looking after us and keeping us entertained and spoke excellent English. Captain Nuri in the Al la Carte is just one in a million and works so hard to make sure you all get the best service. Halil at the pool bar who is always smiling and happy to see everyone and I have to mention the lovely little lady (unsure of her name) who greeted me with a "hello lady" everyday the cutest voice ever. Moving on to the pool which is of good temperature and the most relaxing pool and so clean, but thanks have to go to the amazing Ismail who works non stop providing you with your drinks all day, he must walk so many steps per day in the heat and is always smiling and laughing with everyone, he is a true asset to the hotel and the best lifeguard at the pool party (keep Ismail at the pool party). Brilliant entertainment in the evenings run by Debbie (Tui) and they have some fantastic bands and lets not forget the weekly pool parties which are just the best fun evenings ever and everyone comes together and joins in. The famous George who is bar manager continues to be everyone's favorite and he works so hard and always makes sure you are never without a drink, he is literally the best ever and I am happy to now class him as a friend. Food is of good high standards and expect to increase the waistline with the deserts which you have so much choice to pick from everyday. Now finally the management Mehmet who is now operations manager is walking around daily and making sure everything is okay and always happy to solve any issues. But my final thanks has to go to manager Savas who you will see daily and all the time, I have never been to a hotel and seen a manager as much as you will see him, he goes above and beyond to make sure you are all having an amazing time and if you have any issues/problems just let him know and he will solve it for you, nothing more annoying than people that moan about hotels but never discuss with management to allow them to resolve. Savas and the team we would like to thank you for another wonderful holiday and we hope to see you all soon. Your one and only "sweet Caroline/sweetcorn" Caroline & Darrell

Home away from home

Our favourite hotel to visit! We have returned from another perfect 2 week stay at our home away from home. The hotel improves year upon year (somehow, when it is always outstanding) staff retention is excellent, hotel is spotlessly clean, food is amazing, not repetitive. Our housekeeper was so lovely and friendly, rooms are cleaned to a high standard.

Nothing at all is too much trouble, if you have any issues (which we never do) the hotel management will try to solve it straight away.

The pool and beach areas are relaxing and again spotless.

The whole team at the Andiz every year are always excellent and happy to see you return. We cant thank everyone enough for looking after us, every staff member goes above & beyond for guests. Halit’s cocktails are always outstanding, our Gorgeous George for always making us laugh and being so amazing making our drinks and dancing with us, Mehmet & Hassan for checking how our meals were, Sezin for serving us every day in the main restaurant with a smile and Halil, Ismail & Kubra for looking after us so well every day at the pool. The Tui team are fantastic for providing day time activities around the pool, including yoga, Pilates and aqua. Evening entertainment is subtle and there are other options for quieter drinks.

Lastly, Savas you are an incredible manager so attentive to every detail, friendly and always there to check-in with guests. Always visible throughout every day and evening. Your leadership/management and hard work does not go unnoticed by guests and that is why so many guests return regularly. Thank you for always making sure we have a perfect trip each time & are looked after each visit. See you all next summer!
