Akra Fethiye the Residence Tui Blue Sensatori - Ultra All Inclusive - Adults Only

We visited here in late September for my birthday and overall it was a lovely stay. Pros: - The service in this hotel is probably one of the main reasons people keep coming back, all the staff were attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. We never felt that anything was too much trouble or that you were inconveniencing them. - The room was amazing, we booked a penthouse suite which was large, beautifully furnished and well presented. I truly feel that although the extra space was nice I would have been just as happy with a standard room. The added extra of a walk in wardrobe come dressing room was a lovely touch. The only slightly strange issue was that the bath was directly in front of the main entrance which did seem a bit odd but that may have just been me. The cleaners and people stocking the mini bar were excellent, and it's probably the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in. - Drinks were plentiful and free flowing if you wanted them, the cocktails were excellent and the wine drinkable although I'm a bit of a white wine and prosecco snob and did think these were slightly lacking. - Pool area was amazing, I spent the sunny days floating round the pool with drink and kindle in hand, even getting poolside service from the staff for drinks which was a lovely touch. The water although extremely cold was very refreshing although I did hear a lot of complaints around the pool that it was far too cold to spend any amount of time in. It never felt cramped and although we often didn't come down to the pool until after 10am didn't have a problem finding empty sun loungers. It did seem that there were bed hoggers who would put there towel down and then disappear for hours which was a bit frustrating. The swim up bar was great and the staff always happy to accommodate any request, mine being wine in a tumbler so it could fit in my floaty drinks holder! - Cabana day was excellent, the service was amazing with nothing being too much trouble, food and drink were ordered through a QR code and brought to the cabana which I thought was a great touch. We had booked a cabana again after this but unfortunately the weather had other ideas. Cons: - We had 3 days of torrential rain and if like my husband find it hard to entertain yourself you will be bored, there was very little to do in the hotel which didn't involve eating and drinking. I know this is very much a first world problem but did make the days very long. - The food although varied due to the theme nights did get very samey after a couple of days. I found the food either quite bland or very overwhelmed with different herbs which masked the true flavour of the food. I am in no way a picky and always found something to eat but did get bored by the end of the trip. We visited the buffet next door and found the food to be really good for a buffet restaurant, although the service was nowhere near as good. - Communication methods in my opinion could be improved as having to phone guest relations for ever

Just returned from our 4th visit to this amazing place and can honestly say it gets better with each visit. The whole property is spotless, the food is really top notch as are the cocktails , the entertainment is fantastic but what sets this place apart are the wonderful staff who go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing holiday. Far too many to mention individually but a special shout out to Ibrahim on guest relations, always smiling and happy to help , Murat from the repertory , such a hard worker , very professional and a real asset to the residence and Tamhil (Tommy) from the beach bar who puts the miles in making sure each guest is well refreshed. We really wouldn't want to holiday anywhere else since finding this very special place which now feels like our second home and have already booked 2 visits for next year and 2 visits for 2027. Thank you The Residence for another wonderful stay.

There aren't enough words to sum up this place. We've just had the most amazing week away in absolute paradise!! Nothing is too much trouble for the fantastic staff. Special mentions to Memet who welcomed us like family, Mustafa who we saw each morning for a sumptuous breakfast and Zeki who was our personal waiter when we had candlelight dinner in a cabana on our anniversary. We hope they will be there when we come back next year We were in block 46 which had beautiful sea views, a huge bed, jacuzzi and more drink/ refreshments that you could ever get through. I've never stayed in such beautiful grounds. The lagoon pool had so much room to swim in, although there did seem to be an odd current that pulled you towards the pool bar no matter whether you were swimming or on a pool float . We tried most of the cocktails, of course. They were all delicious. We also had full use of the facilities in the hotel next door, brilliant aqua class each day and plenty to keep you entertained throughout the day and night. I've come home exhausted but so happy that this place was recommended by friends (who are still there now sending us happy pics) and can't wait to go back.
