TUI BLUE Atlantica Bay

I visited the Atlantica Bay Hotel in October 2019, a stay that can only be described as exceeding expectations. The Hotel is very well maintained generally, and I understand is having more upgrades to rooms during the winter shut period. Our room was kept very clean and the Mini bar was topped up daily with two beers, two soft drinks and a bottle of water, an electronic safe is provided also, it is a fair size and would easily take a note book computer and valuables. Both the mini bar and safe come at no extra charge. A hair drier is provided. Unfortunately unlike most 4 star hotels an Iron and ironing board are not provided in the room. At Gatwick airport Soffit 4*hotel an Iron and board is provided, and I am told that even at a cheap Premier Inn hotel, an iron and board is provided on request. I have stayed at many hotels both in Europe and further afield and have never had a problem being supplied with these articles. There is an Ironing room, but you can imagine the problems it would involve if everyone wanted to use it. As most guest seem to be very well turned out I can only imagine that like myself they take an iron with them. I would of thought,from a safety aspect, it would be prudent for the hotel to provide irons and boards, at least in the suites and superior rooms, and have some for hire in other rooms, as the irons could be checked for safety and suitability, and the boards would prevent unsuitable surfaces being used and possibly heat damaged or worse a fire started! The restaurant is very nice and the buffet food offerings are most pleasing, with something to suit most peoples taste. As part of the all inclusive package a no extra cost option to dine in the A'la Carte restaurant is included once per stay. Waiter service is excellent, we never had to wait long for our drinks, and the senior staff are most welcoming and friendly. Bar staff are excellent, and a good range of local drinks and cocktails are available on the all inclusive package. Light snacks are available in the lobby bar, and I believe during the day more 'meal' like snacks are available outside of the main restaurant dinning area near the pool, though I never felt the need to eat between meals myself, so I am not able to comment on these offerings. The pool area is a little pushed for space around the main 'huge' pool, the lap pool offers further space for loungers, but some additional sun shades would be welcome. additionally a short walk down the hill and across the road, is the Sands Beach bar, where food is also served and yet more sunbeds and shades are available, but be aware locals can also use this facility, I understand it is the law in Cyprus. Generally speaking, this is a well run clean and friendly adult only hotel, frequented by guest from many nations. The Hotels best assets are it's staff, from the Manager to the bar staff, the maids and porter, front desk team and maintenance crew, all are top notch. I can recommend this hotel and will most definitely be returning for a future visit.

My wife and I spent a week in mid October at Atlantica Bay Hotel. This was our fourth visit of 2019 and we believe that since the hotel opened in 1997 we have visited perhaps 40 times. Needless to say we always thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We have visited many other hotels during this time but none quite live up to their standard. There are minor faults to be found if you really want to look for them but overall the staff, from top management to gardeners and cleaners, always make every guest feel that they are part of the “family”. The hotel is kept spotlessly clean, the rooms are of a good size with large comfortable beds. The restaurant is bright and airy with a good selection of buffet food catering for all dietary requirements. The entertainment is varied with acts from magicians and acrobats to singers etc. and there is always the comfortable lounge to relax in if you don’t want to watch the entertainment. Of course we really recommend this hotel and we are looking forward to our next visit in April 2020

Been home for just over a week and my wife and I are missing it already,stayed for the last two weeks of the season(our 39 th visit) and despite a ,couple of days of poor weather had yet another amazing holiday.Somehow despite the loss of the summer students who left in mid september the remaining staff did a remarkable job to keep up the high standard of service in all hotel departments,even when they were doing double shifts.Tui team led by Ged kept up the great work.Looking forward to next year,and seeing the revamped rooms.One already booked,and looking forward to meeting all the great staff again.Only one problem ,TUI somehow do not send CQ forms to me so I cant officially score the hotel and staff.
