TUI BLUE Seno · Sarigerme, Turkey

Peace above
the bay.

A hillside adults-only resort, a spectacular view and the most peaceful hotel stay we’ve had in a long time.

Why we chose it

It looked peaceful. It really was.

Sarah liked the look of TUI BLUE Seno, and the hillside setting above Sarigerme Bay was what drew us in. We arrived on 17 April 2025—the hotel’s opening day for that season—and found exactly the relaxed atmosphere we had hoped for.

The resort was only around half full during our April stay, which undoubtedly helped it feel so quiet. Even so, the friendly welcome, beautiful grounds and views across the water gave the whole place a calmness that stayed with us.

“The hillside setting gave the whole place such a peaceful, relaxing feel.”

Our room

Room 1046, with the sea in sight.

01

Standard Sea View

We booked a Standard Sea View room with a double bed. The official room details list it as 28 square metres with a balcony, king-size bed and rain shower—and the view was every bit as good as we hoped.

02

A very handy level

Room 1046 was on a good level for us, with only a short walk to the main restaurant and main pool. At a steep hillside resort, that made everyday life noticeably easier.

03

Know before you go

The grounds are hilly and steep in places. The resort transport helped enormously, but anyone with mobility concerns should speak to the hotel about room position before booking.

From our camera roll

Pool days, beach air and slow evenings.

There was no single showpiece. It was the choice of peaceful pools, the bay below, the good food and the warm welcome that made the stay work so well.

The useful bits

What we’d tell a friend.

01

Four outdoor pools

The resort has four outdoor pools: the main infinity pool, the quieter Relax Pool, the Oasis Pool and the Lagoon activity pool, plus an indoor spa pool. Different areas had different moods, so it was easy to find somewhere that suited us.

02

Beach days made easy

The hotel’s section of the sandy bay had plenty of comfortable sunbeds, with a beach bar and snack restaurant nearby. A complimentary shuttle links the hillside resort and beach.

03

Friendly transport

Frequent minibuses made getting around the steep grounds straightforward and the drivers were always friendly. During our stay they stopped at midnight, so we made sure not to miss the last one. Timings can change—check them when you arrive.

04

Excellent food and drink

We thought both were excellent, with plenty of choice and staff who were consistently welcoming. The official resort information currently lists four restaurants and five bars across the all-inclusive resort.

05

Pack for April evenings

The evening entertainment was outdoors and it became very cool after sunset. If you visit early in the season, take something warm even when the daytime forecast looks lovely.

The Chesters verdict

Fully recommended.

TUI BLUE Seno gets the Chesters Stamp of Approval. It was beautiful, tranquil and wonderfully welcoming, with a view we never tired of. Our April visit was early in the season and the hotel was only around half full, so busier dates may feel different. Facilities and schedules can also change—check the current details directly before booking.
