TUI MAGIC LIFE Belek

I would not return to this hotel Compared to Masmavi it is a poor second Food, entertainment and layout of hotel just very average in my opinion Weather has been great, staff lovely, but it's a no from me.

The stay at this hotel was the last chance I was willing to give to all inclusive type of vacationing after two previous miserable experiences (Bulgaria and Tenerife) where I was bored out of my mind after two days and antsy to go and do anything as long as it was far away from the hotel. And to my suprise I had an absolute BLAST at Tui Magic Life Belek.

Hotel:

• The hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful and well maintained. After you leave your room in the morning you will spend most of the day outside breathing in the fresh air as the bars/ reception and other amenities are all open air and you don't have to sit around in any cold grey stinky airconned soulless lobbys typically find at large all in hotels
• Everything was clean and well maintained, the pools were crystal clean throughout our stay.
• lots of beautiful aesthetic spots to sit at and to take pictures of
• Cute cats running around with their own special tiny houses 🥰
• Lots of places to just chill out
• Beachfront hotel. The beach is great, plenty of sunbeds so no issue finding one.
• There's shops located in the hotel and the prices seemed pretty fair to us (you pay more than you would at a "normal" store but it's more convenient so it evens itself out
• There is also a super cheap bus that stops right in the front of the hotel that will take you to Kadriye / land of legends within 10 mins if you need to do some shopping. From Kadriye you can also change into a bus that goes to Antalya for very cheap. Just have some cash on (eur usd or try).

Activities:

• Lots of sportsy amenities to choose from. Beach volleyball, beach tennis, basketball. Tennis & padel-like (tons of fun!!) courts you can rent for free play. You can also get some free group or paid private tennis lessons. Other than that there's level-based group activities there and tournaments. There's also water sports activities available as well as mountain biking but we stuck to the racket sports for the most part.
• There's group sports classes available. I usually expect nothing from these as I'm aware that the level needs to be adjusted to cater to a whole range of people of different ages and motor ability. And yet I found most of the classes pretty challenging and very professionally led. I especially loved the pilates classes and wine yoga ❤️
• Champions League football matches were streamed on large screens with great quality and also a stuff member was walking around handing out crisps and beers to the viewers which we found super cool

So for the most time my boyfriend and I had our schedules full of different sports for the day and it was amazing (even though I'm sore now hehe)

Animation:

• We're a couple in our late 20s early 30s so historically in other hotels we rarely felt truly animated by the animations that naturally tend to be catered more to kids and families (which makes absolute sense). At Tui Magic Life Belek the animation stuff were so energetic and fun and seemed to be happy to do what they're doing ( if not then bonus points for great acting abilities) that we found ourselves taking part in some of the activities and it was so much fun.

The food:

• The food was very good and varied. For the 7 days we were there we were happy with out meals every day. There's lots of options to choose from. Love cooking dishes were especially tasty
• The drinks, wines and beers were very good. Whatever we tried we liked everyone will find something for themselves
• Great coffee in the coffee house. Comes with beautiful mugs too

The stuff:

• Everyone was very nice helpful and professional. We didn't have one negative experience throughout our stay.
• My boyfriend scratched his knee a bit while playing football and while it was nothing serious he did receive some help from the pool life guard who was really nice and helpful

The room:

• The room was well equipped and clean. The bathroom was great with no weird mold or rust damage you can sometimes find at hotels. The water pressur was great
• The only downside is the rather poor sound insulation of the rooms. But as we stayed mostly outside of the room it was fine. We slept with earplugs in and were fine at night

All in all, we had a great time at TUI Magic Life Belek and would be happy to return ❤️

We had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday! From start to finish, all the staff were polite, friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The cleaners did an amazing job, and everywhere was kept spotlessly clean. There was a fantastic choice of food, and the service was excellent. Gala Night was a lovely evening and a real highlight of our stay. The homemade chocolates in the restaurant were absolutely amazing and a wonderful touch! Wunderbar was great fun, with plenty of seating and a lovely atmosphere. The whole resort was clean and well maintained, and the beach was easily accessible, which was a big bonus. We did experience a small issue during our stay, but this was dealt with swiftly and professionally by Tatiana and her manager. We really appreciated how efficiently they handled the situation and their professional approach. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday with so many positives. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable. We would definitely return and would happily recommend this resort to others! 🌴☀
