TUI BLUE Budoni

Ottima struttura. Personale fantastico

Acabamos de voltar de uma semana aqui e, apesar de termos nos divertido, definitivamente há MUITO espaço para melhorias. Vou dividir em seções para que fique mais fácil de ler. Tenha em mente que o hotel foi assumido recentemente pela tui blue. Quartos: Os quartos são muito básicos e carecem de muitas coisas. Na verdade, pagamos por um superior e muitos outros moradores disseram que não havia diferença entre o superior e o normal e também faltavam produtos de higiene pessoal. Como você pode ver pelas fotos, o nosso estava infestado de formigas. É uma pena que eu não possa postar vídeos para mostrar a extensão da infestação. Demos o benefício da dúvida à recepção e fomos até eles na primeira noite em que chegamos lá, quando voltamos para o nosso quarto e havia muitas coisas em nossas malas e bolsas e eles nos disseram que resolveriam. Não foi resolvido e, felizmente, meu pai conseguiu impedir. Ficou bem por alguns dias e então eles voltaram, mais uma vez em todas as nossas coisas. Fui até a recepção, disse que eles mandariam alguém para resolver o problema e, mais uma vez, não foi feito. Obviamente, a manutenção precisa de algum trabalho. Restaurante e comida: Na primeira noite, a comida estava adorável e muito melhor do que em outros hotéis em que estivemos. Conforme a semana foi passando, piorou um pouco progressivamente. Há pouca ou nenhuma seleção de frutas frescas pela manhã ou coisas do tipo granola e, em seguida, seu café da manhã inglês cozido médio. Muitas vezes, víamos pratos da refeição anterior e até mesmo da noite anterior sendo reutilizados no dia seguinte. Muitos membros da equipe comendo antes dos residentes reais, o que eu nunca tinha visto antes. Algumas coisas eram incríveis e as sobremesas e sorvetes eram adoráveis, mas, mais uma vez, há muito espaço para melhorias. Quero mencionar que a jovem (não entendi o nome dela) que estava trabalhando lá no café da manhã, almoço e jantar todos os dias, junto com o rapaz, foi absolutamente incrível e se esforçou muito e foi super educada e tornou nossa experiência gastronômica muito melhor. Nós não fomos ao a la carte, mas todos com quem falamos disseram que era exatamente a mesma comida que estava sendo servida no restaurante e não havia nada de especial nisso. Hotel em geral: Havia muitas atividades diferentes para fazer e os representantes do BlueF!t foram ótimos, especialmente a moça. A loja no local é ridiculamente cara e só vende souvenirs, o que é uma pena, pois é uma área muito remota e teria sido bom ter um pequeno supermercado com lanches e mais disponíveis. O entretenimento foi bom e os representantes foram legais, estávamos ansiosos para o bingo, mas não foi feito porque houve alguns problemas na semana anterior com bolas faltando, etc. Acho que não conhecemos uma pessoa que não tenha sido picada e todos os cinco que fomos fomos picados em pedaços por mosquitos (não é culpa do hotel, apenas algo para ficar atento) e muitas vespas ao redor, o que não foi um incômodo. Foi muito bom e limpo em todos os lugares e os faxineiros trabalham muito duro para manter o lugar arrumado, o que é uma vantagem. As bebidas eram boas, mas não muito fortes, mas nunca são nesses hotéis, no entanto

We stayed at a Tui Blue hotel in Sardinia. It was called Tui Blue Boduni. The hotel was very pretty and we were happy when we arrived. The problems came at night, about 2/3 in the morning I was woken up by a thumping sound. Music. Extremely loud music. When I got up I could hear it even more loudly. It was music coming from an open air night club that was just across the road from the hotel! We mentioned this to our tui rep and they weren’t really bothered that we had been kept up all night from the music! They offered to move us about four doors down from our room. This would have made no difference to the sound so we declined. We were kept up with the music every night there! The music went on until about 4 in the morning every night. All you could hear was the thumping base of club music. Most of the staff seemed tired and moody. The food was ok but the canteen was very busy and they didn’t have enough staff so it was hard to get any drinks severed to you. There is no transport into the town so you are in the middle of no where with nothing much to do. If they put you towards the back of the hotel the beach is more like a 10 minute walk rather than a 2 minute. The beach is beautiful but again ruined by loud party music from the other hotels. After being kept up all night we would go to the beach and then have to sit and listen to a man shout through a megaphone and loud music from the hotel next door. The weather was bad so when we couldn’t go to the beach there wasn’t much else to do as there wasn’t any transport. Car hire is very expensive! The transfer back was awful. Driver could not drive a coach and was on phone the whole time. very moody and grumpy we felt uncomfortable! When we returned home we went into Tui to complain. We weren’t really made to feel any better by the lady who served us. All she kept mentioning is that is wasn’t sold as a luxury hotel. However, we feel that it is presented as an up market tui blue hotel and the basic idea of a hotel is that you have a nice place to sleep! We didn’t sleep for the whole week! This was supposed to be our honeymoon.

Our stay at the TUI Blue Budoni surpassed our every expectation. It was incredible value, the food was exceptional - traditional Sardinian cuisine, plenty of variety. Different every evening with three varying types of pasta (tomato, fragola, carbonara, ravioli, lasagne, vongole to name a few!) the mussels were the best I’ve ever had. Sucking pig was unbelievable. Lots of salad and vegetarian options, plus kid friendly and obviously exquisite croissants for brekkie. Local wines were delicious and high quality. What really stood out for us was the friendliness of the staff, and their pride for excellent service. Try the shaken espresso at the beach bar - best coffee ever! The pool was never overly busy, always sunbeds available. The beach is sandy shingle so take flip flops / sliders. The sea was as warm as a bath. Stay in the clear blue parts, the darker parts are rocky. Again plenty of sunbeds at the beach at all times. The Pizza restaurant was a lovely change from the buffet and again the staff were happy, cheerful and keen to please. There is also a food truck at the pool serving burgers, hot dogs, club sandwiches and the most flavoursome salads ever! This is super convenient if you want to stay at the pool all day, which we did for at least three days of our stay. The location is beautiful and the rooms had plenty of storage and housekeeping every day was appreciated and they kept our room very clean. The air con in our room was brilliant and we were grateful for it! The climate was warm (30C-32C) but there was a lovely breeze most days. Lots of activities if you want them - yoga, aqua aerobics, pool basketball (super fun), quiz nights, karaoke, bingo…etc. We went with our children who are 13 & 12 and they had a great time. We did an organised day trip to Corsica, which we loved even though there was a lot of travel involved (2 hrs on the coach plus 50 min ferry) but worth it. Alice, Claudia and Francesca the TUI reps were a delight and always happy to help. They really made us feel at home and put us at ease whenever we had questions. If you are keen to explore, turn left at the beach and walk along following the orange rope, to Port Ottiolu (30 minutes) a fantastic harbour with plenty of cafes, a pharmacy and delicious gelato. Last year we spent more than double what this trip cost on a 5 star hotel in Mallorca but we all preferred Budoni. The private area at the beach and the small and quiet nature of the hotel really appealed to us. We loved the authenticity of the resort and all the families were very friendly. The hotel has a great vibe. You won’t be disappointed.

The hotel is typical villette style accomodation quite basic for 4 star and there is room for improvement. Although cleaning service was very good. The outdoor table and chairs were fine but indoor furniture lack of seating needs improvement. The superior rooms are not big enough for anymore than 2 people. There needs to be better facilities for washing and drying clothes on site and a clothes airer placed in rooms to use outside the ladder type airers are not sufficient for drying clothes ok for swimwear or socks thats all. Moving on to the dining, dining was very high standard given the amount of people using 1 buffet restaurant. In fact i would say one of the best buffet restaurants we have experienced so far. Also serving quality wines some of which were superb, which we have not experienced at any of the 3 other all inclusives we have stayed at previously. We liked the fact that effort and care had been given in this respect to give hotel residents a true flavour of local food and wine. Please dont change this as we feel this is a real positive for the hotel to keep up the food and drink standards. If the same effort could be applied to the rooms it would be perfect. The location is remote car hire would help to get around as taxis are very expensive just a few miles into town. Walks in the area are very scenic take suitable walking sandals to enjoy the area and coastal views. The beach is very nice but could do with a bit of a clean up here and there theres a fair bit of seaweed but we did experience high winds so that could be why. We like the fact its kept traditional not been spoilt by tourism no mcdonalds to be seen. Hotel could lay on a courtesy mini bus for a few euros to take guests into town as theres no bus service until approx 20th June, we were going home 22nd and didnt notice any bus service. Seen some negative comments about food and breakfast, take no notice. This hotel serves fresh pastries from a local bakery blackcurrant croissants were superb. Just one thing to mention was the coffee, this needs improvement, it wasn't great. Overall a well managed hotel and restaurant with a few improvements would make it even better. Again please don't change the great traditional food and drinks.

This hotel was lovely, but a couple of negatives to start The rooms are small. I was on my own so fine for me. I had an interconnecting door which I could hear the people next door. If they had been noisy this would have been unpleasant. The beach is not how it looks on marketing. It's shingle and the sea is full of seaweed. Hotel pool area had plenty of sun loungers and is kept clean. The bar is open from 10am for drinks, ice cream and a water machine is there too. The food truck sells hot dogs, burgers, salad, fruit etc so worth using The restaurant food was Soo good. The little salads, the fresh pasta, the lamb and wow the desserts. You won't be disappointed. The bar area is where evening entertainment is. Not all drinks included, but lots are included in the package. The staff work so hard, and everywhere is clean and tidy
