What is a TUI BLUE hotel?
TUI Blue hotels are designed with families in mind and offer a variety of facilities and activities to help families spend quality time together on holiday. With large pools, extensive entertainment packages and varied dining options, they also include complimentary kids’ clubs (grouped by age) for children from 3 to 12 years.
For those looking for slightly more sophisticated dining options, five-star TUI Blue Sensatori hotels offer all the benefits of a TUI Blue resort with additional a la carte restaurants included in your package.

What’s included in the price of a TUI BLUE hotel stay?
The exact package will vary depending on the resort, however, most TUI BLUE holidays are all-inclusive, including meals and snacks at the main buffet restaurant, as well as soft drinks and a selection of alcoholic options. Many TUI Blue stays also include one complimentary visit to the a la carte restaurant on site, and depending on the resort, this could be one other choice (usually the Taverna) or a selection of cuisines to choose from. Reassuringly, responsible drinking is encouraged at these family resorts, so you can expect some limitations on the amount of alcoholic drinks served.
Most TUI Blue resorts offer an extensive entertainment package including free kids' clubs, sports facilities and evening entertainment, although some specific activities (such as sports and equipment hire) may incur an additional charge.

Do all TUI BLUE hotels feature kids’ clubs?
While TUI Blue hotels are designed for families, they also understand that grown-ups deserve a bit of a break too. With each resort offering a range of childcare options, from a baby creche (chargeable) to free kids’ clubs for children aged 3-11, they’re a great way for adults to get some alone time while children make friends and enjoy age-appropriate activities.
Teenagers aren’t ignored either, with a less structured Hangout for children aged 12-16 providing some independence and the chance to meet other teens during their stay

What’s the best TUI BLUE hotel for families in Greece?
The TUI Blue Lagoon Princess is our top pick for the best TUI Blue resort in Greece. While it doesn’t come cheap and is in a relatively quiet location, the beachside setting, fun splash pools, excellent kids’ clubs and choice of dining options make it a great all-rounder for the majority of families.
Will the current fuel shortages affect my 2026 holiday?
Not necessarily.
According to the Department for Transport:
There is no current need for passengers to change their travel plans. UK airlines buy jet fuel in advance, and airports maintain stocks to support their resilience. The government is working closely with the aviation industry to monitor risks and minimise disruption to passengers.
"If your flight is cancelled, you have clear legal rights, including the right to a full refund or re-routing.
TUI have released the following statement:
We know you may be feeling a little uneasy after recent headlines, and we want to reassure anyone travelling over May half term that they can look forward to their holiday with confidence with TUI. We have good visibility on fuel supplies and are operating our holiday programme as planned, with no flights being cancelled due to fuel shortages.
"Our careful planning across fuel, flying and hotel capacity means we’re able to continue offering great value and stable prices – with no fuel surcharges added by TUI. The price you see is the price you pay, and all TUI package holidays are ABTA & ATOL protected, giving peace of mind from booking right through to returning home.
-Neil Swanson, Managing Director, TUI
How we chose our recommendations
We know that there’s nothing like a personal recommendation so we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find tried and tested recommendations of TUI Blue family resorts in Greece. We then did some online research, looking at the family hotels that had won awards or featured in ‘best choice’ lists, reading expert and customer reviews. Having collated all that information, we then narrowed our list down to the best TUI Blue family hotels you can visit in Greece right now.
