Tui Blue Kalamota Island

Had read mixed reviews on this hotel before out visit, but I can confirm any concerns I had quickly disappeared. The hotel was amazing, the staff were attentive and could not do enough for us. The pool and beach are almost joined which was perfect. Pool bar was a blessing. The rooms were a little dated but had all were wanted and were cleaned daily. Facilities were excellent . Tui staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. We can't wait to return to this beautiful small resort

Unfortunately we were not allowed to dine here as we were not guests which is fine for the hotel but we could not use the sister restaurant either after 5pm Which seemed very odd it was we will take you money daily until 5 and then no more. It looked a fabulous hotel and very short sighted by the management as they could utilise all guests visiting. The other establishment serving food was full of paying guests and indeed some hotel guests (should they be barred from eating elsewhere). The other hotel on the Island was very accommodating

We chose this hotel for a week because of its location on a quiet island a short ferry ride from Dubrovnic,where we had disembarked from a cruise ship .The transfer was good and we arrived at the hotel about 11.00 am.First impressions were very good and got better as time progressed.It is exactly as described and the island is rugged and unspoilt.The hotel sits directly off the sandy beach a short walk from the ferry drop off point.It is set over 2 floors,with the accomadation in seperate blocks up the hill.The surrounding area is hilly,as is most parts of this region.Our room was spacious and comfortable,with everything that you need for a holiday stay.It was overlooking a wooded hillside from the small balcony.It is a peaceful hotel with lovely friendly staff,good selection of all inclusive drinks and a wonderful choice of food.There is also a small shop,a bar and a restaurant a short walk away.There were plenty of very friendlyTui staff for excursions and advice,and the 2 reps from Ireland were brilliant.The entertainment was varied and very enjoyable.Most nights there were plenty of people dancing.If you want a quiet beachside holiday with a very laid back vibe,this is it.Bring walking shoes to explore,flip flops for the beach and dancing shoes for the evenings.It is not really suitable for people with walking or mobility problems because of the terrain and there being no lifts. There is an ATM close to the hotel but beware-I withdrew 50 euros and the charge was about £18 !!

A very good 4* hotel on a quiet unspoilt small island. Don’t take notice of the poor reviews some people just like to complain. The rooms are very clean and modern, the food is good (the seafood is excellent and the squid just melts in your mouth).The drinks are of good quality and generous proportions. The staff are very good generally, (although you may have to get your own drinks at lunchtime). I personally found plenty to do on my holiday, walk round the island 1 day, visit old town Dubrovnik 1 day,Dubrovnik cable car 1 day, boat trip around the neighbouring islands 1 day, also various sports activities canoeing tennis etc, throw in a few rest days/sunbathing and your sorted. There are a lot of steps around the hotel so if you have bad knees etc this may not be the best location for you (do your research). Overall very happy and I hope to return.

A week’s break in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful setting. The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff are all friendly and go above and beyond. The food is amazing , very fresh and the desserts are irresistibly tasty!! Sports (Cristiano), entertainments (Nancy and Eliie) and well being programs are well run. Exercise classes suitable for all fitness levels. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and Cristiano was knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely return!

Just got back from an amazing stay at the island with my mam. Food was good and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Nothing was to much to ask. Hotel was well kept, nice and clean. We also got to experience an incredible sunset at the A la carte restaurant. The hotel is gorgeous on the most beautiful and peaceful island. Will definitely be returning soon. Thank you Tui for our stay.

Hotel situated in a beautiful bay, lovely pool, great staff, food was good, and easy to get served for drinks at bars. Hotel kept very clean and tidy, lots of attention to detail. Room was comfortable, nice view of the bay from bedroom and balcony. Would recommend everything about the place!

I recently returned from Croatia after a 3 day stay in Dubrovnik then a week on Kolocep. I was very anxious having read some recent negative reviews, I now think they were totally unreasonable. We enjoyed the food and the drinks, a very good choice. Staff were super, every cleaner, bar person and TUI staff provided super service and fab activities. If you want a get away from it all week away, this is the place for you but do venture out on the walks as Ana showed us a wonderful restaurant on the other side of the island. Loved yoga with Tristan and walks with Ana, Nick was around to always make sure things were running smoothly. The only down side for me were people that just liked to complain, particularly people that had been on a cruise directly before their stay, they wanted to be waited on hand and foot and flooded the hotel somewhat initially. I would return to Croatia and the islands in a heartbeat, thank you for a beautiful and romantic holiday 💕

Having never stayed a TUI blue resort before I cannot like some of the other reviewers compare it to similar resorts. However I have stayed in a lot of all inclusive hotels across the world and found this to be one of the better ones…. - TUI reps meet you at the airport and accompany you on the bus and subsequent boat, same on the return. - Plentiful travel to Dubrovnik and other islands on the ferry. Watch the 6.50am one as it leaves at more like 6.30! - Good food and drink, always plenty of choice. Some nights better than others. The local night was the best we found. However as others have said poor salad and fruit selection, no show cooking and a few flys to contend with. We didn’t have a problem with the food not being warm enough. - one meal a week at the restaurant. Nice to be served but food no better than the buffet. - Drinks were good, not a long cocktail menu but could get other cocktails which weren’t listed such as a aperol spritz included. - There was a wine tasting which wasn’t really a wine tasting but more wine, snacks and feedback to the manager (nice man). - games room good but could do with some investment (decent darts, cues and English games). The library however is great. We enjoyed; having a beer at the local bar on the pier for a change of scenery, the peaceful pool, spending time in Dubrovnik and on lockrum island, walking to the bar at the other side of the island, walking up past villa rosa to watch the sun set and reading in our egg chairs on our terrace (ground floor rooms).
