Good - Beautiful place. Staff very helpful. Food is excellent and drinks! Fresh squeezed juice is great! Amazing beach with chairs and cold water in the fridge.
Bad - No air conditioning in the hotel hallways, except lobby. No bathroom in the lobby. Indoor pool closed. Smoking everywhere you go outside! Pool, cafe, anywhere outside! Not many options for non smokers! Not much entertainment at night. Most people speak German. Only one elevator on each side. Wifi is terrible! Paid for one day wifi, still the same problem! Over all nice hotel, not sure if I would give 5 stars?

Lovely adults only hotel where the staff can't do enough for you, it is spot less, there is a good variety of food and the entertainment team, especially Omen, are great. Halil in the restaurant remembered us from 3 years ago and is always smiling and happy. Great hotel this was our 3rd visit!

Great hotel & lovely area!

This hotel is great. The staff are wonderful and friendly, the food is excellent and the beach was fantastic. It's main clientele are German and the staff assume everyone is german - not a problem but can get tiring. I came to have some peace and quiet and I got it. Very relaxing and a beautiful area. Would return though not in high season as I prefer less busy times.

Great place to relax

Best thing is that it's Adults Only. We didn't realise how peaceful and relaxing the Alba Royal was until we joined the 'beach party' (which incidentally was great) held on one evening when all 3 Alba hotels in the area got together. It was only then, surrounded by children and their (mostly!) doting parents, that it occurred to us how peaceful the Royal was. Not that we don't like children - but ours are now 18 and 22, and if you don't have to listen to other peoples' children's screams, whining and crying why would you?

I believe the age criteria is 15 , so families with older children (but not quite adult) are not excluded but the pool isn't taken up with parents teaching their little ones to swim or bobbing around all day with babies in rubber rings. Equally, the all-inclusive dining was targeted at adults and there were no children picking food up and putting it back in the serving containers again as we have seen in other all-inclusive hotels that actively encourage children. All the food was excellent

THEY REALLY MUST SORT OUT THEIR INTERNET CONNECTION. We had no wi-fi (or internet) for the whole week we were there. Reception staff just said \"tomorrow\" or raised their eyebrows unhelpfully when asked when it might be back. This was one of the reasons we chose this hotel over others, so a really big disappointment particularly as a couple of us were waiting on email confirmation of jobs etc. It came back on the day we were leaving - too late for us.

Exceeded some expectations disappointed others

On arrival we were not pleased to learn that the superior room was not available for the first night. We were offered a standard room or a superior in a sister hotel. They did their best to put us in the other hotel but we we would not have it. When we asked how they would compensate us for the inferior room for the night they offered us a bottle of wine which was unacceptable as we had paid an inclusive price.

The reception staff had poor English but the customer relations manager was fluent and as helpful as she could be.

On the first night we were horrified to hear how loud the hotel entertainment was. This stopped at midnight then after that and until 4am we heard the boom boom of other hotels' entertainment. This was a total shock to us as we had hoped to have a \"relaxing\" holiday but it was more like being in Ibiza in July/August party season. This happened every night except Sunday. The noise was not easy to ignore if you wanted to sleep. There was also noise during the day in the form of staff entertainment programme which started at 10am with a hei de hei style trumpet announcement and various other announcements on the PA during the day. It was not the style of hotel we had expected.

We did not use the outdoor pool once during our 2 week stay as the sunbeds were reserved from before 7am. The hotel does have a policy of no reserving before 8am which was not enforced and we did not want to squeeze in between sunbeds with towels. We used the indoor pool.

IMPOSSIBLE

many great features but not the front office. The hotel manager for the front desk should be fired or retrained. Extra soap \"impossible\" Extra towel \"impossible\". Towel for the gym, \"impossible, can not be done\"!

All inclusive does not mean 'all' at this resort.

Everything else was great, room, food, staff besides front desk, setting, warm sea....okay the hard booze tasted like it was made in somebody's garage but mostly everything else was great.

Would not go back because the front desk treated you like kids or they did not trust you. Not sure which one. Many other great places to select from that deliver the entire package.....gotta love competition!

Great all-inclusive hotel

Food was delicious, I enjoyed all those fresh vegetables and fruit. This is an adult only hotel, which I loved because it was quiet and relaxing, there were a lot of older people, and they still had a lot of fun it looked like. Staff was great. One thing I found kind of strange is that the AC worked only during certain hours, maybe it was because it was late May and they tried to conserve energy, but it was hot to sleep under those warm blankets with no AC, I never asked them if that was all year round though.

Nice Hotel, but not 5 stars

A nice stay at a beach front hotel.
This was our first 'short haul' all inclusive - we've stayed in Mexico and the Caribbean previously.
I don't really think the food or entertainment was quite five stars, but the room was lovely (apart from the air con not working 24 hours).
Staff are all lovely (as were the other guests)

Great for a quiet break

Arrived to find a very unprofessional receptionist who never gave us an identity wrist band, called for the bell boy, or told us which direction our room was. Found it eventually. He was a young lad and very charming, but he was obviously given the push as we never saw him again. From then on we found all the staff throughout the hotel very professional and friendly. There is a great array of dishes for every course, and I defy anyone who says the food is not good. It was all delicious. Outside facilities are kept clean. Had to grab your sun bed and lay your towel each morning. Poolside bar is great, with afternoon snacks, fresh pancakes, waffles, and a good selection of ice creams.
There is also another little cafe for afternoon tea and cake. Beautiful long beach to walk along, and soft sand. Overall a great location for a relaxing holiday. Have never understood why the turkish shopkeepers sell the same items as their other twelve neighbours. It is over saturated with shops selling t shirts, shoes, and very tacky gifts. I would like to see more of the local crafts. The pottery is stunning, but have never found a trip sightseeing to see it made, or to see how the rural and local people have lived.

Nice Resort, mostly over 50s

This resort was great and highly relaxing. I will reiterate what other reviewers have said by saying that most of the clientele is over 50 couples. There are some younger folks, and we had a great time (we are 30-somethings), but didn't meet many peers.
The staff is wonderful, open and friendly. Do be aware that everyone speaks German here. Luckily, we had enough German to get by with the staff, and the management speaks English as well, so it wasn't a problem.
The veiws are wonderful, the food is great (very flavorful, especially considering that it's buffet), and the a la cart restaurants are a nice experience. Enjoy!

Perfect escape from life

My partner and I stayed at the Alba Royal for ten days and we can both honestly say, what a wonderful trip. The staff in the hotel are faultless, the hotel itself is clean, welcoming and beautiful. There is always a wide range of food available however I would say there is a lot of German influence in terms of food, we grew to miss British sausages and beans at breakfast! Other than that, the food was yum. The pool is massive and beautiful, really cold! But refreshing! It gets pretty hot, and that's even in April! So we welcomed the cold water. The drinks available are local brands however not bad and plenty to choose from. The spa facilities are second to none and offer a perfect opportunity to zen out and relax. Outside of the hotel a few minutes walk down, there is a shuttle bus service which cost around 2€ to get a bus to Side, about 20 mins away, beautiful little harbor town with plenty of restaurant and shopping choices. Overall a great holiday and sad to be home!

Nice Hotel - 4 Star not a 5 Star Resort.

Hotel Staff were friendly and welcoming upon arrival, unfortunately when we checked into our room we saw that we had a twin bed instead of double, the hotel staff said to come back to reception the next day to see if they had any more double (French) rooms available for us to move into, this carried on for 3 mornings repeating the same process of having to go to reception and check each morning. In the end we gave up and stayed in the room first allocated and moved the beds together.

The hotel was very clean and the hotel staff were pleasant. The Hotel could do with some refurb work in areas, walls cracking - looking damp etc. but overall I would rate it 4 star not a 5 star hotel.

The hotel was also for the more senior holiday makers with over 90% of the hotel guest being 50+ (we were only of the only couples under 30)

The hotel also had a games room however we later found out that you had to pay extra if you wanted to play snooker, bowling, arcade games which I thought was strange as we had paid an All Inclusive package.

The pool bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Good variety of food in all the restaurants.

I would recommend this Hotel for couples 50+

A good mix of 4 and 5 stars.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The staff was courteous and professional and the accomodations were clean and comfortable. Being adult only gives the place a \"couple's\" quietness in a ultra relaxing atmosphere. The food was ok. I say ok because it was presented beautifully but all of the meat dishes were a bit overcooked. The animation team was awesome and great fun to watch.

The bad: Mini zoo outside our balcony with obnoxiously loud roosters giving us 5 o'clock wake-up calls every day. I had some laundry done and I think they mistook my request for wanting to buy a washing machine because 6 small bags cost me 175 outrageous Euros.

All in all, I give the experience a thumbs up and recommend to other couples looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean. Just be sure to pack your ear plugs and checkbook.

Alba Royal: отдых от суеты и шума

Отдыхали в этом отеле вдвоем с мужем с 2-го по 13-е сентября 2017 года. Отдых от суеты и шума вполне удался. Особых проблем от незнания турецкого и немецкого языков не испытывали. Все сотрудники отеля, начиная от рецепшн и заканчивая горничными, старались понять и решить все вопросы. При том очень оперативно. Кухня нам понравилась, достаточно разнообразный ассортимент блюд: на любой вкус и взгляд, без очередей и в достатке. По сезону были представлены фрукты и овощи. Питание организовано весь день и в ресторанах и в барах на очень хорошем уровне. В течение нашего пребывания было проведено (без лишней помпезности) три тематических ужина, о которых мы догадались по флагам (турецкий и итальянский), а также по большему содержанию морских блюд – средиземноморский. Вино, пиво и т.п., как во всех турецких отелях – без изыска, но и вполне приемлемое. Весь день (с 11-00 до 17-00) можно лакомиться без ограничения мороженым. Да и какие ограничения!, если в отеле, в основном, контингент за 50 и без детей. Каждый вечер, на час-полтора, живая музыка в исполнении, как мне показалось, местных групп. Рядом с отелем для прогулок имеется замечательно красивый парк. Отель оставил приятные впечатления своей неспешностью, спокойствием и тишиной.

Utrolig flott hotell der du virkelig kan slappe av. Maten er elegant og smaksrik. Vanskelig og finne solsenger da alle bare setter håndklær på morgenen og ikke bruker plassen. Litt gretten servitører men om du tipser litt så for du utrolig bra service. Reiser gjerne tilbake. Verdt den høye prisen.

Totale Entspannung, direkt am Stand, sehr Sauber

Lange gesucht und zum glück gefunden. Die positiven Details bei den anderen Rezessionen werde ich versuche nicht zu wiederholen.
War ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt um einfach mal von der Arbeitswelt runter zu kommen. Ist zwar für Junge Singles etwas schräg das Hotel zu buchen, aber auch hier findet man ein paar nette Bekanntschaften mit denen man Spaß haben kann. Hotel liegt direkt angrenzend an Alba Queen und Resort wo man auch an verschiedenen Tagen abends bei der Strand Disko abfeiern kann. Auch mit den Animations Leuten kann man Spaß haben. Gibt meistens Samstags und Dienstags (je nach dem) noch eine Fahrt abends in die Lokalen Clubs von Side (ca. München P1 Preise, aber hat Spaß gemacht). Alles im allem, nichts was beim All inkl. fehlt. An Cocktails ist so ziemlich alles geboten was man von den Standards kennt, Essen am Buffet ist abwechslungsreich und sehr gut. Kellner und Personal an sich ist sehr unterschiedlich, gibt einige die wirklich dahinter sind das Gesamtkonzept zu halten, jedoch merkt man bei einigen ein gewisses Desinteresse den Gästen gegenüber. Hier ist aber die Hotelleitung sehr dahinter bei solchen Kritiken. Für alle Internet süchtigen --> Hotel Wlan ist instabil aber man kann das nötigste machen. Für mich war es mal entspanend, dass das Telefon nicht die ganze Zeit vibriert ;)
Ihr wollte richtige Entspannung gemischt mit ein bisschen Action und nette Unterhaltungen --> book it ;)

Ruhiges Hotel, mit Strandnähe

Das Personal war superfreundlich und sofort Hilfsbereit. Beim Essen gibt es ein paar kleinere Abzüge, aber es war genießbar. Das Hotel besticht durch eine Vielzahl an Ruheständlern die um 06:00 die Liegen reservieren und erst gegen Nachmittag kommen. Echt Nervig, haben aber immer einen Platz bekommen. Das Angebot im Hotel an Läden und Info Möglichkeiten ist groß und völlig ausreichend. Es wird sehr viel English geredet aber die können auch etwas Deutsch.

Osterwoche 2015

Zwei der drei Spezialitäten-Restaurants waren - wohl saisonbedingt - noch gar nicht offen. Für eine Woche Aufenthalt bot das normale Buffet-Angebot jedoch ausreichende Variationen an guten bis sehr guten Speisen. Insbesondere für diejenigen Tage, welche sich wetter-bedingt nicht für den Strand oder Pool-Bereich eignen, bietet das Wellness-Angebot eine tolle Alternative. Das Hotel-Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Die Räumlichkeiten sind so ausgestattet, dass man sich überall zum Verweilen willkommen fühlt. Leider war das Internet extrem langsam und hatte immer wieder Aussetzer. Wer zum Ausruhen ins Alba Royal kommt, findet hier einen tollen Platz; selbst im Hotel eigenen Strand-Bereich.
