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!

This hotel is great. The staff are wonderful and friendly, the food is excellent and the beach was fantastic. Its 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.

This was a wonderful place for two days of complete rest and two days of looking at ancient sites.

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 excellentTHEY 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.

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.

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!

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.

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)

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.

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!

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!

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+

No guests under 14 so a quiet environment most of the time, except for some late night music and very noisy animation teamBuffet soemtimes a bit limited

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.
