Alba Royal

The hotel's concept is outstanding: perfect relaxation, a beautiful and thoughtfully designed environment, endless kindness and attention to detail, and high-quality programs. Every staff member who works to make guests feel welcome deserves heartfelt praise and thanks. Special thanks to Isa as well! July 2026 – András, Hungary 🇭🇺

Only from there. Excellent hotel, very deliciously fed and sung. Clean beach, friendly staff (in English, they say someone understands a little Russian. There's WiFi and an interpreter, you won't miss it), a huge selection of entertainment, you won't miss it. Most tourists are German, Russians also come there. A slight downside is the decimated rooms, separate mattresses on the double bed, room cleaning leaves much to be desired (you can tip the cleaner and already sucks at cleaning and replenishing the minibar). Ignore the wish to settle higher, no congratulations on the DR. And the fact that the next hotel has a flamingo and can't get near it ) Tips bartenders and waiters, enough to brighten up the vacation. All prices are in euros, but accept dollars and liras and somewhere even rubles.

A very enjoyable stay at the Alba Royal. Hotel had everything that we needed, the location was good, facilities very good and staff were excellent. Would definitely stay there again. Read below for more details. Location - just outside of Side in an area mainly including resort hotels. allocated directly on a very nice, long and clean beach. Very close to multiple shopping arcades and a few restaurants. Easy and cheap dolmus ride to Side. Facilities Our room which was a superior sea view room as larger than expected, comfy bed and aircon that worked. We had a whirlpool bath which was a bit problematic (it ate my swimming costume) but happily, the staff recovered it later! Pool and Sunbeds The swimming pool is massive. Sunbeds all around the pool area but generally all taken up by 9am with reserved towels. Lots more free sunbeds on the hotel’s section of the beach so not really an issue. There is a bar by the pool and near to the beach. The hotels also had a large games room which included a 10 pin bowling track! I would highly recommend the spa and hammam experience which was just great. The sauna, steam room and hammam were free to use and we had massages and other treatments which were excellent. Food Varied and plentiful at the main buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Something different every day and absolutely loads of salads, vegetables and fruit options. Many different meats and fish on offer. Breakfast was probably the best meal as the choices were very varied. Only thing we didn’t like was the wine options. Red, white or rose and none of it very nice. Activities Seemed to be something going on every day and evening, although this wasn’t really our thing so we didn’t join in. Staff Very friendly and helpful. Hardly anyone spoke English which other reviewers have commented on but we ma agent be understood and received good service. FYI, almost 100% of guests were German and most of the staff seemed to speak the language.
