Royal Alhambra Palace

Summary: This hotel is a suitable option for families with children, thanks to its spacious rooms, friendly staff, and ample pool/water park facilities. However, due to the nature of the sea, it may not be the right choice for sea lovers. Detailed Commentary: I stayed in a standard room for 7 nights at the end of June. The hotel lobby is large, cool, and elegantly decorated. The rooms are quite spacious; they can comfortably accommodate 3 adults and one child. A folding bed is being brought for the child. Central ventilation is available, but the size of the room limits the cooling performance of the air conditioner. This situation can cause problems, especially for those staying during July and August. After reading reviews from the Eid al-Adha period, I had lowered my expectations, but since the hotel wasn't crowded during my stay, I didn't experience any problems with housekeeping or food service. As the number of guests increased, the restaurant's capacity (number of buffets and tables) was increased proportionally. The food was as expected, definitely not bad. Grilled red meat (beef/lamb) was consistently served at dinner. The variety and quality of offerings increased in parallel with the number of guests. The syrup-soaked desserts weren't bad (there was no pistachio baklava), but they could be better. The cheeses at breakfast are varied and of good quality. Freshly squeezed orange juice was chargeable. I didn't like the tea; a hotel in this segment should always have freshly brewed tea available. We usually ate lunch at the snack restaurants on the beach and by the pool. The menu at the beach is limited. Main courses (kebab/hamburger/meatballs) are served by waiters. The meat doner kebab was excellent. The cheesecake and rice pudding served on the beach were delightful. The best drinkable tea was also at the seaside restaurant. In terms of beverages, carbonated soft drinks are served as premixes, and some fruit juices are served from cans. Water is readily available everywhere; it's served in 1.5-liter plastic bottles in restaurants and 330 ml plastic bottles elsewhere, and it's always cold. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The water park is adequate and fun for children. The number and size of the pools are quite good. Deniz, on the other hand, was a disappointment for me. The fine sand and shallow water are nice, but the rocks that rise to the surface as you go further in make swimming difficult. I went parasailing during my vacation, and while looking down from above, I noticed that the Çolaklı beach is generally rocky. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it to sea lovers.

​From the very first approach to the Royal Alhambra Palace, the truly magnificent and impressive backdrop of this resort reveals itself, captivating you immediately! 🏰 The hotel is an absolute dream, completely designed in Moorish and Oriental style. 🌟🕌 Upon our arrival, we were incredibly warmly welcomed by the reception in the hotel lobby. With the words "Feel at home," we were greeted – a gesture that laid the foundation for a perfectly wonderful stay and made us feel immediately welcome and secure. 💖✨ I spent an absolutely unforgettable time there from May 18 to June 2, 2026. ☀️✈️ Since I love Oriental dance and this enchanting music, I found a place in this resort that perfectly reflects my passion for dance. ✨🎶 My absolute highlight was being awarded "Miss Alhambra," which suddenly made me well-known throughout the resort! 👑🏆 It was a great show with four participants – it was a lot of fun to take on this challenge together with the other guests. As recognition for this success, I received an official, ceremonial certificate from the Stone Group, a medal, and a bottle of champagne on May 26, 2026! 📜🏅🍾 The certificate was officially signed by the Administration Manager and the Entertainment Manager. ✍️🎩 I also particularly remember my very nice souvenir photo with the Entertainment Manager, which perfectly captures this moment! 📸✨ In this show, I was allowed to shine on stage, which I have been doing with a passionate heart for almost 20 years. 🎭❤️ It was an indescribable feeling to captivate and excite the audience with my Oriental dance! That this years of experience was so reflected by the audience was an absolutely professional experience for me. Since I love show business above all and it brings me great joy to dance directly with the audience, I can very well imagine actively supporting the animation team of the Royal Alhambra Palace with my energy and passion! 🚀😍 Right at the beginning of the vacation, I presented my passion on the pool stage – the team and the guests were thrilled! 🏊‍♂️👏💃 I acted completely freely in the style of a professional spontaneous improvisation: The animation team played a variety of music pieces that I was able to interpret confidently thanks to my many years of experience. 🌟 The parties at the hotel are all beautiful and each one is an experience in its own right. 🎉🥳 A special highlight was the White Party, where the DJ saw me directly and called out "Hello, Silke!" through the microphone, to which I warmly greeted him back. I brought the dance floor to life with joy, so much so that my shoes were worn out by the end – which did not stop me, but rather I continued barefoot! 🤍🎧👠🦶 At the foam party, the DJ also called me directly to the center to energize the audience – a vibe that was wonderfully captured in the memory videos! 🎥❤️ I also played with my veils on the beach and right by the sparkling sea, which moved beautifully in the wind. I was very appreciatively approached by the other vacationers and was even frequently filmed, which made me very happy! 🌊💬 At the beach bar, I also experienced a fantastic evening with a live band playing: There, in my simple, self-sewn green outfit, I gave an improvised oriental performance and celebrated together with the entire animation team – an absolutely exhilarating experience! 🏝️🍹🕺 A fixed part for me were the beautiful club dance moments, whose choreography has absolutely thrilled me every time! It was a pleasure for me to join the animation team and to get into this great dance. However, a special highlight was a day when I consciously chose a creative interpretation: When the hit "Düm Tek Tek" was playing, I presented myself in a belly dance costume and offered the guests a powerful, original choreography right by the pool. The animation team saw me and gave me a thumbs up in recognition – a brilliant moment, as I have been using this song in my own performances for ages! 🎵🕺👏👍 Through these shows, a warm connection developed with the other vacationers, allowing me to enjoy countless beautiful encounters and stimulating conversations throughout the rest of my vacation! 💬❤️🫂 A particularly lovely experience was getting to know the entire Turkish and German animation team. It was great to see how they created so much joy and enthusiasm in the resort through their diverse range of activities and playful handling of colorful hip scarves! 💃✨ The evening shows in the hotel's large amphitheater are breathtaking. 🎪🎬 A particularly lucky find was Lamia from the German guest services, with whom I became friends right away. 🫂❤️ We not only exchanged wonderful ideas, but while my family and I were sharing our positive feedback for Lamia and the hotel, a particularly beautiful moment occurred: We spontaneously danced together while sitting on the lounge chair – a wonderful memory that was captured in a video! Additionally, we talked about the impressive architecture, and I fulfilled my wish to use this beautiful place for a personal memory video. So, under the magnificent, huge chandelier, I danced a spontaneous improvisation with my double veil – a very personal, magical moment that I captured for myself. 💃✨🕯️ The food was fantastic, super delicious, and a truly magnificent feast, especially for the feast of sacrifice. 🍽️🥩 The entire hotel staff was incredibly attentive. The chefs and waiters provided excellent service, and we took many heartfelt memory photos with the friendly waiters! 👨‍🍳🤵📸 Additionally, the hotel offers a dreamlike backdrop for priceless photos with its beautiful Moorish architecture. 📸🏰 We had a fantastic photo shoot with two amazing hotel photographers who executed it perfectly! ✨📷 An emotional highlight for us was my aunt's wedding day, which we celebrated comfortably with champagne. It was beautiful to see how this wonderful hotel provides the perfect setting for a family to come together so intensely! 🥂❤️✨ We also experienced dreamlike moments outside the hotel: A highlight was the trip to the Green Canyon, which we booked directly at the hotel – an experience that will remain a wonderful memory for us! 🏞️🛥️⚓️ Additionally, the rooms were always very nice and clean. A big compliment also goes to the service: Our minibar was replenished every day, and the staff member was incredibly friendly, as he admired and appreciated my handcrafted costumes! 🛏️✨ I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone! ❤️🇩🇪 Best regards Silke Piehler

Unfortunately, we were seriously disappointed on our first day at the Royal Alhambra Palace. We were given a duplex room on the 6th floor. The upper part of the room is incredibly hot, and the air conditioning is absolutely ineffective at cooling that area. Even though we never removed the energy card from the room, the room did not cool down even after hours. Sleeping upstairs in this heat is almost impossible. Even more upsetting was that we had to find two insects in the bed upstairs. Encountering such a sight on the first day of our holiday raised serious questions about hygiene. Additionally, there is no air conditioning or ventilation in the corridors. Especially during the summer months, the hotel's common areas are oppressively hot. I would expect much better room comfort, air conditioning, and hygiene from a hotel of this level and at these prices. I hope management resolves these issues as soon as possible, as they are seriously negatively impacting the guest experience. Unfortunately, our first day at Royal Alhambra Palace was very disappointing. We were assigned a duplex room on the 6th floor. The upstairs area of ​​the room is extremely hot, and the air conditioning is simply not able to cool it down. Even though we never removed the electricity key card and kept the air conditioning running continuously, the room never became comfortably cool. Sleeping upstairs was almost impossible because of the heat. Even more concerning, we found and killed two bugs inside the upstairs bed. Discovering insects in the bed on the very first day raised serious concerns about the hotel's cleanliness and hygiene standards. In addition, there is no air conditioning or ventilation in the corridors, making the common areas uncomfortably hot during the summer. For a hotel in this price range and category, I expected much better room comfort, climate control, and hygiene. I hope the management addresses these issues quickly, as they significantly affect the overall guest experience.
