Alba Royal Hotel

The hotel has an issue with Polish TV channels; there are only two, and we constantly get a "no signal" message. We have to call every day—sometimes even multiple times a day. A technician fixes it, but the same problem recurs shortly after. There is also an issue with the sun loungers by the pool: they are claimed early in the morning, yet people don't show up until after lunch or only come at the end of the day to collect their things.

Great place. Yusuf is lovely and easy to talk to. Food and accommodation is great as well, cocktails are stunning.

Food and drinks are very good, entertainment is fun and the staff team are lovely. Location is amazing and nice and close to a beautiful beach. All great value as well as the rooms.

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 🇭🇺

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.
