We stayed at the Alhambra Palace Hotel for the first two weeks in May in room 6511. This was our second time at the hotel having stayed there in January 2014. We were a bit apprehensive of what to expect after reading reviews from the end of last year and the beginning of this year but it seemed we had worried for nothing. We arrived in the late evening to be greeted by Taner on reception who was very nice and spoke good English. Check in was straight forward and we were able to get some drinks at the lobby bar and food from the evening Bistro Our room was overlooking the pool and on the second day we were greeted with fruit and drinks as a surprise. Our house keeper Raziya always made sure we had clean towels, toiletries and bedding as required and the mini bar man kept our fridge stocked with beer, water and soft drinks, as well as tea and coffee There were multiple places to eat during the day depending what you were wanting and your location. Apart from the main restaurant, there were food outlets adjacent the pool serving various fast foods, pide, ice cream, fruit and waffles, a restaurant on the beach serving pasta, salads and fresh fruit, as well as meals from a set menu cooked to your request in the open kitchen. Then there was the evening Bistro that served hot food throughout the night which was next to the patisserie that served various cakes and sweets as well as sandwiches. We found all food to be of a good quality and pleasantly served/displayed. All the bars in the hotel offered the same drinks menus, whether it be beer, spirits, soft drinks, tea/coffee or cocktails. Again all were of good quality and served to your needs. All bar and waiting staff were attentive in their work when serving but special thanks to Aykut for the spectacular cocktail creations and his professional manner in the Lobby Bar at night. The pool area is vast and kept well maintained. There were several life guards on duty each day covering all areas for safety. The grounds were also well looked after and a credit to the gardeners. The animation team always kept guests entertained during the day and the pool parties and outdoor evening disco light show were an added bonus. Mini disco and evening shows took place in the outdoor amphitheater. There is a fun fair in the evening that both adults and children can use which I must admit looked in excellent condition. All rides were brightly lit and controlled by staff that we’re always vigilant while the rides were operating We booked our holiday through Tui and the rep Daniel was always available each morning for a chat or update on things. Although the hotel is on the extremities of the resort area, there are regular local buses that can take you to Side and Manavgat that can be caught next to the clock tower outside the hotel. There is also a small shopping centre near on with a Migros supermarket and pharmacy where it is convenient to shop. Finally I come to the Alhambra staff. What can we say. Every member of
