Reviews
On the positive side, the food is decent and the waitstaff provides good service. However, if you are looking for fun and entertainment and you aren't German, I wouldn't recommend this place.
Dining & Food: The food was exceptional. The main buffet ran like clockwork (Breakfast 07:00–10:30, Lunch 12:30–14:00, and Dinner 19:00–21:00). The variety changed daily, and it was a treat to see fresh food cooked right in front of you. The buffet was constantly restocked, and the waiters were incredibly attentive and friendly.
Additionally, the Food Bar next to the outdoor pool (open 11:00–17:00) was a personal favourite. It offered a full waiter service for both food and drinks. They also featured specific dessert hours for fresh waffles, pancakes, and ice cream, which were delicious.
Accommodation: We booked two rooms (a double and a triple). Both were spacious with large balconies overlooking the mountains. The rooms had a convenient "Clean Room/Do Not Disturb" switch system, and our rooms were cleaned daily, even on the mornings we chose to sleep in!
The beds were comfortable with soft pillows, and the rooms felt bright with plenty of lighting and lamps. A complimentary mini-bar was restocked daily, which was a lovely touch. The only minor issue was a slightly slow drain in one of our bathrooms, but it didn't impact our stay significantly.
Beach & Facilities: The beach is less than a 5-minute scenic walk away. The sand and ocean were very clean, with lifeguards on duty for safety. Free sunbeds are provided, though the beach bar carries additional charges.
The hotel facilities are extensive:
Spa: Available (though on the pricier side).
Pools: A great outdoor and indoor pool with a baby pool and a jacuzzi.
Gym: Equipped with the essentials.
Entertainment: 24-hour bar, an indoor arcade with a pool table, and different evening entertainment every night.
Connectivity: The Wi-Fi was excellent throughout the hotel and even reached as far as the beach!
Location & Local Area: A 10-minute walk from the hotel brings you to several markets. Even in the off-peak season, some shops were open with friendly owners selling clothes, jewellery, and bags. You can also book excursions like jeep safaris and quad biking. Loveholidays also provided a guide who arranged a complimentary shuttle to a larger market.
A beautiful highlight for me was the masjid located nearby; hearing the Adhan for the five daily prayers was a wonderful reminder and added a peaceful atmosphere to the holiday.
Overall, a highly recommended hotel for a relaxing and well-catered stay! Definitely coming again!
We stayed at the Alba Queen Hotel in Çolaklı for 6 days 👨👩👦 and every moment was pure happiness! ✨
Our 5-year-old son LOVED the waterslides 🛝, the kids’ pool 💦 and the fun Mini Club – especially when he got to bake cookies 🍪 at the pool bar with other kids and the sweet staff 🥰
We parents finally had time to breathe: Dad played water polo with other guests 🤽♂️ and Mom had a blast doing aqua gym 💃🏼☀️ Lots of fun & laughs guaranteed! 😄
Our Superior room with sea view 🌊 was spotless 🧼, cozy 🛏️ and had a view that gave us goosebumps every morning 🌅
The food? So fresh, colorful & tasty every day 🍽️😋
And we’ll never forget the two incredibly kind restaurant staff (see photo 📸) – thank you for your smiles and your warm service 🙏🏼💙
💫 This hotel has a heart – and we carry a piece of it home with us.
We’ll definitely be back! 🧳✨
Tommy, Nadin and Zac ❤️🥳😀
