Resort Villages Alba Resort Hotel – Ultra All Inclusive
Erhan Demir Blv. Colaklı Manavgat Antalya, 07610 Side, Turkey
HOTEL OVERVIEW
You know what honestly surprised me about Alba Resort? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to the five-star rating without feeling stuffy about it. I mean, when you first pull up on Erhan Demir Boulevard – which runs right along the coastline between Side and Manavgat – the property is way more sprawling than you’d expect from the photos. The entrance alone made me do a double-take because they’ve got this impressive lobby that somehow manages to feel grand without being intimidating, if that makes sense.
The ultra all-inclusive thing here is legit, and I’m usually pretty skeptical about those claims. But honestly, they’ve figured out how to do it without the usual chaos you get at some of these massive Turkish resorts. The restaurants actually have variety that goes beyond the standard buffet nightmare – though the main dining room does get pretty packed around 7 PM, so either go early or be prepared to wait a bit. What really got me was how they handle the beach situation. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from some of the cleanest sand I’ve seen along this stretch of the Turkish Riviera, and the beach service doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The water here stays pretty calm most of the year because of how the coastline curves, which is perfect if you’re traveling with kids or just want to actually relax in the Mediterranean without fighting waves.
Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where you can easily get to the ancient ruins in Side – seriously, it’s like a 10-minute drive to see some incredible Roman theater remains – but you’re far enough from the main tourist madness that evenings are actually peaceful. The staff seem to get that balance too; they’re attentive without hovering, and most speak enough English that you won’t be playing charades to order a drink. I will say the Wi-Fi can be spotty in some of the rooms, especially if you’re facing away from the main building, but honestly, that might be a blessing depending on why you’re there. The 8.3 rating makes sense to me – it’s not absolutely perfect (the pool areas can get crowded during Turkish holiday periods, and some of the room furnishings could use updating), but it delivers on what matters most. If you’re looking for that classic Turkish hospitality with actual comfort and decent food, without paying resort prices that make you question your life choices, Alba Resort does the job really well.
