Albir Playa Hotel & Spa

Le restaurant et la piscine

De airco werkte goed

The rooms were fine, not big for a family of 4 but enough
They have a car service that drops you to the beach and picks you up
Food was ok

La piscina

Fantastisch ontbijt, heel fijne stortdouche op de kamer en erg vriendelijk bar- en ontbijtpersoneel. Goede ligging t.o.v. centrum, boulevard, strand en markt. Mooi zwembad met ruim voldoende zit- en ligplekken.

Lovely hotel, own balcony etc

We travel to different resorts in Turkey twice a year, so we have a lot of experience and plenty to compare this hotel with. To be honest, I think the people who gave this hotel such high ratings have probably never experienced real Turkish hotel service, or maybe this hotel is more suited to guests aged 60+... I honestly don't even know where to start. There wasn't even a kettle or a coffee machine in the room, which was a big surprise for us. We also had to pay for the pool towels. Children weren't allowed to play with a ball in the pool, and inflatables were not allowed either. If your kids did either, staff would come over and tell them to stop. There were also no water slides or anything to keep children entertained.

We booked breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was very average. The choice wasn't great, and the quality felt quite cheap. All of us had stomach problems after almost every meal... at breakfast, coffee, tea, juice and water were all free. But at lunch and dinner you had to pay for exactly the same drinks. There was even a sticker on the machines saying they were only available at breakfast (I've added a photo). I'm not even talking about alcohol, we expected to pay for that. But charging for drinking water at lunch and dinner was unbelievable!! Over one week we spent so much money just buying water. We've never experienced this in any other hotel in Turkey... the entertainment team was also disappointing. They didn't seem enthusiastic or energetic, and the atmosphere was very boring throughout our stay... the room was another let down. We are a family of two adults and two children. The children had to share one small sofa bed, while the adults slept on two single beds pushed together. I really didn't expect that from a hotel like this...
I know this is a long review, but I genuinely want to warn anyone who is thinking about booking this hotel. Don't waste your hard earned money here. There are so many better hotels in Turkey where you'll get much better service and much better value for your money!

The staff in the reception is rude and not very welcoming. Really disappointed over the staff as they seemed angry/rude throughout our stay. Never again.

We have stayed at this hotel twice now and have 2 children under 5.
The hotel is very clean and the cleaners work hard.
The food options are basic but there’s always something to get if you’re a fussy eater. The staff in the restaurant are very helpful assisting with high chairs and having somewhere to put the prams etc.

The pool area opens at 10am there is a barrier and plenty of sun loungers at the back by the baby pool and there’s even stacks of them piled up in case you get down the pool area late. When the barrier opens the only people I have seen run down the steps is children excited to get to the pool.

The hotel is in a great location close to supermarkets there is a popeyes, McDonald’s and Burger King a 5 minute stroll. Also some very good Indian and Chinese restaurants opposite hotel. The beach again is 5-10minute stroll, plenty bars and restaurants nice pleasant vibe. There’s a children’s mini fairground trampolines and bouncy castles and small rides. You can stroll into Altea 15-20min stroll along the beach with beautiful mountain and sea views. Benidorm is a 10minutes on the bus an 5 mins in a taxi.

This is perfect for a chilled holiday little play area for the kids, gym in the hotel and spa. The hotel is sound the staff are sound and the weather is Boss!

Looking forward to going back next year!

The breakfast was okay and the pool is lovely

Lovely hotel.
I am here now and I would have to try hard to find much to complain about.
Breakfast choice is fantastic.
There are PLENTY of sun loungers around the pool but for some reason people still find the need to queue and rush down the steps to get their favourite spot, which provides much entertainment for those having breakfast at a leisurely pace. I am sitting looking at empty loungers now but of course there are also the empty ones that rushers bagged and aren’t even using.
Free shuttle to beach to take you and bring you back when you like.
Would definitely return. We have friends here so likely will.

Just returned from another visit to this hotel and it was again a fantastic experience, the staff throughout the hotel were helpful, courteous and professional in their day to day efforts to ensure our visit was enjoyable, like any business there is always room for improvement but reception was always there to assist when required and if possible to fix any problem, the rush for sunbeds definitely needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured but I would say that later in the year and indeed earlier I have never experienced this problem. Over the years we have made many freinds with various members of staff and this year was no different but a special shout out for recent employee Sandra who worked at pool bar daytime and Bar lounge in the evening IMO she was the epitome of what you would want as an employee if you managed the hotel or as we were guests of the hotel , thanks again Albir Playa & Spa for a great 10 day stay the Cormie's Dave & Alison ... the Hamill's Leonard,Sara and Sophie
...until the next time chee

We came as a family of 3, stayed at the albir playa. Unfortunately the hotel was not what we expected!! Firstly, the pool doesn’t open until 10am, they put tape in place at the top of the outdoor stairs for everyone to queue and wait for it to open at 10am. It is so embarrassing it is like the grand national race to get a bed. It is so dangerous people are pushing each other to get down the steps and running for sunbeds!
It’s a complete accident waiting to happen!
I was personally pushed over by another person grappling for a bed that I was heading towards. Not great if you are unsteady on your feet, if you are Usain Bolt you’ll be fine. Unfortunately if you don’t get to a bed quick enough then you’ll spend the rest of your day with no sun bed.
We booked half board with the option to change from evening meal to lunch. Found staff to be very unhelpful and rude when asking to change option on the same day, they actually refused us entry. Had breakfast once, food was very poor bacon almost broke my tooth and the food was cold, not a great selection either. Very disappointing as we then ate out for every meal.
We stayed in a deluxe room, which on arrival reception stated the mini bar (soft drinks and crisps) would be replenished daily. Unfortunately they only replenished this once during our 7 night stay.
Rooms were generally clean and basic
Avoid at all costs, not worth the money or frustration! Worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in.
