ALI BEY RESORT SORGUN

We arrived at Ali bey around 12.15am after a two hour delayed jet2 flight from Edinburgh. Unfortunately there was only one man on reception, with everything shut down as it was the night shift. Restaurant, literally everything. To our horror, we were informed that we had no reservation, and that the hotel was at full capacity. Also that there was no Jet 2 help available until 9am the next day. We were so stressed after a long day of delays and travelling. At this point, my family, hungry and tired, I was searching the area on my phone for any available alternative hotel for a night off the street. We were then informed by the man on reception, after us spending two hours of checking the area for alternative accommodation, that he had located a temporary room in the hotel, but that it would be 400 euros to reserve the booking on our credit card. Of course, although extremely upset and disappointed we paid him, just thankful my family were not on spending the night on the street. Unfortunately, although the temporary we had to pay extra for was clean, the room was smelling of dampness and we couldn’t sleep because of the smell, also the air conditioning wasn’t working (1107). Massively long story short, the next day, we managed to get our booking sorted between jet 2 and the hote manager, but by this time, the horrible check in experience we had been subjected too, had cast a dark shadow over our weeks holiday. Other thing to really watch for is the hotel water sports centre on the beach try to rip you off at every opportunity. Pay them in Euros only as they try to con you with lira exchange rate. Basically £50.00 more for the parachute than the brochure price. Really bad. The prices on the brochure are in euros. So stick to that. Conclusion…. My recommendations would be if you choose the Ali bey or decide to book through jet 2 holidays, is to contact both a couple of weeks prior to travel to confirm you are actually booked inn to the hotel (As it all appears to be a shambles) I emailed the hotel prior to arrival also to confirm, and for a quiet room, but it all still went pair shaped. Good luck 🙏

What can I say about Ali Bey Resort! Having switched our holiday from Dubai to Turkey because of the conflict in the Middle East, we decided to opt for Ali Bey Resort and are so glad we did. From checking in to checking out 11 days later, everything excelled and completely exceeded all expectation. The surroundings, the pools, the beach, the entertainment, the accommodation, the staff and the food were all first class. The buffet restaurant was unbelievably good and the food was world class. We shall be returning next year, and if you are in any doubt about where to stay in the Antalya / Alanya area, I couldn’t recommend this hotel more!!

We are on our last day & love this hotel , we can’t wait to rebook and come back . We travelled as 2 solo friends , food & drink choices are excellent , staff are amazing and service is excellent . I booked 2 massages in the spa which were excellent & very professional . My room was cleaned to a high standard and drinks replenished everyday , the bus into town stops every 15 mins outside the hotel or taxi is 10 euros into Side old town . Would highly recommend this hotel and will be sad to leave .

I have never seen a man doing his job this wanting and hes very fun. I also had so much fun at this hotel i will visit this place next year as well. Everyone is so kind and amazing, you dont feel like a stranger, you ferl like family.
