Honest review from UK family. We were booked to a different hotel but TUI cancelled with a weeks notice and we were offered Alhambra as an alternative. Having stayed at the sister hotel Royal Palace previously we accepted the alternative. Family of 5 with 3 x teenagers we had 2 double rooms booked. On arrival reception were so helpful and showed us 2 x alternative rooms, a family room and a family duplex room. We opted for the family duplex with sea view at no additional charge and the room was perfect for our needs. Hotel is very clean and facilities are excellent, no complaint against the hotel or other guests at all but the guests appear to me more eastern European than UK which meant our teenagers didn't 'meet friends' also seemed to be youngest children and not many teenagers, not a criticism just an observation. Food we found very poor, even the fries were dried out and not good. We never went hungry but also couldn't say we truly enjoyed any meal. The sister hotel Royal Palace has a similar layout and their snack choice is fantastic. Alhambra is a poor relation with tasteless toasties and undercooked jacket potatoes along with dried out fries and soggy pizza. Meal times we always got a seat with no issue, just never truly enjoyed a meal and their was a lack themed nights which we usually experience in Turkey. Entertainment was mixed, some shows excellent some not so good. Unless you went to the amphitheatre for the shows there was a real lack of atmosphere. Pool bar nothing, Beach bar entertainment every other night but normally very chilled which is fine, but needs to be more mixed throughout. The lobby bar is called the piano bar but has no pianist or music which makes a lovely space dull. There were pool games etc throughout the day but being British we were never once asked if we wanted to join in. Hotel Spa was impressive and arguably the best massage I have ever had. Overall, hotel is impressive and clean but as UK based would not recommend for UK residents if you want to mingle and make friends. As a footnote I was ill whilst away with sickness and diarrhea and my eldest 16 required a hospital visit with an ear infection. Can I confirm either were any fault of the hotel? Not at all so no blame to hotel just relaying our experience.
