I want to leave a review about the hotel, as the number of negative ratings rolls over, providing people with a not entirely objective picture.
When choosing a hotel, we used the following criteria: a large green area, the possibility of walking, small buildings, an affordable price.

I will say right away that, after reading about the number of rooms, I settled on a family room, the area and location of which suited the best, and the cost for three differed by 1000 UAH. Standard rooms are really small, especially for a family, this can cause inconvenience!

We arrived at the hotel early in the morning, met, put on bracelets, and sent for breakfast. English-speaking guys at the reception, although sometimes a Russian-speaking young lady appears. After breakfast, at 9 o'clock, they came up and asked about the possibility of settling. Without any "winks" was offered an excellent room with two balconies in the eighth building. But we were not satisfied with the view of the boulevard, initially we wanted a view of the Dolphin pool in the relax zone. To this, our guide, having contacted the administration, replied that the room we needed would be ready at standard time. They told me to change and wait. At 2 o'clock they settled in building 9, with a side view of the sea, a large bathroom. The rooms are old but everything worked great. Thoughtful bathroom with good water heating, excellent mattresses, snow-white linen, tea set, daily cleaning, good soundproofing.
The area is large and green. Separately, I would like to highlight the mini zoo, where they spent a lot of time feeding numerous inhabitants. By the way, there are feeders for this.
For nutrition. I can't dispute other opinions, but for $400 per person, we ate shrimp dishes 2 times, mussels were also 2 times, and on one of the evenings they served crayfish, and, in my opinion, this is very good! Ice cream from 2 to 4 was 8 varieties, packaged, booze acceptable, Turkish coffee in the lobby bar.
Service. In general, the hotel team is client-centered. Only the waiters are focused on the German consumer and, accordingly, count on remuneration. But there are, of course, pleasant exceptions! There are 2 waiters named Ali, professionals in their field. Tablecloths are changed after each client, drinks are brought.
Beach. Excellent, no rock outcropping. There were enough sunbeds even though the hotel was full. There are no mattresses, the sun loungers are new, with soft inserts.
I can recommend the hotel. It is good for adults and very good for children. The promenade along the entire coastline, good infrastructure, proximity to tourist sites are the features of the hotels in this region of Colakli, and here you will be met by hotels for any budget, but Alba is a good choice for a family trip!
