Spent a week at Ali Bey from the 27th September and thought it was fantastic for the price that we paid for a week.
Have seen people saying the rooms were dated but on arrival we were told we had been put in the new upgraded blocks (Block 6). Was definitely up to my expectations and could not have been happier.
Aqua Park is great, loved the slides, pools and facilities. Didn't tend to use the beach that much but was fine.
Drinks were in large measures and never waited long to be served.
The food was good but slightly chaotic in the peak times. To be expected I suppose but the food more than made up for it!

Can't really say anything negative. Even our transfer was only 55 mins or so as Thomas Cook sent a taxi each time, given we were the only ones going!

Would reccommend to anyone!

We stayed at this resort fo two weeks during June this year. the hotel is set in many acres, having individual villas with many seperate rooms. The villas were beautiful with landscaped areas within the villa. The restaurants were excellen the food of many varietys always plentiful. we dined later usualy around 8.30 in the evening as we did not have younger children, (two 14 year old boys) The service was sometimes sporadic due to the high number of tables but you always got served within 5 minutes for drinks, If you were so thirsty you just went up to the bar and asked for a drink!
The staff were very friendly, all spoke a reasonable amount of English and were happy to tryand speak with us.
The boys enjoyed the water park where we spent the majority of the time. The weather was in the mid 30's and felt very pleasant.
The beach is also very nice.
We enjoyed the nightly shows, all of a very high standard.
We had two rooms, the boys were not directly next to us but accross the courtyard approx 20ft away! the rooms are large enough to be comfortable. there is plenty of storage room. The bathroom was of a good standard and clean. The tiles do make the rooms seem dated but these are turkish tiles in a native style not the normal plain ones us brits are used too.
Only hitch was Thomas COOK. No rep at all. never saw one from start to finish. and they dd not remember to pick us up from the hotel for our return to he uk. not a plesant taxi ride costing me over 100 euro! and still in September trying to get the money back.

This is my first review on tripadvisor, and I wanted to write it because we were so happy with this resort. (visited in Sept 2011 with my girlfriend).
Arrival at Antalya airport at 4am, and then a 1hr20min bus transfer to Ali Bey. Note that Alibey Club and Alibey Club Park are both the same thing, but there is a seperate Alibey (in Belek I think). Anyway, there is just one Alibey in Magnavat from what I can tell.

The resort itself was huge. Unlike neighbouring resorts that seemed to be just high rise buildings, the accomodation at Alibey is in large villas (each with about 20 rooms, over two floors). This gives the whole resort a very cosy, village-y feel.

Not many British people at this resort, but not a problem at all. The staff were ALL very friendly, with a great sense of humour (not sure if this is a Turkish thing, but they have a very dry sense of humour).

Highlights of the visit:
- The water park (where we spent every afternoon during our 6-day holiday)
- The food (HUGE selection)
- The 'Silence' pool.

Only 'downside'
-Yes, the hotel rooms are a bit dated. However, they seem to be upgrading the rooms (photos of which were on show in reception). Not sure if these rooms require an upgrade however.

Either way, we cannot recommend this place enough. We stayed for 6 nights, and personally think that was perfect the duration.

Everything that previous reviews have said is spot on and more. What hasn't been mentioned is the mosquitoes it is very humid at night and the mosquitoes will bite like mad so make sure you have repellant to spray on and for your room, the electricity and air con stays on when you leave the room so it is fine and does help.
The hotel offer a pillow service, you can order from a memory foam pillow, firm or soft pillow and they are delivered to your room within the hour in addition to the pillows you already have. The number is in the information folder in the room. Do not carry cases they will be delivered and collected on request the number is in the same folder.
If you struggle to get a sun bed at the family pool as at the bar an a chap will bring you the sun beds you need, the usual towel reservation goes on but don't get into the 06:00 rush you can get sun beds this way.
Gala night is superb and Turkish night at the beach bar is fantastic but if you are not there by 19:30 for the latter you will not get a table unless reserved in advance, do not miss this one.
All of the children will want a helicopter that is flung in the air by an elastic band, get them from the pool shop, the price is better than others. The other must have toy is a laser pen that can be bought from the Manavgat market for 15 euros.
Everything is on the flat and within easy walking distance for my 80 year old Mom, the staff made a real fuss of her and i believe after e-mailing the resort before we arrived our room was very central for all amenities, thank you.
If you go to the Side market by taxi the driver will drop you at a bus station (turkish style) you have to get on a dolmus to the market and back to the bus station due to restrictions on going into the town. This market is ok but no where near as big as the one in Manavgat, make this your priority, get a taxi, you will pay 30 euros, the guy will take you to a drop off point and give you his card, you return to the drop off point and a guy from the drop off point will ring the driver and he comes back to pick you up and take you back to the resort.
Other bits: check in-slick, check out better. Water pare brill-no queues, good food, plenty of sun beds, warm water, lots of fun. Food-fab, drinks-fab, service-fab, room-fab.
Ali Bey is excellent, Turkey is excellent, thank you for a brilliant holiday. please do not hesitate to book.
