Absolutely Fantastic!!! We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it!! The staff were very friendly and helpful and Harry is certainly one on his own- a one man animation team who works incredibly hard to ensure every guest has a fun time on holiday. The Turkish Night was a definite highlight to our holiday and included delicious food and lots of original, if somewhat bizarre, party games to get everyone into the spirit!!! A fab time is guaranteed, especially if you like music all day long and some rather dubious selections, such as The Yogi Bear Song and White Socks........you may be easily offended!!!
Enjoy, we certainly did!!!

Just got to say that we have come back from our holiday in Gumbet Turkey. We stayed at the Hotel Alibaba, a two star rating. For anyone considering going I would just say if you expect to stay in this hotel you will be pleasently suprised. We went wondering what to expect but on arrival at two in the morning we were met outside by the most cheerful happy person who came to help with our luggage, his name........Harry. After a few days we got the impression that he was totally cracked, in the best sort of way, he made people laugh all the time with his funny antics and seemed to be popular with all the guest, a true asset for the hotel. The hotel is a family run concern and everyone goes out their way to make your stay the best, any problems are fixed straight away with a smile, although only had the one problem. The rooms are basic and the air con cost £20 per week although our room needed it, there was another couple whos room, due to the location was always cool. In the room there is no kettle or hairdryer but for two star we did not expect them. The bathroom/toilet was very clean and included a bidet/wc which flushed well unlike some other hotels. The maid service was regular and good. Food was good and the bar served snacks throughout the day. Friday night is barbecue night, very entertaining. The pool was beautiful, very clean and surrounded by enough sun beds to accommodate everyone at once so no creeping down at the early hours to towel your bed, no need! all in all a very relaxing holiday and all the credit goes to the management of the Ali baba.
There are two mini supermarkets within two mins walk of the hotel. Both extreemly friendly and helpful.
The beach is about a 10 min walk max. but may take longer getting past the local shops and restaurants. The jasmin Garden is a good family run restaurant and is two minutes away from the hotel, full english breakfast for £2. Another place to go is the Papatya patisserie in gumbet on the left hand side, remarkable desserts and the drinks were almost half the price of everywhere else.
Cash machines are readily available in gumbet but no banks, shops and restaurants all cash sterling or euros. Didn't find anywhere to cash travellers cheques in Gumbet but banks available in Bodrum 2 miles away.
Beach Beautiful with lots of bars and restaurants. Loungers are free on the beach but you may have to take advantage of the waiter service for your cool beer.
Overall hol rating 95%. would go again to the Alibaba definately.
Thanks.

We are just back from our honeymoon at the Ali baba hotel.
We had an excellent stay here it was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel was spotless and we found it to be in an ideal area as it is only a short walk away from the nightlife and the beach but far enough to be able to get to sleep without hearing any noise. The food at the hotel was excellent a perfect snack menu.
We will be back to this hotel as soon as we can

Hey Seb, Antonio, Acho etc.
Yhis is Jojo and Ciaran (we stayed in room 16) reporting back from Belfast to you all about our holiday in Aug 07.
Just thought we would say that we would recommend this hotel to others as we enjoyed it this year in fact we are going back next Aug 08.
Our room had a brilliant view of the pool area which I loved, the people at this hotel are also so nice and friendly so it makes your stay more relaxed and comfortable lol.
The weather is really hot at this time of the year so be careful use plenty of cream and you should be fine lol.
Trips in Turkey r amazing especially the boat trips, there is plenty to do during the day ie jet skiing, mini golf, go-karting and water sports which are found at the beach in Gumbet its brilliant.
Cant wait 2 go back lots of love Jojo and Ciaran from Belfast.

I have stayed at this hotel 7 or 8 times and have always enjoyed it. The hotel is quite near to the main resort so you can eat and be merry (very cheaply) the beach is about 400m away for water sports or you can just relax by the hotel’s pool and soak up the sun (beware it can get very very hot).
Although near to the action it is very quiet at night so you can have a good nights (early mornings) sleep. Whilst you are in turkey I would highly recommend going on a boat trip, a full days excursion with food for about £10 (drinks extra).
Shopping is a bit hassley but a good bargain can be had if you barter to stop the hassle just politely say no thank you. Same goes with restaurants (all are good and clean) best in my opinion is the red dragon.
Back to the hotel; this family run hotel is clean well run staff are very friendly (can’t do enough to help you) food is good, air conditioning is available at a price.
Overall this hotel and resort whether you are young or young at heart will make you want to return again and again.

A nice family hotel. Quietly located, but just a 5 minute walk to the centre of Dalyan. It's very cosy and the service is very good. Good breakfasts and wonderfully home cooked meals. The rooms are very clean. The garden and pool are well looked after.
The Tutar family is a wonderful family and they will do just anything to make your stay a pleasant stay. The hotel sometimes arranges trips in the area with their own minibus, which I can recommend.
We've spend 2 weeks in this great complex and we'll certainly come again next year.

My husband and our 2 children have stayed at this hotel on numerous occassions over a period of 10 years. Seb and his family have become very good friends of ours and I would never stay anywhere else when in Gumbet. The food is very well priced and the chips are REAL! Only place I have ever found real chips in Gumbet in all the years I have been visiting. If you have any issues, Seb will be only to happy to help.
Hotel is situated in the quieter part of Gumbet but within a few minutes of the first restaurant and within 10 minutes of the bars. Trust me, if you want a clean, quiet, friendly hotel that you would be happy to return to year after year then this is the place.
The only reason we haven't been since 2005 is that we have been visiting different countries but we will be back!

My fiancée and I spent a week at the Ali Baba.
We found the accommodation to be clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very nice as was all the food in the many restaurants in the area.
Beach 5min walk, shops, bars, nightlife- 3min.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday and would recommend it to all ages.
