PSO TRAVEL - Polats Sports OrganisationsReviews 

My Pickleball holiday in Ali Bey was just fantastic! Zuhal and Yusuf excel as hosts- their communication is superb. They were present and available every day. The Pickleball coaching experience went beyond my expectations- we had four fantastic coaches who clearly enjoyed what they were doing and gelled well together, while each brought their own special nuggets of coaching information which they were eager to share with us. We had a large group of 38 which was split into 2. The team kept an eye on the forecast and adjusted the timetable to suit so we didn't miss out on any of the coaching sessions due to inclement weather (yes, it did rain part of the time for a few of the days- it was end March though!). The player group was very friendly and, being on my own, I was welcomed into various small groups (most do seem to have booked in small groups). The hotel is amazing too- even with the umbrellas in the room in case of rain!. An unexpected bonus was the additional free activities included- archery, air rifle shooting, boccia plus the fitness/ yoga etc. The heated pool was needed this time of year. The amount and variety of food on offer is just staggering. The only gripe was the 'ultra inclusive' Pickleball holiday did not include use of the Pickleball courts outside of the coach led sessions (this wasn't made clear to me before booking). We had flights and transfers included with this particular package and all went with with my Sunexpress flights from Stansted.

Just returned from my 1st pickleball holiday with PSO. Zuhal and Yusuf run this company so well. We were kept informed throughout the booking process and holiday and nothing was too much trouble.
The venue was outstanding, comfortable rooms and good food.
The 5 pickleball courts were by the beach. The 4 coaches Rob, Pep, Heidi and Laurence were all kind positive and very encouraging.
All in all a great holiday

We had the most amazing holiday with PSO Travel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We went away for 7 days to Turkey for a Pickleball holiday and every single aspect of the trip was brilliant. The organisation and care from PSO Travel was outstanding. The Pickleball coaching was amazing and the hotel was superb. We will be booking again for next year and cannot wait. Thank you.

It was an amazing holiday and pickleball experience that truly exceeded our expectations!

We were so lucky to have Zuhal and Yusuf organising everything, nothing was ever too much trouble. They are incredibly kind, caring, and always easy to approach, which made the whole experience even more special.

The hotel was brilliant: the rooms were perfect, and the food was absolutely delicious (especially after a full day of coaching!).

We were also fortunate to be coached by Rob, Pep, Heidi, and Laurence throughout the week. Every coach was patient, experienced, and genuinely supportive. They struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun, creating an environment where everyone felt at ease.
The drills were really effective, and their encouragement helped us build confidence and put new skills into practice during games.
Pep’s high fives were legendary both on and off the court, he is a genuinely fantastic person to be around. Rob’s knowledge and analytical approach were incredibly helpful in breaking down and improving our game, and his sense of humour made sessions even more enjoyable. Laurence brought great energy to every session and was excellent at explaining drills in clear, easy-to-understand terms, thank you.
A special mention goes to Heidi, who deserves “coach of the year” for organising such a fun and successful end-of-week tournament!

Zuhal and Yusuf also put together a fantastic gala night with a DJ, dancing, and cake, it was the perfect way to celebrate an unforgettable week.

I would 110% recommend a holiday with PSO, you won’t be disappointed! I can’t wait to go back again soon 😊

I've just returned from my second PSO pickleball holiday, at AliBey, Turkey. The whole experience was outstanding in every way. Zuhal and Yusuf run an amazing company they so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Their organisation before, during and even after the holiday is superb.
Once at AliBey which is a beautiful hotel with immaculate gardens the pickleball fun begins.
Four hours daily in two, two hour sessions over five days with highly skilled professional coaches who help you to individually improve your skills and game.
As someone who went on their own this year I loved the way that I quickly felt a part of the group and was welcomed by everyone. I have taken so much from this trip.
PSO pickleball holidays are in a class of their own. I can't wait to return to Turkey for my next PSO holiday.

We have just returned from a fantastic week-long pickleball holiday at Ali Bey in Side, and it exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we arrived, Zuhal and Yusuf ensured we were exceptionally well looked after. Their attentiveness and warm approach made a real difference to our experience—nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always on hand to help with any questions or requests.
The coaching team was truly outstanding. Rob, Pep, Heidi, and Laurence delivered five-star coaching throughout the week. Their expertise, enthusiasm, and encouragement created a fun and supportive environment, and we learned so much from each session. I’ve come away feeling more confident and excited than ever to put everything into practice.
A huge thank you to the entire PSO team for such a memorable and enjoyable holiday. We had an amazing time and are already looking forward to returning!

It is rare to find a tour operator that truly delivers a personal touch, but PSO Travel excels as a family-run business. From the moment we arrived, the difference was clear; you receive a level of care and attention to detail that larger companies simply cannot replicate.
Zuhal and Yusuf were incredible hosts. They met us right at the airport, guided us through the check-in process, and remained a constant, helpful presence throughout the entire week. Additionally, Ali Bey resort exceeded our expectations at every turn. Excellent courts, spotless well kept grounds, lovely helpful staff, amazing food, beautiful beach, pools (including a heated outdoor pools) etc. If you are looking for a seamless journey where you are treated like a priority rather than just another booking, PSO Travel is the way to go. Thank you Zuhal and Yusuf.

This was my first Pickleball holiday and what an amazing experience it was!
Communication from Zuhal was brilliant from start to finish and both her and her husband Yusaf were always on hand to help throughout our stay at this incredible resort. The hotel was amazing - I’ve never stayed in such a fabulous place. From the fantastic food and drinks on offer to the entertainment, activities, spa facilities and heated pool it catered for every need. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all the friendly cats/kittens just added to our overall experience and enjoyment.
As for the pickleball - that was hard work but fun. The first class coaches were friendly and supportive and hopefully, once I’m back at my club play, I will be able to show off my improved skills!! To play on fantastic courts right by the beach was a lovely experience. Even the wind and rain didn’t spoil it. The rest of the group were great and we all mixed well together.
The old town of Side was just 20 mins walk along the beach and what a lovely, attractive town it was with all the historic Roman ruins to investigate.
All in all this was a wonderful trip and I can’t recommend it enough!

We’ve just returned from a pickleball holiday with this company and honestly couldn’t have been more impressed. From start to finish, the organisation was absolutely first class. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent — we were kept informed at every stage with timely updates and clear instructions, which made everything feel smooth and completely stress-free. It really felt like every detail had been carefully thought through and taken care of.
Once we arrived, the experience continued to exceed expectations. The hosts on the ground were fantastic — friendly, professional, and always making sure we knew what was happening and what to expect next. The resort they selected was superb, with great accommodation and excellent food. Every aspect of the trip ran like clockwork, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy ourselves.
The pickleball side of the trip was equally impressive. The facilities were excellent, with five great courts, and the coaching was of a very high standard — we definitely learned a lot. Even with a couple of days of bad weather, we still managed to get court time in every day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and would happily travel with them again.

Zuhal and Yusuf organised a brilliant holiday, they took care of everything and we felt completely comfortable to leave things with them safe in the knowledge that it would all be dealt with and thought of. The coaching team was also exceptional and provided both an enjoyable and learning environment. Really recommend going on a PSO holiday!

An absolutely wonderful week exceeding expectations in every way. Zuhal and her team made sure every need was catered for and the coaches were unfailingly cheerful, enthusiastic and supportive - plus, of course, incredibly talented.

Just returned from a great pickleball holiday at Alibey despite the few days of rain. Zuhal was always on hand & answered queries super quick. The pickleball coaches were amazing & encouraging. Shout out to Rob, Sam, Dani, Karen & Laurence.
Looking forward to a 2027 return!

Fabulous holiday. The information given before and during the holiday was superb. Very friendly service with fantastic attention to detail. We would definitely travel with PSO again. Thank you so much.

From booking the holiday to being waved goodbye at the resort the service was personal, top class and complete. Zuhal is amazing. Everything was communicated and questions answered promptly.
The resort Ali Bey Resort Sorgun was amazing a real 5 star experience.
And the pickleball coaching top class and so much fun.
Thank you for an amazing holiday. I would highly recommend and am looking forward to booking with PSO again .

PSO have always delivered an exceptional holiday. They are a professional team providing a personal service and I have always been very satisfied with each and every holiday I have been on holiday with them.

I have been on holiday three times with PSO and have already booked again for this year. The service is second to none. Everything is taken care of from beginning to end which makes for a perfect, relaxing holiday. I love the resort. The hotel staff are great and go out of their way to look after you. I am a non tennis player and find there is plenty to do, including a good gym, lots of pools and a gorgeous beach. Plus all inclusive food and drink of a high quality. I completely recommend PSO holidays

I have been away to Turkey with PSO Travel 3 times now and they are fantastic! I have already booked my next holiday with them. Such amazing and kind hosts who help with everything and are always quick to respond helpfully to any special requests. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

Everything about this trip was 5* - the awesome coaching by Rob, Richard & Sam, the hotel, food & drinks was fab, and the courts right next to the beach. Zuhal & Yusuf are the perfect hosts. Already booked for 2026 with more friends too!

Excellent people
Brilliant organisation

Had the best experience early this year and have already booked my second trip! Can’t recommend enough
