PSO TRAVEL - Polats Sports Organisations Reviews 168

I have just returned from a week playing pickleball and having fun at the Akra Didem resort in Turkey organised by PSO travel whose professionalism is exemplary. This is my second
pickleball holiday with PSO and I look forward to the next. Whether it’s pickleball, tennis or padel, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Weve just returned from a week at Ali Bey Resort Sorgun Turkey. What an experience and what a week ! I cannot praise PSO Travel enough , from initial booking to journey home our experience was top draw. Yusuf was always on hand to deal with any queries with an immediate response and I felt confident from the outset we were in great hands. The coaching was second to none and our whole week was totally amazing. I will definitely be rebooking with PSO and recommend them without hesitation.

PSO are the best travel company I have ever used. Nothing was too much trouble. The organisation was excellent and Pickleball coaching was perfect balance of fun and education. I can’t wait for my next trip

Excellent organisation from start to finish. These guys work very hard to get all the details right. We had a wonderful week of sport and great company

Great pickleball coaches at Ali Bey sports village last week. Will return for sure.

Just got back from 7 days of Pickleball at the Ali Bey Hotel in Sorgun, Turkey. Fabulous weather, pickleball and hotel. Great organisation by PSO as usual. We love it and will be back again. Thank you Karen, Richard, Anna, Jamie and Evan
😊

A fabulous week in Turkey with PSO, Richard, Anna,Ewan and Jamie. A great resort, staff were lovely and the food was amazing.
We all learned so much and had a great time meeting other Pickleball players from around the country.
We would recommend PSO to anyone wanting a great holiday and to learn new skill to improve your game.

We had an amazing experience with PSO.
Zuhal and Yusuf and the PSO team were brilliant and provided exceptional service.
I would highly recommend PSO travel to anyone wanting a great pickleball holiday.

This is the 3rd time I have travelled with PSO travel. They are an excellent company. Their care and attention to detail is outstanding - they are available 24/7 and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Zuhal and Yusuf are so approachable and offer the best service from start to finish. Exceptional in every respect.

Just back from the opening week at Akra Didim in Turkey (with Megan Fudge and Ryler DeHeart)
Cannot speak highly enough of the PSO team, from the organisation beforehand and onsite to the superb coaches that they work with and the great locations that they pick.
They know how to orchestrate a wonderful holiday with a bit of everything for everyone. They create a really inclusive atmosphere, by the end of the week we all felt like one big family.

This is our second PSO holiday at 2 different resorts and this one exceeded our expectations despite expectations being high! We went on a pickleball holiday but had the right blend of alone time on a relaxing holiday but enough pickleball to work off the calories from the all inclusive food and drink. Zuhal and Yusef are perfect hosts, making sure everything runs smoothly. The Ali Bay was fabulous but Akra, Didim is another level of luxury. Can’t wait to come back!

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!

Another amazing holiday, our third, with PSO. Zuhal and Yusef’s attention to detail is second to none and this ensures a great time is had by all. The 4 pickleball coaches - Rob, Pep, Heidi and Lawrence were all brilliant. We have developed our pickleball skills, had so much fun and made lots of new friends. A huge thank you to PSO and I’m confident we will be 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!
