We stayed at Fiesta for 3 years running from 2002 onwards before Ali sold up to the Dialysis people, we had great times there. As you said, Ali was a great guy, if a tad eccentric. Last I heard of Ali, he was running a Kibbutz type farm near Fethiye where you could stay for free if you worked the land!
Been going back most years, staying at Oykun these days. We always wander up past the old Fiesta, and have witnessed it’s sad decline over recent years.
We will no doubt have a look what has become of the site when we’re in Calis later this month
