TL;DR
Albatros Beach is undergoing planned equipment upgrades (not construction), the area is fenced off and works are short-term. The neighboring Palace hotel is finishing a restaurant build, while status of the former Labranda 5* remains unclear.
The renovation status of the former Labranda 5* hotel next door remains unconfirmed — travelers are still asking whether work is ongoing there.
At Albatros Beach it's not construction but a planned equipment replacement that started recently. The area was fenced off as much as possible, the work is short-term, and guests in bungalows near the main building barely noticed it.
The Albatros Beach grounds are multi-level (unlike the standard "П"-shaped layout at neighboring Palace) — guests compared both and preferred this layout.
At the nearby Palace hotel, a restaurant is currently being built, so construction is underway there too.
Guests complained that renovation work at Albatros Beach wasn't disclosed in advance — the noise of construction equipment was clearly audible from the resort.
