We visited the Lara Barut Collection hotel in the Easter Holidays (room 1210). Pros: The animation team and entertainment were excellent. Games and activities run throughout the day and evening entertainment including dancing, acrobatics and live bands/singers. All the team were happy to chat and help you, if needed. A special mention goes to Buket, who was lovely all week and especially great with my daughter. They have an indoor (as well as outdoor for when it's warmer) auditorium which is great for the months when it is cooler on an evening. All the food & drinks we had was excellent. All the waiters, waitresses and bar staff couldn't do enough to help you. We only ate at one À la carte restaurant (Kuyu) and the food was brilliant. The buffet was also great, with themed nights and plenty of choice—no complaints at all. Shout out to the roller blading waitress & waiter round the pool; couldn't quite believe they could roller blade with a tray of drinks in their hand. The room we had was a Sea View and was really nice. Always cleaned everyday to a high standard and the mini bar restocked. The whole hotel was very clean and tidy. Reception staffs and porters were also very pleasant and helpful. We only used the steam room in the spa so didn't interact with the spa staff much but those we did speak to were very nice. Water slides were really good and they have a heated outdoor pool which was great, as the unheated one in April was very cold! Beach bar was good, which a relaxed atmosphere and the daily late‑afternoon DJ was a nice touch. Cons: Booking the à la carte restaurants was tricky. Reservations open on the app from 10:00–14:00, but unless you’re on the app exactly at 10:00, you won’t get a spot. You also need to book three days in advance, as the first two days are always full. It may be easier for couples, but even then you’d need to be ready at 10:00. Perhaps it’s different in summer, if they have more staff so more sittings, but this was our experience. We always managed to get sunbeds, but it could be an issue in peak season. We usually went down around 10:00 and found three beds, but people arriving around midday were struggling. Overall: The pros far outweigh the cons, and we would absolutely recommend this hotel. It’s a beautiful place with excellent service, great food, and plenty to do.

“It was a pleasure! We will come back”

We really enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The food was outstanding. Very nice rooms. The animation team was awesome. Especially Buket was really nice. We will come back for sure.

“Amazing hotel and a brilliant stay!”

This is resort is truly incredible. The amount of included activities was amazing and perfect for children.

This is resort is truly incredible. The amount of included activities was amazing and perfect for children. We didn’t travel with children however, it was clear there was plenty to do, more than an average resort such as waterslides, games room, mini golf and more. The included beverages and food choices were incredible too. This resort has the best buffet we have ever experienced with very fresh food and impeccable service. The rooms were also very comfortable. We were in a villa with the shared pool which was lovely and very private. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Housekeeping was excellent, with our minibar refreshed daily. The only thing we would say was that the pool bar closes at 6 which was a bit early as we enjoyed sitting outside for a drink rather than heading inside for the bar. The cocktails were also not a strength however, were fine. We loved this resort and was definitely worth the value. The location is a bit far from old town Antalya but there’s so much to do at the resort that you don’t actually need to leave and it’s a lovely place to relax. There’s also so much pool and beach seating but despite being told not to reserve beds, we saw people going out before breakfast and reserving them which was a shame as I can imagine at summer it might get chaotic. In saying this, We would definitely come back over and over again!

“Totally worth it”

Thank you very much. It was an amazing experience. At first, the room was too warm to sleep, but upon contacting Guest Relations, they arranged a fan immediately, and everything became smoother. From food to ambiance, and facilities, everything was perfect. Staff was very helpful, never had to wait… more

Thank you very much. It was an amazing experience. At first, the room was too warm to sleep, but upon contacting Guest Relations, they arranged a fan immediately, and everything became smoother. From food to ambiance, and facilities, everything was perfect. Staff was very helpful, never had to wait in restaurants or bars. Also, the shows, and sports were above and beyond as well. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family, and will definitely be visiting again soon.
