We stayed here as a family of five. Four of us are vegetarian, and three of our children have an egg allergy. We were genuinely impressed by how well the hotel takes dietary requirements and allergies into consideration. At the main buffet, there is a dedicated vegan corner, and the dishes are clearly labelled to indicate whether they contain egg. Something we also really liked is that the calorie count is displayed for each dish. Guests with allergies receive a red wristband, which makes it easier for the staff to recognise them. You can also speak directly to the chef, and they will prepare something separately if necessary. We felt very safe and well taken care of. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Demir. After such a tiring journey, he gave us so much positive energy. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and his enthusiasm immediately put a smile on our faces. At the buffet, we also had the pleasure of meeting Head Chef Vijay Singh. What an amazing chef! He prepared delicious Indian dishes every day. There was so much variety, and for vegetarians it really felt like a feast. This is honestly the first resort we have stayed at where we were able to eat well every single day as vegetarians. Usually, at all-inclusive resorts, the vegetarian options are quite limited and we end up eating mostly fries and pizza. That was absolutely not the case here. We also made use of the private beach pavilion, and we highly recommend it. You have cold drinks available in the fridge and staff come by to serve you drinks as well. Food is unfortunately not included at the pavilion, but the beach restaurant is only about a two-minute walk away. We ate there several times and really enjoyed the food, including penne and cheese pide. The staff were also very careful with the egg allergy. They checked twice to make absolutely sure that there was no egg in the pasta, which gave us a lot of confidence. Above the beach area, you will find the Turquoise Restaurant. You can have à la carte meals there between 12:00 and 18:00. We enjoyed eating there as well. They also have individually packaged ice creams available between 18:00 and 21:00. The only thing we were less impressed with was the scoop ice cream. We found the texture a little unusual and somewhat chewy, almost like chewing gum. But this is obviously a matter of personal taste. The rooms are beautiful as well. We stayed in a family room with direct access from the balcony to the private swimming pool via a small staircase. This was absolutely fantastic! Having your own private pool, with sun loungers, is such a luxury. If the loungers are occupied, you can also relax on your own terrace, and drinks are available inside the building. There is always a lifeguard present at the pool, which is reassuring, especially when travelling with children. The family room has three comfortable beds. The sofa beds are a little less comfortable, but our children didn't really mind. The room also has two TVs, one of which is a Smart TV. Unfortunately, we were unable to connect the Smart TV to our phone. The Wi-Fi connection around the swimming pools was quite weak and sometimes disappeared completely, but inside the main building the connection was good. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Limak Lara. For us, the excellent attention to allergies, the huge variety of vegetarian and (non)vegan food, the friendly staff and the private pool made this a very enjoyable family holiday. We would definitely consider coming back!
