Lara Hotels

Nice experience , loved the place . Very impressed . Definitely would go back . Will recommend it to my family & friends . A place to sit back, relax & forget about the world !!

Stayed at Hotel Club Sera for 2-days as a birthday/wedding anniversary treat. It was fabulous. A good mix of people (Turkish, Russian, British (although not too many). Accommodation, food and entertainment was great. Would recommend it to anybody wishing to be pampered for a few days.

After seeing a lot of hotels and returning home, I will say that the Akra Barut is the best hotel for money in Antalya. It earned 5 stars in every regard, and is also beautiful - much nicer than the western style sterile, cookie-cutter 5 star hotels we've been to. Their sea view rooms look 3 slightly different directions - here is how to choose: East wing: you see almost nothing but the sea form your window (and balcony), except from some of the shore on the left (with parts of a defunct waterpark but this is no fault of the hotel - it isn't terrible, just untidy). Beautiful sea views all day, but since you don't see the shore, all you see after sunset is darkness - no city lights at night. All the light you will see at night is one of the pools and some garden/entrance lights, all almost directly below, nothing in the distance. Some city noise on balcony. West wing: You will see a lot of the sea, and some of the city on the right - a nice combo, as this makes for a more interesting view when it's dark outside. The west wing rooms also have a nice view of the (beautiful) pools and garden area of the hotel which you won't see from the east wing rooms. Middle: Somewhat limited view because the other 2 wings block part of the view left and right, but because of this, these are the quietest sea view rooms. So if you are planning on spending quite some time on the balcony and value peace and quiet, these may be a good choice.

My wife and I had a nice expirience during our eastern holidays in antalya. The hotel staff were very kind, except for the people in the front desk who were completley useless and never helped us when we required. However, the rest of the crew made our stay more pleasent. I was impressed that everyone on the hotel spoke English, something that I wasnt expecting after reading to others comments. The hotel facilities are also very nice, and they have many entertainment alternatives. Over all, a good service and a nice hotel considering the money we paid for our stay.

Was worried regarding all the negative reviews but please ignore them as the hotel, staff & food was all fantastic. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and would definitely return.

I had a very good experience staying here - the staff were pleasant,friendly,helpful. Food and refreshments satisfying.

Very nice hotel in a good location. Pleasant staff and good food.

For a 5-star resort, this definitely lived up to its rating. I traveled with my wife as our honeymoon and I would definitely go again. The food was absolutely amazing, always fresh and almost too many choices. There were times we wouldn't be hungry and when we walk by the serving area, just the smell would make you hungry. The hotel itself was clean, our rooms always cleaned, and even our clothes would be folded and placed on our bed. On of the nights, we were in a rush to catch a tour in the morning, my wife left out her jewelry out and in a mess. Upon our arrival, we found nothing was stolen and all her jewelry was organized on the table, even some necklaces untangled. So much to do at this resort, every night there is a show of some kind whether it is a magic show, dancers, DJ, singers. Everyday at noon there are pool games as well. Even on our last day, we were supposed to check out at 12, but since our flight was at 8 that day, they allowed us to stay at the hotel, even had lunch and dinner, swam before we checked out. Only thing we didn't like about the hotel was the staff, sometimes they could come across as rude, not willing to help. Although there was this one girl working in the kitchen that provided me and my wife with breakfast the first morning we were there even though we came down after they stopped serving breakfast. Other than her, other staff weren't really helpful, and it seemed as they even tried to avoid speaking English. More of a family resort

The title says it all really: The hotel itself was very clean and well decorated with a distinct style and feel to it. It is very far removed from the touristy resort-style hotels in Antalya and we liked that. the location is excellent, 20 mins from the old town (Kaleici) and about the same distance from the airport. The view is stunning!! Be sure to request a front facing room. The breakfast was also a high point, with massive selection and something for everybody. The staff (especially Osman) really went out of their way to help us organise excursions, find suitable places to eat and recommend things we might like to see or do during our stay. Lovely people! The overall experience was very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family visiting Antalya.

After being in an area that had just recently snowed, we found ourselves in Lara at the Barut Lara Resort. It was sunny and warm. Here we are in January in just our short sleeve t-shirts sitting on the sand by the Mediterranean. It is an all inclusive resort. So all meals and drinks were included. Didn't know that when we made our reservation, so a pleasant surprise. Felt very pampered and would definately stay here again.
