Anda Barut Collection

"Second visit of the year this time just hubby and I staying in the adult section. We are regular Barut visitors and have been going to the Lara Barut for around 14 years. This is where we met Yasin who is now the food and beverage manager at the Anda he's the one who encouraged us to try the Anda so we've now added it to our Barut favs. The hotel is modern and beautifully turned out definitely a fantastic addition to the Barut chain. Standards are very high as you would expect with this chain but as always it's the people who make your stay. As always Yasin (food and bev) who introduced us to the lovely Sibel (operations I believe). Mansion staff Murat at breakfast, met him in apr during first visit unbelievably he remembered my name. Yahya who looked after us at dinner. Adult pool and bar Deniz, Berkhan, and Irem who did adult and lobby bar Tiger Bahar Beach Hamza Lobby bar Ertac, Burak, Kubra, Ilker And last but definitely not least Ruzgar who was everywhere Each and every one made our holiday special and are undoubtedly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Returning with our family again in a few weeks (30th April) looking forward to catching up with everyone again."

"Pros - night restaurant 24/7 meant we could have a freshly cooked hot meal at 1am on arrival. - concierge brought our bags to our room. - plenty of options at the buffet for each meal. - good selection of drinks -you can travel light with baby, hotel offers stroller, bath, and various other baby items (but bring a sling as they dont have that). -hotel has a WhatsApp so you can ask for anything - fresh juice available at breakfast and orange is available through the day. - branded alcohol - a la cart restaurants available onsite - hotel aesthetic and cleanliness - fresh towels and room turndown on request - pillow service, great if pregnant etc - madventure is amazing! - Olivea patisserie is amazing! - exercise classes available and excellent gym - family area is great and we felt close enough to everything we needed. - on par with other luxury hotels in terms of offerings - child friendly, all ages. Lots of things for young kids and teens to enjoy. - has a night club which is 16+ - adult only zones - friendly staff pretty much everywhere which is pleasant - bazaar where you eat is well kept and clean -kids club Cons - our daughter is dairy free and we struggled with options for a relatively picky 4 year old. - must book at 10am on dot for a la carts - in most cases you need to be sat somewhere to get a drink unless at the pool bar which is frustrating - quality of room clean not best weve had, we stayed at barut goia in April and left a massive tip for our cleaner as she was unbelievable. - shops are expensive, especially the mini mart which has the basics. Prices at 10x what you'd expect. - hard to get round the entire hotel due to size, plenty of things we missed out on due to sheer size and time we had. - buffet at breakfast can be a bit samey unlike many places we have tried. Our favourite was lunch. big hotel, means it takes a while to walk to where you need to go. - Advice to hotel - late checkout should be available to request or book through the app - all the menus through the QR should be available through the app - More opportunity to take drinks to room e.g., an order service for hot drinks in ceramic or glass somewhere that doesn't require being sat down. - the area by the slides where the beds are situated is really bad, consider replacing dirt and stones with cement or tiles. Awful to walk over. - shuttle to the town a couple of times a week might be good."

"Beautiful hotel with amazing facilities,food and staff who work very hard to make the holiday special but I have to highlight the noise complaint. Not sure why nobody else has really spoken of this but if you like to lay in past 6am this isn’t the hotel for you. The hotel is located very close to a local mosque with a sound system to rival a stadium. I’ve included pics. At 5.57 the first call to prayer is blasted out the speakers and is so loud at any part of the hotel it woke my whole family daily. It lasted approx 5 minutes. This happens 5 times a day. We moved room after a tense discussion with reception who advised us jet 2 should make their customers aware of the closeness of the mosque so they can make an informed decision on the disturbance. They don’t. I fully respect the religion and the prayer however had I known how close the hotel was to the mosque I wouldn’t have booked. I value my relaxation time and my holiday is the one week I don’t have to worry about waking to an alarm. 3 children under 8 awake daily at 6 am makes for a difficult week. This aside the hotel is incredible in every other aspect. Modern,meticulously well kept, beautiful rooms,views,food and facilities it is pure luxury. I’ve attached images of my first room for context on the closeness of the mosque. Trip advisor won’t allow a video so please message me or comment and I’ll send it to you. You can hear the call to prayer is very loud so imagine how bad it was from the first room which coincidentally are the 9 family rooms overlooking the water park. I’m still battling with Jet 2 for some compensation or at least a change to their hotel description. If you are an early riser then book the hotel it’s incredible."
