Lara Barut Collection

"We have just returned from an amazing stay at Lara Barut. The hotel and its grounds are beautiful and the staff work so hard to keep it like this. The whole atmosphere is lovely for families, couples or solo travelers. I came with my 2 children (11 & 15) who both loved the hotel, especially the slides! The restaurants are great, and the fact you aren't limited to how many visits you get is a huge bonus. If you book for 2 or 3 days ahead you should get the restaurant you want. If this is full it is worth messaging guest relations as they can put you on a wait list (I got this twice and got in). Our favorite was the Italian, but all were great. You don't need a reservation for Turunc and its definitely worth a visit. This was our favorite for lunch, and overlooks the pretty lagoon pool & bar. The beach has such a good vibe, we loved an afternoon swim and chill on the sunbeds while the sun was setting. The QR ordering system here and at the pool for drinks is a really nice touch (you can also go up to the bar). The staff at the hotel really make this special. They all go out of their way to make your holiday perfect. Anyone we had serving us was great, the guys on roller skates, animation team, cleaners, gardeners, all welcome you with a smile. I honestly can't recommend this hotel enough!"

"Stayed with 12 and 14 year old - loads to do around the hotel including fitness classes, tennis, padel, waterslides and water sports (not included) a short walk down the beach. All inclusive experience was one of the best we have tried (no wrist band required, very few exclusions from the alcohol list, delicious A la carte restaurant choices, a wonderful patisserie). Housekeeping and grounds maintenance both excellent. Special thanks to Funda and her 9.30am fitness classes which were hard work but worth it! She was an excellent trainer - tough but very engaging. Also the Fly Yoga classes with Seval were great fun. Small negative as others have mentioned were the difficulties in getting A la carte reservations on arrival - and needing to book on the dot of 10am. However, the Buffet was varied and great quality and the option of Turunc (no reservation required) was also good - so it was just an annoyance rather than a significant complaint. The evening activities were extremely varied and very entertaining - and the entertainment team were friendly and always working hard (special mention to Amigo)!"

"This is our second visit to this hotel and it is simply fantastic! From accommodation to restaurants the service is AMAZING. I can’t find a single fault with this hotel. Huge thanks to all staff especially the animation team and Aytuk who took the time to engage with us and entertain us daily. The staff are fantastic !!!"
