Very Expensive Stay!

The hotel has undergone an external transformation since we last stayed 6 years ago. Weddings at weekends have stopped (that's a good thing) and a new restaurant has been built. The food is fantastic, but the prices are sky high (La Vera Menu online). You are not allowed to take food or drink from outside into the hotel. We saw one couple getting searched for ‘contraband’. There were also several cases of people being charged for the use of the room mini bar when they claimed they hadn’t. Other review sites would seem to back this up as an ongoing ‘scam’ by the hotel. The rooms are very dated and are in desperate need of a refurbishment. Breakfast is basic, but you often share the dining area with the local stray cats!
The hotel now seem to have a deal with local dentists, as about half of the guest were there for dental work, This isn’t an issue, but we saw a lot of bruised faces which can be a little disconcerting.
The waiter staff are attentive and give good service around the pool area during the day. The pool aera is clean and presentable, but drink prices are expensive. Two Fanta and Two Sprite (250ml bottles) came to about £14.
On our last day at checkout, we weren’t allowed to leave until an audit of the room had been undertaken. We had taken pictures of the room and minibar on arrival and departure. We had no issues.

The hotel is in a relatively good location — close to the airport but far from the city center. There's only a small supermarket within 100 meters. The area is calm, but planes fly overhead almost every minute, which can be disturbing.

Check-in was smooth and the receptionist was polite. Unfortunately, the experience changed on our first afternoon. We bought a box of water, some chips, biscuits, and nuts from the nearby store for our kids. At the hotel entrance, a receptionist rudely stopped us, questioned us about what was in our bag, and even opened and searched it without permission. He confiscated the snacks and said we had to buy them from the hotel at 120 lira per item.

This was a very disrespectful and uncomfortable situation. Even worse, at check-out, only the biscuits and nuts were returned — the chips were gone, clearly eaten by someone. It wasn’t about the value of the chips, but the lack of respect for guests' belongings and basic hospitality.

Customer service here is weak, and guests are treated more like money than people. I hope the hotel management reconsiders how they treat their customers in the future

Room was sort of clean, unswept floors, open ceiling in shower. Room was very moist, everything in the room was a bit wet, but after running the air conditioning all night it was much better. Room decor feels old, not modern.

I visited the Lara with the wife for a week mid march. I was a little worried as some of the reviews i had read had sort of put me off.
I would say however that these bad reviews were in the whole were unjust. Yes the rooms are a little tired and could do with an uolift. The staff were fantastic. The food was mainly soft due to the amount of people having Turkey teeth. Tge bar was over priced and the shop across the road was just daylight robbery, however thus isnt the staffs fault. If you want 5 star then thus isnt for you, but for a cheap holiday with friendly staff then go for it. They are building next door, again this isnt the fault of the staff or the hotel.

Check in was quick and on first impression the hotel looked good. On reaching the room and opening the door the first thing that hit you was the smell of stale tobacco smoke. The curtains and nets reeked. The beds were ok. The laminate flooring was loose in places with bits missing. As for the food, it was tepid at best. A great spread of fresh salad items and lovely fresh bread. The only thing that was consistently hot was the soup. Cats running around the restaurant area certainly didn’t help to give off a clean environment. On the plus side, the view from the room was nice. Would I stay again? NO.

Great stay. Hotel manager letting the place down!

Overall, a great stay. Recent upgrades to the pool area are excellent. Pool and surrounding areas are both superb! New restaurant serves great food and drink, although very pricey for Turkey. Breakfast buffet was fine for the price paid. Rooms are in need of an update, but we're very clean, air conditioning worked well and were serviced by housekeeping daily. Beds allowed for good sleep each night. Staff at the hotel are amazing. BUT, I was far from impressed with the attitude and approach of the hotel manager. When discussing the lack of hot water in my room for a second day running, and being accused of lying, this left me feeling less than pleased. Thankfully, the rest of the hotel staff don't operate on the same values as the management! Hopefully the manager reads this and takes note!

Good hotel,great location,reasonably priced

What a lovely hotel.The only criticism is the size of the standard room.Big enough just for two people and with a small balcony,but if the weather is good as it was during our stay,you wont spend much time in the room.
The staff were excellent overall and polite.The guys on reception were very efficient,the staff in the restaurant,especially the girls serving breakfast,were very good.
We only had breakfast in the hotel which offered a reasonable choice each day.The dinner buffet was well priced at £6 per person,but we prefer to eat out.
There is a good pool with plenty of sun beds and a nice bar.
The hotel is in a stunning position on a cliff-top,overlooking the sea,the view from the bedrooms is fantastic,and even better is the beach at the foot of the cliff,accessed by a large number of steps.If however you make the effort to go there you will be rewarded with a lovely sandy beach,with its own bar,and warm clear water.
Thank you Mr G for looking after us.
The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the waterfall,which is a must to see and just beyond is a number of really good and relatively cheap cafes and restaurants.
Ideal hotel as well for a visit to Antalya.
One thing not mentioned is the price of the hotel.It is excellent value for money.
We look forward to returning

Clean rooms and surroundings. Very friendly staff, food was excellent, great swimming pool and beach just below. All really let down by just having one very slow lift for 70 rooms. Continually going out of service - just the same as a previous visit in 2014. Wifi was painfully slow - 5 mbps! - and kept losing connection. By contrast, the little coffee bar about a kilometre away, had 180 mbps.
Needs another lift, or at least a new one, and an upgrade to the wifi.

First the positives - the hotel is in a excellent location on the edge of the beach. All the rooms have a great sea view. Bed was comfortable. Duden Waterfall are only 10 minutes walk away (worth seeing).

Be mindful that the area is a little run down. Hotel maintainence isn’t fantastic and cleanliness could be better. Breakfast also not great - but you get what you pay for and the low price still make it excellent value for a short stay.

This is not a beach hotel, however if you like the sea they have a deck located at the bottom of the cliff. Not for the unfit though as there are many steps.
The pool area is clean and safe and the bar area nice to relax in. If you are looking for rest and relaxation on a budet, then this is a good choice.

Tired hotel

On arrival the hotel seemed OK, but it only took a couple of days to realise it was not a good choice.
Although the room was clean, it was uncomfortable. There were only four hangers for our clothes and no iron. The air con was noisy when on and was not in a good position in the room. The bed near the window got blasted with cold air to the point of being in a blizard.
The air con was only turned on in the restaurant occasionally. Bearing in mind it was 40C+ on most days, it was like eating in a sauna. The food was OK, there was always something that was edible, but not a lot of choice.
The biggest problem was the \"music\" in the pool area. If you like European synthesised pop and rap played very loudly, you will love it!!! The staff were constantly being asked to turn it down, but it seemed to go back to deafening levels quite quickly. Perhaps that is the reason the pool was not very busy at all?
Aircraft pass directly over the hotel, so there is aircraft noise.

I was accepting better services and standard from this hotel however as disappointed with customer service, food and overall standards. Best thing was the private dive spot right behind the hotel where you can enjoy a day of diving and swimming. Thee staff was not friendly nor welcoming. The food as disaster as the food at the breakfast buffet was not labeled and you were not sure what is being served. It was bigger problem for us as we are veggies. When asked about what food is being served, they will pick on the food and check if it has meat or whether it was veg. Location is away from main Lara beach and the city center. Will not recommend or go back.

The hotel is rather dated, although clean. The Wi-Fi is frustratingly intermittent. The staff do their best to speak English, but the hotel tends to cater for Turkish and Russian speakers. The reception area is pleasant, although in the evening the air-con is switched off. The pool and area are cleaned daily. Breakfast is geared to the more local palate but is adequate with bread eggs and cheese. We ate in the restaurant once for dinner, and thereafter took a taxi to local restaurants (taxi fare is around 10 lira). The bathrooms are clean and modern, but there are no toiletries. The maid service is good and the rooms air conditioned. Planes fly over every few minutes but after a few you tend not to notice them. There were four weddings during the week we stayed, all located around the pool and pool bar. This did not impact or inconvenience guest and the music was over by midnight.

It was average (probably a little below average for a western traveler). If you are travelling from the US it was similar to say Red Roof or La Quinta. It wasn't exceptional. It wasn't bad either. It was cheap, and you get what you pay for. I booked it because it was next to a beach and wanted to swim and read everyday. It served that purpose. There are a few people at the reception desk. One of the guys was exceptionally nice. The internet sucked big time. I mean big time. If you are on the higher floors you need to go down to the lobby.

The biggest problem with the hotel is not that it is under the flightpath for the airport but the weddings in the pool area every Friday, Saturday & Sunday night. The music is VERY loud and when the adjacent hotel hosts weddings on the same night ( as happened on The Saurday & Sunday night during our stay) there is a Turkish Battle of the Bands........till around 11:00 pm........if you had an early flight little sleep would be had. Food was edible, prepared for the package tour market.
Breakfast was boring after 3 days.....

Not bad

I stayed at the hotel one night i arrived from a long trip
To Antalya i choose a cheap hotel just because i knew i will arrive at
Night and leave early in the morning. For the price i paid
I got more than i expected the hotel is located on the sea
Nice view from the balcony comfortable bed
Clean bathroom although there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom
I just didnt bother asking to change the room i closed the door and went to sleep
The breakfast was fine enough to get you on for the day
I would definitly stay there again if i choose to fly there again in a short trip only
One more thing the hotel transfere by taxi cost each way about $20

Quality base on price

we were there for 6 days, nice beach, nice weather, clean room , good breakfast and dinner but all about cost. in a 3.5 star hotel. it was good enough.
worst thing was smelling smoke in room specially when we turned A/C on. other thing is no body knows English very well!

Lara Hotel

Not a great place to stay. For some reason they are very keen on holding on to passports until the next day after check in, so that they can input details onto system. Didnt want that and insisted they input details straight away, which took all of 2 minutes!

Only advantage - it is close to airport

Lara hotel is close to Antalya airport, but that is only advantage. Otherwise hotel is old, design is ugly, rooms are uncomfortable, hallways smell like tobacco (probably smoking was allowed inside for many years). Staff is trying to be nice, but prohibiting posters all over front desk making it hard. Hotel hosts noisy wedding receprions. You can't relax in your room until band finishes playing downstairs. I would not recommend to stay in Lara Hotel unless you want to stay close to airport before your departure.

Lara Hotel, It was just OK

PROS:
* The hotel staff were all very courteous and friendly.
* The food service was clean and the food appeared fresh.
* The pool area was very nice and well maintained.
CONS:
* The \"complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access\" was only available in the un-air conditioned lobby, NO internet was available in the rooms.
* When I booked the room online, I asked for a double bed, but the staff said \"none of the rooms had double beds\", only single beds.
* The guest rooms are pretty small in comparison to my other hotel stays.
* The beach is actually a rock that is at the bottom of the steps (alot of steps). It is not a sandy beach, but yet is private and great place to swim with a sandy shallow bottom.
OVERALL:
* You sorta get what you pay for. Some would feel the place is adequate, others would not feel that way...I did save alot of money :).

Good hotel for airport convenience

We stayed in Anatalya for one night and enjoyed this hotel. We had been in Kas for a week. We had a morning flight and hotel was conveniently located 15 minute taxi ride to airport. Plus the pool and the ocean swimming were a nice bonus for an \"airport\" hotel. We rode a taxi from the central Antalya bus terminal, which was a pretty long ride. Taxis in Antalya turned out to be pretty expensive. The hotel had built in dinner and breakfast buffets. Overall a good deal.
