Really enjoyed the stay as a family of 9 with all age groups. From check in to check out - seamless world class experience. Rooms are spacious with balconies, restaurants both buffet and a la carte had plenty of options. We celebrated 2 birthdays and the staff made an extra effort to make us feel special. The younger folks 17,15,12,8 loved the many activities that the resort offers. The grass tennis court and the water slides were a big hit. The beach and beach bar were perfect for the older folks. Real good value for money and real good people

Lobby and lobby bar can have better ambience

The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Any question or concern was quickly addressed. The staff at the Kids Club are great. The property itself is kept spotless and clean.

At a property like this, you expect to be able to charge services to your room. It's very annoying to have to remember to bring a card, or go back to your room if you forget. My wife had a bad experience at the salon because her cards didn't work, despite just using one at the spa. Since there is no ATM on property, she had to make an unpleasant walk to get cash. Definitely not a 5-star experience.

Summary (detailed review later below): Lara Barut all-inclusive is a perfect place for a unwinding and relaxing get-away. The entire experience, from the check-in to the stay and check out was amazing. The staff goes out of their way to offer a 5-star hospitality and comfort. The food options are unlimited, there are activities throughout the day for all age groups, and the rooms are spectacularly designed and comfortable. This is a 10/10 hotel experience, especially for those wanting to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The hotel resort: This is easily one of the best all-inclusive resorts in antalya with a massive area.There are 4 al'a carte restaurants, 1 open buffet (Zestful bazaar), other cafes and bars. There are 5 swimming pools, out of which 2 are heated (1 indoor, 1 outdoor). There are activity areas for archery, mini golf, tennis, volleyball etc. The beach is extremely clean and accessible at all times. In addition to this, there is an aqua park, a cat-park and parking for your car. Rooms: We booked the penthouse suite with a Turkish hamam (which included steam, sauna and a jacuzzi). This was easily the most spacious and luxurious room we've stayed in at, and it was quite reasonable for the facilities offered. Restaurants: There is a pleathora of options available at Lara Barut, including veg, non-veg, gluten free, vegan etc. All food items we tried were delicious. The chefs table in the Zestful Bazaar gives you the chance to try unique dishes on a daily basis. We would like to highlight the exceptional service provided by Mr. Ender at the Weik A'la carte restaurant. He recommended excellent choices and was highly attentive to our requests. There's no way you can leave Lara Barut without putting on a few kilos. Activities: There was not a day where we didn't have an activity to do; even on the days there was heavy rain.

There is nothing to dislike at this hotel. However, it would be really nice if they could add cycling as well.

Staff service could have been better. WE had certain dietry requirments, but they could not deliver.

everything was amazing

price

Very friendly helpful and caring staff. You can just relax and they guess desires. There is a swimming pool with sea water, where you can spend a great time in the heat, an excellent gym, food around the clock. Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. I have never seen such a variety of food anywhere. Each dinner is themed - a cuisine of a certain direction. Animation all day for children and adults, a beautiful beach with sifted sand. You can write a lot. Any area in the hotel at the highest level. Highly recommend

A real trifle, but personally we had a problem with hair conditioner and body cream. In a hotel of this level, we did not take these things with us, we expected that it would be in the room. Initially, there was a body cream. But, when the hair conditioner and body cream ran out, it didn't get updated. We had to ask for it again and again. Maybe it was just us

Service was Excellent Great Shows at night Kids area is very nice

Restaurant needs reservations and it was full during my stay

Probably the best all inclusive hotel in the world, high quality of infinite food choices and restaurants every day, everything was planned to offer the best possible experience for clients! I don’t know how they managed to do it but Kudos to the team!

Perfect !

Expensive

ideal with children

soundproofing in the rooms is not perfect, you can hear music at night and how guests come late at night after a party. in general, the hotel is good, but you should definitely not expect "haute cuisine".

The food was amazing, staff was exceptional. They really work hard on entertaining guests we didn't even felt time passing away. Every day there are entertainment programs, food is available round the clock even in middle of night. At pool and bars constantly staff is coming with drinks, snacks , juices. Everything seems to work perfectly. We had fun and highly recommend. The room assistants are perfect. Tugba went out of the way to book for us a restaurant which was already fully booked. Ege and Zhanna were amazing too

The only one thing i missed was some excursions there was no tours from hotel. Addition of a shuttle to visit city would be a great thing. Although we didn't even step out of the hotel they kept us entertained all the time but we didnt see Antalya at all.

Everything. Loved the stay and the service. The entertainment as well

The cocktails felt watered down, would recommend sticking to straight drinks.

all was good 👍 service, room, people that provide the service, food and non alcohol drinks

I was fully satisfied

I will start with the room. The room was modern and very specious. It had all the necessary amenities. The hotel looks fresh and very well looked at. The food was excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. House keeping staff was great as well. The beachfront and the bar at the beach are amazing. I would also mention the guest relations team. They have been great. They reserved me A La Carte restaurant for my birthday 😊 They have been communicating with me through WhatsApp to ensure I am having a comfortable stay. I enjoyed the live music Duo Elif & Aytaç on my first night. They were both excellent great performance. I would have be happy to watch them perform every night during my 3 night stay 😊 Overall great beachfront hotel in Lara - Antalya, very well managed, excellent food choices and amazing staff. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking to stay in Lara. I would definitely come back to this hotel at some point this year. Thank you Lara Barut team and keep up the good work 😊

Lovely hotel with beautiful grounds and friendly staff who could not have done more to make our stay better. There were ample facilities in the hotel, the food was excellent and the private beach and playgrounds were brilliant for our little one. He loved the mini disco in the evenings too. Thank you to you all for a wonderful stay

The pool temperatures inside and outside were a little cool for us. The room did get quite warm overnight and due to the time of year the air conditioning couldn’t be turned on. It was quiet enough though to be able to sleep with the windows open which was totally comfortable for us

It is well-equipped with facilities and professional staff who will go up and beyond to make your stay fantastic. I want to thank all the ladies who accommodated our request in their "WhatsApp Service" Sahar, Melike, and especially Tugba Yadigar and Ege.

The staff in all areas were very professional, if not very friendly, except for one spot. Some front desk staff members were rude and passive-aggressive on numerous occasions. Try to minimize your contact with them and book online because once you're in, the rest is mostly good.

The staff were super friendly, such as Anastasia from events. Sahar Tuğba fulya yadigar and Melike, made my son's 12th birthday incredibly memorable. When we had an issue with the bathroom, maintenance arrived within 10 minutes and fixed it.

The additional facilities, such as haircut and massage are overpriced.

In general all is at a quite a good level (staff, facilities, friendliness, rooms, food, service orientation, animation, knowledge of foreign languages) but nothing is excellent or surpassing the expectations if we take the relatively high price into consideration. No major weak points, except maybe the lack of personalisation (see below). The cleaning service is excellent, so are the greenery and maintenance services. I will only return, with different expectations, if price is sharper. I stayed from January 21 to 27, 2023 in a (more expensive) room with direct pool access via the terrace.

All processes are (too) standardised. For example, at birthday, everyone receives the same balloon (even the same color), and same standard cake, irrespective of age. Even for kids, there are no candles on the cake or song or personal naming/approach. Truly disappointing... Not all staff greets you when passing you into the corridors. I just felt like another person of the anonymous crowd. The (apps) reservation system for the restaurants is not working properly because of standard rejections and bad booking logistics. Reception is clinical and sharp, but they seem over-trained with "feel good" answers and not genuine. Again this discomforting standardisation.. I submitted these observations at leave day to the hotel via their feedback (apps) system.
