Hotel Baia Lara

it was our 1st trip to Turkey,after flight and hotel changes by our holiday company but when we arrived we got a great reception. was given plenty of info whats on at the hotel, rooms were great plenty of storage & mini bar which was refilled everyday towels as well. even though covid19 played a major part as well the staff & the hotel took every caution that they could to protect us & there selves so no worries there. the food was varied had a different menu every night. we had the alacarte meal one at €15 per person which gets charged at the end of your stay. the private beach is good plenty of sunlounges as well around the pools. will definitely look into staying again.we cannot thank the staff enough for the way looked after us during our stay.

Had a lovely 9 nights here and returned this morning. The hotel immaculately clean and felt covid safe and weather was amazing. I would have scored more but the entertainment wasn't as good as we expected. The food wasn't the best but we put that down to the covid situation. Toward the end of our stay we were made aware of the hotels closure next Thurs and things like the a la carte and parts of the resteraunt were shut off. It became very empty as everyone was leaving. One of the staff made us aware it was closing because of Boris announcement he said Its because the brits arnt coming they were book full from England. Such a shame as you could only wonder what the staff were going to do.

Just returned from a wonderful week spent in this high quality hotel. We had one of their larger partial sea view rooms which was a very good size. The bed was HUGE!! I did find the mattress far too hard for my liking but my husband didn’t. It was very well equipped and cleaned daily to a high standard. Everything topped up including toiletries and mini bar (sadly, the soft drinks were not diet so not consumed). The hotel was very spacious and well appointed. Plenty of indoor seating and plenty of sun beds around the numerous pools. We only used the adults only pool as it was quieter. There’s a fantastic selection of drinks at the bars including lots of imported spirits. All the staff were friendly and very efficient. The food in the restaurant was very varied every evening and they had a number of themed nights too. It was high quality and fresh. In fact, it’s the best hotel food I’ve ever eaten (and I’m very fussy!) so can’t rate it highly enough. The staff served us drinks at our table every meal time. They worked very hard. If you fancy a bit of luxury, hire a cabana on the beach for €50 from 10-5pm. You get pastries, fruit, ice cream, 2 bottles of champagne, drinks bowl and our server, Adem was amazing. He kept us in drinks from the bar all day! A lovely experience. We had 3 massage sessions in the spa which were ok but very expensive. We also did parasailing which cost €70 for 2 people. It was enjoyable but we were told we’d be in the air 10-12 minutes but in reality, it was 8 minutes so makes the activity very expensive. The hotel is in a great location. Walk along the beach in either direction to see all the wonderful surrounding hotels. Leave by the front door and there’s plenty of shops to browse in. Everything is priced in Euros but you seem to get a better deal if you pay in lira. Some of the evening entertainment was good (acrobats, salsa dancing) but the singers were dreadful in our opinion so we just couldn’t listen to them! We had a wonderful holiday and the hotel deserves their 5 stars!
