Liberty Hotels Lara Beach

Our family of 4 have just had a great week at this hotel. On arriving we were checked in quickly with welcome drinks by helpful staff, and able to get a late night bite to eat. The weather was hot, the pools are lovely. The drinks are great. The food was delicious, plentiful and varied. The entertainment was a bit hit and miss. The teenager club was great, never saw much of my 10 year old but my 7 year old was not interested in the activities for him and to be honest I never saw much going on. Each day the young lad who ran the teenager club came to get my 10 year old son involved, by telling him what was on and where. This was great. The evening entertainment was good from my point of view, magicians, acrobatics, dance, very BGT, but my kids got bored of this. We all loved the Mr Liberty night, hilarious! Well done who ever thought of this. All the staff here work hard, and are polite and welcoming, they are what make this hotel. The lobby area of this hotel has a wow factor, and is stunning to walk into but our room was a total disappointment. This is my only negative about the holiday and it is probably TUI that are to blame? The room we had for the 4 of us was a large double, it’s not a family room, and frankly it’s uncomfortable for 4. There was not enough space to put clothes, I lived out of my suitcase as there was not enough space to hang clothes for 4. The wardrobes are tiny, with shelf space required. I heard people in reception complaining and arguing about the room allocated. The hotel were correct in saying that is what was booked. We were aware it was only a large double when booking, and thought we would manage for a week but we needed more space having done it. The other thing about the room is the beds. I have never slept so badly on holiday in my life. The walls are paper thin, the child to our left woke at 6am each morning and we could hear every word that family said. We got in late each night, so probably disturbed them to. The beds are rock hard. The pillows are awful, cheap fibre pillows which have seen better days. The sofa bed was terrible as well, my son never stopped whining about it. Last year we stayed at a 4 star tui family life hotel and the standard of comfort in that room was far superior to this, I don’t know if we were spoilt, as they had a pillow menu! We all had terrible neck and back pain from the beds and pillows at the Liberty, not what I would have expected for a 5 star. I know it’s a little thing but a good nights sleep whilst away is important. All in all a great week. Thanks Liberty staff.

Well where do I start? Had a fantastic 7 days in this fabulous hotel. Everything from check in, room service, the whole all inclusive package was absolutely perfect. So many staff always go above and beyond to help you with your needs and requests. Special mention for guest relations member Mustafa who was amazing friendly, along with the other female guest relations member of staff (sorry I didn’t get her name). Only criticism (which is in no way related to hotel) is do not book any excursions or trips with TUI rep within the hotel as TUI quote overly extortionate prices, compared to what the reps outside of hotel offer you. Again, this is no fault of the TUI reps themselves and purely the blame lies with TUI themselves.
