Adalya Elite Lara

We went in the beginning of March, some outdoor facilities like the wave pool and the beach bar were closed being out of season but we expected this did not phase us. There were some building works going on but again this is normal for hotels to do upgrades out of season and it shows that they are investing to make the hotel to an even better standard. We really appreciated the indoor pool which was nice and warm, usually these pools aren't warm enough, this one was perfect! The hotel is exceptionally clean, rooms as well. Food was excellent and we enjoyed it very much. Staff were very friendly and tentative. The hotel is a little bit out of the old town so not that convenient for exploring the area. The lobby area was a nice place to relax and the only thing that would make it better is charging points.

Let me start by saying if we came in a couple of weeks (came over easter) this would've been a 5 star review. Im going to give it a generous 4 star based on potential. I have been to at least half a dozen Antalya hotels in the Side and Lara regions and I would say that this would have been up there with them. I'll start with the negative. When we came, the main swirly pool, that is the real sell point as you look through the pictures, was closed for maintenance. In addition to that so was at least one other pool, one major snack area and the amphitheatre for shows. Also the beach peir was closed. I appreciate the time of year we came , not all facilities 'should' be open to accommodate me but the main restaurant was always busy so it seemed that this was possibly poor timing. On top of that a couple of the closed amenities are big ones. The positives far outweigh the negatives. The adult pool (nice idea btw) was crowded but warm and the indoor pool felt heated as well. The main restaurant was decent in line with other hotels and do themed food nights. The other snack area where you can get fresh kebabs, burgers and pizzas etc was a level above what I've seen in the past. The rooms were very nice. We didn't have a great view but we didn't pay to upgrade but no complaints there and the shower was exceptional. Although no shows were on due to the theatre closed, the bands in the main lobby bar were great each night. We also had premium drinks served by most waiters which was class. I think if everything was open, this would score an easy 5. Its still high but could have been more.

Just checking out today after an 8 night family stay and this hotel is superb and will not disappoint if you are looking for a luxury family trip!! Spotlessly clean - Hizir never stopped in the lobby bars, super friendly and efficient bar staff, special mentions to Kadir in the downstairs bar, Yusuf in the lobby bar and Aydin from the roller team who made our stay even more special due to their attentive and personable service - easily the 3 standout team members during our stay. Great choice of food in the main restaurants and also the snack bar at lunchtime, kids loved the ice cream and waffle bar, loads to do to keep our 4 and 10 year olds occupied - whether that be the splash pool, main outdoor pool, indoor pool on our 1 bad weather day, water park, football pitch and amusement rides. Would 100% recommend and book again - and great value at this time of year. Thank you for such a memorable stay Team Adalya.

The rooms are perfect! Staff are very friendly! But this hotel is a nightmare for couples…extremely loud all the time, absolutely no corner where we could find peace. There are screaming crying and running children everywhere…we even went into the night club and there were children running all around. There are no adult activities and everything is centered around loud family activities. Walls are paper thin and we could hear the kids screaming and parents fighting in the other room. The AC also didn’t work and despite asking that it be fixed, it wasn’t so we left the balcony door open and heard cars and people chattering all night. Incredible variety of food but subpar taste. The à la carte restaurant was kindly complimentary for us but the Asian food was actually bad (got shredded duck in a tortilla at an Asian restaurant). Apart from the food, we thought we’d have a romantic dinner in the smaller quaint restaurant but it was so loud with crying and screaming children and adults. We also could not leave the facility because Ubers refused to come to this hotel and taxis only took Euros and Lira. The hotel is beautiful with lots to do but if you’re looking for peace romance and rest, this isn’t the place.

Just returned from our 8th stay at Adalya Elite Lara Hotel, Antalya, Turkey. Again, this hotel did not disappoint. Upon entering the grand lobby to reception, we were met by the friendly and very helpful Hamza who checked we were happy with our room on the 5th floor before we were assisted with our cases to our room. The room as always was spotless and very spacious with a lovely see view. Meal times are calm and stress free in the adults only restaurant. Great choice of food, amazing cakes and helpful staff always at hand. Every evening there is live music catering a little less for English guests (sorry), bingo and kareoke on a Saturday. Amazing cocktails and smoke 'ice' show by the very talented Mahmut. I looked for him every night to make my cocktails!! Special shout out to Ramazan also at Mahal bar, always nice to see a familiar friendly face. One downside was the rainy weather, but that was out of the hotels control ha!! Keep up the great work guys, i'll be back.
