Lara Barut Collection

We had a wonderful stay at Lara Barut and we were so impressed with the high quality of all the amenities. The landscaping is really fabulous and you can tell that so much thought is going into the planning of the grounds. There were walls of jasmine that smelled amazing, and really beautiful different plants throughout the whole hotel. It's such a short transfer from the airport which is always so nice especially with kids. The rooms were a great size and had so many thoughtful touches like a hair dryer *and* straightener, an iron that actually worked incredibly well, and showers that had the most fantastic water pressure. The beds were also super comfortable and the rooms were very quiet. The room cleaners also did a great job coming at times that were convenient and leaving the rooms looking great. We've stayed at other nice all inclusives before like Ikos multiple times and 5 star hotels in the Seychelles and Mauritius and Lara Barut is in the same league while being a much better value for money. The food everywhere was so good. All of the restaurants and also the main buffet tasted really fantastic. It also wasn't necessary to constantly say our room number, sign slips, or constantly tell people we don't have food allergies which were all big pluses in our book. The only area where there could maybe be some small changes are the system for reserving at the ala carte restaurants as I really don't want to get on an app every day at 10 on my vacation to make sure I get a spot at the restaurant I'm interested in eating at and the app did not seem ideally set up for it but guest services was always able to help when/if things didn't work out initially. I also would have loved to see 2-3 more local white wine/red/rose wines included. I'm guessing having just one helps keep things efficient- which was another big plus- we basically never waited for anything, there was always plenty of staff at the different restaurants/bars/beach area, etc. But maybe it would be possible to have a special white or rose at the beach bar, a different one at the pool bar,etc just to add a bit of variety. But overall there were more than enough included drinks and we really have no complaints. The kids also loved that they had a nice selection of non-alcoholic cocktails for them- and of course great ice cream and sweets! The sports were fantastic, I did yoga and pilates and was impressed with both teachers and the indoor and outdoor spaces that the classes were offered in. I would love to see 1-2 more fitness classes offered per day that don't take place in the water but the aqua and beach gym classes were definitely very popular as well. My sons and husband were also impressed with the fitness room and it had a great selection of machines. There is also a great outdoor cross fit area tha was well maintained. There were also lots of fun activities like darts, pool, mini golf, volleyball etc offered every day and one of my sons really enjoyed many of those. We also played tennis almost every day and the courts are in great condition. My youngest son also absolutely loved the cat house, and the water slides. Again well maintained and very nicely done. As were the fantastic shows and fun events like a carnival set up on the grounds one evening, and lots of great live music. I mean to be honest there really wasn't anything we didn't love and we all agreed it was a great vacation. We normally don't like to visit the same spot more than once but we all had such a good time that I think we will definitely be back.

An excellent hotel with excellent value for money. The room is spacious, clean, and has a comfortable bed. The staff is very polite and helpful, and they gave us a complimentary room upgrade. Special thanks to Yadigar and Melike ❤️❤️❤️. The food is delicious and very varied. I definitely recommend it!
