Lara Barut Collection

Our Second Home – Simply World-Class This is our fourth stay at Lara Barut Collection, and it truly feels like our second home. Hard to imagine, but the hotel has become even better. The food is now even more refined, the presentation has improved significantly, and the drinks selection continues to surprise us — they even serve Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte now. The shows are world-class. Simply world-class. Compared with Barut Arum, where we stayed last year, the difference is enormous. Unfortunately, we were disappointed there and found it hard to believe that both hotels belong to the same hotel group. The Kids Club deserves a special mention. Our daughter absolutely loves it. The entire team — especially Rosa, Cennet, Gizem, Zarina, Yasmina and Ayşezim — is warm, attentive and simply outstanding. For us, Lara Barut remains the best hotel. We are already looking forward to our next holiday in our second home.

We liked so much the hotel. Our staying was wonderful thanks a lot to all guest relation team especially Karina, Alper, Yadigar you are the best

Great hotel and brilliant staff. Enjoyed the whole trip. Food was excellent and the entertainment was also great. Pools maintained properly and all areas of the hotel kept clean and tidy. Special mention to Mehtap at the bar who looked after us really well. Plus so many others. Would recommend to anyone. So much to do and so much to eat. Amazing place

Just returned from a week at the Lara Barut with family, ages ranging from 6 to 75. Overall we had a fabulous week and the hotel lived up to our expectations from the many great reviews we had read. Echo what others have said regards the food quality and variety, it was amazing for an all inclusive and we rarely favour a buffet usually but the one here was so good that we ate there the most. Rivals buffets in Ikos resorts, Dubai hotels and places in Asia we have been to. Staff are all really friendly and helpful and for an All Inclusive hotel the level of service & cleanliness in all areas is definitely worth highlighting and the hotel deserves praise for this. Tables were rarely left uncleared and there were no long waits to be served. There are plenty of sun-loungers everywhere and we never had an issue getting them at the pool or beach at any time of the day (first week in July). Drink quality was also great, we were apprehensive as have experienced some dire wine in other hotels but we have to say the cocktails and wine/sparkling wine on offer were all perfectly drinkable and actually pretty good, premium brand gin and vodka etc. Evening entertainment was nice and there was often something on offer for all, although it would have been nice to have had more of a lounge/cockatil type setting in the hotel for late drinks, the lounge is quite dark and dreary in our opinion and lacked atmosphere so we tended to have a drink after dinner a the pool bar. Our 3 rooms were within the Lagoon area which we really liked. It is set back from the main hotel complex with it's own lagoon pool and swim up bar. It was really peaceful and we loved heading back to this pool to finish the day with a swim and drink. Rooms were comfortable, albeit on the small side for standard rooms, and kept meticulously clean by the fabulous cleaning staff. The what's app customer relations service at the hotel was great and nothing was too much trouble with super quick responses. Some constructive criticism more to inform that to complain in case it helps others to decide if this is the right hotel for them. The picture you see of the pool/beach gives you an idea of how far apart these two areas are and for us we would have preferred to have a pool area closer to the sea, you're unable to see the beach from the pool and that is just something we would have preferred. As with many All Inclusive resorts there is an animation programme around the pool with games for those age 13+ but sadly for us this meant our kids couldn't take part and the music played at this time was beyond loud each day between 11.45-1pm. It put us off spending time at the pool during this time and we favoured the beach which was a lot more calm! On the topic of noise there is, through no fault of the Lara Barut, a considerable volume of music noise coming from the hotel next door. This detrimentally impacts the dining experience at the lovely Sandal restaurant at lunch and dinner which is a real shame and as said is no fault of this hotel. Finally just a consideration that may be useful too for those travelling with children aged 7-12 - the waterpark has height AND weight restrictions on most of the bigger slides. This meant only our 13 year old could go on them unaccompanied by an adult, despite the other 3 boys in our family exceeding the height limit of 120cm for some slides they were not heavy enough even in a pair to ride them. It was a real frustration for us and although my sister and I enjoyed taking them on a few times we had rather hoped the children would all be able to go off independently and enjoy this area without us! The 3 smaller slides on offer for children under 6/7 are really quite basic compared to other hotel waterparks we have experienced but ours found themselves using them for the majority of the time. So just a heads up to check these restrictions if the waterpark is an important consideration for your holiday. Overall we had a really enjoyable week away and it was fantastic value for money. We would have no hesitation revisiting this or another Barut group hotel.

This hotel is amazing cannot fault anything at all just a lovely holiday experience all round, the entertainment team are fantastic got us all involved in games & amigo got us up dancing 💃 really enjoyed every entertainment night fantastic job everyone, would highly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking about going
