Limak Lara Deluxe Hotel & Resort

Lovely location on Lara as usual, absolutely overwhelming that many people there , getting pushed by Turkish men to get to food before you , disgusting I thought, staff absolutely wonderful especially alesha in the bar , room ok got upgraded to family room as there was 7 of us and I am half Turkish, it was the lack of zero drinks there especially as am diabetic definitely not a 5 star only 4 I would say food was lovely but always cold

Friendly and helpful n supportive staff , Facilities are well organized and on point Daily activities are fun nd interesting. Our room had a broken door knob Shower drainage Was not working water stayed there. Hygiene is below average The entry to the restaurant smells like fish which is unpleasant. Food has very good variety , but taste is average. Location is super convenient , Thanks and good luck

Just spent ten days here and was worried about coming after reading some of the reviews, when we arrived late at night we were put into a ground floor room after booking sea view, this problem was rectified straight away and we were moved to the correct room. The pools are really good there’s so much pool space and quieter areas or more lively. The kids slides are good and there’s shallow pools for them, the big inflatable assault course they put into the water is fun. We rented cabanas and they were good, fruit plates cornettos and constant drinks brought to you. Some staff friendly some were quite rude as if they didn’t want to be there. Some areas of the hotel require refurbishment and maintenance with maybe upgrades to the decor but it doesn’t really affect the stay. Selection of drinks were good I liked that they had bottles and cans of coke instead of just Pepsi like a lot of the other hotels, can’t say anything about alcoholic drinks as we don’t drink. As a previous review said the ice cream was a very chewy unusual texture, would have preferred ice creams like cornettos or ice lollies instead. The overall cleanliness of the hotel could have been better some times, the outside toilet floors were always wet from people going from the pool into the toilets. The kids fest was a nice touch with all different bouncy castles, slides and games etc the kids enjoyed this. Overall we had a good stay here and don’t let the reviews put you off.

We stayed here as a family of five. Four of us are vegetarian, and three of our children have an egg allergy. We were genuinely impressed by how well the hotel takes dietary requirements and allergies into consideration. At the main buffet, there is a dedicated vegan corner, and the dishes are clearly labelled to indicate whether they contain egg. Something we also really liked is that the calorie count is displayed for each dish. Guests with allergies receive a red wristband, which makes it easier for the staff to recognise them. You can also speak directly to the chef, and they will prepare something separately if necessary. We felt very safe and well taken care of. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Demir. After such a tiring journey, he gave us so much positive energy. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and his enthusiasm immediately put a smile on our faces. At the buffet, we also had the pleasure of meeting Head Chef Vijay Singh. What an amazing chef! He prepared delicious Indian dishes every day. There was so much variety, and for vegetarians it really felt like a feast. This is honestly the first resort we have stayed at where we were able to eat well every single day as vegetarians. Usually, at all-inclusive resorts, the vegetarian options are quite limited and we end up eating mostly fries and pizza. That was absolutely not the case here. We also made use of the private beach pavilion, and we highly recommend it. You have cold drinks available in the fridge and staff come by to serve you drinks as well. Food is unfortunately not included at the pavilion, but the beach restaurant is only about a two-minute walk away. We ate there several times and really enjoyed the food, including penne and cheese pide. The staff were also very careful with the egg allergy. They checked twice to make absolutely sure that there was no egg in the pasta, which gave us a lot of confidence. Above the beach area, you will find the Turquoise Restaurant. You can have à la carte meals there between 12:00 and 18:00. We enjoyed eating there as well. They also have individually packaged ice creams available between 18:00 and 21:00. The only thing we were less impressed with was the scoop ice cream. We found the texture a little unusual and somewhat chewy, almost like chewing gum. But this is obviously a matter of personal taste. The rooms are beautiful as well. We stayed in a family room with direct access from the balcony to the private swimming pool via a small staircase. This was absolutely fantastic! Having your own private pool, with sun loungers, is such a luxury. If the loungers are occupied, you can also relax on your own terrace, and drinks are available inside the building. There is always a lifeguard present at the pool, which is reassuring, especially when travelling with children. The family room has three comfortable beds. The sofa beds are a little less comfortable, but our children didn't really mind. The room also has two TVs, one of which is a Smart TV. Unfortunately, we were unable to connect the Smart TV to our phone. The Wi-Fi connection around the swimming pools was quite weak and sometimes disappeared completely, but inside the main building the connection was good. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Limak Lara. For us, the excellent attention to allergies, the huge variety of vegetarian and (non)vegan food, the friendly staff and the private pool made this a very enjoyable family holiday. We would definitely consider coming back!

Very disappointing experience. The food variety was extremely limited and nowhere near what you would expect for the price we paid. Unfortunately, the quality and overall experience simply do not justify the cost. We were genuinely disappointed and definitely did not feel that we got value for our money. I would not recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.
