We have just returned from another fab time at the Lara. We spent 2 weeks soaking up the sun and generally chilling which is never a problem here. The garden room we were in was,as always,clean and tidy with all the amenities we could need including toiletries, hairdryer, straighteners, coffee machine, fridge (stocked daily if required) and a balcony. As we were on the 3rd floor, I did use the lift which made life easier for me. Our lovely room cleaner kept things fresh and clean every day. Each day we would choose where we wanted to be. Sometimes the beach area where we could be all day as there's sun beds, a beach bar and eating places all nearby. Occasionally we would have a pool day at the main pool or a quiet day at the lagoon swim up area all of which ticked the boxes for the best time. We are fond of a game of boccia and usually join friends to play both in the morning and the afternoon. The entertainment team kept us all going with games every day and shows in the evening doing a fantastic job encouraging folks to join in. Yagmur, Buket, Martin, Amigo, Soltan and Pekcan are the guys responsible for all the fun and games 😊. I also joined in the sea gym which was a great laugh with Funda who was always so full of energy and motivation. Food and drink here at this hotel is excellent! From the a la carte restaurants to the pattiserie to any of the breakfast and lunch venues, we were never disappointed. We always found something to suit our tastes and had the pleasure of being served by the friendliest most helpful staff wherever we were. Cocktails, beer, wine ( branded drinks widely available) , teas, coffee and soft drinks as well as ice creams to keep you cool. We did have a favorite lunch venue which was at the Kumda Kirpi by the beach where we had the most awesome burgers. Aysegul, Kevser, Ebru, Mohammet, Abidi, Era, Nese, Bilal, Abdurrahman, Edem, Murat, Gunar, Emre, Gamzekbca, Ehren, Emine, Mohammed, Buse, Vedat, Bekir, Nurcan, Yasin, Mehtap, Beyza, Baris, Orkun, Oran, Gizem, Irem and Ozlem are some ( but not all ) of the staff who made our visits to the bars and restaurants the best they could be. A huge thanks to all those staff who made our stay so fabulous 😍.... until the next time 😊. A wee mention to the customer service guys, Tuba in particular, who helped when it was needed. Onur, the hotel assistant manager, was always very visible around the hotel and would regularly ask us how we were enjoying our holiday. I could write so much more about our stay here on our 7th visit, all along the same lines but I think you get the idea that we were happy to be here and will definitely be returning.
