Wonderfull vacation, the best food and beverage you can ever find, the best animation team and programs arround the pools and the beach. The rooms are very big and comfortable.
The kids had great time at the slides, the teanagers had good time also with their rich programs.
This was the third time in Limak Lara. Things are just as great as the first time. Friendly people, great rooms, very nice food and superb animation for young and old. Also the possibility to rent a pavilion near the swiming pool is fantastic. You really feel yourself a sultan for a day (or more). We also enjoyed the private tennis lessons and we had a great diving experience inclusive photo's and video. It was our third time in Limak lare but it was certainly not our last time. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful week! We, husband, i and daughter 14 years, were terribly spoiled! Personal extremely friendly!! tried all they could. Some spoke good englisch some less, but no problem in communicating. Special compliment for house keeping: mrs. Melek! She was so friendly, food was good, every night another specialty: italian, dutch, german, fish night, for all people enough variety. Friendly overall, BUT saw some guests who really were arrogant, towards the personal but they stayed friendly! Pool very nice, always enough space for all people. YOU ARE WORTH 5 STARS!! Thank you for such a nice holiday week!

Children enjoyed their holiday, but I am not going to return to this hotel. 9 out of 10 times we had to stand up to order our drinks ourselves, after waiting for more than 5 or 10 minutes and finishing our meal without a drink. We had to stand in line for food many times and several times when it was our turn, there was nothing left and it took to long before it was refilled.
Hotel was clean, minibar was filled everyday, but next time we will choose another hotel in Lara. Animationteam 2012 was great, especially Lion King show.
We enjoy our vacation. Your Hotel is very Good. The Animationshow are very Great. But the Service of your Personal is terrible. The are Not able to speak english as well and they are very unfriendley. Your Service i behind two Stars.r
We returned from the Limak Lara a week ago after having a truly fantastic holiday.
We, myself husband and 2 boys (5 and 7yrs) spent 11 days and nights and honestly have nothing to complain about.
The rooms: we were on the 1st floor, plenty of room for the 4 of us (standard room), air conditioning was excellent, cleanliness excellent, mini bar stocked by 10 am every day, kids loved the cola and fanta, we enjoyed the beer, maybe more than 2 cans would have been appreciated each day!
The Pools: amazing! We spent most of our time around one of the 3 'kids' pools as the boys spent all their time on the slides or in the splash pool, incredibly well life guarded, sometimes they ere a little whistle happy, but we felt very confident letting the kids go off and play whilst we relaxed in the (very hot) sun!
The main pools were a little deep for the kids so we did need to supervise them in there but we enjoyed going on 'the journey', going around every one of the pools!
Sunbeds: At the beginning of our holiday we had no issues here, as the hotel got busier we did need to get up and as much as I hate to do it 'reserve' our beds, I've come to realise that these days it is the norm :-(
The beach: great! not my ideal place to be as I can't bear the sand getting everywhere! However the beach was clean, well serviced and very nice to go to, the pier was lovely and again there was a life guard on hand.
The food: no complaints there! The main buffet restaurant was always well stocked with many different types of foods, lots of freshly grilled items, plenty of salads, national dishes, international dishes, trust me you could not go hungry!
We choose to eat at the 3 free a la carte restaurants on 4 occasions, each was great, the Turkish was superb so we went twice, Tandori was also great and the Fish was very pleasant sat next to the beach.
Thoroughly recommend visiting them, booking was not a problem, service was great it is a great respite from walking two kids around the buffet getting them to decide what to eat as at these restaurants you choose from a menu.
Through the day you had many restaurants and snack bars to choose from, we preferred either going to the buffet for some air conditioned respite or to the Fish restaurant (Sandals) as the breeze from the sea hit you there!
If pizza and burgers are your thing the Raven provided this during the day.
The entertainment: again no complaints, a very professional set up, talented team who provide enough entertainment throughout the day if you want it and some enjoyable shows in the evenings, if its not your thing the hotel has so much space and in the evening the Oasis bar is a great bar to sit, play cards and relax in.
Do go to see the Mama Mia show and the Russian Childrens Circus, which was amazing!
Kids used the kids club on a drop in basis, went on a banana boat, organised by the kids club (10 euros each), went to a magic show and did a bit of 'art and craft'. The girls running this were all great with the kids particularly as many nationalities were there.
Hotel in general: this is a big hotel with 500 odd rooms, however if you have booked this you will have known that so don't be surprised to learn you have to do a fare bit of walking to get around the complex.
We found that walking was quicker than waiting for the lifts and meant you discovered bars and areas that if you get the lift every time you may not have stumbled across.
The hotel is clean, staff are very helpful and work so hard to make your stay enjoyable.
This is an international hotel, Danish were probably the majority with Germans and Russians also, not a huge amount of British which for us was fine. We had been warned of 'pushy' foreigners being in Turkish Hotels, we did not experience any of this, everyone was polite and courteous.
We had a small incident requiring a hospital visit after my son split his head open, the service and care the hotel gave was great and left us feeling assured that all would be ok.
We could have been anywhere in the world as we only left the hotel for about 1 hour to visit the shops, this was exactly what we wanted, the point being if you are looking for Turkish culture, Lara Beach is not the resort for you, but if you want a stress free family friendly holiday with a short transfer time then it is perfect!
All in all a great holiday, I would have no reservations about returning to the Limak Lara and hope all who visit have as great a time as us!
