All-Inclusive Stays in Lara

Everything was wonderful. The staff excellent, special thanks for Tugba and Anna, who were by our side in whatever we needed, during our stay.

I had searched a lot for the most perfect hotel for our stay and I believe I found the best. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left we were satisfied and happy. Before arrival of course I had read a lot of comments (positive and negative) and I just cannot agree with some people’s criticism. In my opinion every staff member is kind and helpful and they speak English as much as it is needed for the job. I clearly did not want to discuss literature with any of them so what I needed to talk about was completely catered for. What you need to pay extra for is clearly communicated. There are a la carte restaurants, if someone wishes to dine in any of them, they need to pay. Originally we had planned to try some, but finally we didn’t as the buffet restaurant (which is included in the price) was perfect and we could always find something to our taste. They have themed nights (Turkish, Mexican, Italian, Seafood) but even then you can find plenty of other options. During the day (if you are still hungry 😃), you can always find something to eat in the plenty of bars on the territory. Ice cream for the children and drinks for the adults. They even tried to make similar looking mocktail for my daughter so that she would feel we drink the same 😃 The wifi is mostly excellent! I was facetiming friends even by the sea. We had a photoshoot with the photographer guys and we love those pics. Thanks for them! However, my daughter was afraid of the big parrot, even those pictures are great. Special thanks to Irina at Guest Relations, who organised packed lunch for my girl for our journey home. It was a lot and very delicious. Guest Relations paid special attention to us anyway because we didn’t travel with an agency so they wanted to make sure that we really feel safe and content.

Wow, this hotel is truly fantastic!! All-inclusive, super clean rooms and 24/7 food available. Close to the beach and unlimited drinks. I will definitely come back again!! There is a shuttle to the beach and everything was organized so well. Would like to thank everyone from Grand Park Lara for ensuring we had everything we needed to explore Antalya.

Our stay at Winds of Lara was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and mostly clean. They had all the necessary toiletries and a mini bar with still and sparkling water, juice and beer, that was being refilled every other day. You don’t have to bring a beach towel from home, you can be given one at the hotel. The food was good, very diverse with many options at all the meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late night snack were provided at the main restaurant, and there were also meals provided at the beach bar and at the pool bar, so we could always have something to eat. The cocktails were tasty and unexpectedly strong. The lobby bar was open from 8 AM to 2 AM, and there were multiple bars across the resort, so we could always get a beverage when we wanted to. In the hotel, there were shops, a spa, a gym and a game center. The staff was incredibly friendly. There were also a lot of activities that you could participate in (water polo& fitness at the pool, volleyball at the beach, zumba) and there were shows every night at the arena. The pool area was nice and clean and you could always find a beach bed even though our stay was at peak season. The aquapark was enjoyable, but it was mostly for kids and it was open only four hours a day. The beach was good too and it had a beverage bar and a snack bar. To arrive to the beach, you can get a bus from and to the hotel that leaves every half hour or you can get on the boat, which was very fun and quick. The boat leaves once an hour. You could also walk to the beach. It didn’t take us long, around 10 minutes. There were a lot of paid water activities you could do at the beach. The area in which the hotel is located is good, about 20 to 30 minutes from the airport and there are a lot of bazaars around. There is also a transfer service to the airport, arranged by a third-party at the hotel, for €30.

Liked everything and how all the amenities and activities were located close to the hotel and shuttle buses being provided. Especially loved having Starbucks coffee everyday and unlimited drinks. Workers were great, helpful and professional.

From the reception to the rooms to the meals, everything was excellent!

Very nice good for family thank you will be back again

Very good it’s worth with children

The resort is exceptional spotlessly clean with delicious food and well-appointed rooms. The staff are consistently attentive and helpful; for example, if your drink is nearly finished, they promptly bring you a fresh one. The buffet is always well-stocked with a wide variety of dishes, and there are additional dining options available by the pool area and other restaurants. 1 restaurant offers either Italian, fish or Turkish every night, you need to book and everything is included in the price. There are water slides for young children and adults, there are cabanas etc. The indoor pool is excellent, and the spa facilities are outstanding. My family and I booked a full massage package, and not only were we offered a discount, but they also provided a complimentary children's treatment for my son. The hammam baths are also a highlight and the massage was perfect. The bars are open throughout the day, and there’s a 24-hour restaurant available as well. Housekeeping staff are friendly and accommodating—even if not all speak fluent English, they make every effort to assist. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Crystal Centro.

We stayed for a weekend getaway without small kids. The territory is compact, but there’s a running path around the hotel and a gym. The spa was excellent — clean, modern, good hammam, and massage, although pricey as expected. We really appreciate the hygienic approach in the restaurant: food is served behind glass by staff wearing gloves, and everything is kept very clean. Public areas, including restrooms, were clean. We were sitting more or less at the same table in the main restaurant and the staff memorised our choice of drinks, that was lovely! Rooms are decorated in a modern style — a great choice for those who don’t like the traditional Turkish decor. The beach was clean, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Despite some moments when there was loud music coming from the different stands. Some observations for travellers: The sea entrance is not ideal for small children — it gets deep quickly, and the first steps into the water are over broken shells, which makes it impossible to sit or play in the water. Most guests were Russian or Turkish, and Russian music was common — not a problem for us, but may not suit everyone. We didn’t attend the entertainment shows, so we can’t comment on them. We will consider this hotel for future short stays, but with my toddler, I will go for a different hotel.
