Wyndham Garden Lara

My family and I recently returned from a 12-day stay at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Lara, Antalya, and I felt compelled to share our experience. This is an honest and heartfelt review from someone who has stayed at both Wyndham Garden and Ramada Resort on multiple occasions. We’ve visited the Ramada once and Wyndham Garden Lara twice—and we’re already planning to return to Ramada next year to even it up! Please take a moment to read this carefully and don’t be swayed by the few negative reviews you may come across. Exceptional Service – A Special Shout-Out First and foremost, a massive thank you to Asiye Gök, the incredible Guest Relations Manager. Over the course of our three visits, she has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our stays were smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. She arranged a private meeting room for me during a working holiday (on Friday, 25th July), and was always available to resolve Wi-Fi issues swiftly. Her professionalism, warmth, and can-do attitude are unmatched. Asiye is kind, empathetic, dedicated, and truly an asset to both Wyndham Garden and Ramada Resort. She deserves top recognition and a 5-star rating. My advice to future guests: if you ever need help, speak to the Guest Relations Team—they’re exceptional and genuinely care. Why We Keep Returning We’re a well-travelled family, and Wyndham Garden/Ramada Resort Lara is the only hotel we’ve ever returned to—not once, not twice, but three times. That says everything about the quality, consistency, and value offered here. Because of our consistently positive experiences, we confidently recommend both hotels to colleagues, friends, and family. A family friend has already booked a holiday for April 2026 for her family of five based solely on our recommendation. Activities & Facilities You’ll never be bored! There’s something for everyone: lawn tennis, table tennis, beach volleyball, pool games—the list is endless. What’s more, guests at either Wyndham or Ramada can access amenities at both hotels, which are conveniently located opposite each other. The beach is less than a five-minute walk away, or you can hop on the regular shuttle. I used the gym daily, which was clean, well-equipped, and perfect for maintaining my routine while away. Food & Dining The food options are abundant and cater to all dietary needs, including mine—I have a medical condition, and on each visit, I was well looked after. Whether you’re a picky eater or have dietary restrictions, you’ll always find something delicious to enjoy. My children also dined at one of the à la carte restaurants and absolutely loved it. Dedicated Staff The staff at both hotels—from housekeeping to reception, entertainment to bar service—work incredibly hard. Our Family Suite was cleaned daily, the minibar restocked regularly, and any request we had was handled within minutes. Their tireless commitment to guest satisfaction was both humbling and impressive. A heartfelt thank you to these wonderful team members for their professionalism and friendliness: • Asiye Gök – Guest Relations Manager- She is truly Iconic • Senol, Yavuz, Kaan, Murat, ZuHRENAZ – Reception • Ozan & Ahmet – Bellboys • Aysu, Nermin & Büşra – Guest Relations • The lovely lady on the morning shift who allocated our room (name forgotten but much appreciated) • The friendly hotel driver (elderly gentleman) Location & Convenience The location is fantastic—just hop on bus LC07 or LC07A and you’re in the town centre in no time. There are plenty of nearby shops selling clothes, shoes, and accessories at great prices. Final Thoughts We’ve come to regard Ramada Resort and Wyndham Garden Lara as our second home. We’re already making plans to return next year and every year after, God willing. I love it, my wife loves it, and our children love it too. So, to anyone reading this: Don’t be discouraged by a few negative reviews. Just book. Go. Experience it for yourself. You’ll have the time of your life.

Just came back from a week here with my partner. The hotel is well maintained and cleaned consistently which is good. The maids come at different times. We would usually go down breakfast around 9am and then go back up to the room for about 10 to get changed and head down to the pool or out for the day. Sometimes the room was done and other times it wasn’t. The were a couple of days we were exhausted from the late nights, all the activities we were doing or the heat so we would head to the room after lunch for a couple of hours sleep with our room still not being done and being woken up in the later afternoon when the maids finally reached our room. Food was really good to be honest. Lots of choice and set out really well. The best all inclusive food wise I’ve been to. The staff were great as well and happy to help. We managed to get in at the Asian Al La Carte on our last night and was really looking forward to it. The menu is very limited but we opted for the meal we know well ‘sweet and sour chicken’. When it came it looked really well presented and appetising. However, it was completely flavourless and I couldn’t finish it. They really did really try with it because I’ve never had meal that tasted of absolutely nothing. Being British I obviously tried all the cocktails and found the best one was the mojito all the rest were syrups and sat really heavy on your stomach. Plus I’m sure I could have drank them all day and still not of felt the alcohol (take your own bottle of spirit if you are wanting a good drink). Pool was nice but could have done with some good music or a DJ on for a couple of hours a day. Also I noticed a sign in the lift that said sunbeds are not allowed to be reserved but it seems this was ignored by everyone. We had to ask for sunbeds everytime we went to the pool and were told that people were coming down as early as 5-6am to ‘reserve’ theirs. However, i noticed a lot of reserved sunbeds weren’t actually used and had dry towels left on them all day. I was on a break with no children for a change and refused to get up at 6am to put a towel on a bed. Oh yes if you’re new you’ll 100% be approached on your first day for a massage in their spa. We ended up booking but it’s kind of pricey considering it’s Turkey and I pay less In England. The women in the spa were lovely but it was probably below average massage. Mostly likely because they are doing so many in a day and being paid a fraction of what you’re charged. You will also be approached again the minute you’ve finished your massage to book another one for nearly half the price you’ve just paid. Hotel location is good and I found the beach area to be lovely to be honest the shuttle is really handy. However, once you leave the hotel be prepared to be hounded by anyone selling anything as soon as you leave and take a walk. You can tell some of the shop owners/sellers literally make the prices of things up in their heads when you ask depending on your nationality. The steak house prices down the road are scandalous as well. The cheapest steak was like €43 and a taxi driver tried to rip us off by wanting to charge us €50 to go 5 minutes down the road and back. We told him it was too expensive and crossed over the road to another taxi firm where they told he €10 each way. Oh and how could I forget the shop right next the hotel? Wow they are charging triple for everything. When we first arrived at night we nipped to the shop to get some snacks as we had just missed tea. We got some crisps, biscuits, noodles, tooth paste and couple of packets of sweets and it came to €33 please go to the supermarket Migo’s down the road it’s much cheaper. It was my 3rd visit to Antalya and I’ve defiantly noticed the hike in prices it’s cheaper back home now. So unfortunately It will be my last visit to Turkey now as it’s getting far too expensive. I also booked all our own excursions on ‘Get your guide’ i found it to be cheaper than what the hotel or other excursion sellers charged. I would stay at this hotel again but unfortunately due to the price hikes in general in Turkey I won’t be going back.

This is our second time back here. Family of 7 4 adults a 15, 5 and a 4 yr old. Food was good loads of options. Mexican restaurant was really good. Beach pool fantastic always something going on for the kids. Kids club great and the kids craft station by the entertainment was a great addition. Entertainment down the beach was better this year but still lots of dance acts which gets repetitive Micheal Jackson show was great. More acts like this us needed Kids fest night was fantastic kids had a blast Hotel entertainment could be improved Would be nice if they had like a lounge singer in the reception areas just singing in the back ground Big shout out to the older driver of the shuttle bus. Grandchildren loved him. Had pictures done with him last year and this time. So helpful and friendly and made a fuss of the kids.

Hotel rooms really clean. Holiday spoiled by excursion trip booked through hotel rep. To so called safari boat trip.The Poor animals lived in filthy appalling conditions. All the people wanted was money to hold one of the lion cubs which looked sedated. My 14 year old grandson asked where the money was going because he could not see anything being done to improve the animals lives . Never ever again.

The hotel in my opinion is excellent value: location in Lara beach is very good,staff are all very helpful and friendly.This was a family holiday with my wife daughter son in law and grandchildren .The hotel is spotless clean tidy and comfortable.Entertainment staff were excellent,and all round entertainment was brilliant The food always hot and varied lots of snacks all tasty and delicious .Pool areas always packed advice go down to beach pool this is where most of the events day and evening were.busy but was to be expected with the children’s holidays.shops outside the hotel were very good if you don’t mind bartering Rooms very good cleaned every day air conditioning cool and quiet.This is only my party’s personal opinion but if you want good value for money book P
