Wyndham Garden Lara

Hello, my husband and I visited you hotel in June 24 and had such an amazing time we booked again to come in may 25 but this time we are bringing all our family, we have 5 rooms booked, I want to know if the hotel provides travel cot for infants as we have my bay grandson, if you do how do I make sure we have one put in one of the rooms. I was looking for an email address on your website but could not find one, thank you

I was a little underwhelmed when we arrived, but the beach area and being able to use both hotels made this holiday amazing. We were given a family room it had a separate living area and 2 bedrooms and was immaculate. Good points Beach area Pool selection Drinks Food Bad points Dining area was a little dated Top tip is to leave some room in your case when you travel there are some amazing bargains in the shops

Slightly delayed in writing this as we stayed at the Wyndham in the first week of September for 7 days but I felt compelled to add our review as this hotel is a gem of a find! From initial check in the staff were welcoming and friendly and despite our late arrival there were still food choices on offer after our long trip. As the hotel is twinned with the Ramada which is literally on the other side of the driveway, we were directed to the Ramada restaurant where there was a variety of hot and cold food for us to choose from. Our room was amazing as was the daily housekeeping who would leave the towel animals/petal arrangements on the bed, lovey romantic touch for our anniversary getaway. The hotel itself is spotless with the cleaners working tirelessly to ensure standards are maintained, the pool is always manned by a lifeguard or two to ensure safety. The pool bar during the day provided a less formal dining arrangement for lunch if you preferred not to go into the actual restaurant and always offered a great variety of fresh food and the patisserie bar for a sweet snack after lunch was also a nice touch. One of the highlights I would have to say though is the free branded ice cream which is included on the all inclusive package. I have never found this at previous hotels and it a really nice touch to have a cornetto style ice cream/vienetta on a stick style/ice lolly ice cream rather than the scoop options that are usually on offer. Well done Wyndham! The beach is a short 5 min walk over the road and down a private path or there is a shuttle bus available every 10 mins. There is a beautiful pier/jetty with sunbeds available and if you can get there early for a bed then this is a lovely way to spend a day. There is a casual/beachwear dress restaurant available at this side too so no need to head back to the Wyndham for food & drink as it's all included. All in all we had a lovely stay and would return to Wyndham. Location, food, staff are all brilliant! Special thanks to Asiye Gok, you are amazing and we cannot thank you enough for the attention to detail on our stay which really made our anniversary very special!!

Spent 11 nights here in October and its a great hotel, would recommend. Arrival was late but they have a 24 hour bar in the lobby, which was great as waiting for friends arriving from a different flight. Check in was quick and easy and staff were on hand to take your bags to your room. Room was a twin, quite spacious with cupboard space, ironing board, a free safe, tea/coffee facilities (no milk but they will give you some for your room if you ask). The staff are lovely throughout the hotel and beach area. Never came across any with a bad attitude. I would say ignore people who say the staff are rude, English just isn't their first language and might come across as blunt when speaking but they staff cant do enough for you. Please tip the staff too, they work so hard. I made sure I had lira with me to tip them throughout my stay. There are plenty of bars between the hotel and beach area. Again don't get the reviews to say drinks were watered down as I could always taste the alcohol and if earlier in the day, I had to ask for weaker drinks haha. Plenty of choice in drinks and the servers were always so friendly and entertaining. They also offer a good selection of kids drinks and mocktails and there are fridges scattered about with water drinks plus freezers with different options of ice creams, which you can just help yourself to. There is a huge selection of food at the buffets, different foods of course but you're in a different country so should expect different foods. Most of the same food was on every day with some changes each night and themes but plenty to choose from and they also have a wee separate area for the kids buffet. There are a lot of bread options so be prepared to eat copious amounts of carbs! During the day, there is your usual burgers, chips, nuggets available as well as a pizza bar every day at the beach pool. We also visited the Mexican and Italian á la carte. Both were lovely though the Italian food portions were tiny. Would still recommend a visit though as made a nice change. So the hotel has a hotel pool area with bigger slides, a beach pool area with smaller slides and splash bit then the actual beach with plenty of sunbeds. So you can go between them all and never get bored. Please note that some days the pools were absolutely freezing in October, I couldn't stay in them but the kids were ok after a while. The beach pool was colder than the hotel one. The beach itself was also great and the pier is worth a visit, to jump off into the sea or just bathe in the sun. There is a bar on the pier too. Plenty of water sports activities available close by at an extra cost. The kids loved the jetskis. We also hired a cabana/pavilion for the day, was €70 for 5 of us. If you're going to spend a day at the beach, I would highly recommend. You have your own wee area to sunbathe or chill in the shade plus there is someone that will get you food/drink. You're not too close to the water but it’s a 5 minute walk. You can also use the sister hotel Ramada, who has the same slides but also has an indoor pool. They also served food from 11pm if you're hungry at night or late arrivals. Entertainment varies and worked out that some nights were better at the Ramada than others so I would check out both if staying at the hotel at night. The entertainment is a but different but we enjoyed it. Mr/Mrs Wyndham was funny and kids loved the karaoke. The beach entertainment is more lively and enjoyed a couple of nights there, including an end of term party which was brilliant for the kids. Check out is 12pm and our pick up time wasn't until 8pm. The hotel was full so couldn't keep our room but you could use all the facilities, including the changing rooms and showers at the gym/spa area. Shower pressure here was also so much better! We made the mistake of booking a boat trip through Jet2. Please don't do this, it is extremely over priced and the boat trip wasn't great. There are so many more options available at better prices from local sellers. I would recommend Best Trips Antalya. We used them for Land of Legends and they were amazing, great communication and the transport was brilliant, the kids loved their taxi. Land of Legends is worth a visit but give yourself plenty of time to visit the water park and the theme park. They also do a light show at the end, which was lovely. My only issues with the hotel were with the room. The beds are really hard and found it hard to sleep on. If you ask, they will put on a mattress topper. It is paper thin but actually made such a difference. The shower is a good walk in size but the pressure was really poor, this was not great. The room A/C is fixed to not go lower than 24 degrees, which even in October, this was too hot for me. Had to have the A/C on when in the room, which gave me a sore throat having it on all night. I did say to reception but the solution was to keep a card in whilst out so stayed on all day. I ended up turning it off at night, which was just about manageable to sleep in. Could never do it in the height of the summer. Saying that, I would still recommend the hotel to others, especially with kids. I would go back to Lara Beach but would probably try another hotel, only because some of the hotels there look amazing!
