Family vacation. As a family, we had a great vacation in this hotel. First of all, the staff are very kind and helpful (I was really surprised by the people saying that the staff are rude, it is not the case at all). The rooms are spacious enough and clean with all the toiletries you need from soap till the toothbrush and the shaving kit. There is a kettle with clean mugs and different kinds of tea and coffee. The food is good and tasty. The hotel area is clean. Plenty of bars and drinks. They also serve shisha at night but for extra fees. The spa is excellent but you have to pay for it. It is not included in the package. The hotel location is great. Plenty of bazaar shops, bars and restaurants just five minutes walk from the hotel. The only negative thing is that the WC can be cleaner especially the one next to the pool. In the end I can say that we had a great vacation there. Thank you Wind of Lara Hotel and Spa. . .

A relaxed & pleasant week.. Me and my girlfriend stayed for a week at the wind of Lara, on arrival was greeted by a lovely girl on reception to check in. We requested a pool view room and this was met, our view was beautiful. Room was clean had some nice gestures to it. Room was only left unclean for 1 day needed new towels ect but if you turn on the cleaner light they will do the room for you. Hotel is beautiful and well kept. The staff were okay in most places but a rude bar man at snack bar ignoring us and serving others knowing we were waiting. Being a same sex couple we felt relaxed by no judgement here too. Drinks were nice but food wasn’t great all the same repetitive and not a lot of variety we eat out every evening Turkish nice was the best. It’s in a nice location everything outside, shops restaurants. Shuttle to the beach every 30 minutes beach is beautiful too. Entertainment okay from what we did see. Overall we did enjoy our week & had a lovely time.. .

Very poor for UK/EU levels. Would not recommend. Although he hotel facilities are good, if you come from UK/EU, this can be quite an horror show because of the behaviour of both the staff and the guests. Feels like a massive drop from the 1st world into the 3rd world (which didn't happen when we went to resorts in South east Asia or Latin America for instance). STAFF: no English. In general, everyone has a sad face and never smile. Very rough and vulgar behaviour sometimes, including managers. I saw a restaurant supervisor (tall man with white shirt and black trousers) harassing one of the waitresses right in front of us (dinning at our table), so unprofessional and inappropriate. One barman in the ground floor bar named Okham (with red locks) made sexual innuendos to my wife right in front of me as well (she asked for a drink and this "professional" looked at her from head to tow and said "for you, yes"). Is this a strip bar or a 5 star hotel? Unacceptable. The vans that take you to the beach play extremely loud music, very disrespectful to guests as well (I couldn't even talk to my wife seating right next to me). In the end we preferred to walk every day (10 mins from hotel to beach) GUESTS: Very vulgar and uncivilized behaviour by the the guests. Sadly, even a 5 star in Türkiye was full of people yelling aloud constantly, listening to very loud music on their Bluetooth speakers everywhere (hotel common areas, beach, swimming pool, restaurants, bar etc). It really feels very 3rd world. A trillion of children and families, very loud and messy, not good for couples. FOOD: The resort has 4 restaurants BUT ONLY ONE IS FREE FOR ALL INCLUSIVE. In this restaurant, every day the food was more or less the same. the quality was bad with the exception of 10% of the options. If one finds those and u stick to that, it's ok . But if you are thinking "I am going to eat delicious Mediterranean food like in southern Italy or Greece" you will be sorely disappointed. I was expecting more seafood but there is little. THE ONLY FOOD THAT WAS TOP LEVEL WAS THE FRESH PASTA THAT CHEF EYGGUP COOKED NEXT TO THE SWIMMING POOL FOR DINNER. That man deserves a raise! BEACH: 10 minutes easy walk from Hotel. Not really beautiful. dark brown sand. Pebbles where the sea meets the land. However, if you are lucky enough to find sunbeds away from loud people, then u can have a good relax. People from outside the resort (not guests) try to come into the private beach (there are no fences etc) and use the restaurant and sunbeds for free. IT IS THE DUTY OF THE HOTEL STAFF AND BEACH LIFE-GUARD TO EXPELL AND DENY ACCESS FOR THOSE PEOPLE AS IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE GUESTS WHO ARE PAYING TO USE THE FACILITIES. I have seen as well that the hotel shows a pier with bar and sunbeds in their advertising (see images) THIS IS MISLEADING, AS THE PIER BELONGS TO ANOTHER HOTEL, NOT WIND OF LARA AND YOU WON'T BE GIVEN ACCESS. I was walking there and was told "sorry this is only for guest of the hotel next door" and had to leave. Very embarrassing and disappointing. SWIMING POOL: over crowded with people, forget about finding an empty sunbed unless u wake up very early or arrive after 4pm. constant music, extremely loud, impossible to relax. This area (and hotel) is over crowded with children as well. I got an ear infection from swimming with my head under water (I had to go to a pharmacy to get medicine) probably due to kids peeing in the water. There should be an ONLY ADULT section, but no, there are kids all over AREA: Nothing to see. cheap bazaar and food places around, all very unsavoury. We didn't even want to take taxis as there are lots of reviews online saying they rip you off, they are illegal or controlled by cartels (UBER included). All in all it feels very 3rd world as I said before. .

. Wind of Lara we are leaving tomorrow on arrival. Our room was really dirty. Went down to reception was very difficult to explain receptionist do not speak very good English at all. They did come and clean the room straight away. Food very repetitive always the same no change same at dinner same tea every day I’ve also had it in an issue When I left Newcastle Airport I actually bought a Dior lipgloss from duty-free, which I always treat myself before we come away on holiday, had the lipgloss in my room never took it out as I was always conscious I used it one night and then the following night went to use it and it dissipated. I search the hotel room from top to bottom absolutely gone which I knew I haven’t taken it out went downstairs to complain to the concierge lady she said she would investigate this upon the investigation and come back and said that there was no proof that had been taken out of my room as there was no CTV in the room. I totally know it was there. I have never taken it out so I went in a hotel room with a lipgloss and coming out without it ,, they have never once offered to replace the lip gloss out of the gesture goodwill they sent use to restaurant which you had to pay €30 it was basically the all-inclusive food that we had eaten all week presented differently on a plate we waited over an hour so I just got up from walked out this whole experience has ruined my holiday to prepare to feel like somebody has been in the room and taking someone whether it’s been mislaid lost or taken still not right and like I got nowhere downstairs reception concierge went really interested and said they had no evidence just be very aware of lock your personal items away in your room at all times. .

Great hotel. Beautiful hotel absolutely spotless, the rooms are Modern and clean the beds are very comfortable, mini bar and toiletries stocked up every day when the rooms are cleaned. very relaxing pool area with activities for everyone but quiet time also, food was lovely good selection. Close to all the shops and restaurants if you want to venture out, lovely for couples but great for families too, probably the best hotel l've stayed in in Turkey on my 8th visit, very welcoming and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Definitely a 5 star hotel. .
