This
review
is
our
personal
and
honest
reflection
of
our
stay
from
19.06.2021-26.06.2021.
Pro
tip
when
you
come
in
Turkey:
always
have
Google
translate
or
a
dictionary
at
you
24/7!!!
Nobody
speaks
English!!
You
will
barely
understand
each
other.
This
can
be
normal
on
the
streets,
but
I
find
it
very
unpleasant
at
the
hotel
where
we
couldn`t
communicate
with
nobody
and
we
had
to
show
photos
or
use
google
translate
(sometimes
we
forgot
our
phones
in
the
room).
The
staff
is
decent,
they
lack
any
English
skills,
but
sometimes
they
seemed
like
they
are
on
holiday,
not
us.
There
is
one
employee
at
the
reception
that
looks
like
he
smokes
weed
24/7...he
was
always
useless,
we
could
not
understand
each
other
and
when
we
were
talking
to
him
he
always
looked
like
he
was
ready
to
burst
into
a
big
laughter
which
seemed
very
rude.
Thank
God
for
the
lady
that
spoke
very
good
German
at
the
reception,
we
managed
to
get
some
answers
for
our
questions.
The
concept
of
"all-inclusive"
at
Lara
World
Hotel
is
different
than
what
we
had
experienced
in
the
past
(Spain,
Bulgaria,
etc.).
We
had
our
reservation
booked
for
"ultra
all-inclusive"
in
which
we
had
also
a
snack
bar.
The
moment
we
came
in,
they
told
us
that
there
is
no
snack
bar...ok,
no
problem,
let`s
pass
this...but
we
soon
came
to
realize
very
quickly
that
even
the
buffet
was
also
nonexistent
(see
photos).
Yes,
we
had
3
meals
a
day,
but
they
gave
us
what
they
want
and
it
was
mostly
the
same
food
recycled.
We
could
not
choose
from
anything,
hence
the
buffet
concept.
When
I
asked
for
kebab,
baklava
and
french
fries
they
had
the
audacity
to
tell
me
that
those
are
extra
and
I
had
to
pay
for
them.
Say
what?
This
defies
the
concept
of
all-inclusive,
doesn`t
it?
We
asked
the
staff
why
is
it
like
this
if
we
already
paid
for
all-inclusive,
they
told
us
that
they
cannot
do
anything
and
it
is
what
it
is,
whether
you
like
it
or
not.
Don`t
get
me
wrong,
the
food
was
very
tasty,
very
good,
but
poorly
diversified
and
the
portions
are
very
small.
We
came
here
to
taste
the
Turkish
cuisine,
not
to
eat
the
same
food
that
we
have
back
at
home.
It
seemed
to
me
like
the
management
was
very
poor
when
it
came
to
food.
The
wasted
food
was
a
lot
more
from
how
they
served
us
rather
than
the
buffet,
because
sometimes
half
of
the
food
we
didn`t
like
and
they
had
to
throw
it
away;
at
least
at
buffet
we
would
have
taken
what
we
liked
and
the
needed
quantity...this
is
just
my
opinion.
I
don`t
know,
maybe
we
were
unlucky
due
to
COVID
and
things
were
like
this.
The
room
we
stood
in
was
decent,
cleaned
daily,
the
AC
was
working,
everything
was
in
order.
The
hotel
has
it`s
own
beach
where
you
get
lounges
and
umbrella
which
was
nice.
Also
the
food
there
was
very
good.
Overall
we
are
sorry,
but
we
did
not
feel
that
famous
Turkish
hospitality
that
everyone
was
talking
about
(at
least,
not
at
the
Hotel).
It
sometimes
felt
like
a
bad
joke
especially
when
it
came
to
food...a
bad
joke
for
which
we
paid
money
and
we
had
to
pay
more
money
at
other
restaurants
to
taste
the
Turkish
cuisine
(Kebab,
baklava,
Turkish
coffee,
ayran
etc.)
because
the
hotel
did
not
feel
like
sharing
this
experience
with
us.
The
area
is
wonderful,
the
city
is
beautiful,
we
are
definitely
coming
back
to
this
area,
but
under
these
circumstances
and
the
experience,
unfortunately
we
will
be
choosing
another
hotel
from
the
neighborhood.
