We initially booked the Titanic Deluxe Lara, but due to renovations, we were offered Barut Lara by Jet2 Holidays. After reluctantly agreeing, due to us having a very large group, we started researching this hotel, and were pleasantly surprised with the ratings, facilities and the fact that the hotel had been recently renovated. This hotel seems to be in higher class, with the clientele they have, and having stayed around this area before a few times, I must say, I really love the rooms, the facilities, the spoken English by the staff, and the service. The food is similar to the other hotels around the area, and I did enjoy the food. I loved the fact they had ice cream available throughout the day even in February. The outdoor heated swimming pool was good, as was the activities such as archery, air rifle and darts. There was lots to do, and I think this hotel was great for my children, but also for the elders in our group also. The grounds were immaculate, and everything was so clean and well presented. The animation team were really good, as were the shows and the kids club. We had a late flight, and they allowed us to keep some rooms for free until late which was a nice touch. Some people in our group did have issues with their room, but they were offered an upgraded room in the hotel. We stayed in the garden area which was very nice, offering beautiful views of the mountains, but it was quite cold due to lots of windows without glass (if that makes sense). Overall, I would definitely recommend and would love to go again.

I’m so happy to stayed one week at this hotel for New Year’s celebration. It was our first ultra all inclusive and the concept is very well thought through. There are lots of activities, amazing foods and drinks options. The resort is so big that you never feel that it is crowded. I would love to come back again during summer when all activities and restaurants are open!

Just got back from a wonderful Christmas break here. It's the perfect place to relax and we had the most incredible weather. We loved the buffet - endless excellent food and lots of healthy choices too, I think I might be made of hummus now. My husband loved the grill, best lamb ribs he's ever had. Our room had a stunning view of the mountains and we got to see gorgeous sunsets every evening. We even swam in the sea a few times. We tried to do Anastasia's 3.30pm aqua zumba in the pool every day simply because her energy and personality were so infectious! Everything here is set up for you to relax and not worry about your life back home. My only gripe is the beds seemed to hurt our backs a bit. Maybe they're different in the lagoon area? Everyone works so hard here to make your stay perfect.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and everything about it was great. All the staff are polite, helpful and go out of their way to accommodate you. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well looked after, there are constant events on to entertain if you're stuck for something to do. The food and drinks are all great too, very tasty and well cooked with a good variety on each night. A nice range of pools to chose from, heated seawater, still water and a non heated pool, as well as a lovely beach with plenty of sunbeds and a bar to order and sit at. Oh and they provided us a temporary room to stay in until our airport transfer arrived, which was really nice. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, best hotel I've ever stayed at.

It is fully booked but you don’t feel the crowds. Food is delicious. Indoor pool not heated! Too cold to swim in. Kids area open air no AC. Huge slides that are amazing! Rooms are not cooled well you need to call the maintenance to tweak the AC for it to work properly. Towels everywhere. Beautiful Turkish hammam and spa area free to use. Beautiful to walk around

Stayed here for a week. It is by far the best resort I have ever stayed at in my life. From the time you check in til you check out, the service in absolutely amazing. All the staff from reception to restaurant/bar staff to the cleaners, all are real friendly and approachable. The food in their multiple restaurants is all of a very high standard. Literally not a single bad word I can say about my week here. I will definitely be going there again. The hotel has recently been refurbished so the new pictures are on their website and may look different to what other have posted. The facelift is amazing and all the decor in the whole hotel is extremely modern and all their services far exceeded our expectations. Perfect for couples or families.

What an amazing experience I had with my young family at this hotel. The rooms are amazing. The service from all of the hotel staff is second to none. The location as well as all of the facilities are out of this world. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who asks. Will definitely be going back here again in the summer. Thank you for the great experience Barut Lara staff.

What a fantastic hotel. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Their service was impeccable and rooms were very modern, stylish and comfortable. Food was amazing. We stayed for 5 nights in a junior suite. Only drawback was that the indoor pools had sea water and season was not great enough for outdoor pools to be used. So could not enjoy swimming. It had loads of activities even for off season period. They have very good baby facilities and baby eating area in the main restaurant with neatly laid down high chairs, microwave etc. Even packed baby purees were available. I would love to go here again and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get most out of their holiday.

I took my parents to Barut Lara Hotel in September and we all had great time. I have been to many 5 Star Hotels and this one is one of the top. The team was very friendly, the choice of food selection was above standard and we loved the huge garden area. Beach was beautiful. The only downside; some of the rooms need update. Other than that it was perfect.

We had a wonderful holiday at Lara Barut hotel. Everyone here are very friendly and helpful. Our room is very modern and clean and so are the pools. There are plenty of things going on during the day thanks to the amazing animation team. We loved all the activities - yoga, water gym, archery etc. A special thank you to Pekcan for being a wonderful archery teacher. He is super supportive, friendly and give very good advice. I enjoyed this activity every day! Will definitely come back for another holiday soon!

We are still here - 4 days into a 10 day stay. Beautiful hotel, amazing/attentive staff. Total luxury. The food and restaurants are top notch - so much choice. Drinks are strong and plentiful. The rooms are just gorgeous. Looking to come back next year, maybe to one of the Bayou Villas (more privacy/own pool) there's nothing wrong with where we are - just looking to try something different next time - don't want this to end!

An excellent stay in which my family felt super comfortable with the facilities and staff. The rooms were amazing with the service top notch. The management made a mistake with our room bed preference but made it quickly. The water park and evening highlights were enjoyable and the food.. The FOOD is amazing with the breakfast lunch and dinner included. I believe the resort need a minimum stay of 4 days to get use of everything. Would definitely come back. Just a mention to the guest relation and WhatsApp support that are super attentive and supportive with all our resort. We couldn't choose a better place to celebrate our anniversary.

A truly excellent resort. The service was phenomenal from the point of arrival. Staff were plentiful, friendly and courteous. The facilities were in very good shape. The cleanliness of the resort was outstanding. Our kids enjoyed many of the activities on site. We loved the water slides which were also clearly very well maintained and supervised. Of particular note is the food. The buffet was quite possibly the best I have ever experienced. Many of the Turkish specialities were absolutely outstanding. The app provided by the resort made bookings at the various restaurants very straightforward. Particularly if you have a younger family I can only recommend this resort.

We have first stayed at Barut Lara back in 2007. It has since always become better and better, and exceeded our expectations many times. Whenever you felt something was missing (beach bar in the beginning), or something could not be done better, you proved us wrong and came up with something new. The rooms are top notch, the service is always super friendly, the hospitality is great. The evening shows as well as the extra programs such as clubbing at the beach or Bohème party at the garden are simply overwhelming and outstanding! Please keep up the fantastic work and journey we have been part of the past 15 years!

My mother and I have just returned from an amazing vacation in Lara Barut Hotel where we stayed for five nights. I have been to many hotels around the world, but this one stands out as one of the best I have experienced. The room we stayed in was not only spacious but also luxurious. Every day, they restocked our fridge with refreshing drinks and tasty snacks. The buffet in the main restaurant offered a wide variety of delicious food, and each night featured a different theme, such as sushi night, fish night, and meat night. While the hotel had other dining options, we personally preferred the buffet. The hotel grounds were very big, and despite being full of guests, it never felt overcrowded. Sunbeds were always available, and the staff made sure that guests enjoyed their time to the fullest. We were treated to elaborate shows in the evenings, and there was even a DJ playing music late into the night at the beach area. I would like to give a special mention to Veysel, a waiter in the dining room. We often sat in his section, and he consistently provided exceptional service with a friendly and welcoming attitude. It was a pleasure being in his area. What truly impressed me about this hotel was the attention to detail. They thought of everything to ensure guests had a memorable experience. From the delicious food and fantastic drinks to the variety of pampering pools, each with a nearby bar, an excellent water park, and a private beach, nothing was lacking. Furthermore, the hotel maintained communication with guests via WhatsApp, checking in daily to ensure everything was going well and offering assistance if needed. Without a doubt, we will return to this hotel in the future. The level of indulgence we experienced was unparalleled.

Third time in this hotel and it’s still the best. Everything from food, rooms, beach, garden area and entertainment is just fabulous. The staff is super friendly, professional and they do everything to make your stay the best. Special shout out to Yasin and his Beach bar team and Pekcan from the animation - always smiling, friendly and funny. It was a pleasure, can’t wait to come back soon.

The estimated trip time between Bayou Villas by Lara Barut Collection and Antalya airport is 20 minutes. You can have a VIP, safe and comfortable journey with our company🚗☺️

What a fantastic hotel. We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Their service was impeccable and rooms were very modern, stylish and comfortable. Food was amazing.

Exceptional service, facilities and food. We stayed for ten nights in August as a family of four. It was our first all inclusive so we didn’t have anything to compare it to but were all blown away by the standard and range of meals on offer. All of the a la carte options we tried were great, special shout out to Sait for excellent service on two occasions. The buffet is also of a high standard, with rotating dishes each night. The water park is fab, and combined with the pool activities there’s enough to keep everyone entertained all day. The beach bar had live music most afternoons and it’s the perfect spot to take in the last of the sun. Rooms are clean, modern and have everything you need, including hairdryer & straighteners. There’s a small gym that has everything you need for a workout, plus there’s a track around the hotel to run on. A memorable and indulgent trip, highly recommended

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the hotel and we can confidently say that it was one of the best holidays we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a level of service that exceeded our expectations. The food and restaurants at the hotel were simply outstanding. The variety and quality of the cuisine were exceptional, and we enjoyed every meal we had during our stay. The cleanliness of the entire resort was also impressive, and it was clear that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a spotless environment for their guests. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the exceptional service we received from Dilan, Sultan, and Kadir at the restaurant. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our dining experience truly unforgettable. Maria and Tuli from the Kids Club were also outstanding, providing a fun and safe environment for our children to play and learn. The guys from the photography team were also amazing, capturing the special moments of our holiday with skill and creativity. Overall, our stay was simply amazing. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious, relaxing, and enjoyable holiday experience. The hotel's commitment to outstanding service and attention to detail truly sets it apart from other hotels in the area. We can't wait to come back!

We stayed at this hotel in the first week of July. This hotel exceeded all of our expectations! The property is immaculate and is kept spotlessly clean! The quality of service from the hotel staff was exceptional. The app worked very well and the ability to use WhatsApp to communicate with Guest Relations was very convenient. The pools and beach were all outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Been here 2 years in a row now as a couple and we absolutely love it! The staff are extremely friendly and the animation team are always checking on guests and making sure we are having a great holiday including Amigo! The rooms are spotless and the choice for food is second to none - would always recommend!

We had a satisfactory experience at this hotel. The a la carte restaurants serve reasonably good food. In particular, the Turunc restaurant stood out for its superior quality. However, the open buffet was somewhat of a letdown. One key point to note is the necessity to reserve a slot for dinner. During our stay of four nights, due to full reservations upon our arrival, we were only able to make one reservation. This was somewhat disappointing. Despite that, the service and friendliness of the staff were exceptional. The cleanliness of the swimming pools and rooms was top-notch, leaving nothing to be desired in terms of hygiene and maintenance. The hotel also provided a range of enjoyable activities, although it should be noted that these were consistent each day without much variation. Overall, this hotel offers a fine blend of hospitality, cleanliness, and activities, with some room for improvement in the area of dining reservations.

My overall experience was fantastic from the time I made the booking on their website. The staff has been very professional and attentive. The resort is well maintained including rooms, spa, gym, beach, restaurants,and pools. The food is amazing. They offer a great selection of Turkish and international cuisine made with high quality ingredients. There are plenty of daily activities throughout the day. I really enjoyed the fly and aerial yoga along with the water gym which were taught by lovely staff who are both knowledgeable and fun. Every night, they have various shows by the garden, amphitheater, and the beach. I would have loved to have some international music catering to guests who come from all over the world. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again.

Lara Barut has impeccable service. From the moment we entered the gates of the property, we realized how meticulously the resort works to ensure safety, luxury, and service. We walked in to check in and had welcome drinks during the process. We were also lucky to have an upgrade to our room which was a pleasant surprise and far exceeded our expectations. Each and every member of their staff was respectful, friendly, and service oriented. Within minutes they provided us with anything and everything we needed. The property is beautiful, our garden view pool access was private and just perfect for our little family. The food and drinks were amazing and never mediocre. We couldn’t be happier with our stay and will definitely be returning again and again! Thank you to all the staff who made our stay perfect.

Had a fantastic experience staying at the Lara Barut Collection. It was everything we could have hoped for as our first experience of an all-inclusive holiday! I'd like to highlight the animation team, who facilitate all the activities and entertainment. which made this such a memorable stay. Pekcan who was an amazing archery teacher - friendly, encouraging and entertaining! Martin who was a fantastic host for all the events and Laura who brought so much fun to the activities.

Edit: I have visited the hotel again in August 2023 and would LOVE to go again!! Lara Barut is an excellent resort if you want to stay one week in Turkey and relax! Its also a great place if you want to stay with your family and small children. My family and I went in October 2022 to the Lara Barut Collection Resort in Antalya, and all the experiences we had during our stay were fantastic. The hotel is only 15 minutes drive away from the Antalya airport. The hotel offers a wide range of luxurious rooms. The rooms are of a high standard, cleaned well each day and are also spacious. We had a room at the ground floor from which you can directly go to the pool. The rooms are equipped with free minibar items and a TV that has Netflix and Amazon Prime. Complimentary wireless Internet access keeps you connected. Bathroom also features showers with rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. The Resort itself is huge, with many things to do. You can choose between the pool, games area, daily schedule of fitness & pool games, playing tennis at the court, kids club and a babysitter, mini disco for children, beach, spa, aqua park, and an incredible variety of activities like archery and yoga. The water park is a huge area with a small water slide for younger children. You can do as many activities as you want during the day, and the thoughts of leaving the resort vanish once you arrive. The food was great, especially the buffet at the Zestful Bazaar. You can choose from different a la carte restaurants, and Italian, Turkish, Mediterranean and Japanese restaurants have excellent service and delicious food. You can book a reservation at the reception or ask your WhatsApp concierge. The coffee shop has a selection of delicious pastries and good coffee. The atmosphere was also brought by friendly, helpful and engaged staff. The team seems genuinely happy and is a pleasure to engage with. I was impressed by the warm welcome I received from the staff! They were courteous, and went above and beyond. The only thing that I might suggest gets improved is the pool water temperature. This might be quite subjective, but I have heard also other guests complaining. Since we went there during the autumn season I would have expected that the water was a bit warmer. In summary, we had a fantastic holiday in this fabulous Resort because of the immaculate vibes, and we will always recommend it to anyone! Looking forward to getting there again.

Everything that anyone could want from a resort hotel (especially if you have children) Just returned from 6 amazing days at Lara. The options for food (multiple restaurants), the many bars, the coffee shop, the multi ice cream locations, the water park with slides and the 6 pools! All fantastic and all included in the Ultra All-inclusive package! We have been to IKOS twice before but this tops it. Especially with the entertainment (animation) options throughout the day and especially the evening shows (we watched during our stay a Queen tribute, Mongolian acrobats, Fun fair and amazing dance show) The level of service provided by the staff is exceptional! Enjoying sundowner cocktails at the beach bar is a must, especially with the distant mountains creating a stunning backdrop. Cannot wait to return!

Beautiful pools, picturesque beaches, tastiest cuisines, and above all exceptionally curated activities. My favorite was the Sea Gym with Sabrina, which was exhilarating from start to finish. Sabrina's energy and enthusiasm are unparalleled and enjoyed every second of her aerobics in the beautiful Turkish waters. Sabrina was bar none 10/10!

I can't understand how come there are such reviews about the hotel. We initially planned a stay of 6-7 nights. After seeing the interior and going to the room, our mood was already down. The rooms are absolutely ugly, soulless, they are spacious but that's it. The minibar is a disaster, the decoration (if one can call it so) is ugly, no plants, nothing that is nice, as if they just brought random items and put them in the room. Absolutely not 5 star level. Not even 3 star level. Then we went to the open buffet. The place looked like a hostel canteen. The area was dark, there was nothing nice about it. The tables, the order, the quality were all bad The outside area is big and spacious but that's it. The hotel has nothing that requires a bit of work or maintenance. The dinner was worse, the shrimps were not good. So we we stayed one night and left. It was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in our lives. Absolutely not worth the money, it is a rip off for what it offers.

I would like to give kudos to all staff who made our accommodation unique. This is our second stay and we enjoyed this time even more!

I went to many all-inclusive resorts all over the world…Lara Barut was one of the best or the top one in terms of service, food, hospitality and cleanliness. Everything was very clean and they are always on top of everything in cleaning, organizing and making sure everything is sharp and neat. The food was top notch and incomparable to any other hotel or resort we have ever been to. My husband and I as a couple stayed from 22 to 29 August 2021. We got the honeymoon concept and from the minute we arrived at the resort, we received a uniquely excellent and warm customer service. Everyone was very helpful, friendly and always smiling and welcoming... Among the staff, there were special employees who were amazing with us: Sabrina from the animation team: I LOVED the aqua aerobics in the sea with her it was a great exercise and she is very friendly and encouraging and always treated us as friends. Yasine the chef of servers in the bars was extremely friendly, memorized our orders, and always greeted us like friends. Tugba from guest relations went above and beyond to help us and is a very sweet and kind lady. My husband needed a dentist urgently and she helped us all the way in finding one, reserving an appointment then she kept checking on him and his tooth. We cannot imagine spending a vacation in a resort other than Barut anymore after the incredible experience we had. If we even went to another location, we will make sure to reserve at Barut collection, because if the standard is the same as the one in Lara Barut, it would be a waste of money to reserve in any other hotel.

These people really go above and beyond..Very nice service, very clean and many things to do for both kids and adults...

Beautiful resort with excellent service and delicious food. Staff is very kind and professional, made our stay in the hotel much more enjoyable! Cleanliness is on a high level.

A total waste of money (if you stay anywhere else!). Only fault is the quality of some of the cheaper rooms (but who cares as you will spend no time in room). Otherwise this hotel is ‘off da hook’. Food and drink quality outstanding. Staff (including sheer number) at all levels are exceptional. Fitness (classes) and childcare (kids club) first rate. Don’t debate (I know it seem expensive - actually it is great value especially if you are a foodie/alcoholic/with kids/fitness freak) just book and go.

great hotel, great staff very well organised, clean and fine food.

Could not fault it. Exceeded our expectations. Everything was on point. about 8 restaurants to eat from, great food, even in the buffet. Service was impeccable. Great for kids too, the park is open til late and there's always some activity going on. The beach is better than the surrounding hotels, cleaner and just chilled.

Great hotel. Well deserved highest rating in the area. Only one con - price is too high.

We booked here for 3 nights hoping for a nice relaxing stay after travelling in Turkey for 2 weeks. We got to the hotel 1 hr before check in, where the receptionist offered us a great upgrade deal to the next room up. The great deal cost more than what we paid for our entire stay (older suite), so we ofcourse declined at which point we were told our room isn't available until check in time (I look at room availability before and after my stay for this reason and my booked room was available). We were then told we can't make reservation at the a la carte restaurant for the day we check in as they have a weird app system to make the reservation, that ends before check in. We were also unable to make reservations for any of the other nights using this app. We managed to get a reservation for every night, but, only after asking the guest relations desk. We were constantly pressured to buy bottles of wine or pay for something extra and this takes away the whole relaxation aspect from an all inclusive "concept". Their buzz word here is concept and you will hear it a lot. The doctor here is horrible too, she is rude and not professional at all. Other guests had same issues with her as well so it wasn't just us. All in all, the room was nice, even though the receptionist kept saying it wasn't, which in itself is bizarre given its a suite in the same hotel. Charging double for a room that is more modern is insane. The food was good, but, the drinks were not. 2 star experience.

We had a great stay here in October 2021. While not as glitzy as some of the other Lara resorts we have stayed in, Barut is certainly classier. We enjoyed the stay immensely. The service and food was all excellent. This will be our first choice resort in Lara now. The kids really enjoyed the cat house as well.

Best Hotel I have stayed so far, we did stay here a few years ago and it was very good so we wanted to try again..! It’s improved and got better and better. The food and the staff are extremely nice 👌 I can’t recommend enough you have to try and enjoy every minute of it. Thank you.

It is an excellent Hotel! Nothing to say, nothing to comment! We were amazed how clean, well organized and hospitable this hotel is. It is an absolute recommendation. From open bar varieties to all sort of facilities, to extremely friendly and helpful staff, everything is impeccable. Service is top! Special gratitude to Baby Club Team: Susu, Dilek, Maria you are amazing. Our daughter is in love with you and you made a huge fan, thank you for your great energy and approach.

Fantastic location. Fine dining a la carte restaurant is Superb. Food & drink is available all day and night. Excellent water slides. The hotel has everything you need to relax and facilities can be used to tailor it to what type of holiday you want. Strongly recommended.

We recently went to Turkey and would highly recommend Barut Lara. It was an excellent choice of hotel and our whole family loved it. Room sizes were great with an excellent kids club. Also, a good choice of food to cater for all our tastes which is a must on holiday! Last year we went to Canada over the winter for a skiing holiday - this was a great contrast.

Great service, although it's fully booked it never feels crowded. Staff are all very nice and friendly. Restaurant quality varies. Only negative is that you're not allowed to make reservations prior to your stay at the hotel but once you check in everything is fully booked. Thankfully their staff and Whatsapp concierge were able to add us to wait lists and ultimately get reservations. Spa experience was wonderful.

Fabulous hotel. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Entertainment was amazing. Great kids club. Only downside was that it was on a major road, bit you don't really venture out. Everything is there in the hotel. Great spa too

What an amazing experience - my family and I stayed in hotel 2 times and each time it was unforgettable. Real 5- star experience. My brother even said it has changed his understanding about vacationing in Turkey. It was incredible. Staff is well trained. Attentive , and no matter who when and where - they all speak your language and say hello. You feel so welcome and special. While hotel grounds are large and hotel is fully packed you feel like in boutique hotel. Animation team made us so welcome! What an incredible effort was placed to train team and teach them how to engage guests in activities. Every team member is genuinely care for what they do and treat you welcome. special thank you to Selih and Berhan - you guys are awesome and genuinely thank you from all of us for your training and efforts you put in making this stay incredible

Only 2 bad things to say: We reserved a room with one king size bed and got 2 twin, when we told the reception they said that there was a mistake and they are sorry but the hotel is fully booked so they can't give us another room. We had to chase them until they gave us another room in the next day. The service in the bars was also not so good IMO, not very friendly. The overall experience was great, really awesome features - mini golf, great beach, spa, great food - endless choice and free great restaurants. Highly recommended

Probably the best vacation hotel for families we have every visited. So many positive sides - even basic rooms are large, the hotel grounds are massive offering everything from salt-water and fresh-water pools, water slides, deep & shallow pools, children areas, beach. The animation program it outstanding - both for children during the day and adults in the evening alike. The food is of very high quality and the bar offering (especially alcohol brand selection) was really good. The ONLY thing that I wish the hotel improved was staff's knowledge of English - as the hotel clearly caters mostly to Russian speaking guests, sometimes getting what you want is simply game of point and guess.

Stayed at this hotel back in june, absolutely amazing!!! From the entrance, customer service, the food; you literally do not need to leave this place. They have entertainment for everyone, exhaustive amount of daily activities. The room came with a straightener amongst other amenities. There is a water park and kids club so its great for families. I will definitely be going back there

What an amazing experience. Wonderful hotel resort. Absolutely spotless and the grounds and facilities are maintained daily and by the hour. Food is amazing. Staff are very helpful and the What’s App 24 hour personal assistant is phenomenal. Did I mention the place is huge!!! Pools (some heated) and the beach are so clean and policed. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
