Hotel and the service is great however, this is our second time here and the food still requires improvement.

Lovely break, strange being split over two places but worked out brilliant for us as the hotel area was quieter for chilling by the pool. Clean, food really good and staff all helpful and worked hard. Rooms lovely. Great break and would go back

It was ok.

Pleasant stay!

Happy

Lovely hotel

Pros: The hotel entertainment by the pool is really nice, super fun, the staff bring the energy! Rose (one of the ladies super sweet lady) and love the DJ at the main pool! Cocktails are amazing they will make strong if you ask. Buffet had lots of variety but honestly the fries were the best as they were super fresh and the panga fish outside - would suggest to try! Mandarin for A la carte was amazing - super super tasty food. The hotel itself is beautiful, busy and the spa is also amazing. Had 3 amazing massages Where I felt much lighter and less tense after. Cons: The female staff at the reception have a very unnerving (false) smile and greeting. Did not feel like female staff at reception were genuine and had good hospitality skills. First night we were booked into the same room even though we had separate rooms - but we were offered a complimentary Cabana and A la carte. But have not experienced Overbooking in a hotel before which was a bit of an inconvenience and not something you would expect from a 5* resort - nevertheless we agreed to stay in the same room for night 1 and were given two separate pool view rooms. We were happy with the Cabana and A La Carte so this was a nice gesture on the hotels part. Overall, was a lovely resort and happy to have experienced Aska Lara but would stay elsewhere if I were to visit Antalya in future.

Staf service food are old not fresh alcoholic so weck very expensive picture 10euro for 1 pick what the hell fk is this

Nice hotel with good facilities.

Amazing hotel, helpful staff, everything was actually included. My teens had a blast. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

The rooms are clean and tidy. The food is delicious and tasty. The services at all bars. Restaurants. Starbucks are excellent.

Good hotel, a lot of activities to do.

Everything

This is our second year. We were there last year as well. It is so big and has so many things that it takes 4-5 just to try each one of them. Since we were there last year, we were able to enjoy more this year for the things we like more.

Love love! Amazing hotel and staff. It was very clean and had great facilities. The starbucks in the all-inclusive was a bouns!

Enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Food was delicious. It was surprising water slides was not in the hotel, needed to use bus shuttle up to there, but very short journey as 3 mins up to them.

Family holiday

Lovely hotel, great for families and small children in terms of the pool facilities. Good slides. Nice beach area and evening entertainment . Great activity team, engaging with all and good games. Beds super comfy and lovely walk in showers. Staff go above and beyond to help Food was ok, this is personal choice though, variety but at times cold , fresh fruits and ice creams in abundance . Food was better at the water park though, burgers, chicken and rice and jacket potatoes daily Nice Starbucks on ground floor serving selective drinks , was never to busy for us Bus to water park works really well, never waited more than 5-8 mins for it to come and if want to walk takes 5 mins.

I enjoyed most of my stay except the few items listed below 1. The room was not clean on our arrival. The shower was leaking and we had to ask the staff to fix it. The cleaners did not clean to a high level, i have two young children and it was not a nice experience. The room itself seems very old and not what the pictures looked like. 2. Limited dinning options in the buffet, they had the same food everyday, the only thing i noticed that would change is the food on the terrace in the evening. Overall the experience was good. The kids enjoyed the water park alot. I would probably not visit here again and would try a different resort.

Very nice

Everything was great

Great place to visit with kids.

We had a great time staying at this hotel. We were two families and asked for rooms next to each other’s which was provided. A nice travel cot was also added for our child. The variety of food and desserts were very generous. Having Fresh grilled fish, ice cream, cocktails were bonus. I do recommend this hotel for a family holiday.

Its okay..

The staff at the hotel are great, can fault them at all. In there's of hotel and resort overall, i think its abit meh. Food is okay, nothing much to rave about, its always cold, best thing is probz the unlimited drinks. In locations wise theres isnt much there. Shops inside say one price then increase it on checkout so watch your recipt Theres an unlimited starbuck which is good, however for the day we were there most things hadnt been available. Cleaner and restockers for mini bar are very friendly and helpful. Overall okay, but would pick a better resort next time.

Along as you are happy to stay in the resort and eat eat the same food options daily you will be happy. Staff service is really good, the spa was delightful and Starbucks is a bonus at the resort. Taxi's are so expensive if you want venture out of the resort Uber does not work and it seems like the hotel work with the taxi companies and charge extra. I enjoyed my stay but I did nt enjoy the food options but I did venture out to land of legends and spend whole day there at a cost of 50 euros pick and drop off from the hotel. Was worth the money for me as it was a must see place especially in the night with all the lights.

excellent service and would come again

This is not a 5 star hotel. It’s more like a 3 star plus.

We had excellent service and food was great. The cleaning staff was especially niufer and emine

The receptionist said they know nothing about Expedia VIP benefits and ask to call Expedia.

*** AVOID HOTEL*** THIS IS NOT A 5* HOTEL***

On arrival at 5am – reception staff not very friendly, didn’t explain anything to us; For example there is a shuttle that can take you to the beach or you can walk there approx. 5 mins across the road. Room - Looked very spacious – on closer inspection the room was VERY unclean, we had to wipe the dust off the shelves!! Before we could put our clothes in the wardrobe, the floors were dirty and dusty – walking around in bare foot; your feet shouldn’t be coated in dust!!! Bedside table – 7 nights in we happen to run our hand over it and it was thick dust!! This was also the case when checking the sides of the sink/vanity area in bathroom – this is not 5*standard!! Balcony – very dirty, glass not cleaned at all – this was never cleaned the whole entire time we were there!! There was also construction working going on across the road, what we didn’t expect to hear/see about 10 strays dogs barking, especially at night / early morning. We did complain 3 times – no one seem bothered and no apology, even took the video footage to customer service – looked very uninterested and no apology. Food: Was very samey the whole time we were there, on some of the food on the hot food section, the lids were left constantly up – food was cold!!! My friend had food poisoning on the last afternoon from the lunch she ate and was very ill on the flight on the way home!! spa - would recommend Emer and Baki very good and professional A lot of activities not included all an extra charge

It was amazing, great place , clean , good service and good food, they need to come up with an idea to fix the shower, anytime you take shower the whole bathroom area gets wet. And 2nd negative point was ,to access to the beach you had to jump on shuttle but the good thing was they have their own private beach with lots of fun and water park. Good job Aska Lara 😀

This is a well worked and operated hotel. It's huge and i didn't experience a mishap from anything. Everything worked amazingly well. So much to do for every age. Wide variety of food and was delicioius. I could highly recommend this hotel for families. If you want a quiet, kids free hotel this is not for you.

The food and room were great. The staff is pleasant and friendly.

Cleaners always on thier game with the rooms, food was very good, spoilt for choice. Hotel close to mall and shopping area. Did not like how friends from other hotels could not visit but generally satisfied with the service.

Food was pretty awesome.

Asks Lara should have a 4 star rating Maximum, it is definitely NOT a five star hote!!!!! And for sure it’s NOT a luxury hotel!!!!! The pictures and the description on the website are VERY VERY FAR FROM REALITY!!! The staff is very nice and friendly but the FACILITY IS VERY OLD !!!! Rooms are VERY OLD and NEED an urgent renovation!!! The towels are old and disgusting, things fall from the shower and the tv is tiny, the view from our rooms was ugly and when we wanted to pay for an upgrade they said there are no suites in the facility???? The main dining room needs an urgent renovation!!!!!! food is CATASTROPHIC!!!!!! We paid each night and went to their A la cart restaurants which was better!!!! The beach restaurant was VERY BAD!!!! I have to say the SPA was THE ONLY GOOD THING IN THE HOTEL!!! NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!

I didnt receive any of the vip access. The morning reception staff are really terrible and unheelpful

It was supposed to be all inclusive resort, but you have to pay for a lot of the activities there including kids activities, colouring, zip line etc... the entrance of the main resturant smells awful, it's understaffed, we always had to ask for cutlery Evening entertainment staff are not qualified at all, it was really funny watching them dancing - no experince at all Kids water park section and adults slides were shut due to people had pooed into the pool for 2 whole days The WiFi was really poor, rarely connecting even in the bedroom some of the staff are rude It's good if you paid for a 4 star hotel but definitely not a resort

Very recommended!

The rooms are not clean, although there is daily cleaning of the rooms, but I don’t give it as a rating more than 2! Also, The main restaurant smelled very bad. Not once or twice but unfortunately ALL the time!! And for the Internet, it is very poor and covers a little space. There’s rarely internet at the swimming pools! Most of the activities you should pay for! Zipline, daily kids activities from painting and others are not free! Only the night show are free. So what is the meaning of All inclusive! There is a lot of dirt and garbage on the beach!! It is so dirty that you can't swim and relax on it. And last thing, the snacks which is available at every resort like pizza, potato and burger are not allowed at swimming pools and beach. you have to go to restaurant to order and you are not allowed to take out the food! only drinks, ice cream and gozleme are available.

Loved everything about this resort. My 4 year old had the time of his life. Already planning to return next year.

They said to us it’s all inclusive but they charged us for room services and restaurants. The Main restaurant always smelled bad and bad quality food. The staff most of them very aggressive and not friendly. I won’t back there anymore.

Good resort for a family. Beach is at a walkable distance. Hotel also provides a shuttle which runs every 5 mins from the hotel. Beach is 2 mins away in the shuttle. A very good and maintained resort with a lot of restaurant / bars.

Was wonderful

This is not a 5*, we paid £1,000 for one week and paid extra for a partial sea view, the room was tiny, and the view was awful, all there was in front of the balcony, was large buildings, very small,sea view, went straight to reception and asked to be moved, no availability, called Expedia, absolutely no help,from you, and was told i could not receive a refund and they would not move me, as this is the room i booked, it was not, it was not the same as the photos.Thank you, i will not use you again.

Very nice lugar the pool and beach is very nice lo que no me gusto que terminan muy temprano la música y las actividades en la playa ya a las 11:30 de la noche no hay nada que hacer y los restaurantes cierran a las 8 muy temprano

not worthy the value paid.

it is less than expectation. a little old hotel with normal food and bad smell in restaurant. most employees were nice and some were not. one girl in Panorama bar was agressive. i dont think i will repeat it again especially against this high value paid for it.

I loved the professional and welcoming staff , the location , the clean hotel and the service. The hotel had a lot of character , a lot to do at the hotel

Service was great food was excellent clean room staff was polite

Service and hotel grading

The main hotel building is great big enough rooms and great service but the outer buildings the rooms are very small and should have a 2 star rating instead of the 5 and there should be a wide price difference between the 2 types of accommodation. English being a universal language I would have expected more English understanding hostesses. Further the kids menu should be considered. Due to an option to have breakfast lunch and dinner included what I experienced is that there was plenty food which left room for wastage - I would suggest providing options but limiting it a 5/6 options at a time so the menu is varied everyday not to see the same food and deserts everyday. Lastly though noting that people have choices, for the 8 days I was there there was a lady cleaning part of level A I saw her cleaning my room, the days I was there for lunch she was moping the floor at the main restaurant and the evenings she was still there and she did look tired which was a bit of a concern to the labor laws.

Hotels.com FRAUD

Hotels.com cheated us on the booking by showing incorrect pictures and yet they charged us a very high sum for the hotel

This hotel is the perfect place for a vacation with kids!!! we had an amazing time!

this is a resort that started off trying to be a luxury 5 star hotel but is resigned to mainly catering to families and kids, hence the standards are of a 4 star at most.

The beach is far from the hotel and u have to use shuttle bus which is not clear in all websites

Good and very helpful staff . Need to improve the food quality and dishes

This was our third visit to the resort & as always everything & the staff were superb. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a great choice of restaurants catering for every taste from snacks to high quality cuisine. Also the amenities are vast including a chidren's fun park which is only a 5minute walk away or you can go via the free shuttle bus. We will definately be visiting again!

Amenities are good . Didn’t like : A/C controls won’t work .Only heating works in rooms .

Bad reviews from start to finish about Aska Lara hotel and spa, they put us in a annex room which was 5/10mins walk to the hotel and was inconvenient for us as I got to the hotel ill and was really poorly, the staff did not want to help me at all, we called Expedia but got put through to Expedia US instead after waiting almost an hour talking to Dave from the call centre in India. So annoyed and angry we had to put up with the staff been rude and I whole holiday got ruined from the start, it was our honeymoon and we told this to the staff aswell and nothing was organised or done for us to have a better stay at Aska Lara Beach resort & Spa.

Because it was our honeymoon they give us champine cake and breakfast in room

Rude Studd, careless, not understanding

Rude stuff and not understanding at all!

Very pleasant with nice friendly staff. Clean room

The reception was really rude they even didn’t smile, the room wasn’t at good condition there were lots of mould and dirty things. Lot’s of nosing even meddle night . The food was ok but every day same we stayed there 5 nights there is same food for every day. The hotel facilities maximum is 4* hotel. Then it’s very far from city centre if you take taxi to city centre you have to pay $50 each way or with bus you have spand 1.20 minutes to rech downtown. Do not trust the photo on the booking website it was for many years ago now hotel is old.

Loved this stay. Staff could not help y I u anymore. They do a fabulous gluten free brown seeded loaf which is amazing. I was very grateful for that especially in Turkey where gluten free bread is hard to get. Thank you so much to the restaurant manager and chef for my super leaving gift 😊

some restaurants were closed. bar full of kids ( 6-10 year olds) not relaxing. food OK.

Nothing unique at all for the area, except an overabundance of Drunk Russians. There is no direct sea view, as this property is located on the wrong side of the street for one. The food was very well below standards for the area. It was often bland, unseasoned or low quality. The snack area too was a total disappointment and featured below average tasting cakes and hobbled together sandwiches. We have stayed at 3 other resorts and this is the worst food we have had.

Lovely resort, 5 min walk from lara beach. There is a taxi station just outside the main entrance. Bus services are regular to the city centre with the bus stop 2 mins walk from the main entrance. The hotel provides bus tickets and these can be topped up at the store next to the bus stop. So many shopping centres, walking and driving distance. The hotel was very clean. The all inclusive pass was great and the receptionist was very friendly when we arrived, providing us early check in free of charge. The spa is amazing, with great deals offered if you speak to the woman there. Its a great place for kids.

Nice all inclusive (breakfast, lunch and dinner and spa) hotel in Antalya

Amazing vacation resort hotel in Antalya with all inclusive option

Thanks very much ;) Super hotel Stuff Service Rooms Spa everything fantastic

There was cat everywhere I was unable to relax or eat outdoor, it was a bad hotel for me

Hotel and it’s staff were beyond the 5* stars they have been rated. You can only experience it once you stay there.

I loved this hotel, the waiters were very helpful and friendly. The hotel was very clean, spa and other facilities were good.

Trusted Hotels.com got no trust onindividualHotels

We had a not so good experience we booked for the water park and it was closed never mentioned when we booked the property where informed after checkin and paying full amount disappointed Hotels .com should refund us for this blunder

amazing resort

amazing resort with unlimited all inclusive food and drinks, they have their own beach park and water resort. the beach access is super cool

LOCATION- Great as it is not far from the beach which is beautiful. Can take a free shuttle or 10 minute walk. Bus stop not far if you want to venture out and also a taxi ranch. Close to the airport too which helps with taxi costs. FOOD- There is so much choice with the food and it is delicious. We had all inclusive and it was a good choice! ROOM- The room was very nice and clean. Towels chanhed daily and toiletries provided. STAFF- Friendly and helpful. HOTEL AMENITIES- Hotel includes many facilities like a range of pools, spa, salon, cinema etc. There is always something to do at the resort so it will keep you busy. I would recommend this hotel but I would advise to stay in the main building rather than the River Suites. They tell you a shuttle will come every 5-10 minutes there but it does not. Few people were waiting for ages for a shuttle during heavy rain despite calling the main desk. There is a marble slope which makes it dangerous during rain. The rooms are dingy and dark. The generator kept turning on and off which was very loud and disrupted sleep. On the plus, the pool is always empty at the River suites.

Good food and clean, the team is welcoming , good atmosphere and entertainment

Amazing hotel and perfect trip and wonderfull country

Good resort for kids. Everything is there to keep them enterntained. We wouldn’t stay at this hotel as a couple without kids, sure there’s much better resorts for couples. We were with 2 young children and it was perfect for such a trip Our only complaint would be the amount of people in the hotel. It was PACKED. Queues to speak to reception, queues to get the shuttle to the beach, and back, queues to get food, elevators full. The worst part was the main dining area which was like leaving a stadium after a concert, it was so busy. Going for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main dining area was frustrating as there were just far too many people. Long queues to get food, taking away the fun of family meal times. There was however a good selection of food, but as with most buffet style food, the standard wasn’t amazing. It was ok. There are various restaurants on site that you can reserve a table, it’s 10 euro a head, and the food and service is better. Pools - if you want a bed you will need to get up at 6am and put a towel on one, as that seems to be what everyone else are doing. Wet and wild park is great for the kids. Same issue with beds. Top tip would be to take one of the ‘pavillions’ On the beach for a day. It’s 50 euro, gives you complete comfort and much needed shade for the kids. The best part is that there are waiters bringing you drinks, snacks, fruit, ice cream etc all day long. All included in the ‘all inclusive’ accommodation.

Nice place, friendly staff, clean room, we all enjoyed the water park.

Nice hotel, super busy

Very nice hotel but would not go back again. Very busy by both the pool and wet & wild area, if you were not up early you would not get a sun bed. Also disappointed that after spending a considerable amount of money for the holiday I had a connecting door in my room so I could hear everything the family next door was doing. I did complain to reception but they had no alternative room to move me to. Also they said I had a better room because it had a pool view, I would rather of had a room not connecting to a family I didn't know ensuring a more peaceful stay, although the door was locked.

Aksa has amazing hospitality and in all inclusive package almost everything is included. The facilties are amazing and the variety and quality of meals and snacks is also up to the mark. For the price it is a bargain.

An absolute disappointment!

This hotel is not a 5 star at all. Service is terrible...food is horrible and the overall hotel facilities are not that great. We arrived late at night off our flight and the room had little bugs all on the walls ,side tables & even the bed! Asked to move rooms and they were not bothered at all until I had to go down and beg them to change the room because of my little boy. Such a let down, not impressed at all and very sad our trip was overall rubbish.

nice

very nice

Lovely amazing friendly staff! Visited.with my friend we both have no kids. I love the hotel facilities and staff however TOOOO many kids!

Excellent hotel and friendly staff with great variety of food and acrivities but the room ia full of ants and moscitos. Even when they brought us a gift (sweets) for my positive feedback it was full of ants so i put it outside at the balcony.

Fantastic hotel. The only thing I would say is that, after staying in other hotels in the area, this hotel could do with a bar area that provides some music in the evenings. Just back ground music would be enough. I know there is plenty of entertainment in the wild and wild park but it would be good for the pool bar to stay open later with some form of music in there. This would be the icing on the cake. This is the only thing and in no way detracted from our wonderful experience. Unfortunately you have to put up with rude Russian people pushing past you at lifts/restaurants etc but this is in no way a reflection on the hotel as they are not responsible for other people's manners and respect. A fantastic holiday and we are seriously thinking of booking for next year.

We were very impressed with standard of hotel. Size of room, comfort of bed. The shower was decent too. Never had an issue with any staff and service was excellent. Only slight disappointment was the rudeness of Russian and German guests. At dinner time they have zero manners and the kids are basically ferel rude little kids. This has nothing to do with the hotel just a shame some of their guests are incredibly rude and ignorant. The a la Carter restaurants excellent too. Especially the fish restaurant. Would highly recommend hotel to others but warn them the Russian and German guests are vile.

Family holiday

This place is amazing and the food is nice too. I would most certainly recommend this place to people with children as it’s ideal for that.

The hotel was very nice, great amenities my only complaint is the pillows weren't comfortable at all. They were too high other than this i would recommend coming to Aska!

Excellent hotel

Excellent hotel with very good facilities. Enjoyed all meals with a wide range of dishes, all of which were delicious. The bed was very comfortable, the pool and spa facilities were of very high quality also. The beach is only 5 min walk away, and the shuttle service to the beach was very convenient.

Bad !

Yesterday I returned from my holiday in Antalya, which I ordered through you. I'm very disappointed of the hotel I ordered. And the disappointment is that the explanation of the hotel that appears on your site and in your reservation does not correspond to reality at all . In the explanation that appears on your website, the hotel is a luxurious hotel and is accompanied by pictures of rooms with beautiful views. But in reality we got a room in the building which is at least a 10-minute walk from the main building. We got a room in a side building that looked more like an old-age home than a fancy hotel Getting a room so far from the hotel and the hotel facilities made us angry and disappointed. We are with a one-year-old baby, and with a baby carriage that we had to carry all day, and every time we needed even a small thing from the room. We also had to carry the baby when she slept very late at night from the main building to the side building in a cold and a cold wind. I did another search now on your site, next to my order there is another name of a building, but there is no explanation of what this building is and it does not appear that it is a building at all detached from the hotel and from the hotel facilities. The pictures show a magnificent building with pools around, when my stay was in a building that looks more like an old age home with no grandeur than what appears in the pictures. I arrived at the hotel on Friday and upon receiving the room I immediately

Not so a Spa Hotel

This was a second andprobably a last time in this hotel. The room in the annex builing is an fact a large appartment . The water part on the beach is very good. Food and drinks are of very high standards. The main disspointment is the spa center . A pool the size of a puddle . Always noisy. Hamam is used as public bath. 2 inadiqute saunas filled beyond capacity almost all the time. To my opinion the hotel is not for those looking for quick and easy access to sea and a quit relaxing spa. But as mention above rooms are comfortable and food and drinks are great

Amazing Hotel

I absolutely loved staying at Aska Lara. Everything was within the hotel. Packed with activities such as archery etc. The staff made it an enjoyable experience too, funny, bubbly and enthusiastic. Archery with staff (Arhun and tito) was just the funniest. The hotel had all the facilities you need. The staff were friendly and approachable. The customer service was brilliant. Waiters would ask if we needed any refreshments. Defo recommend this hotel to everyone,

did not live up to my expectations

heard good things about Antalaya but when got to Aska Lara felt like staff were unapprochable. reception desk didnt have enough staff to deal with queries. everytime had to wait as nobody would be free. staff in cafe and disco area were quite rude. if you ask them for a drink its seemed as if it was too much to ask. wet and wild park is seperate from main building although it looks really nice for kids but timing is limited. the slides were only open for 2hrs 14:00 to 16:00. and the kids waterslides were not open which was a big disappointment as our kids are under 6. overall i feel i didnt get what i paid for. staff at the hotel were not as friendly as i thought they would be. food was ok nothing special. i don't think i will recommend the hotel.

Hotel is ok and near the beach

Hotel is nice food is ok Facilities are good but only 1 problem ironing is too expensive £43 for 6 items And nobody speak english apart from reception. Please take ur travel iron

Very good

Nice time

It does not matter if it satisfies or not at least

The place was nice but boring and the food was repeated every day and I was there for 8 nights and had a good selection and did not know what would make me return to this hotel again

Friendly staff, good food, mediocre entertainmen.

Staff was pleasant. Although they weren’t able to resolve a descrepency related to All Inclusive vs Half Board (H B). Food was excellent and entertainment can use some help. It’s more for families than couples. The internet was slow and occasionally sporadic. Some noise from the kids at the hotel especially during the morning and evening hours.

Bad Hotel

Not worth and looks like two stars hotels

As a family we came to this hotel two years ago, we felt the high standards had slipped, the meals were so repeatative same things being Xmas nothing really seasonal. Evening entertainment not very exciting I don't blame this on staff but it comes down to cost cutting. I don't normally complain but we felt the standards had fallen.

Warm and friendly

Aska Lara was an experience to remember. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room had a very beautiful finish accompanied with a mini fridge. Anka the main restaurant had an array of foods and very tasty Turkish desserts. Panorama bar was where the evening events took place and the cocktails there are amazing. Amon spa has a variety of treatments and the staff there are extremely professional and friendly. I absolutely loved my stay and I am definitely going back next year ❤️
