Wind of Lara Hotel and SPA

The beach was calm and clean, with a private area that was great for sunbathing. A quick shuttle made getting there easy. Back at the hotel, the pool area was lovely, and the entertainment team kept things lively with activities and evening shows while still giving us room to relax when we wanted quiet. We were warmly welcomed at Wind of Lara Hotel. It's a stylish, modern place that's kept in great shape. Our room was spacious and cozy, with a beautiful view and the amenities we needed. Housekeeping left it fresh and spotless every day. There was a wide range of food at each meal, including fresh Turkish dishes and themed evenings. We loved the desserts, too. Staff throughout the hotel were friendly, helpful, and professional, and made us feel special each day.

The animation team brought a lot of fun, especially Mekham, Diane, Joey, and Murat. Osman was a highlight too, always singing as he walked around and putting smiles on people's faces. One night the animators took us out and made sure we were looked after. We also played water polo every day and only lost once, and the Couples Challenge is worth staying for. There are water slides and shisha on site as well. Food was a big plus, with Taco Night and Turkish Night on Wednesdays among the themed dinners. Meals were available from 7am until midnight, though we fancied eating outside once or twice for a change. Drinks were okay, but the bartenders at Wind Bar made better cocktails. Most staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, though we did run into a couple who seemed moody. The hotel itself was spotless. There are plenty of shops and supermarkets nearby, but prices seemed higher than elsewhere in Antalya and most things were priced in euros. You can barter, so don't be shy about haggling. The coach and boat service made the beach easy to reach, and the all-inclusive beach section had food and drinks. We had a brilliant time overall and made loads of good memories.

The beach was decent, with security and a shuttle, though it's an easy straight walk of under ten minutes if you'd rather go on foot. Food and drinks had plenty of variety, the serving times were reasonable, and there was something for different tastes. They even have a hair salon, which is handy. This was my first all-inclusive booking in Antalya, and Wind of Lara made it memorable. The staff were helpful and took care of things I needed without any trouble. I also loved the spa and booked three massages during my stay. I'd recommend the hotel to family and friends, and hope to book again soon.

We had a lovely ten-night stay and would definitely come back. Mert and the other reception staff were amazing, always going the extra mile when we needed something. Staff around the hotel were friendly and helpful, and bar service was really quick. Our room was a good size with a lovely pool view from the balcony. The food was good, and we found something to eat most nights. The poolside snack bar was great too.
