La Mer Deluxe

The location is handy, close to the center, and after three stays I still hate seeing the holiday end. The rooms, kitchen and balcony are clean, roomy and lovely. There's so much included, from the Turkish bath, sauna and pool to an exercise area, it feels like having a hotel's spa to yourself. The staff are warm and attentive, and every little detail seems to have been considered. I'd recommend Lamer Deluxe to anyone wanting a villa break they can feel good about.

We spent our honeymoon there two years back, and the villa was wonderful. Ferhat was especially friendly and always ready to help.

MY TWO-YEAR-OLD SON'S ARM GOT STUCK IN AN OPEN VACUUM HOLE IN THE POOL. IT HAD BEEN LEFT UNFIXED AND FORGOTTEN. This was gross negligence and put his life at risk. He was submerged up to half his height, and the suction was so strong I couldn't pull him free. For three days we took him to the doctor to check for any loss of sensation. They put a 20-year-old in front of us as the person responsible. Families with children should absolutely not choose this house. I want this negligence punished as soon as possible. The children's pool exits also seem designed in a way that children could fall in. I have all the photos and correspondence with the villa owner.

The power cuts were a major problem during our stay, happening 6-7 times a day. Since the water depends on electricity, long outages stopped the water too, and the generator wasn't working. The exercise bike was broken, and the equipment had been affected by humidity. The air conditioners really need regular cleaning because of the damp, mold and dust. There were lots of flies, so mosquito nets would help. The entrance is very steep, making a car essential and walking unsuitable. Parking is open here, although other villas in the complex have covered spots, which matters in the hot Antalya sun. Some kitchen items, like the pans, pots and toaster, need replacing, and this villa's barbecue is old while others have new ones. On the plus side, the private indoor pool is well kept, 130 cm deep, and the Turkish bath, sauna and fitness center were clean and working well. Every room had air conditioning, Netflix TV and Bluetooth speakers. The kitchenware and towels were clean and adequate, and there was a cold water dispenser, gas stove, barbecue, plus Samsung oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher. We were satisfied overall and felt the offer was fair for the price. I'd gladly stay again if the electricity issue is sorted out.
