Aska Lara Resort & SPA

7 day family holiday here in October 2026. On arrival our bags were taken to our rooms quick check in. STARBUCKS was good to have at the hotel which is open from 10am to 6.30pm. BARS - All the drinks I ordered were good although all the staff behind the bars were not happy at all they didn't look happy when we ordered cold coffees instead of cocktails. They have milkshakes for the kids and you can get crisps/nuts from all the bars and ice cream. Room we had room 1332 this was a double room with pool view and we were in the middle of the hotel looking out to a lovely view the room had a double and a single in it, mini bar was topped up everyday. Rooms were made up everyday and towels replaced but our floors never felt clean. Some of the towels we got were torn and one had a hole in it so that wasn't Great. MINI DISCO was one of the worst I've seen unfortunately 30 mins of the same thing everynight from half 8 till 9pm then the other entertainment did not start till half 9.30pm and 30 minutes with a 6 year old Is a very long time for them so on a few nights we didn't stay. All the entertainment is a 2 minute bus journey to wet and wild which was fine but felt the security wasn't great as we walked down and our bands were not checked. The actually entertainment that we stayed for was good though and we all enjoyed it. For kids with sensory issues though the music would maybe be far too loud. FOOD/RESTAURANTS- this really stressed me out, I am unfortunately a fussy adult so I did struggle some nights, there is a huge amount of food stations and a kids bit right through the back but just felt everything was just a massive effort to get food and was so busy all of the time. Breakfast was quiet if you went for 7.30am. We did not use any of the Al a carte. Everything that we did eat was good though. HIRE OUT A PAVILLION for the beach day this was an amazing experience breakfast, snacks, drinks, fruit all day they make sure your good and you get a mini fridge topped up all day too. Parasailing on the beach was an amazing experience. WET & WILD -this is where all the pools/slides are and the kids club - buses are regular and can get busy but it is a 5 minute walk and there is a crossing is you dont want to get the bus. Splash park, small pool with slides and the kids slides were good all the other pools were deep. Kids club we used 1 day and they decorated cakes and then you can pay 20euro for a tshirt to paint and you then recieve a certificate and a medal. We ate lunch at wet and wild most days they have pizzas and wraps which were lovely. You can also get wraps with cheese or sugar in and massive baked potatoes with mozzarella around in the wee stalls. Slides are amazing only one day where there wasn't a lifeguard and adults took over the kids slides which was crazy but was sorted very quickly once we mentioned this to the staff. Hotel shops very expensive underneath but shopping centres all around one is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Before 10am you were fine for beds at the hotel or wet and wild but after lunch you might struggle. Overall we did enjoy staying here but would say it's more a 4* and just felt the place was far too big for us as a family but that's not to say that other families won't enjoy it. Best bits from a 6 year old - the slides, the pancakes for breakfast and the baked potato and sugar wraps and milkshakes at wet and wild, she also said the lentil soup was nice at the main restaurant, the splash park and the beach was fun.

Unforgettable holiday – Zehra made our stay extra special! We spent a wonderful vacation at Aska Lara and enjoyed every single minute of it. The atmosphere, the daytime activities, and especially the evening entertainment shows were top-notch and full of great moments. A very special mention and heartfelt thank you goes to Zehra from the animation team! Her incredible energy, constant attention, and warm friendliness truly stood out every day. She always brought a smile to our faces and went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time. Thank you so much, Zehra, and thank you Aska Lara for such a memorable experience! ❤️

Beautiful resort and plenty of entertainment on offer (which is only a short shuttle bus journey away). They have an on site star bucks too but it's very limited. The resort is very clean and tidy amd staff are helpful and friendly. Rooms are also very nice and spacious amd cleaned daily. The pools at the main resort are also quite nice and offer a more quieter experience whilst the main entertainment area which is maybe a 10 min walk/ 5min shuttle bus journey offers more music and entertainment as well as the evening entertainment.

This was my first visit to Turkey. I was booked in the annexe which I didn't think was good. I asked for a room in the main hotel and had to pay £150 extra for it which I thought was very unfair! However the hotel food was quite good. But the highlight has to be the entertainment! We enjoyed the evenings spent at the beach side . The girls on the team especially Zehra was just too good. She immediately for us up and dancing. The next day was Karaoke abs once again she encouraged us to partake and we had another great night! Looking forward to the rest of our stay here. Beach is excellent and there are quite a few swimming pools for all ages !

Absolutely one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at. Everything was beyond excellent—from the beautiful rooms and outstanding cleanliness to the delicious food, amazing facilities, and relaxing atmosphere. Every detail is carefully taken care of, making guests feel truly welcome and comfortable. The biggest highlight of our stay was the staff. They are incredibly kind, professional, respectful, and always smiling. Despite the extremely hot weather and the hard work they do every day, they continue serving guests with genuine passion and positive energy, as if this hotel were their own. Their dedication deserves the highest appreciation. I sincerely hope the hotel management recognizes their incredible efforts and rewards them, because employees like these are the true reason guests leave with unforgettable memories and want to return again. Thank you to every single member of the team for making our vacation perfect. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this resort to everyone.❤️
