This was our first time visiting this hotel, but we have visited others along this strip. Whilst I think the hotel itself and the facilities were lovely, I do think it lacks the 5* feel. 

The rooms are very spacious, and have lots of space and are relatively new. We stayed on the 7th floor and had a lovely room with a big balcony and great view of the side of the hotel/ looking along the front of the hotel. Parts of the hotel were really nice. The layout of the pool and facilities is great, and lots of different bars to sit at and enjoy. 

The lifts in the hotel are a real pain and run really slow, which can be a problem at busy times! 

The general cleanliness of the hotel was one of the most off-putting things for us. The floors in our room were never cleaned during our 2 week stay. The only really cleaning was emptying the bins and changing the towels and sometimes the bed linen. The dining hall was not the cleanest, and as others commented, the tables are not wiped with any cleaning products. The cleanliness round the pool is also a real issue; sunbeds are filthy, the pool is generally quite dirty and the worst bit for us was the flies. Absolutely anywhere we sat round by the pool, there were just a constant swarm of flies. 

The entertainment was not up to a 5* standard. There was very little going on in the day time, and the evening shows were poor. The evening entertainment almost every night is a different singer/ band. Whilst they were really great, it got very tedious and repetitive as they all had the same repertoire! 2 weeks of it slowly drove us crazy - there is no variety. Music shuts off at midnight and then there isn't really anything to do. You'd expect at the beach bar to have some quiet background music at least! 

I found the entertainment team quite rude at times and some of the comments about guests were unacceptable. It also got exceptionally tedious just taking things constantly without even asking i.e. cigarettes. They would get quite rude if you didn't want to participate in games/ bingo etc. 

There were some staff members who went above and beyond - special mention to Ozgukan at the beach bar, and Ayten at the restaurant who is currently in training. These two really made our stay special, and showed genuine care for us. Other than that, there is minimal interaction with staff unless of course you tip them upfront!! I do begrudge tipping to get basic service BEFORE they have done anything! 

The food is very hit and miss in the main dining hall. Some nights there are multiple options, others not really anything and it is a complete free for all. Pushing and shoving, rudeness, picking at things with hands rather than utensils. We also found that the food was extremely repetitive and every few days would be the same thing. By the end of our 2 week stay we were barely having any food at dinner time, because we couldn't face it. I also find it really disappointing that the staff allow people to load up multiple plates, to not even touch it and for it to be wasted.  I know that isn't the fault of the hotel, but they should put in place a policy that if this happens multiple times, guests are charged. We witnessed one table, every single night load up about 4 plates of dinner, and 4 plates of dessert and barely touch any of it. 

The food at the lunch area outside is really good on the whole though and we found we ate more there but it does still lack that 5* factor I feel. 

Overall, we had a pleasant stay but I don't think there is anything platinum about the hotel. It is repetitive, quite boring, and we just didn't get that 'special' and 'welcoming' feel.

Definitely not 5*

Our first holiday at Baia Lara 
Location is fabulous - right off the main shopping strip, although if you want to go to outside restaurants its a fair walk towards the Delphine hotel. 
The hotel is modern, clean, staff friendly, hardly any ques for drinks or food and nothing is too much trouble for the employees.
The water park is small and not that impressive for older children, its more geared for younger kids.
The main pool is vast however the day entertainment was poor and my children were bored.  
Evening entertainment was even worse - mainly just dancing girls to music. 
We stayed at another hotel earlier in the year and the entertainment was so impressive, foam parties, games etc - this hotel was missing that yest!
Rooms were large and comfortable, kettle, mini fridge etc
The mini fridge was not replenished daily which was annoying and we had to ask for this to be done 
Cleaning was great the rooms were kept clean and tidy every day
Hotel gym as great - good air conditioning and equipment.  Free weights, machines and cardio - perfect!
The spa people did not hassle you too much was a plus!

Food was fantastic - loads of options for everyone.  Only downside was theme nights - could of done with a couple more options - chinese or indian would of been nice touch

Drinks were great - using all the normal brands.  Cocktail options within the all inclusive were lovely.
This hotel is great but for us it lacked that spark

Lovely week away - but lacked a spark!

Positives - lovely laid out hotel with sprawling grounds, stunning jetty with sunbeds to relax out at sea, wonderful drinks selection. Really nice outdoor area for the restaurant with be try attentive staff.

Negatives - hotel next door has deafening music until midnight which means half the Baia Lara hotel cannot sleep. Hotel management will offer earplugs if needed. It sadly made this one of the worst holidays we have had in some time, despite how lovely the hotel is overall.

Food is lukewarm even at restaurant opening time, had two minor stomach bugs whilst there.

Cleaner asked for euros daily. We tipped in lira and it was almost handed back. We found that really unpleasant.

Far too noisy to relax

I stay in the hotel with two friends and I can only describe the experience as great. The location of the hotel is beautiful, the room was bigger than we were expecting and very comfortable and the food at the buffet restaurant had ample selection. We also rented one of the pavillions at the beach, which made our holiday just perfect. Furthermore the staff was all smiles and accommodating any time we needed assistance. To summarise, we had the best time.

Great all inclusive hotel

The facility’s at this hotel are impeccable food was on point, hats off to the entertainment team especially Sunay and pablo who kept my family well entertained and were great fun. The land of ledgends was a great experience 20 minutes away.

Great entertainment and food was lovely!

Tui rate this as a Platinum hotel and I really fail to see how they have given this such a good rating.  It is a 3 star at best.  The staff are very over worked and it shows, from the tired buffet and bar staff to the over stretched cleaners ( the rooms are not very clean at all because they only have time to empty the bins and change the towels..the floor was not washed once during our 8 days.  The beds in our room were hard as rock and even with the 2 very thin, stained and old mattress toppers they gave us did not really help.  This is an hotel in a strip of very, very loud hotels and during my research there was no warning of that.  There is no let up in noise from about 10am onwards until after 12pm at night.  It is not always due to in house and sometimes due to other hotels nearby but if you are noise sensitive ( ear plugs did not help ) it is overwhelming, I ended up so sleep deprived after 3 days I had to go to hospital as I was having panic attacks and the nice doctor there prescribed me some sleeping tablets, so that is now an expense I will have the nuisance of claiming back from insurance !.  The pools are arctic ..no chance of a pleasant relaxing swim.  The sunbeds are not padded which I would expect for a Platinum grading.  Management are invisible so no chance to air any complaints to them, instead they fob you off with very pleasant but completely powerless minions.  This is the only all inclusive I have stayed at that does not allow one a la carte per week..they really should as the buffet is truly terrible.  Cheap and recycled from previous days offerings..really how many types of stew can they think of to hide nasty cuts of meat !  Also it was heaving when we were there and no other places to eat in the evening unless you paid out 25 euros per person for a la carte.  This was in no way a pleasant holiday dining experience.  Also no other dining venues for breakfast, there is a nice area near the beach which would be ideal for a lovely breakfast by the sea.  All in all this was the worst holiday in Turkey we have ever had and I would urge anyone thinking of going here to seriously reconsider and go elsewhere.

Platinum ?  more like Flatinum

We’ve just returned as a family of four from our first stay at this resort.
We enjoyed our holiday, the staff are fantastic and very attentive . They are always offering table service for drinks which is a really nice touch.
The hotel site is clean and spacious however at peak times we did struggle to get seated in the bar lounge area and restaurant, but we never waited too long for something to come free.
The drinks at the hotel are premium branded spirits and they offer a decent range of cocktails, as well as iced coffees which my daughter loved.
Unfortunately the pools are very very cold, and whilst the weather was hot and 26-28 most days our children could not use the pools much which really affected their holiday. They want to be in the pool all day every day and they just couldn’t because they would come out shivering after a few
minutes - this was very disappointing as the pool is the highlight of any holiday for most children. We’re from the UK so used to cold pools as they have both done their fair share of weekly swimming lessons where the temperature is never great but this was next level cold. Lots of people complaining and I don’t understand why they couldn’t heat the pools, another family told us they don’t heat them until November. The indoor heated pools also don’t open until November so was not really an option.
The evening entertainment at this hotel was fantastic and the best we’ve seen at any inclusive resort, the only downside is it is in an outdoor area so take layers and the temperature dropped at nights and was chilly.
On the whole the entertainment team were great however I do believe there is a gap with what they have on offer for children between 8-14 during the days as there was not much geared towards them and ours are too old to want to attend the kids clubs.
Food is okay, a good wide selection but also repetitive same as most AI. The snack bar at lunch times was a big hit and our kids especially loved the made to order pizza’s! Unfortunately we did find the food in the buffet not the hottest on a few occasions.
I should also mention the hotel no longer has a Starbucks, instead it has been replaced with a Nespresso coffee bar which was very good and a nice feature.
Rooms are spacious and kids both had their own single beds which was great and they were very happy with.
This is the first holiday I didn’t take shampoo, conditioner and shower gel as we’ve always found previous hotels to have a decent quality offering but this was a big mistake as the conditioner was really poor quality and we ended up going to the shop to buy some.

Great hotel with some nice features but also could improve in a few areas

This is is our seventh trip to Baia Lara this time return as a family of 3 .. we returned as they have nice facilities for kids I have made comments before on this hotel and wanted to give another chance ..

I love the location but standards are still not great,  the cleanliness in the restaurant is pretty poor .. they clean the tables with a orange cloth and no bacterial spray in site I refund to put my little one in the high chair just very dirty.

We also rented one of huts they have on the beach when we received food we found hair and was also served broken plate we were paying  €100 for this not acceptable.

We opted for family room very spacious  but the room is not always cleaned, bed sheets had  holes in .. the cot that we had for the baby sheets were dirty and the side of the cot damaged the baby ended up sleeping in our bed ..

It’s such a shame I love this hotel but it’s no way 5 star they really need to take note off feedback as I see similar comments as mine.

Nice hotel but standards have dropped

The yoga and pilates classes Were excellent every morning! Hotel was nice, nice Weather too. Good food. 
But cleaning in the rooms everyday was not that good.

Staff is very helpfull. 
Very Big hotel with a lot of oppertunity for children. 
Alot of shows.

Yoga and Pilates

Brilliant stay at the hotel, Omer made our stay so much better.  Making sure the kids have a great time. Hotel is very clean,  entertainment all day. Buffet during the day is really good. Shows at night are brilliant but a massive thank you to Omer.
