Why MELAS LARA HOTEL 5*?

Location

The hotel's location is ideal for those looking to explore Antalya, with the beach right at the doorstep and the city center just a short drive away. Guests appreciated the proximity to historical sites and the ease of access to public transportation. The beachfront setting provides stunning views from many of the rooms, enhancing the overall experience.

Entertainment

Guests loved the night entertainment, which featured professional and fun shows. The entertainment staff made a great effort to engage with guests, especially children, making the evenings enjoyable for families. One guest mentioned, 'I loved the night entertainment. The shows were all professional and fun to watch.' ("Мне очень понравились вечерние развлечения. Шоу были профессиональными и веселыми для просмотра.")

Common criticisms

Room Issues

Some guests experienced issues with room assignments, such as not receiving the requested floor level, which was particularly inconvenient for those with mobility concerns. One guest noted, 'We were disappointed to be told we had a 4th floor room despite requesting a ground floor.' ("Мы были разочарованы, когда нам сказали, что у нас номер на 4 этаже, хотя мы просили первый этаж.")

Cleanliness

Cleanliness was a concern for some guests, particularly around the pool area where tables were not cleaned regularly. A guest mentioned finding cigarette butts and spills from the previous day. Additionally, some rooms were not up to standard upon arrival, with sticky floors and unclean bathrooms.

Food And Beverage

While the food was generally praised for its variety, there were complaints about the lack of allergy information and alternative options for those with dietary restrictions. One guest's son had to eat plain pasta due to a lack of allergy-friendly options. Additionally, the quality of cocktails was criticized, with one guest stating they were poorly made.
