Fantastic holiday
We are in the last few days of an 11 night stay and none of us want to go home. We are a well travelled family and are fortunate to holiday each year. This resort is definitely one of the best places we have stayed. Our family room is perfect for teenages, no pull out sofa beds and 2 bathrooms are an added bonus. Our rooms have been cleaned every day and mini fridge topped up. The hotel itself is spotless and around the pool staff work hard to keep areas clean. The food has been fantastic with so much choice and a great variety. The bus across to wet and wild is frequent and quick although the walk is not far. We have participated in the wide range of activities put on by the animation team who work hard to entertain all day and all night. The Aperol spritz party was amazing 👏 Big shout out to Gosda who made us feel very welcome and always came over to check in on us each day. The little added extras of ice cream, lollies, crisps and nuts meant no need to buy snacks. We will definitely be returning
Decent all inclusive
We went as a family. The cleanliness and hygiene was amazing, everywhere you looked a staff member was cleaning. Staff are always so friendly, however customer service was not good. They had informed us as we checked in that our suitcases would be delivered to our room, but they were not. They should have kept us updated about this. I also heard a similar complaint from another guest that their communication is not good. Room service is great and quick, they come within 5-10 minutes. The room is beautiful and clean. An amazing view if you get the pool view. With extra-curricular they are great, they leave an information pack at the front of your room that you see as soon as you walk in and they call to check if you would like to do it. I definitely reccomend you do it as there is barely anything to do in Antalya. Have a look at the quad biking and zip lining and definitely plan your day. There is a shuttle bus that takes you from the hotel to the water park which is very convenient. The water park is great and very fun for kids, with small restaurants. The pools at the hotel is amazing, they even have an indoor pool and spa. In terms of food it wasn’t the best or the worst, they had basic food to get through the day for picky eaters or children such as fries and ice cream and pasta. we only stayed for 3 full days. The food was okay, if you’re not staying long. There were lots of drinks about and overall a very good hotel for an all inclusive. Staff can understand a good base level of English and always want to help.
Aska Lara hotel and spa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are on our last day from a 2-week stay at Aska Lara Resort & Spa, and we honestly have had the most amazing time with our 6-year-old son. From the moment we arrived until today, everything exceeded our expectations.
The Wet ’n Wild water park is absolutely fantastic! The slides are brilliant, and there was something for everyone. Our son had the best time and never wanted to leave.
The Kids Club deserves a special mention because it’s by far the best we’ve ever been to. There were so many activities to keep the children entertained throughout the day, and the air-conditioned rooms with PS5s, board games and plenty of indoor activities were a huge bonus, especially during the hottest part of the day. The staff were wonderful too.
The evening entertainment was excellent throughout our stay, with plenty of variety every night, so there was always something different to watch and enjoy. The entertainment team were fantastic—full of energy, enthusiasm and always so friendly and welcoming. They encouraged everyone to get involved but were never pushy. If you politely said “no thank you”, they completely respected that and simply moved on, which we really appreciated.
The food throughout the resort was excellent. The main restaurant offered an incredible variety every day, and everything we tried was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Many of the dishes were ‘English’ however with being in a foreign country, it’s never going to be exactly the same or British food, but we were very happy with what we did have over the 14 days!
We ended up having lunch at the Wet ’n Wild Lounge Bar most days because it was so good. The table service was excellent, and there was a huge choice of freshly cooked food including burgers, pizzas, pasta, plus a fresh salad and fruit counter. We genuinely couldn’t fault it. Thank you to all the staff and especially Serhat, who always went above and beyond for us.
The Wet ’n Wild Pool Bar was another favourite. The jacket potatoes are absolutely huge, the fish and chips were delicious, and the ice creams and freshly made crêpes with all the toppings were a massive hit!
Our room was spotless throughout our stay, and the entire hotel was incredibly clean and well maintained. You could really see how much effort the staff put into keeping everything looking its best.
The lifts can get a little busy at peak times, but with six lifts available we never waited more than a couple of minutes, so it really wasn’t an issue.
A huge shout-out to Cihan in the tattoo studio. He is an exceptional artist! Both myself and my partner decided to get tattoos on our last day, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. He’s incredibly talented, and I would highly recommend paying him a visit if you’re considering getting a tattoo while you’re there.
If you fancy a bit of shopping, there are plenty of shops just outside the hotel (turn left out of the hotel, then left again), and you can also walk around 10–15 minutes to Antalya Mall, which has lots more shops to explore.
One thing to be aware of is that taxis can be quite expensive, but it’s definitely worth negotiating the fare as you can often get a better price. That said, many places are within walking distance anyway.
We were hesitant initially to book as like with most hotels, there were some negative reviews however from our experience we absolutely would not hesitate to return and had the best family holiday here!
Overall, we had an unforgettable holiday and made some amazing family memories. We would highly recommend Aska Lara Resort & Spa to anyone looking for a fantastic family holiday in Turkey!
Excellent family holiday
Excellent accommodation, staff can’t do enough for you. Our stay here has been excellent from start to finish.
