Wind of Lara Hotel & Spa

Double A

We had a 4 night stay at this hotel in Oct 2024. Everything went well from customer service, pools, entertainment and the remaining facilities available to us. The only aspect which lets the resort down slightly is the food. Plenty of options available but in my opinion it was low on quality. Positives were the spacious and modern rooms, spa and wellness centre has some great people there, beach wasn’t too far away, cleaners can be seen all the time, pools and entertainment were good too.

Warning! Don't recommend this place. Went here with my 3 children (1 daughter and 2 sons) When we had arrived, They literally left us to go and put our suitcases upstairs. We only ate their food once and it was seriously cold. One time, one of the staff went to our room without any permission. I locked the door and couldn't open it back. My oldest son who is 11 years old, tried opening it back but couldn't. So i had to call one of the staff to go and fix it and that was when we realised they had broke the door. Horrid place, never coming here again.

We had a stay for 4 days, the property had a nice vibe along with the room. The issue we faced was with the housekeeping the other day. I have a 10 months old baby. Except the bed ,, The entire room, its floor wasn’t cleaned at all. Used napkins weren’t picked up and after complaining at the reception , they said “the staff is like that only” showing no signs to help. The major issue was not having options for vegetarian food. People can’t survive only with 2 options for vegetarian food (especially after paying so much where food is inclusive). The staff isn’t that friendly here as compared to other hotels that I visited in Istanbul and cappadocia

Do NOT bother staying at this hotel. Toilet and shower stunk for the entire week-stay and when we told them, a cleaner came in and sprayed air freshener down the drains and left. Majority of the hotel speak very little English which was quite unbelievable considering they’re located in the middle of tourism and having advertised as being able to speak English. No communication of what the hotel had to offer, where pick up and drop off points were. Had to figure out everything ourselves. Reception were very blunt and rude, no help at all. Towels always had stains. Food was horrendous, half of it was just salad, no flavour, chicken wasn’t properly cooked. We left behind a valuable item which never left the room, checked all our luggage as soon as we realised, rang them and said nothing was there. Find that hard to believe. On the plus side, had good variety of drinks at the bar throughout the day. Pool had nice views. The rooms were nice and spacious, clean and the location had convenience, located near shops and beach. Overall, the service and food was a downside and would not recommend this hotel

This is a 3 star hotel at a push. We travelled from London, UK. Pros - The pool area is nice, it’s close to the airport. Cons - The bathrooms don’t have windows nor extractor fans so it gets HOT in there and no way to remove smells. You have no control over the air con temperature in your room. The hotel decides on the temperature and it remains that way. The drinks are horrible, cheapest alcohol possible used, the wine tastes like vinegar, the spirits are watered down. The staff are constantly trying to get money from you, they rush to take your suitcases to your room when you arrive and expect a tip, they expect tips at the bar and prioritise serving those who give tips, you only get table service at dinner if you give tips. They overcharge you when booking airport transfers - instead just use Uber to pay 1/3 of the price! Our airport transfer booked by the hotel also turned up 30 minutes late and didn’t apologise. The food is ok.. but it’s constantly the same thing again and again. Dinner dishes are recycled for lunch the next day. The man who runs the spa (always walking around in white tshirt and shorts) scammed us into booking a massage, which we then realised he charged more than advertised for and demanded we pay in advance. He also then decided he would change our appointment time without informing us and told us to “just come back in an hour”, so he could prioritise a Turkish family before us. There’s better hotels in this area - give this one a miss.
