Laren Sea Side Hotel Spa

I stayed at this accommodation as part of my dental package. I chose this hotel as it seemed the best out of the options I was given to choose from. Big mistake! The website of this place is VERY misleading. I was quite shocked when my driver pulled outside the entrance. First appearance is everything and I was so disappointed with what I walked into. I stayed in room 304 and was then moved to room 208 after 2 days, this was due to my complaint about the bathroom only having one out of three lights working. The staff barely spoke english, the 'breakfast' was poor, the smell of cooked food was pungent throughout the entire property. The pool area was pathetic. I dared not to go out there with my bathing clothes as I felt the staff (all male except one female) would be ogling me! I met a couple who also in Antalya for dental treatment. They we're staying in another (5 star) hotel. We bonded fairly quickly, they invited over to their hotel to sunbathe, swim when I had down time, which was a God send. Another traveller staying at Laren Seaside said this will be her first and last time staying at this accommodation, she too as well as a family of four had several complaints - one specifically about the overhead shower becoming loose and just missing the head of the husband, he told me it happened on day one, four days in and it was just sitting on the side of the shower cubicle. Despite bringing it to the attention of the hotel, nothing was done!!! Avoid if you can!

Fine place. Nice and clean

We chose this hotel partly due to close location and easy access to Antalya airport with rental car, as we had early flight on departure day. Hotel offered however many positive surprises to us. We arrived to hotel very late in the evening after long drive from Cappadocia. Too late to go to eat in any restaurant. But this hotel offered us late dinner as room service. Menu was quite many-sided and price surprisingly affordable. Service in this hotel was also otherwise excellent and reception answered to all our questions with best effort. Breakfast buffet was very good and many-sided. Surprisingly we got also fruit plates and cocktails to our room free of charge in the afternoon for some reason. Price-quality ratio of hotel buffet dinner in the evening was also excellent. Hotel offers free transfer to Lareen beach about 5 km from the hotel. We tested the beach, which offers all needed. Spa services of the hotel we did not use. Within short walking distance from the hotel are beautiful Duden water falls. Hotel is located nicely on quiet side street. Hotel room itself was the least positive thing in this hotel. It was cramped and impractical concerning layout, although it was meant for three persons. Balcony was very small. There was also some technical problems with our room. Sound-isolation outside was however good and noises of aeroplanes did not disturb us.

Great location for a family holiday very affordable. Everything you need close by. Highly recommend staff great. The food was very tasty the ambience and all the people that come very good vibes highly recommend. Also enjoyed some baking by the pool the weather is perfect. What more could I ask for?
