Adalya Elite Lara Hotel

All together Adalya Elite is an excellent All-inclusive Resort. You don't need to leave the hotel, everything is free inside, except for some small things, such as the SPA-Area, Photo-Shootings, Bingo and the Arcade games. But if you want to make a trip to Antalya, the bus station is only 100 meters away from the hotel. There are some shops around the hotel, but for shopping, a trip to Antalya is definitely worth it. The entertainment crew was really exceptional. From the first day on we felt welcomed and since they all introduced themselves already on day one, we felt like we had many friends in the Resort. Compared to other hotels this is really a plus. The pools are very clean and the range of food in the outdoor area is great. There is a list of about 20 alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, which you can order at any bar. The beach is unfortunately very stony, but there were, although it was very crowded, enough sunbeds. When we arrived, the deck was opened as well. Lying there is great. There is also a bar. However, you have to walk pretty far to find the toilets, as there are no sanitary areas on the beach. The rooms are clean, there is a spacious bathroom with a huge shower, unfortunately, no bathtub. The mini bar is filled every day with Coke, Fanta, Sprite and one Efes beer.

We came to the hotel at the end of April and didn't expect it to be so full. Even though most of the countries didn't have school vacations any more, there were many children and the hotel was really crowded. This was especially a problem when it came to breakfast and lunch. At 7 pm hundreds of people flocked in the food area, and the hotel crew couldn't manage this amount of people. There is an adult area. But of course, it is also very full. But you can find a good spot if you come after 8:30. The food was ok but compared to other 5 star hotels in the region is somehow boring. There was no variation in the buffet (especially for breakfast). The Variety of the fruits was very boring; we did expect more than apples and bananas. Every evening they served strawberries, which was nice, but after seven days, we really felt its time for a change. During the day, however, there are plenty of other places to eat at the resort. The A la Carte Chinese restaurant is no visit worth it. We went there to eat sushi but they only served three different kind of sushi, and many dishes were unfortunately not available. The staff was very friendly, but for a restaurant visit, we expected more. The room has thin walls which you can hear your neighbours through. It will be a problem if they have loud kids. We had not booked the room with sea view. That would not have been worth it, because you will look more at the pools than at sea. However, it looks like a new hotel is being built next door. Every morning we were woken up by loud excavators carrying away the first rubble.
