Resort Villages Baia Lara Hotel
Kemeragzi Mevkii Oteller Bolgesi Antalya, 07000 Lara, Turkey
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Honestly, when I first pulled up to the Baia Lara, I wasn’t expecting much – you know how these big resort hotels can be, all flash and no substance. But this place actually surprised me in the best way. It sits right in that prime stretch of Lara Beach where all the serious hotels compete for space, and somehow they’ve managed to make it feel less like a tourist factory and more like… well, somewhere you’d actually want to hang out for a week.
The location is pretty brilliant if you know Antalya at all. You’re far enough from the chaos of Kaleiçi (the old town) to get that resort vibe, but close enough that a quick dolmuş ride gets you there when you want real Turkish food instead of the international buffet stuff. The beach access is what really sold me though – you walk out the back and you’re on this gorgeous stretch of sand that the locals call “Turkey’s Riviera,” and I mean, they’re not wrong. The water’s that impossible Mediterranean blue that makes your Instagram followers think you’re using filters. The hotel staff actually knows the best times to grab beach chairs too, which sounds small but trust me, it matters when you’re dealing with peak season crowds.
What I really appreciated was how they’ve balanced the whole five-star thing without being stuffy about it. The lobby’s impressive without making you feel underdressed, and the rooms – well, they’re spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your suitcase every five minutes. The AC actually works (you’d be surprised how many places mess this up in Turkish summers), and the balcony views are legit. I stayed on the sea-facing side and could watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean every morning, which honestly became my favorite part of the day. The dining situation is solid too – not groundbreaking, but way better than the usual resort fare. They do this Turkish breakfast spread that’s worth getting up early for, and their dinner buffet actually changes things up instead of serving the same rotation all week.
The 8.4 rating makes total sense to me because it’s one of those places that just works without any major drama. Check-in was smooth, the Wi-Fi didn’t make me want to throw my laptop out the window, and the pool area manages to be lively without turning into spring break chaos. Sure, it gets busy during peak summer months – July and August can be pretty intense – but the staff handles it well, and there’s enough space that you can always find a quiet corner if that’s your thing. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between authentic Turkish hospitality and resort comfort, this place nails it.

Denis from Czech Republic
Very nice hotel, spacious rooms (thank you for a free room upgrade!), polite staff especially at reception, main restaurant and main bar. Delicious food with a great variety. Nespresso coffee is a nice addition. Compliment for all new arrivals (fruits and small bottle of wine). Cleaning was ok. Thank you, we had a great time!
