As someone who doesn't like resort hotels I happily concede that this place is wonderful
So much thought and effort has gone into the planning and landscaping
One caveat, we didn't leave the hotel for a week because there is so much to do there we didn't need to.
More adventurous guests won't find anything within walking distance but excursion are available.
That aside every bar, every restaurant, every pool is beautiful.
Staff are invisible but attentive when needed.
So many food choices! All excellent.
Night time entertainment is of the variety category - all we saw we very good, very skilled and talented.
There is a lot of love, effort and thoughts gone into making this very special.
Favourite spot - the pier 👍

Wow, wow! Wow !
The first is for the hotel cleanness, the rooms, the pools , and the outdoor facilities!
The second for the food,even it deserves more than one 😅, there are one main restaurant and 5 or 6 sub-resturants, for me I didn't go to any of these 5 restaurants bcz the main buffet at the main restaurant was more than enough! Each day you will have experience from different countries (Turkish, seafood, asian, italian...) all food was good with a high quality 👌,
For thise how are looking for seafood ( salmon, octopus, oysters, and shrimp ) you will enjoy your vacation, yay!
Even there is a section for lactose free food.
I will continue this review by comparing with Rixos premium belek which I had visited twice (2024,2023) within same season, this hotel is known to offer a premium experience but with more price, believe me or not, you will get the same services and even better food with lower money, here the food is more varied, and more items, baklava and turkish delight, Yummy! 😋
Third Wow is for their services and overall environment, 6 bars distributed throughout the hotel serving a high-quality liquor. Some premium brands that are freely served here aren't found at rixo(it needs more charges )
But to be honest, the juices that are used within cocktails aren't as good as rixos,
Heated pool indoor, outdoor, and an aquapark (the last one isn't found in rixos)
The beach is clean and nice. There is pavilion (extra charged).
There were live shows, music bands, and parties in the nightclub at midnight
They gave us a free 10 min massage. It was a nice experience 😌
I recommend this hotel for families.
For me, yes, I will repeat this experience twice and more
Sorry for the long post, but the hotel deserves more than this..!
By the way, I visited this hotel at the end of march 2025.

We are most of the way through our 11 night stay here at Barut Lara and have enjoyed every minute. The hotel and it's facilities are quality, and make put other 5-star equivalent hotels we have stayed in Europe to shame.
Aykut deserves a special mention from the 'Animation Team' - every day he put a big smile on our faces with the entertainment, especially the daily dart competitions. Great lad, who is a big credit to the hotel.
All the staff have been very pleasant and the food has been fantastic....we haven't yet ventured away from the main buffet restaurant as the variety every day has been immense.
Never thought we would plan to head back to a hotel we have stayed in before, but would genuinely consider coming back next year!

🌴 My spouse and I had one of the most special and high-quality vacation experiences we've ever had at Lara Barut Collection. 💫 Everything was thoughtfully planned, sincerely designed, and executed with exceptional professionalism. This wasn’t just a hotel stay — it was a true, top-tier hospitality experience. ☀️🌊
🎧 A huge thank you to the DJ girl who kept the energy alive from start to finish. Her sets elevated the sunset vibes at the beach to the max. The music choices, transitions, and her energy brought every space to life. 🪩💃🌅
🤝 Although Sinan from Reception wasn’t the one who greeted us initially, he upgraded our stay by providing a perfect room. Quiet, spacious, and exactly what we needed — it was the ideal start to our holiday. 🛏️🌟
🧼 Housekeeping (HK) Department – A heartfelt thanks to these often unsung heroes who ensured everything was spotless. ✨ Our room and all public areas were sparkling clean every single day. Fresh towels were replaced daily, beds were perfectly made, and the bathrooms were pristine. The cleanliness significantly enhanced our comfort and satisfaction. 🙌🧽🧺
👔 Karahan Bey (F&B Müdürü) – sadece bir yönetici değil, sıcakkanlı yaklaşımıyla adeta bir abi gibiydi. Onun varlığı oteldeki birçok detayın neden bu kadar kusursuz olduğunu anlamamıza yetti. Hem arka planda organize eden profesyonel bir akıl, hem de ön planda her misafirle sıcak bağ kuran nadir bir yönetici. Otelin ruhunu temsil eden isimlerden biri. 🍽️🤝👏
🍹 Koray (Mayo Beach) – His custom cocktails and respectful, polite approach made every moment by the beach a pleasure. The drink quality was excellent, but his attentive attitude was even more memorable. 🎨🍸
🍷 Yasin Kaya (Bar Chief) – The heart of the bar operation. Everything ran like clockwork thanks to his silent yet strong leadership. 🫡
👔 Teoman & Haluk (Bar Managers) – These two incredible professionals didn’t just manage the team — they set the standard. Their coordination, staff leadership, and attention to guest satisfaction made the bar one of the most consistent and enjoyable parts of the resort. 🍷👏
🍽️ Serkan (Restaurant Bar Chief) – Fast, well-organized, and solution-oriented in the restaurant bar area. His time management and friendly attitude stood out every time. 🍷⏱️😊
🍽️ Chef Harun (Kuyu Restaurant) – That evening wasn’t just dinner; it was a ceremony. The flavors, presentation, and attentiveness combined into an unforgettable dining experience. 👌✨
👨🍳 Chef Baran (Sushi Restaurant) – This name deserves special recognition:
I’ve experienced over 50 sushi restaurants, but the dishes created by Chef Baran were by far the best. The balance of flavors, technical mastery, presentation, and attention to detail... everything was truly top-tier. 🏆🍣
🥂 Ahmet (Bartender) – A true gentleman 👔
His cocktail balance, polite conversation, and high service standards brought even more soul to the resort. 🍹💎
💖 Guest Relations (GR Team) – They were always attentive and helpful. The WhatsApp support was especially efficient and made communication effortless. 💬📱
✨ Enes, Saida, Tuğba, and Fulya – Your patience, solution-oriented approach, and genuine kindness played a key role in making our vacation exceptional.
✨ Sahar and Merve – Your behind-the-scenes coordination, grace, and professionalism made everything run smoothly. 👏🌟
🚫 A note of honest feedback...
The gentleman at the GR desk on the beach unfortunately did not meet the high service standards shown by the rest of the staff. His distant, cold, and disinterested attitude felt out of place in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We hope this feedback leads to positive development. 🌱
💙 A sincere thank you to the entire Lara Barut Collection family.
This trip wasn’t just an escape — it was a reminder of what it means to spend time with truly professional, kind, and high-quality people.
We are already looking forward to choosing this hotel again for our next vacation. 🎒☀️

Overall, we had an incredible time and will definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and fun-filled vacation in Antalya!
