Adalya Elite Lara Hotel - All Inclusive

Fabulous hotel, with excellent facilities. We stayed early November and the hotel was surprisingly busy. Unfortunately this did impact on the restaurants being very very busy, with waiting staff struggling to cope to clear tables from departing guests, so meal times were a little disappointing, particularly as all the A la carte restaurants were all fully booked! We eventually managed one night in the Italian restaurant and it was excellent, six courses no less! The hotel wine choice is also somewhat disappointing, being a very cheap Turkish wine called Biricik. On the up side there is plenty of room for everyone, everywhere else! Pool side, beach, lounges, bar areas, all good! Although each room does have an independent air con system, it is actually only available during 'high season' and the rest of the time is centrally controlled. Our room was unbearably warm and on enquiring at reception we were advised that the temperature could not be changed. For us, that was another 'small' problem. Please be aware that the taxi drivers across from the hotel do not use their meters, unless you specifically ask, and (over) charge in euros!! Both practices are actually illegal in Turkey! So insist on the meter being on, and paying in lira. It will be MUCH cheaper. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. :)
