So reading all the mixed reviews we didn't know what to expect we where very pleasantly surprised,our room was very spacious with sofa and decent size bed fully stocked fridge,the dinning area had plenty of space also have a kid's area,the staff are amazing get your drinks they will accommodate if you have any dietary requirements,the wet and wild is a 2min bus ride away buses come every few minutes,the hotel have a steem room sauna,hamam as part of the hotel you can book additional massage which where amazing and reasonably priced,in the evening they have entertainment or you can go to watch a movie in the cinema,the night club is open at 11pm if you're a night owl there's so many different lounge areas if you want to get a coffee and relax so to sum up we will definitely coming back with the rest of family if you're planning to come to this hotel you will definitely enjoy your stay,happy holidays.....

We booked to stay here on a Jet2 Holidays package, due to the price and all-inclusive facilities. We have never been interested in all-inclusive previously, but all the nearby hotels were the same and the price was too tempting to ignore. A bellboy brought our luggage in from our transfer whilst we were seated in the reception area and given a booking-in form to complete (so much better than standing in a queue). Once we were booked in we gave the bellboy our room numbers and he brought our luggage up for us. We were in room 1723, on the top (7th) floor, with a west-facing balcony overlooking the gardens. The room was amazingly clean, with plenty of storage space, a chaise and complimentary beer, water and soft drinks in the mini fridge. The marble laden bathroom, with a double width walk-in shower, was just fantastic too. The catering was amazingly fresh, with an absolutely vast choice of food available pretty much all day long; if you couldn't find something you liked here then you're not going to find it anywhere - drinks were very good also. My only criticism was that some food had no identification labels and some had no vegetarian symbol so I was unsure if they had meat products added and avoided them (I almost missed out on a beautiful creamed spinach had there not been a chef nearby to ask what it was). This needs to be reviewed, or the vegetarian food needs to be displayed in a separate 'vegetarian food only' area so diners can be sure of exactly what they are getting. We didn't get round to using the sauna suite or the spa and soon grew tired of being asked if we wanted to book a massage every time we were in this area. There was an indoor pool, which was usually full of families, and the outdoor pool wasn't heated so we went to the beach instead, there was a complimentary bus transfer between the hotel and water splash park, but we didn't use this as it was only a 7'ish minute walk. The beach area was brilliant, but it seemed really weird swimming in the sea and laying on the beach in the sun in mid-November. We were still able to visit the all-inclusive beach bar for drinks and snack bar for pizza, pasta, salad etc. in the water splash park, despite the fact that they were winding down for the winter season. Every member of staff we met were a real credit to the hotel - nothing was too much trouble for them. I'd definitely return to Aska Lara.

Hotel is amazing staff lovely, was made to feel like VIP from Emrah barman in the bar from the waterpark top man, made me feel like I was at home will definitely come again!!! This man need a promotion, doesn’t harass you like the locals look forward to coming again
