Laren Sea Side Hotel Spa

I stayed at this accommodation as part of my dental package. I chose this hotel as it seemed the best out of the options I was given to choose from. Big mistake! The website of this place is VERY misleading. I was quite shocked when my driver pulled outside the entrance. First appearance is everything and I was so disappointed with what I walked into. I stayed in room 304 and was then moved to room 208 after 2 days, this was due to my complaint about the bathroom only having one out of three lights working. The staff barely spoke english, the 'breakfast' was poor, the smell of cooked food was pungent throughout the entire property. The pool area was pathetic. I dared not to go out there with my bathing clothes as I felt the staff (all male except one female) would be ogling me! I met a couple who also in Antalya for dental treatment. They we're staying in another (5 star) hotel. We bonded fairly quickly, they invited over to their hotel to sunbathe, swim when I had down time, which was a God send. Another traveller staying at Laren Seaside said this will be her first and last time staying at this accommodation, she too as well as a family of four had several complaints - one specifically about the overhead shower becoming loose and just missing the head of the husband, he told me it happened on day one, four days in and it was just sitting on the side of the shower cubicle. Despite bringing it to the attention of the hotel, nothing was done!!! Avoid if you can!
