Latanya Park Resort

English family that have just left the resort and have extremely mixed feelings, I wouldn’t say it’s the worst but unfortunately wouldn’t be returning. Firstly I would like to say that if it wasn’t for the entertainment staff Pablo Eddie and Hugo the hotel would be a shambles they are really what make the hotel and your stay worth it, they work long hours and are always really happy and chatty although limited English they really try to have conversations and make sure your happy cannot give them enough praise, they have music playing allday by the pool from 10am -5pm and have activities throughout. There is one waiter who also goes above and beyond and is so lovely his name is Sabit and again couldn’t praise him enough for making our stay memorable, the rest of the staff we found quite rude and although it advertises English is spoken in the hotel it is very few and a lot of the waiting staff/ reception didn’t understand us and was extremely hard to communicate at times. The layout of the hotel is really nice it’s all on one level, beachfront location, enough beds on the beach for everyone never worried about finding a space to relax and was well maintained as was the pool area and all outside space. There are limited beds around the pool and all under a shaded canopy so if you want to sunbathe it’s quite hard but can be done. The rooms are very basic and dull definitely need upgrading as the rest of the hotel appearance is so lovely I wouldn’t say the rooms are a 4* at all, saying that we don’t really come on holiday to sit in the room so wasn’t that bothered, unfortunately at the beginning of our holiday we had a few problems with our room the shower was broken the toilet wouldn’t flush the aircon didn’t work in the whole hotel, lifts didn’t work, and it was a struggle with the language barrier for them to understand but with help from our tour organiser we managed to get it sorted and we changed rooms. We stayed in the buildings outside the main building which I’ve heard are much better so if you can try get a room in the main building I’d say do so. There is a shop in the hotel which isn’t too expensive but also a shop and chemist across from the hotel also. The food was in our opinion definitely not what we’d expect for a 4* resort. Breakfast was okay - they made fresh waffles pancakes and eggs/ omelet and toasties, selection of breads jams and biscuits, cereal. Lunch - we never went to the buffet for lunch we always used the snack bar which is behind the pool bar and is a la carte there is no need to book just turn up and order what you’d like they have burgers pizzas nuggets kebabs etc, dinner- Most of the food was grilled vegetables and the odd meat option, rice, Turkish bread, salad, soups, we didn’t really eat much at dinner and there definitely isn’t options for fussy children I’ve stayed in many resorts in Turkey that at least offer nuggets plain spaghetti etc for a children menu at dinner but there isn’t one here. There is
