Lavia Hotels Lara

I have been 2 times in this hotel, they improved a lot since last year, they renovated the hotel, bringing a new face.
Also restaurant was 99% improved, with a lot of fresh variety every day, everything is included in this hotel, also coffee, water and soft drinks the whole day.
Pool are nice, good spot to rest, I liked the improvement with new machines in the gym, but the air conditioning must be changed as it doesn’t support the hot weather in Antalya, you can’t breath inside.
Things to improve: Cleaning, they clean very bad the rooms, if they pass in the morning if you are slepping the don’t return to see if you need clean later on.
Walls: looks like paper, you can hear everything.

Very nice hotel for a decent price, The staff's service was top-notch, consistently going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. From the warm welcome at check-in to the prompt and attentive room service, every interaction left me feeling valued and well-cared for. The hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction was evident in every aspect of my stay. I can confidently recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Definitely not a 5-star hotel by European standards, I would rather put this in the 3-4-star category. My review is through a 3-star "lense".
Rooms - the room was clean and decently furnished. I had the impression that Turkish building code must be very different to what I am used to in that overall build quality is very low, one of the most striking manifestation of which is the almost complete lack of sound proofing. Expect to hear all your neighbors' conversations, all corridor talks, anyone flushing or taking a shower on any floor above you. Also, if there happens to be a party outdoor, you can expect to hear everything even with closed windows. Poor build quality is obvious across the board. The room had air conditioning, but when I turned it on it almost blew no air and made a funny noise, so I checked the filters and they were completely clogged with dirt which I cleaned in 3 minutes and that fixed the problem. Maintenance should pay attention to this. The beds were comfortable.
Service - this is where I have little to complaint about. Staff are very friendly and always helpful. Breakfasts & dinners are buffet style with plenty of choices, many of which are freshly cooked. I really enjoyed the salad options, there was a bit of a short selection of fruits. I enjoyed all meals. One thing I would note is that the red wine in the bar was one of the worst I've tasted, probably not worth paying the bit steep price for it.
Location - it's about 7-8 minutes walk from the beach, but the walk there is really disappointing through a dirty back road. Also, directly in front of and behind the hotel there is what looks like lands of skip, litter and thicket, very unappealing and sometime smelly and I'm surprised the hotel doesn't pay more attention to their surroundings, even if the land is not owned by them. It takes approx. 15-20 minutes by taxi to get to the waterfall and about 45 minutes (in good traffic) to get to Antalya old town, so it's definitely not easy access. There is a bus line which I believe takes approx. 1 hour.
Quirks - just like everywhere in Turkey, the hotel has their own army of cats, all of them seem to be happy and healthy, and they free roam the property. Bear this in mind if you are not a cat person (I am :)). Outside the hotel there are packs of very large dogs, but all of the seemed docile
