Mediterranean Coast Beach Holidays

We love this hotel, hence our return again this year. The sparkle, glitz & the glamour, the warm welcome & friendliness of the staff, the large, comfortable room with great views towards Duden waterfall, vast choice of food, the entertainment & great amenities.

From start to finish the holiday was absolutely amazing, something to keep everyone happy, lots of food choice - omg don’t think I’ve seen so much choice and some delicious authentic dishes alongside the usual buffet staples, always a coffee shop open for coffee, cake, ice cream or waffles, always a restaurant open from the many that there was on site and a choice of 12+ pools. Above all the staff in every capacity was simply brilliant and couldn’t do enough, always served with a smile and happy to chat, have stayed in many 5 stars but this is as good as any, well done everyone at Sherwood Exclusive Lara!

Lovely and kind staff! My kids loved every minute at the pool and beach. The main restaurant had a lot of variety and very fresh foods! It was way too noisy, Which made it difficult to relax while eating a meal. We tried an a la carte restaurant and that was delicious food as well as a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Thank you!

The resort itself is amazing. Staff is great too! But here comes the issues - extremely loud environment, unruly children running around(I have a 6 year old boy, but he has never been allowed to act like all other children), no adult supervision until early morning hours, security doesn’t do anything, parents don’t care! The parents drink until 3 am and shout, not talk in the common areas. The disco music is extremely loud, windows and walls are thin! And around 3 am when you think that you can get sleep the cleaning crew starts moving tables and the sound is horrible! Air conditioning is set to 23 C and you can’t adjust it lower. It’s monitored and managed by guest relations. Get a higher floor room not over pool to avoid the disturbance. The food is so so. Don’t even waste your time with the A La Cart restaurants especially the Asian one - you will be waiting for something that has nothing to do with sushi or Mongolian beef, tasteless small portions. You are better off eating at the Sunset main buffet style restaurant. Variety is ok. The other good restaurant is the 24/7 one in the end of the resort Waterworld. Coffee shop and patisserie’s are good. The beach is so so - has some rocks in the beginning and sand afterwards. Very small! The pool facilities are great - they get very crowded and people are keeping sun lounges from 8 am with their towels. The best part of our trip was the spa center - amazing massage options and facials. Old town Side is a must visit!

On the day of departure, my rental vehicle had a flat tire. Faruk, main valet person in the morning, was very helpful. He called AVIS roadside service and helped arrange the tire repair. He helped to the end. Overall staffs were very friendly and helpful. Location in Lara Park is convenient and easy to walk to many restaurants. I would stay again!
