Mediterranean Coast Romantic 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.

The best part about the property are the staff who will go above and beyond to help you out. Special thanks to the guest services lady on the night shift, Suleyman at Vista & Ivy and Mehmet in Le Buffet for their thoughtful service. The property is vast, has a private beach and is well maintained. The main thing that did not work is that there is only one restaurant that is included as part of the all-inclusive package. This is the buffet restaurant. All À la carte restaurants are paid. However, the buffet timings are quite restrictive. For instance, dinner is only available from 6:30 ion-9pm, which is very limited for an all-inclusive resort, considering that it is the only main dining option. If you miss your meal at 9 PM, then the next option for you would be to either go to one of the paid à la carte restaurants (paid), the pastry bar, or wait for the midnight buffet at 12 AM, which does not work for most people. The lunch hours are from 12:30 to 2:30 in the afternoon which also seems tight. Overall, my main recommendation to the hotel would be to extend its dining hours in the buffet restaurant considerIng it is the only main dining option. Secondly, for anyone who needs a cool room with working air condition, I would highly recommend either booking a landside room or a full Seaview room, at the lower floors, preferably between 3 and 5 if you want a working air conditioner. I would avoid all partial sea facing rooms, especially those on floors 6,7 as these get very hot.

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!

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!

Good balance between area size, sea proximity, services, maintenance and price - excellent value. Areas for improvement: - There were some small sharp metal objects in the sand on the beach - rare, but dangerous. It might help to use metal detector during maintenance. - Dining options are great. However, there might be a breakfast option for these arriving/leaving between 2am and 7am.
