lots of excellent reviews on the belcekiz beach hotel in olu deniz. olu deniz is also a lovely resort very scenic.

a lot of people say that there are good all inc in lara area, i personally didnt like it as its not very scenic and not a lot around there but good standard of all incs, so it depends if that bothers you or not

the best hotel we have stayed in is lykia world but this is fb+ so some drinks are included with meals, excellent food, great entertainment, adult only restaurant and pools, and fab views. have a look at its website

good luck

Ok i will give it another shot.Which A/I do you all rate in Lara beach/Side and Belek areas. I am looking at Baia Lara Hotel.

Arum hotel!

Best hotel I have ever been to.

Thank's to the both of you.We are now thinking of leaving Turkey alone after this year and are now looking at going to Santorini or the Sensatori Resort in Crete

I hate hotels but I do have a sneaking affection for the Arum and have stayed there twice, before the latest makeover. Do I remember that Ali Barut has now retired and that his sons now run the company?

I don't know about Ali Barut retiring and the sons running the company - all I know is that it is a fabulous hotel, and I can't wait to be back!
