- Walk through the wet and wild water park at the Aska Lara hotel with me.
We stayed here the last 2 weeks of August 2022.
The water park is separate to the hotel as the hotel is on the other side of the road, there is a shuttle bus which picks up every 15 min it’s about 1/2 min on there, the bus has ramps and is wheelchair accessible and easily accessed by pushchairs. If like me you prefer to walk ( the bus is usually very full) then it’s only a 5 min walk at most. There is a crossing over the main road but take care when crossing. You will find a few stray dogs about when you walk these are super friendly my boys fell in love with one , they didn’t hassel you so if you just ignore them they won’t come near you.
You can stay at the park all day there are 2 restaurants with inclusive food, the pool snack bar and the lounge restaurant they serve wraps , burgers , pizza and more.
There is a fresh salad buffet and table service.
You can also get pancakes with cheese or meat my favourite was with the potato they are made fresh to order and delicious. The jacket potato’s are amazing there is cheese , sausage and some salad toppings a few times we got out potato and went to the lounge restaurant for a big salad and tuna to accompany it!
There is a great ice cream selection around 5/6 flavours plus a fridge of ice lollies about 3 varieties of twister lollies the blueberry one is amazing, and some chocolate covered ice lollies plenty to choose from.
There are many branded drinks at the bars which are inclusive but if you don’t specify you will get house brand.
Also in the lounge bar I think you pay but there are phone charging lockers just incase you run out of power.
A couple of downside points for us anyway
❌
People go down really early to reserve sun beds I mean one day we thought we would like to be at the front of the pool my husband went down at 8 and they were all already with towels on and then you’d see the beds still empty at lunch time it’s so annoying we didn’t join the sun bed club we always got a space somewhere when we headed down around 10 but it does get very busy so it is wherever you can get!
❌
Smoking !!! There are no smoking zones it os just everywhere Even around the kids pool , and they are strong cigarettes smoked by people that smoke a lot its an obvious cultural difference, we had go move a few times i appreciate people smoke but this was overload! So if hou dont like to smoke nust watch where you sit in the out door restaurants also. This hotel should really consider some non smoking areas.
❌
A bit of a problem with the splash pad coverd in almething black and very slippery but k would hope this is sorted by now.
I would recommend water shoes or socks for children it is slippery when walking around the park if the floor is wet and its also very hot in August.
We enjoyed our stay here the entertainment is fun , the children loved the slides, food was great , good drinks, very attentive staff . More drinks setvicd around the pool would be good 👌🏼

Thanks for doing that, just struggling to decide on a hotel for April.
👍🏼
Thank you so much for this, really got a good idea of what to expect. Also during your video I was looking out for people smoking, I was thinking to myself, I hope that no one smokes there, then I thought - . No! Surely they would have smoking zones, then I read your description. Ugh that will be annoying. Glad you and your Family had fun. xx
It’s very annoying there were a lot of smokers just choose where you sit carefully 😂
Thank you for this video, we are due to go end of April and this really helps my overthinkers brain to know what is where etc xx
Enjoy 😉
Wow I’ve just got back from my holiday to here and my god the back half near the beach is well different they don’t use the stage near the football anymore and the kids club looks a little different and has just the park and farm house part and the tiny splash park bit ain’t that dirty AT all it was well clean and where the two huts are as ur walking up the path way there’s only one now and one has burned down and I witnessed it
Oh wow 😯 sounds different hopefully different good ? Hope you enjoyed your holiday
I’m going there soon
Hope you have a fab time ✈️
Hi Claire thanks for your very informative and helpful video on the resort and food, which I'm very particular about, couple of questions. Is the food at the beach restaurants included in the all inclusive price or do you need to pay separately? And do you feel there is sufficient entertainment for kids at hotel and beach park? I would be grateful for that information if possible.
Hi all the food at the water park was included there was two restaurants there pool side and one sit in which were both part of all inclusive then there was the jacket potato stand, the crepes, ice cream and a fruit wagon . At the main hotel there was the buffet restaurant, a cafe bar with sandwiches and cakes and the Starbucks which were all part of inclusive. The al la carte restaurants were I think 15€ a head we didn’t use those but obviously it was over a year ago we went so that’s assuming it’s the same x
Excellent video, quick question was there many English families in the hotel? I’ve got a 9 and 7 year old
Hi yes there were lots of English families my boys were 5 and 8 when we went they played football most evenings as loads of kids gathered in the football court and made friends a few times in the pool
Hi what company did you book as I was going to book with love holidays but apparently they don’t put you in the main hotel x
We booked through TUI had a standard family room with a pool view. Yes I’ve seen there is another block to the back of the hotel where some people have stayed so defo look out for that.
Hi, thanks for your video. I am considering this hotel - is the water park open to the public/other hotels too? Or is it just for Aska Lara Resort & Spa?
Thanks x
Hi 👋🏼 no the water park I believe is just for the hotel guests , I think most hotels have their own in that area . There is a security guy checking your bands to enter.
Is there heated pools during winter season or march and april?or cold wayer?thanx
Sorry I have no idea we went in August 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for this...been trying to choose a hotel for weeks! And your video has definitely helped make my decision- much appreciated 👌
You are welcome glad you found it helpful 😊
We’ve just booked for October but I’ve seen really mixed reviews, starting to worry! Would you recommend the hotel?
Obviously we went over a year ago now we had a really good holiday here what things are you worried about I’ll see if I can help answer some of those ?
Can you not pay in Lira?
Hi from memory most things in the hotel are priced up in euro I’m sure you can pay in lira too maybe look into which will give you the best rate
Is there alcoholic drinks at the water park included in the all inclusive also?
Absolutely 👍🏼 pool bar , restaurant and beach bar
How was the weather
We went in August 22 it was great very hot 🥵 but good hot
Please ther is thé cats 🐈⬛😰?? Because I have phobia
Yes I do remember there being some cats within the hotel
Grounds tbh I think every hotel I have stayed in Turkey there have been cats 🐈
