Hello everyone,
I’m looking for advice please or extra info around Lara Barut, Antalya. I booked this hotel at the weekend for an end of May holiday. It’ll be me and the hubby, plus our 9 year old son.
I’d done some research and read reviews - and was super excited and pleased with my choice, until….. I saw some reviews mentioning restrictions on the slides and games and it’s now sounding like my son won’t be able to do much!
I’d love some views from anyone who has been with a similar-aged child and did they enjoy it? Was there enough for them to do?
And if anyone can answer the following, I’d really appreciate it…
- the slides seem to mostly have either 35kg as a minimum weight restriction (my boy is only 30kg) or even a 50kg and 60kg min weight. There are smaller slides but how have your children found them? There’s only the 3 smaller ones and look more suited to 4/5 year olds
- the pool games for kids - I’ve seen these are for 13+ only, are there any for younger kids?
- pool, darts, football table etc - again, I’ve read they are in the teen room and 13+, is that right?
- What daily activities do they put on for the 8-12 age group in the kids club?
- What is the football area like? I’ve read one review saying it’s big enough for a 5 a side game, another say it’s tiny.
With it sounding like my son won’t be able to go on the slides, or join in pool games, or use the indoor sports games I’m worried he’ll be disappointed and bored. Although the hotel gets such great reviews so I’m hoping some of the above is wrong. My son is sporty and won’t be interested in the food and crafting activities LB mention on their website.
I’m debating cancelling and looking at other options. The food and luxury at LB looks ideal - but we’ll only get to enjoy that if our boy is entertained.
Any help would be great!
