Titanic Hotels

Titanic Beach Lara

Titanic Beach Lara is the ship-shaped family all-inclusive on Lara Beach, for parents who want the aquapark, the beach and a short transfer. It is priced under the Belek palaces, it is about 15 minutes from Antalya's airport on the sand east of the city, and it is big: 586 rooms and a pool complex built for high summer. The city is a short ride away, which is more than Belek can say, and it rarely gets used. Guests praise the pools and aquapark, the beach and the facilities for children, with a kids' club for ages four to twelve. The complaints are the a la carte charges, the crowds in peak season and the Wi-Fi, which is free and not always reliable. The thing people wish they had known is the first of those: the plan is marketed as ultra all-inclusive, and the four a la carte restaurants still bill a cover, often around 45 euros, or allow one dinner at Pascarella per seven nights on some Plus cards. The plan covers the Parkfora buffet and the snack venues, local and selected imported drinks, and the kids' club; the a la cartes, the spa and hammam, premium spirits, the motorised water sports and the transfer are extra, and room service is a night snack rather than a menu. Budget the a la carte covers or stay on the buffet, ask for a king bed because many rooms have French beds, and remember the indoor pool is the shoulder-season win. Couples after quiet should look at the adults-only resorts along the same coast.
