Raw Beach Hotel

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights with my sisters and it was beautiful. The view was amazing, you only get a garden view from your hotel room but if you walk two minutes towards the restaurant where you have your breakfast, the view is just beautiful. The breakfast was really nice and the service was good. Nice people working at the restaurant and at the hotel itself. The rooms and bathroom are a bit small but it was okay. You’d also have to request for the iron to be brought to your room every time you need it but they would get it to you really quickly. It would get a bit loud due to the hotel being near the airport but it was very rare you would hear the plane, I didn’t notice it at all. There are cats and dogs walking around freely around the hotel and restaurant so if you are afraid or allergic I would keep that in mind. The sunbeds for the beach are all free for the people staying at the hotel which was nice and the beach itself was beautiful and clean. I had an amazing time!

Stayed here from May 8–10. The hotel is conveniently close to Lara Beach and Antalya Airport, but quite far from Antalya Bus Station and main tourist spots like Kaleici Old Town and the Bazaar, it takes around 45–55 minutes each way by Uber. The stay overall was nice, but there are a few things to note: you'll hear airplane noise due to the proximity to the airport, and sound from neighboring rooms can be heard easily, so it might not be ideal for light sleepers. The hot water setting in the shower wasn't working during my stay. Shoutout to Beyhan, she was kind and accommodating. I arrived early, and she allowed me to wait and have breakfast at the Red & White indoor restaurant before check-in (which starts at 9:30 AM). Appreciate the hospitality!

Pros: Vibe. Beach is good. Cons: 1. Unlike the photo they posted on website, no one was in reception when we arrived. They only left a paper with Whatsapp number and you need to find the staff by yourself. Turned out they use one of the room as reception. 2. No elevator. But there are only 2 floors so it's acceptable 3. Stains on table. Faucet is rusty. Strong smell of sewage is everywhere in the room. 4. No door chain to lock. No sign with wording "please clean the room/do not disturb" for using. Cleaning lady opened the door when I was changing the clothes without knocking. No safety at all. 5. No drinking water for the second night. 6. Wifi is crap. Totally unstable. You can connect to it only by chance. Wifi is available only in hotel building. No wifi neither in restaurant or on the beach. 7. Location is awful. Need to walk 20 mins to find a grocery store. The way to the store is dark and scary at night. If you don't want to go out, you can have only overpriced drinks/food in the restaurant. There is no grocery store/shop in hotel either. If you don't have a car I strongly suggest you NOT TO COME. 8. There is no any facility in this hotel except for restaurants. The funniest thing is that they closed the indoor one in summer. You have no choice but sit at outdoor restaurent with temperature more than 40°C. No fan, no air conditioner. In general we were disappointed. The photos they posted look nice. But you can feel that they tried to save budget for maintenance. For 2 people we spent 170 euro per night, which is totally overpriced for such quality.
