Bayou Villas - Ultra All Inclusive

I booked a villa at Lara Barut, at the Bayou Villas, and it was absolutely amazing. The place was spotless, the food was excellent, and the pool was perfect for the kids. The service was on another level. We live in Dubai, so we’re used to high standards, but this went even beyond that. We had a private butler available via WhatsApp who responded to everything in under a minute. Whether we needed medicine, toys for the kids, or anything else, they took care of it instantly. This was truly a top-tier experience, 10 out of 10. We’re definitely coming back.

This was our fourth stay at bayou villa. We always come back because of the service, the great food and the privacy that the villa provides. We were guests in a two bedroom villa. The villa has access to two swimming pools, one chlorinated and the other saltwater. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

We stayed for six nights in a three bedroom villa at Bayou Villas in April 2025. It exceeded our expectations in every way. It is close enough to the Airport to make transfers no more than 30 minutes, but far away enough not to see or be bother by overhead planes. Our arrival was met personally by the reception team outside and we were immediately taken to our villa by buggy. And what a villa. Large, on three levels, finished to a very high modern standard with sliding glass windows that open to the large terrace and pools. Our three children loved it, swam, played pool downstairs and even asked to use the sauna. The staff throughout our stay were some of the best we have ever encountered on holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone we met greeted us with a smile. The food was delicious, with any changes to dishes we requested no problem at all. We eat in both the Weik Restaurant and in the Villa. Food was delivered very quickly along with drinks. Not all the other restaurants at the larger resort were open, and we probably would have visited the Pizzeria and Burger Bar if they had been. We played tennis and the children loved the water park. A highlight for us was a guided tour of Aspendos and Perge - stunning historic sites that are within an hour of the hotel. April temperatures were perfect for us at mid 20's C during the day. We would happily recommend Bayou Villlas. It is expensive, but the quality of the Villas, the privacy whilst also enjoying the facilities of the larger resort, the service and the all inclusive package, make it a trip we will remember for a long time. Very, very special.

I have been lucky enough to stay at Bayou Villas a few times now and I am never disappointed; my experience improves with each visit, as I discover new and unique services provided to guests. Under the diligent guidance and hard work of Mr Ilhan Korkmaz, Villa Manager, the service and comfort provided from ALL the staff is second to none, nothing is ever too much trouble. For fear of offending, I won’t list the names of the staff on here, in case I miss someone out, but I will be informing Mr Korhan Kelebek, General Manager and Mr Onur Cankaya, Deputy General Manager, the names of the staff who deserve a mention. Oh, and Villa guests have full access to the Barut Lara hotel which is very beautiful, too; it offers a wide range of activities, delicious worldwide cuisine and the staff, as with Bayou Villas, are equally as helpful, charming and efficient. I can’t wait to return to my ‘second home’ in the fullness of time.

An Exceptional Stay From the moment we arrived at Bayou Villas, we were welcomed with warmth and care. Villa Manager Mr. İlhan’s thoughtful touches made us feel incredibly special. Learning about his recent promotion on our first day was the icing on the cake—congratulations, Mr. İlhan! General Manager Mr. Korhan’s genuine kindness and personal attention, along with Deputy General Manager Mr. Onur’s warm presence during Sunday breakfast, truly elevated our experience. A heartfelt thank you to the Weik Restaurant team—Ender, Yusuf, Onur, Metehan, Emine, Mr. Serkan, Mr. Mustafa, Bilal, Osman , Sami , Öznur , Ebru , and Batuhan —for their impeccable service and dedication. Our gratitude also extends to the housekeeping, minibar, and SPA teams, especially the talented Balinese therapists who provided world-class massages. This resort, made unforgettable by its exceptional staff, is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Absolutely world class luxury! The manager Ilhan and his team provide exceptional service and made our stay unforgettable. We were blown away by our villa - from the salt water heated pool and fresh water lagoon for swimming, the sauna/Turkish path/massage room and gym on the lower floor, even the amenity kits in the bathrooms - everything is just world class. The room service was exceptional quality and delicious. The extra touches were so thoughtful, through sticking the fridges in each bedroom with our favorite drinks, through to delivering the most beautiful handmade chocolate selection on Easter - the whole experience from start to finish was just spectacular! Thank you Ilhan and team - we will be back next year!
