This was an opportunity to get some rest and relaxation with some winter sun and the Labranda Golden Beach, did not disappoint. The hotel, just an hour and a half from the airport had a modern feel and was very clean. we had an option to upgrade our room, on arrival, to a sea view, which I highly recommend. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with lots of hanger space. The bathroom was again very clean and had a modern deluge and hand shower combo within the floor-level infinity walk-in shower cubicle, which was superb. The balcony was private, with a splendid view of both the pool and the sea. The dining area was spacious and the food plentiful and fresh, with multiple options. We travelled on an all-inclusive package and it didn't disappoint. There were plenty of drink options in the dining area including Amstell Lager, house wines white, red or rose soft drink dispensers and ground coffee machines. These were available at all meal times. The pool was excellent for both swimming and paddling, whatever your preference, if not a little cold in January, but once you're in, no problem. The poolside bar offered drinks and snacks throughout the day with recyclable multi-use plastic beakers were ideal. A brisk walk, via a rear pathway, took you to the shops or within a third of a mile, to the beach. The walk to the beach is pleasant but downhill, so prepare for a climb back to the hotel. As a runner, I made my way to run along the beach, daily, and was pleased to see it busy during the early morning, both fellow runners, beach walkers and also a few sessions of beach yoga. The beach was fantastic with toilet and washing facilities and a few beach taverns, ideally located. Due to the off-peak time of our visit, entertainment wasn't great, neither at the hotel nor at the resort, but it didn't dampen our holiday objectives. There was entertainment at the hotel bar, but this was limited to single acts, that started late and finished quite early. There is a well-appointed gym, but I decided not to use it, in favour of my daily beach runs. A special mention must go to the hotel staff. From check-in to restaurant and bar service to the cleaners, all welcoming and were very helpful. My partner has mobility issues and the support we received to make our stay comfortable was exceptional, even putting a sun lounger on the balcony, to restrict the need to walk to the poolside loungers as often as would otherwise have been needed. All in all an excellent hotel that met our needs perfectly. We certainly had the holiday blues on our return and look forward to returning someday soon.
