We've been for the last 3 years and always meet repeat guests. What does that tell you? We've even booked to go back in 2005!
Usually we only try somewhere once but with LW we never seem to tire of it, it's like going home. The staff are often the same as well which means they obviously enjoy it there.
Can't wait til July 2005!!!

me and my family have just come back from our first visit to lykia world and have already booked our holiday there for next year. we had such a great time there, the place was fantastic. we stayed in a village family room which was spacious and clean. the shower was excellent! the air conditioning was great and you could make the room what ever setting you wanted. we hardy left the resort, we never felt the need to do so as there was so many great things to do at lykia world. nearly everything like tennis and archery is free and there are all the water sports you can imagine. there are even things like paragliding there which i never dreamed i would do before i went but having now done it can say it was one of the best expereinces of my life. all the staff there are really friendly and helpful and they all seemed to speak good english.
this is such a good place and i would tell anyone to go there, there is something for everyone. (there is alot of steps though) its easily the best holiday iv had!

Our third time at Lykia World and yet again we had a fantastic holiday. We spent most of our time at the adults only Oasis Pool which is situated on the cliff edge with beautiful views, a lovely peaceful atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff at the bar. We love the Marina Restaurant where even the fussiest eater will find something they like. Our room was lovely, in Patara, very clean and comfortable, definitely 4*. My husband and I spent our honeymoon at a well known All Inclusive resort in St Lucia for which we paid twice the price yet we would choose Lykia World over that every time. Our only, very small, criticism this year was that it was sometimes difficult for our largish party to find a table for dinner despite many of the larger tables only having two people sitting at them. Perhaps they could allocate an area for larger parties only. We will definiely go back next year!!

A fantastic family holiday, living up to the recommendations by numerous friends who had previously visited. We were in adjoining standard rooms in the Residence, giving us 2 of everything (TV,fridge/bar/shower), which meant we were never on top of one another and there was always room to chill out away from the kids occasionally!
We found the restaurants excellent (particularly the Marina) the pool areas all superb, giving you the choice of a noisy day at the Paradise, or a quieter day at the other hotel pools. Lykia World's slightly remote location sometimes means you can feel a bit trapped, but a visit and dinner in Olu Deniz or Hisaronu every few days cures that.
One small tip - if you want to go to Fethiye, the Lykia World taxis will almost match the cost of taxi/bus or tour operator options, so if you fancy being more in control of your day/evening without added cost, do ask the taxi drivers for a quote.
Overall, a fabulous holiday, and one we intend to repeat in the next few years.

I would recommend Lykia World but feel the need to advise 1st timers of the problems we encountered.
We stayed in the village but I thought I had booked an interconnecting room which I checked with Thomas Cook before the holiday. We ended up with a family room which had two beds (which were two couches made up as beds although totally adequate) in one room and a double bed with couch made up in the other room. I went to get it changed but was told I couldn't do as fully booked and was in the room the operators had booked. There were other families with the same complaint, in rooms differing from that which they thought they had booked. The most complaints came from people booked in Garden Rooms.
To overcome this we turned the beds around and there was enough room for the three girls to sleep together.
After the initial dissapointment, the room itself was excellent with plenty of room for the 5 of us, walk in wardrobe, and a walk in shower.
I would say the kids clubs did need some attention. OK for older children who did not need so much supervision. But my 3 year old twins would not stay in clubs. The English speaking staff were not good enough for the youngsters, and there were not enough of them. They also spent much of the time sorting out equipment for the activity which they should have had prepared (In my opinion).
That said I would definitely go back when the children are older the place has alot to offer with plenty for the children to do in and out of the clubs.
I would agree with most of the other reports about the food being good with alot of variety.
Beach not so good for youngsters, but you don't really need it as they have a small man made beach pool for the little ones.

The hotel i stayed in was wonderful the staffwas welcoming andever so friendly and helpful and the hotel was ever so clean, shame about the location of the hotel though...miles awy from anywhee and the taxi prices were diabolical.
The fod an entertainment made upfr it though there was something to do everthour ofthe ay from rock climbing to wind surfine.
And the foo was aso wonderful with a diferent theme every night... tex-mex(mexican, fish ect.
I will pass Lykia world onto all my friends and family because it as the best holiday i have ever been on!
Bu if you dont like children say well away as the hote is mainly aimed at children and families with children as does get a little bit loudat some points in the daybut overall Lykia World is fantastic!!

Ditto other reports just wanted to mention Safety for the kids!
I was playing pool with my son next to a very large glass window , and yes, the thick end of the que went through the glass accidentily, it was not safety glass and it cracked and shattered everywhere.
He was very lucky and was not hurt although his shirt was was torn slightly. The management wanted half of the cost of replaceing the glass but we refused to pay it did spoil our holiday slightly as discussions went on for several day afterwards.

Lykia World is exellent in every way. As with many All inclusives, the location is out of town and you need to get taxis to the nearest shops so we felt a little isolated.
Evening entertainment was "European" everything is repeated in 3 or 4 languages and can become tiresome after a few nights.
SAFETY was an issue when my supervised son accidently smashed a large glass window in the games room whilst playing pool. The glass broke all around him and cut his sweat shirt. It could have been a great deal worse.
The management were concerned for his health but when they saw he was ok they wanted

We had an excellent holiday in Lykia world, and would love to go back there. We stayed in the Residence, which was fully deserving of 5 stars, as was the food, service, and the resort in general.
The only people I would not recommend a holiday here to is those with mobility problems or very small children, as Lykia World is situated literally on the side of a mountain, and as others have pointed out, it is not very disabled-friendly.
There are no lifts to any of the restaurants, and they all have to be accessed either up steps, a ramp or a very steep incline; as do the toilets. Fine perhaps if you are in a motorised buggy, but hard work if you are pushing a pram or a wheelchair or carrying small children.
Although there is a mini bus service which goes around the site fairly regularly, be warned that it stops at 7pm.
