If you want a perfect wedding, look no further than this hotel. We stayed here from 17th June-1st July 2014, with 17 family & friends joining us for our wedding. My partner & I had stayed here last October. From the minute we walked into the hotel, we were treated like returning family. I cannot thank every member of staff enough for everything that was done to make our wedding & our holiday a time we will never forget. I must say a special thank you to a few people whose kindness, friendship & unbelievable work amazed us. Mustapha & Parna in Guest Relations, nothing was too much trouble & they never said 'NO' to anything. Ali Bey (hotel manager), amazing attention to detail. Servet (restaurant manager), simply couldn't do enough for us. Kerry (Thomson rep), the best Thomson has. Rachel (wedding co-ordinator), again, amazing attention to detail. Our favourite waiter Mehmet Ali, thank you so much for everything, remembered us from last year, always smiling, & worked so hard to look after us all. Osman & Mustafa on the pier. The Cabana's are a must, fantastic VIP days. And Umit (F&B manager), thanks for everything. (hope your knee is better). And Emre the hotel photographer, absolutely stunning wedding photos. There are so many staff I want to mention, I could go on & on for hours. I have travelled to many countries & stayed in many hotels, but I have never come across a hotel before where ALL the staff were 'Simply the Best'. They are a credit to the hotel. The wedding ceremony on the pier was like a fairy tale. Followed by dinner on a beautifully decorated bridge over the silence pool, then VIP night at the Sunset Bar. The food in the main restaurant is fantastic. As are the Pizza's in the Yoruk tent, the lunch time snacks in the Sunset Bar, Pasta at the Silence Bar. Not forgetting mid afternoon cakes & ice creams, & the water melon that just appears when you are lounging by the pool, superb! We ate at 2 Al-a-Carte restaurants, Italian & Turkish barbeque, both top quality & well worth a visit. Entertainment staff brilliant, very friendly & work so hard. Evening entertainment excellent. We didn't have any trouble getting sunbeds for all 19 of us together. I Would definately recommend this hotel. We have already booked to return next June & cannot wait to return. Thank you again to all at Liberty Hotel, Lara for everything you did for us. See you next year.

Our wedding day was awesome! I can highly recommend getting married at this hotel. We previously stayed at this hotel in October 2013 and returned 17/06/14-01/07/14 to get married. We got married on the pier on 21st June. There were 19 of us in our party. We were all treated like royalty for the whole time we were there. The Thomson Rep, Kerry, and the Thomson Wedding co-ordinator, Rachel, worked closely with Mustapha (Guest Relations), Servet (Restaurant Manager) and the Hotel Manager Ali Bey to ensure our wedding was the best ever! They planned everything last thing. We had a nightmare with the Wedding Team in the UK and getting the affidavit but as soon as we had our 1st wedding meeting at the hotel all our worries went! They not only made our wedding day perfect, they made our whole holiday brilliant. Thank you! Also thank you to Umit for coming to see us on our wedding day. I would highly recommend the hotel's photographer, Emre, he was brilliant and so are the photos and the dvd we got with the Diamond package. The ceremony was on the pier and the hotel staff decorated it beautifully and we took a usb memory stick with our music on and the DJ played our music on the pier (and later in the Sunset Bar for our 1st dance). We chose to have our wedding meal on the bridge over the silence pool (although you can have the al-a-carte for a fee) as we preferred the variety of the food in Jasmines. We then had the VIP Disco package for the night We were escorted to the registrars office and medical centre (a couple of days prior to the ceremony) by Mustapha and he dealt with all the paperwork for us. The trip took 2 hours and he gave a good tour of Turkey there & back. On the day after the ceremony the lovely registrar gives you a red marriage book and the hotel staff went back to the registrars office to get us the Formula B, saving us another trip. The hotel; There are plenty of sunbeds and we managed to find 19 sunbeds together everyday. There is plenty of places to eat with lots of choice (even a fussy eater like myself will find something to eat) We also eat in the Italian al-a-carte & the Turkish BBQ. You can eat in Jasmines (main restaurant) for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Or you can have pasta for lunch freshly cooked for you at the Silence Bar or you can have a burger & chips for lunch in the Sunset Bar or chicken in the snack bar next to the Sunset Bar or (my favourite) a pizza freshly cooked anytime between 1100-1600hrs. Then you can get ice creams and cakes in the afternoon. Be warned, you will put on weight! If you really haven't managed to eat enough all day then you can have more food again btw 2300-0000 in Jasmines. Local alcoholic drinks are included until midnight. The waiters are friendly, all the staff cannot do enough for you. The pools are great! The sea is fantastic and can be accessed from the pier as well as from the beach. I recommend getting a Cabana on the pier as you will be looked after all day by Osman or Mustafa. We would especially like to thank Mehmit Ali & Fatih who looked after us on our wedding day and the rest of the holiday and to Nivarna who ran around getting us drinks in the silence bar every evening. Thanks to the lovely man in the Yurek Tent who made me a freshly cooked pizza with pineapple every lunch time. There are so many people to thank for our special day and wonderful holiday. Osman & Mustafa on the pier are stars! We have already booked to return next June (for our 1st anniversary) Everyone at this hotel are so friendly & seem to be happy in their jobs and Parna at Guest Relations is like a friend!
