When you get to this hotel it is fabulous but you will have a bit of a journey from the airport and after we had been delayed by over 2 hrs, our neice (age 7) was completely worn out - that said, so were we!!

Checking in was painless but our room was on the outskirts of the hotel overlooking some waste land and a smelly brook that flowed down to the sea so we couldn't sunbath on it and I gave up even trying to read my book because of the flies.

The hotel itself had great facilities -loads of different pools and you were never left without a bed (leaving towels is not allowed!)

There are two large restaurants offering a good choice of food but not excellent. Although there are some snack bars where you can get the best pizza in the world!

All inclusive ends at 11pm, you will have to pay for items in your mini bar and ice cream for the children is only available between 1pm and 2pm and when you get there, what you get isn't worth waiting for. We ended up paying for icecreams from around the pools. We ended up spending just under £100 for additional bits that I feel should have been included in the price.

If you are considering playing tennis, pool etc make sure you take plenty of money. A game of pool costs £2.50 and you will need to leave a deposit of £50 for the rackets and balls in addition to the £9.00 charge.

Water is difficult to get on the AI! There are small machines within the restaurants that always have a que and the cups are tiny. I ended up buying bottles of water and then trying to fill them up from the machine but others frown on this when they are queing. Even during meal times they will charge for orange juice, some deserts etc!

The pools are great and you will have a different day at each of them. They all have life guards apart from meal times when all of the waterslides around the hotel are turned off.

The kids club was brilliant!! the team there were very friendly and the mini disco was lovely to watch (our niece loved it).

Entertainment is average. The paid acts were good but the entertainment team nights were hit and miss - they have a completely different sense of homour. They have Mondays off!

The entertainment staff will try to be your best friend which I thought was nice at first but then realised that they have so many things to sell to you that their friendship is completely false.

The Aqua park was great - loads to do for the kids and only a little walk from the hotel. I would suggest going a little later than the 10am opening time becuase they always seem to be late and you will only que to get into a park where there are loads of beds!!!!

All in all a great holiday for our niece but I don't think we woud go back.

“BRILLIANT HOLIDAY”

Aqua Fantasy Hotel & Aquapark

Jul 1, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We arrived at the hotel at 4am porters were waiting to take our bags to our room.Food was ready for us,which was a full set up not just a snack.We got a lovely room looking over the gardens ,main pool with a nice view of the beach and sea.As others have said they do ask people not to put towels on loungers we tried to stick to the rules and couldn't get one so we ended up doing what the others did.We spent most of our time around the adult only pool no children and a pool bar.lots of pools on the park.The unlimited access to the water park is a bonus and we went in most mornings when it got busy we went back to the pool.650 people run the hotel and they do a fanastic job.Now for the annoying bits.The shuttle bus only goes to the city first thing in the morning you have to get yourself back.there is lots of dolmus (minibus)but you have to jump out in from of one and hope it's the right one and it can stop,and they pack as many people on as possible very close contact so we took taxi back every time £10 for 8km.Germans refuse to que and just barge in very annoying.I noticed that if there was trouble with children they were british which lets this country down and some people spent 2 weeks complaining (why go if that's all they want to do)The evening entertainment was not at all suitable for children and I must say if I had children at the park I wouldn't have let them watch it then complain.Food was very good lots to choose from.We read evening dress code for evening so took evening wear but all they say is no swim wear in restaurants so no need to fill your cases like we did.Go very liht and buy bargains out there.Armed guards patrol the park which at first is a bit scary but they are friendly and you soon get used to it.No cash is used on site wen you get your room keys you get a credit card and that is swipped when you buy something at the end of your stay you get a bill (KEEP THE MINI BAR CLOSED IT'S NOT FREE)They do have a lot of extra's they try to charge for but be vigillant and watch for it and it's ok.Waiters are in at 6am and leave at 10pm a very long day. staff on average get equivilant to £7 a day so a thank you and a tip is very much apreciated and will ensure you get priority treatment.A very nice waiter is CETINE he showed us to our table pulled out our chairs fetched our drinks made eating much nicer.This hotel seems to put british first and germans second which is very unusual but good.

“Aqua Fantasy=brilliant!!!”

Aqua Fantasy Hotel & Aquapark

5 of 5 stars

2/3 found this review helpful

Me and my boyfriend have just got back from spending 2 weeks at Aqua Fantasy in Kusadasi, Turkey.

It was fantastic, everything we were looking for in a Holiday, and we are planning to go back next year.

The transfer time from Bodrum airport wasnt as long as First Choice said, only 2 hours instead of 2hours 45mins. We arrived at 4am local time. They were ready to take our suitcases staight to our rooms and let us go to the restaurant where they had breakfast waiting for us!!

The room was alot bigger then we expected. It had one double bed, one single bed, and a sofa bed. It was the perfect size for a couple but maybe a bit small for a family. Our view was of the gardens, and we could also see the main pool.

The food was really nice, with a big choice of dishes at every meal time, enough to fill a plate of even the fussiest of eaters!

The pools were all nice, the only thing that annoyed us is that the hotel asks guests not to put towels down on sunbeds to save them...clearly no-one listened. If you didnt get down to one of the pools by at least 9.30am there wouldnt be any left, and most of the time people would leave towels down and then never come back!!! We spent most of our time at the adult pool because there was always sunbeds, whatever time of day, and it was a nice break away from screaming kids and the music which blasted out of the main pool at 10am and didnt stop all day!!! If you dont mind Justin timberlake and stuff like that it wont annoy you!

The Aqua Park was a lot of fun, not as big as the hotel makes out, but still amazing considering you dont have to pay for it. My boyfriend and i both agreed the hotel would still be fantastic even without the waterpark!

The entertainment team were fantastic, they were really upbeat all the time, really good with the kids, and made you feel like you were part of a big family. Every night they had something different in different bars so you had a good choice. The pearl bar had things like Love Songs, Bingo, Play your cards right, etc.
The Ampitheatre was amazing. we were really impressed with the shows they did on there. They had things like Greece, Shreck, Turkey night and Pirates of the carrabian. Great for the kids and Adults. The beach bar did things like beach parties, where they would have a bonfire, fireworks and games on the beach where you could win t-shirts and cocktails!!

All Inclusive - Ok, i saw on here before i left that alot of people were complaining about it ending at 11. We didnt have a problem with that at all. at about 10.30 we went to the bar and got enough drinks to last us and we were fine. They put so much vodka in the drinks that you were probably too drunk to stay awake till 11 anyway!!!! We also didnt have a problem getting more then a couple of drinks in 1 go, and i saw people getting about 10 at once, so dont worry if your going in a big party of people.

Before i end up writing an essay, We both really enjoyed Aqua Fantasy, and thought it was fantastic value for money. Thye people are friendly, the foods nice, there are so many pools and entertainment, and the sun is shining!! whats there to complain about really!!!

Dont worry if you have a holiday booked there, i promise you will have a lovley time. Some people are too fussy, which they shouldnt be considering it was cheap as chips compared to other resorts!!!!!!! Have fun :) xxxx

“loved it but items stolen from room”

Aqua Fantasy Hotel & Aquapark

1/2 found this review helpful

We came back from this hotel 13/june 08.we had 2 fantastic weeks.2 adults 3 kids 15/10/9/.The pools are brill food spot on.On sundays they do roast beef and yorkshire pudding with fab gravy hum hum.The only down side was we had 4 bottles of coco chanel and mens joop which we had bought on way out from manchester airport stolen from our room.the only poeple that went in the room was cleaners and fridge checkers to check if we had had owt out of the fridge,as far as we know.We did not know till we got home after we had unpacked our cases.When you are coming and going from your room you dont always check all your items,all we wanted to do was get ready and chill.The entertainment was excellent.They have matterasses on sunloungers so comfy.My girls had a fab time they did not want to come home.We loved the water park,what a laugh we had.The rooms are spacious, We had to book 2 rooms cos they had no family rooms left.We only used the other room to shower and change because the beds are big enough for 3 kids and 2 adults,so dont worry if you have to have 2 rooms, you can all sleep in one room,they have doors that close to give privacy but they have a gap at the top so the kids can hear you but cant see.The weather was lovely.I would recomend this hotel to familys,singles,couples just watch your items in the rooms, We were in rooms 2231 and 2232.The hotel have camels that come every evening on the hotel grounds. you have to pay for them 20 liar per person, my kids did not want to have a ride because they said they smelt, i had to laugh to myself.They also have towels for hire round pool but at end of the holiday you get all your money back,also you pay for safe but again you get money back. They give you a spash card when you arrive which is used like a creditcard.be careful with this because you can get someones elses bill and also get charged for stuff you have not bought.This happens due to staff accepting to many spash card inone 2pay for items and you end up with some one elses card back, its easyally done when they are trying so hard to serve so many people in one go.This happened to a friend we met but luckily he got refunded after a row with reception.I would rate this hotel 5star.They have a small number of shops on site but do not pay there prices barter with them. Dont forget to go to market on wednesdays its great fun getting the prices down,we got some fab bargain copies,you cant tell they are copies i have washed them and they are perfect.Victoria beckam copy jeans perfect 35 lira £14 pound in english money. Gstar copy jeans brill.diesil copy jeans,brill.The hotel do a bus to market 2lira each but make sure you book seat because you wont get on. Itsa 20 lira for taxi so dont pay any more.If i can help any one please send me a message.angie.
