Hotel Aqua

Great hotel,very clean,good food and great friendly service. A special mention to my 10 month old's favourite waiter who was very attentive and made him laugh every day and to the rep sam who was friendly and entertaining. Look forward to going back soon.

Okay so myself and my girlfriend have just returned from staying at aqua for 2 weeks for the second year in a row and the first thing I’d like to say is that the staff are INCREDIBLE! Seriously, I don’t know what these guys are paid but they all deserve a pay raise so I’m gonna roll off a few names so let’s start with the evening drink crew; Yunus - TOP MAN, always has a smile on his face and is constantly making sure your drink is topped up and never gets an order wrong. He’s one of those guys that just has a really kind & friendly aura. Huseyin kalkan - another one who is always smiling and making sure your topped up and happy. In the dining hall; Islam - this guy is the best staff member in the whole damn place, he is the most friendly, kind, awesome guy you’ll meet and he’s always efficient with any drinks you need. Varhit - another great guy, always friendly and snappy with the drinks. Harun - another one who gives you everything you need and more in the dining hall, all these guys get a 10/10 from me. And what’s great is ALL OF THEM remembered our drink orders every single time (even my girlfriends silly ‘no ice’ rule) which is mega impressive when you think about how many people they serve on a daily basis! BUT the real MVP goes to Mehmet, the pool guy. Now this guy gets no recognition, no thanks, no praise and most people don’t even smile back or even acknowledge him but this guy is working NON STOP all day every day, he’s on his feet from wayyy before anyone’s up until way past midnight and he does not sit down, have a break or even give himself 10 mins out of the boiling heat, no sir this guy is CONSTANTLY working every second of every day not to mention he’s such a nice guy! So friendly and cheerful even when he’s doing that hard graft that no one realises, so PLEASE if you visit aqua an see Mehmet working around the pool then go and say hello because if I had it my way he’d be running the place! The animation team are awesome as well Sam’s great fun and always running really fun events as is Hop. Aiguelle is really nice and Olyessa is so lovely as well she’s so good with the kids all of them love her! Anyway enough about the amazing staff at this place let’s go onto the hotel itself; the rooms are spacious, and if you’re on the inside the views of the mountains and the sea are pretty amazing. We stayed on the outside last year and if you’re at the front of the hotel on the side the views kinda sucked but if your at the back end of the hotel it doesn’t matter if you’re on the inside or the outside the views are great! Also the food is AWESOME! Especially the BBQ, if you go to Aqua and don’t try the chicken there you’ve wasted your time! There is only one complaint I have about our experience and it’s that one night there was a group of us (all of which were in our early/mid 20s) and although we certainly weren’t being quiet, we really weren’t being that loud. One guy who I think was the general manger (or at least one of them) who always wears a checkered shirt, is bald and wears glasses (he looks abit like the actor James Cromwell, look him up if you don’t know who I’m on about) came over to us at around 1.30 in the morning, tapped his watch at us and told us to go to bed. Now, firstly as I said the loudness of our group really did not warrant this, secondly it’s our holiday and we work all year to come here so we should not be told to go to bed like children! The worst part about it was there was several other groups of people at the hotel that were still drinking but he just told us, and we feel that it was because we were allot younger than the other guests, which brings me into my next point..we got allot of funny looks from allot of older people at the hotel just when we were walking through, this did not happen last year as we made allot of friends with older and even elderly people but it was a completely different vibe this year. I think it’s because the prices have gone up from last year and therefore are pulling in a different type of guest at the hotel which isn’t good at all because we loved how nice and friendly everyone was last year but it really wasn’t the same crowd this year. So if you’re reading this aqua keep it the way it was because other than those 2 things this hotel is PERFECT!

Been to this hotel before and it was very good, but now it's much better if possible! Good facilities but this hotel is great because of all the staff. They are all helpful ,cannot do enough for you and are always happy helping you. The Aqua Rainbow team come around all day looking after you making ensuring your holiday is the best. This is possibly the best hotel in Turkey.
