Aqua Fantasy Aquapark Hotel & Spa

This is our 3rd time here and we all love it. We have a 1,7 and 10 year old kids and they don't want to go anywhere else. Even when you take away the water park there is just so much to do. We have also booked again for this June and already looking forward to it. 3 main pools and they are lovely. The food is stunning and always plenty of choice. When we arrive we book into the Italian, Chinese and Turkish restaurants as you get one a week. When the 2 main restaurants are shut the snack areas are brill, kebabs pizza etc. We prefair the carrabian pool area, and the pearl bar for the snacks. This place does tick every box for all of us. See you all again in June

We flew into Bodrum, which I would not recommend if you then don’t want a 3hr transfer to the hotel! Better flying into Izmir. We arrived at the hotel about 2am, extremely tired, we checked in and went straight to our room to sleep. The room was lovely. Spacious with a separate living area that had another single bed set up. When the daylight hours came about, we checked out our view. A view of the car park/water park! Not a garden view as booked. We spoke to the TUI reps about this, and expressed that a garden view does not mean a car park. The hotel found us another room, which ended up being a view of the Adult Only/Quiet Pool. Thank you very much for this! Food was pretty standard for an all inclusive. Lots of kids and other nationalities pushing in or just having a plate full and not thinking of the 10-15 people behind them. It was quite repetitive, but we enjoyed eating in the Snack Bar towards the beach for lunch. This had a bit more likeable food. We stayed around the Adult Only pool as it was much quieter! Otherwise we would have gone to the beach. We went in the water park once. It was supposed to be the best waterpark in the area - not based on the ones I’ve been to in the past. The water had leaves in, nobody even attempted to clear them. I just didn’t enjoy it like I have done at other water parks. We left after about an hour or so - which I’m glad we didn’t have to pay for the entrance! Entertainment - well! It wasn’t entertaining. It definitely was geared up for other nationalities and mainly the Turkish. The first week was full of Turkish guests that were extremely rude. Especially during the beach party. The second week was better as there were hardly any Turkish men/families there. The hotel itself is extremely clean and I couldn’t fault this. Staff, weren’t very friendly - apart from the bar staff at the pool, they were FANTASTIC! One kept wandering round asking if we wanted drinks, now that is service! Overall, a good stay at the Aqua Fantasy. I probably would come back to Turkey, but maybe not to this hotel.

I traveled in the July summer holidays with my two daughters aged 12,15, from Manchester airport on an afternoon flight and arrived at Izmir airport late in the evening. We were directed by TUI, reps to the coach and the transfer took about an hour and a half to the hotel. It was close to midnight before we arrived at the hotel and the rep had arranged for us a late meal. The hotel took a bit of getting used to, but once we were acquainted it was easy thereafter! The girl at the front desk was very helpful we had requested a quite room on the ground floor close to the restaurant and snack bar and was given exactly that. Late breakfast was from 11am - 12pm, which was the best breakfast I have ever had, so much to choose from like, French toast, Porridge, scrambled eggs , omelette, cheese toast, rice pudding, pan cakes, water melon, fruit, Turkish delight, etc... and the list goes on and on. The Aqua park is absolutely awesome! My daughter really enjoyed the slides and swimming pools. Workers at the hotel are very friendly and hard working, we had no issues at all? TUI, reps have an office at the hotel and gave us advise and a tour of the hotel during our stay. A local bus is available from the main road for 6 Turkish Lira's to the local town center. There are two indoor (heated) pools, ideal for children and outdoor pools both for children/adults. We went all inclusive, so snacks, drinks, food and ice cream, no problem. We only went once for the entertainment and didn't enjoy it. We did not experience any difficulties at lunch or dinner times and did not have to wait more than one or two minutes to get served, even though we went during peak season. I would recommend Aqua Fantasy Hotel to everyone and would certainly re-visit again in the future!
