Aqua Fantasy Aquapark Hotel & Spa

Stayed for two weeks from 18th May with husband and two kids, 9 and 6. Ha a fab time. We had a family room with sliding door which was a good size. Rooms are a bit dated but that’s possibly the only downside, particularly the bathroom! Other than that the hotel is fab. Good range of drinks on all inclusive. Food available found the clock from either the main Oasis restaurant or the Pearl Snack Bar does pizza, burgers, hot dogs, salads etc and different kebabs daily as well as fresh waffles. It’s near the main Fontana Pool. Entertainment team are great, work long hours and really do their best to keep people entertained. Always something to do, either pool activities or fitness such as Yoga or Zumba, Mini golf and of course unlimited access to the water park. The Beach party on a Wednesday is the best night, great music and everyone just enjoys themselves. The Foam party on the beach on a Friday afternoon is fab too. Queues weren’t too bad at all. Yes there are people who don’t have manners and people who are not used to queuing which can get annoying but it doesn’t ruin anything. The bar staff at the Beach Bar near the entertainment area annoyed us a few times, completely ignoring us and serving people who had just walked up. But by the end of our holiday people had started queueing at the bar instead anyway. The split doesn’t impact on the holiday experience at all. We have visited Aqua Fantasy before, a few years ago. A new entertainment area and stage has been built and a new beach bar and play park. You can still get everything you could get before! The flamingo pool, near the water park is shared. The main pool - Fontana, quiet adult only pool, indoor pool and kids slide pool are all still on Aqua Fantasy side. The reps are fab, always there for help and advice. Apart from the water park, here’s nothing really in the area. Kuşadası is worth a visit, about 70tl/10€ in a taxi or a lot lot cheaper by Dolmus. A few restaurants offer free transport when eating there, Planet Yucca was lovely food and very friendly staff. We went there to eat, then did some shopping and they gave us free transfers both ways. Selçuk is also worth a visit, particularly on a Saturday when the big market is on. All in all a great holiday, will definitely be back!

Recently returned from a week’s stay really good holiday overall. Some negatives first the hotel for the first three nights was very noisy with screaming, shouting and swearing in the corridors in the early hours of the morning. Unfortuntely did apear to be English guests. Not the hotel’s fault but when you have children not ideal. Also, whilst food was good compared to other hotels in Turkey we have stayed in, which have been quite a few, the food is limited and repetitive. There is plenty of fresh fruit and salad available but meat etc. same choice each night and at lunch. Queues at breakfast long for pancakes and the woman doing them always miserable and only seemed able to do about 5 at a time despite long queues. Fresh bakery section is good. We opted to use the a la Cartes for a change. The Turkish is offered free by the hotel as an extra which is nice and the food and service was great. We also used the chinese one. Our son loved this one and talked about it for days after and would have gone back. Lovely area as well overlooking the garden and pond. We mainly ate in the Pearl Bar at lunch again limited choice but the kebabs are nice and if you are happy to queue then waffles worth the wait. Ice cream is excellent with good choice and really good quality ice cream. Rooms are clean but do seem dated perhaps as they are very dark furniture and carpets etc. All have good bathrooms and very clean. We opted for a room with sliding doors and we overlooked the adult pool. All of the hotel is spotless clean. Any spillages are immediately dealt with by staff who are forever cleaning. Pool areas are good, children can use inflatables and even the pool toilets spotless. Some bins in main pool area would be good although staff are going around constantly collecting rubbish. We used the Fontana pool and everything you need within a few minutes walk. Lifeguards around all day and very good. We used the water park on and off for three days. Again, good very few queues. Lifegaurds everywhere and watching. Very strict on heights. Our son was half a centimetre under 1.4 as he had no shoes on he is very small for his age so he was turned away from the 4 in 1 combo slide as too small although considerably younger kids could go on. He is a very competent swimmer but they did stick to the heights. He loved the wave machine and again lifeguards very excellent while it was on. We used the lobby bar on a few nights person serving up there brilliant forever running around always very cheerful and very chatty with all the guests. Overall all a great holiday and would recommend. We had hoped to go back next year but wanted to book directly with the hotel. The reception were not helpful when we asked about room rates or about booking with them whilst there. We were told room rate per night per person is £125 but we could not get any confirmation of what that included as we were told that was for room only (and we wanted to know about meals/waterpark access etc.) and seems very high compared to other hotel prices we have booked directly particularly for only a room. We did email on our return as well but again no-one came back to us which is a shame as we have had to today book somewhere else to make sure we got the price advertised for that one.

Best holiday ever, the animation are the best we have had. Hotel and all staff are super friendly and couldn’t be more helpful even maya show beach party pool party fire show was amazing thank u for oscar memo momo
