" well what can i say? :) "
Submitted By: browny007
me & my family have been turkey 5 times now & stopped @ various resorts (inc. olu deniz)but this place is gonna take some beating!
i dont mean to be but, i am one fussy geezer & could not fault the place one bit.
the food, the drink, the entertainment, everything was bang on! the staff couldn't do enough for you.
the head chef who runs the kitchen, use to work for the american emmbassy in turkey, & has photos with him & bill clinton!
the only thing i would stay clear of is:
pera lager, its only 3% drink the tuborb its 5% ;) happy days
the independent shops near the main resturants there a rip off!
the mini bar in your room, again a rip off!
get a bus or taxi into the old town & do a food shop.
tip the waiters & bar staff there on next to nothing & work there bolox off!
we're definately booking for next year!

" Definately coming back "
Submitted By: katiekitten111
First i would like to say that the bad reviews are blloks, great hotel, helpful staff but some struggled with english, flew with first choice, swift service.
Once we got off the plane(Bodrum airport) had helpful rep (Samantha), two hour transfer time which had good views on the way, once arrived hotel looked lovely, went to reception helpful and got a pack with room cards and splash card (300 lira already on but no complimentery, make sure you got enough cash to pay bill), from pack you get stickers with room numbers on so bell boys take bags up, takes bout half hour. Lovely pools, freezing pools no matter how hot the weather is, got up at 8 NO SEATS AT ALL, beach lovely go right up to end of pier and i could still stand. Nice sofas and chairs by beach bar, wood hot under foot. Water sport on beach which are free are: pedallos, kayaking. Extras are jet skiing and many others sorry cant remember them.
Restarent was nice lovely selection including diet buffet, you can see the food being made, the juice is made from powder and horrible, nice tea coffee hot choco etc, all free on all inclusive.
The all inclusive started at 10 or 10:30 until 11, drinks all free, but cant take any drinks in water park but its right by hotel so u can pop back and drink and eat, waterpark very nice loads of slides etc.
Room was ok, had double bed, comfortable, single also comfortable and sofa bed not very comfortable, did request twin though, it has sliding doors but ours were broken technic service people pickin cups and rubbish up.
No lifeguards on beach but it was so shallow they werent needed.
Over all great holiday defo be back

" Super Duper "
Submitted By: buckley007
Just returned from the Aqua Fantasy Hotel. Weather was great for full two weeks. Food was very good and has plenty for the kids.
The hotel is great for kids with all the pools easy for them to get in and out, only down side to the pools was, in our second week as it got busier the sun beds had towels on them from about 7.30 dispite notices saying any placed before 8.30 would be removed.
The kids club was great and the kids loved every miniute of it, on the down side Ice creams from the fridges dotted around the hotel were not included and were very expensive.
The evening entertainment was ok and a good watch, On the down side any drinks after 11 pm were extra and were a rip off £7.50 for a rum and coke.
The family room we had was a great size and the cleaners kept them in a good condition.
Also make sure when you are coming back you have drinks and food with you as Bodrum Airport is very very expensive £5.00 for a can of coke and £6.00 for a tube of pringles.

" Awesome "
Submitted By: Miss T Clarke
Aqua Fantasy was the best holiday ever! The staff were friendly, the food was incredible, it was a nice, clean environment, the swimming pools and aqua park were AMAZING! (Although the beach could have been better) If I could I would definately go there again. To make the most of it we went to bed really late and got up early to make the most of our day - which we did - and were to busy to be tired. We also all lost weight because we only ate at meal times, no time to snack. Aqua Fantasy is the best holiday ever!!!
Advice: It
Activities: The main restaurant in the street.

" Loves It "
Submitted By: Kayz
Me and my family went to Aqua Fantasy, Funny Enough Kids Upet As They Wanted To Go Butlins!! Typical. But As soon as we got there the kids loved it!Food Was Brillant Couldn't Knock It. Staff Were Very Helpfull And Cleaned Tables as soonas they were finished with.the rooms were very tidy and the maidcame everyday!Aqua park was amazing everyone was happy including the grandparents!! i Personally would go back again the only bad things about it was kids running up and down knocking on your room doors but you get that most places, and the fact we had to leve our rooms at 12noon when our flight wasn't untill 2:30am.
i think it was very hygienic. Bar Staff worked incredibly hard in the evenings! Entertainment wasn't the best be better than nothing at all!! Me and my family were very impressed with the holiday and already have told all our friends they have 2 go. and i also think that the ones which didnt have a good time in october! well maybe if you went in the middle of the season everyone would be on ball yeah it costs more but it would be a better holiday for you!!! so anyone thinking about going i would say yes with no hesitations! The Market Was Great My Eldest daughter who is 17 loved it so any teenage girls out there i would go for the market, only bad piont is it gets a little hot but hey thats why you've gone on holiday to get the sun! so go on and book it i have for next year !! =]

" Super Hol "
Submitted By: val968
My family had a fantastic time at Aqua Fantasy and we would be delighted to return. The food served was wonderful. If anyone says they don't like it I can not imagine what they are not happy about. The service is excellent, as are all the staff. We felt we could let our two children (11 & 14) wander with friends without us needing to worry. The accommodation was spotless. We could have new bedding on request. One of us was ill for a day with a tummy bug, but it didn't spoil the rest of our holiday.The swimming pools were wonderful. The aqua park was tremendous. I can not praise this site enough. Excellent value for money.
Advice: Go to the local market with an open mind- teenage daughters need not take the banter seriously.

Previously left a fairly ok review for Aqua, only to arrive home still with sickness bug .Watch out for CRYPTOSPORIDIUM we all had it for more than 3 weeks,my eldest daughter had it for 7 weeks and lost over a stone and was on strong pain killers for abdo pains.
Also had letter from local authority after hospital results, from the disease control unit unable to attend work, school or college" until clear result shown and not able to prepare food either!!!! felt soooo unclean.
Hospital asked which country we had visited as this was not a british bug! and is one they strive to keep out of the UK..................

" Never again "
Submitted By: bradmorg
To start with had a NIGHTMARE due to flight being cancelled from luton. on arrival hotel looked very clean, tidy. rooms ok but like many hotels mini bar very over-priced. entertainment very poor, nothing to do in evenings apart from being crammed into the irish bar or spending all your money in the games room. Lots of drunk teenagers running about hotel all night, first choice reps were as much use as a chocolate firegaurd, only interested in selling trips some of which you could have done yourself a lot cheaper. Major rip-off if you were not turkish as we found out you could pay in lira for water park or dolphin swim, us foriegners were told to pay in euros which worked out a lot more. Kids found water park very good as they got to go all the time, dread to think what it would be like in high season as lack of rubber dinghys. Water park would have worked out over £100 for a family of six per day if we didn't go all inclusive. Food in hotel to start with was very good, But beware of hot food being put onto cold food and flies everywhere! Food timetables were not stuck to as food police were packing stuff away at least 45 mins before end of service. had a wrestling match with waiter to plug toaster in. Outside snack bars VERY un hygenic flies and leftover food everywhere. 5 out of 6 of us were struck down for 3 days with sickness and diahorrea. Overall staff helpfull when they felt like it made it feel like we shouldn't be there, as were more interested in winding down for end of season.

" Aqua Fantasy/Nightmare "
Submitted By: chrysler69
Who ever gave this resort a 4/5* rating needs to be made to spend at least a week staying there - they would soon change their opinion!!!. We booked our first all inclusive holiday after recommendations and reading lots of positive reviews and headed off to Kusadasi with open minds and excitement with our children ages ranging from 20months to 17yrs. On arrival it looked very nice, clean and just what we hoped for. Our rooms were nice although carpets really grubby. Bathrooms nice although very high bath to get in and out of and not easy for young children or anyone with back probs etc. Maid service could be a lot better - caught maids changing the signs on room doors from "please clean" to "do not disturb" I suppose to save themselves extra work. Very noisey hotel at night - lots of young people hanging around the bars really drunk and kids left runing up and down corridors until early hours. All our family and other friends we met up with all had sickness and upset stomach. My son aged 10 ended up in hospital with gastroenteritis and my youngest daughter had cryptosporidium due to food/water at hotel. First choice reps absolutely hopeless - only there to sell day trips to anyone wanting to waste their money. No help or support offered to our family and when notified them of so much illness in our group of friends just shrugged and said fill in a form when you get home - pathetic. Late room checkout a total rip off by both hotel and first choice. We have to leave our rooms by 12 noon and our flight didn't leave until 2.30am next morning. So in effect we lost a days stay in our room. We had to pay the extra 90 lira to keep our room on as our children were so ill and we couldn't be far away from a toilet!! Lots and lots of people left hanging about in foyer and bar area - not nearly enough seating for guests never mind people waiting for flights - many people laying on floor and snoozing on sofas for hours and hours on end. Evening meals times - well if you were lucky enough to find a table cleared or not, you then had to fight your way through the herds to get to the food. Waiters very arrogant and disinterested, food very repetitive and not warm - freshly cooked food just being poured on top of unfinished trays of food. Chefs touching cooked meats with raw meat on his hands handling both at same time, flies everywhere and crawling over uncovered food which is nearly all of it. Same food put out day after day after day after day. Obvious use of leftover food to make meals for following day.
On a positive note (I am trying) resort on the whole clean and inviting and pool areas good (although every pool is absolutely freezing cold not matter how hot the weather is)beach is good and much better for young children. Not a lifeguard to be seen anywhere. Pearl bar food better than restaurant for children. Water park good for kids again water freezing cold.
Evening entertainment - had much better at butlins. Total load of rubbish, cheap, tacky and unimaginative and repetitive. Starting very late and thankfully didn't last long - didn't seem to appeal to any age group. First few days of holiday ok and then downhill from then on in. Certainly won't be returning and would urge others to think very carefully. Despite my moaning we are not a fussy family and will give anything a try but very disappointed in the resort and facilities.

Where do i begin!!!!!!
All inclusive i dont think so 1 choice of beer which is like cats piss
vodka ,red wine or white wine they are like vinegar
Childrens coke was full of that much sugar and syrup it was sickly
one eveing we went to a bar and i asked for a vodka and coke and looked at my glass and saw some red which i thought o why have i got a tomatoe on my glass then thought we are in a bar there is no food in this part looked at the barman and he had a bleeding finger which was pooring with blood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband told him to sought his finger out and he just stood there untill we shouted at him he then went and oput some tissue over it.
The staff well they never seemed happy or helpful only the room maid she was lovely and helpful and friendly .
The rooms stunk of damp and swap as we faced the swap and the smell was discusting no view apart from looking at the swamp ,also the rooms had carpet which didnt help with the smell there was everything in that carpet from sand to sick to s**t believe me we saw the stains.
Noise at night from drunken teenagers running up and down the corridors plus a fight where a teenage lad put his arm through a glass door o yes then there was another fight with 2 grown up adults,one was sent home.
We didnt go to the water park as herd that the staff there were to intrested in dancing than saving lifes as someones child went under and they didnt do anything and with our 2 children thay are our lives why would we put them through that!!!!!!!
The pools were cold and parents were to busy drinking like they have never had a drink in there lives before so we thought we would stay buy the sea seemed safest place.
Breakfast staff was very rude and didnt like to clean your table my child brike his glass i mean glass whuy not plastic at breakfast time and it was all over the floor and we asked them to get a brush in the end we tidyed it up.
Kids entertainment its the same every night the man in charge goes mad if the kids go near the end of the stage ,well why put them on it in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before i forget ice cream 1 hour only i think i found out why as it very runny ice cream not frozen enough and bacteria is breeding and belive mE my youngest had the most terrible upset stomache for 3 weeks and loads of others as well on our flight home.
So if you have no taste buds,and like to be spoken rudly and want an upset stomach this is your holiday.
The best thisng was we made some great friends but i would never go back.
