Aqua Fantasy Resort Hotel

Amazing holiday.amazing hotel. Amazing food.
Just got back after 7 days at aqua fantasy, if your worried about spending money don't be me my fiancé an our 3 kids 13-11 an 7 all girls only spent 300 lira and 120 of that was on photos from the hotels photographers. We will definatly be going again, the food was brilliant in the carribean snack bar they do burgers, hot dogs, pizza,spit roast chicken and bonless kfc type chicken. The two youngest enjoyed the kids club which is free of charge. Very clean hotel, staff know a lot of English and are polite. If you goto kusadassi town get a taxi for 25 lira or 3.50 lira per person you can get the dolomus but they drop you at the top of town and you got to head towards the marine for decent shops which takes a 5-10 min walk. Personally I prefer taxi it was safer. If you like your films I took a gamble an spent 25 lira on 7 new DVD titles from the DVD man as he calls himself and just checked them and they are DVD quality. Hope this review has answered some of your wonders about the place.phil dent

Me, my partner and 13 year old daughter came back from Kusadasi two weeks ago, all bronzed and glowing. The hotel was large but lovely. The room was checked every day for need of fresh towels, toiletries etc. My only slight issue was that a small fridge would have been nice to keep the free daily water cold and anything else you choose to buy. The food was plentiful every day and there was a great variety. The water park was great fun and fantastic when you have a child to entertain. On the Monday we went on an excursion to Ephesus. The ancient ruins are exceptional and well worth the trip. Be aware that however warm you are, it will be 4 or 5 degrees warmer here as it is set in a valley. An umbrella for shade is recommended otherwise you start to melt.
On a final note, besides a great tan I can back with about 50 mosquito bites, make sure you buy repellent and use it very liberally.

please save your money unless you want chips for lunch and dinner everyday. first appearances my wife and 3 year old twins thought it was ok but a few days in you start to see the cracks.
we found the choice of food and drinks really poor and quality was bad also.all drinks are watered down wether its alcholic or juice and food was swimming in fat.turkey and chicken was greasy and we found under cooked and dangerous .there is a first come first serve policy at all outlets so you find yourself shouting and pushing to get served. some staff were nice but others very rude and ignorant. lots of hidden costs as drinks stop being free after 11:00 ,2 bags of crips 5 euros and 4 ice creams was 8 euros . aquapark is good fun but you cannot take food or water in and they check your bag to make sure,the idea being you have to then spend money in there instead which again is a rip off. this place is not as clean as first appears and will deffinately not be returning.

We are a family of 3 adults and 4 children aged between 6 and 15 we went here in October 2009 and booked with first choice. The hotel is immaculate with staff cleaning the whole time we were there and always happy to help, the food in the main restaurant was very nice with plenty of fruit, veg and meats in sauces but could be tricky if you have a very fussy eater in your group but the snack bar which serves burgers, kebabs, pizza and chips solved this problem.The pools all over the complex were very, very cold and even though the weather was very hot we couldn't swim for long before lips started turning blue. the aquafantasy park is amazing your all inclusive wrist band cannot be used in here but it is literally on the other side of the gate where you can. The hotel even supplies cards to exchange for beach towels each day which is great and could take back at end of day and get a new one the next. Whilst on our holiday not once did we see any accidents around the pool (though with kids running around it could happen) nor did we hear of anyone getting sick because of the food like some of the comments on here say.
Only thing I would say is if you can fly to Izmir as the transfer time is only 45 mins, we flew to Bodrum and the transfer in 2hrs 45 mins and seemed like forever.
Overall we had a fantastic time and would recommend this to anyone only if they fly to Izmir.

went to aqua fantasy in june last year, and took the kids, 8&3 yrs old. we all absolutely loved it, the kids had the time of their lives and we will definitely go back. the hotel was immaculate, food was fantastic with plenty of choice for kids too.the facilities and pools were superb and the aqua park is amazing.take a trip into kusadasi and go to Planet Yucca restaurant, superb food and people. i find it hard to pick faults with the whole holiday, the only thing i'd say was that the lager was awful, don't even think it was lager, but it probably did me good to not drink for 2 weeks...oh, and keep the mini bar locked as it costs a fortune!! still an amazing holiday with the little faults, if you don't have a good holiday here then there's something wrong with you :)

Fantastic holiday, we were all inclusive family of eight + we went with friends so a total of 16 of us.
The hotel was spotless, they cleaned from the time you got up until the time you went to bed.
The staff were all very polite and helpful.
A very good choose of pools in the hotel or you had entrance to the Water park next door all included with your stay.
Food was very good lots of choose and themed evenings as well.
Would definitely recommend to anyone, fantastic.

On first inspection hotel looked amazing but after a week both our children and our friends two children came down with awful sickness and diarrheoa and one with an ear infection, cue visits to doctors and hospital while away and a spell in hospital for my daughter on return. Still ill after 11 days and been diagnosed with Cryptosporidium. Reps and doctors trying to cover it up and have done nothing about it dispite lots of sick children.
