Ee stayed here for the second year running and have booked to go back again next year. the service and food were even better this year not that last year was bad. The staff fall over themselves to help especially at the oasis restaurant. If you look at the info boards there is something going on all the time not only watersports.we look forward to going back again next year.

We as a family have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Aqua Fantasy. I have never been in such a clean and well maintained hotel as this inside and out. Rooms were clean tidy and well maintained. Food was out of this world and a good varity to choose from. We took 5 children ages ranging from 2 to 13 yrs. They had the most fabulous time and were never bored. From swimming in the pools, to pool side games and being involved in the evening entertainment, they were always involved. The entertainment staff knew exactly what was wanted from them and performed to the highest standard. The time stop on all inclusive was not a problem, if you knew you would be about after 11 pm you just stocked up nothing was said. All management teams spoke as they passed you, the most friendliest place you could go and take children. Location is good and the history of the country is interesting also. Value for money by no stretch of the imagination is absolutely yes. This hotel is what is says and more. We have already booked to return next year. Well done Aqua Fantasy for our wonderful holiday see you all next year.

Overall we had a pleasant holiday but 4 out of 6 had
stomach upsets. Hotel was clean but air con in reception was to be desirable. Also we noticed air con in room actually worked better if you turned dial to hot. (obviously they are trying to save money).
Food was really good but be aware of chicken and burgers during the day as some were not cooked properley.
All inclusive is some what a bit of joke if you like your alcohol. Larger was 90% water 10% larger. The selection of spirits was very poor. After 10.40pm bar staff quoted 2 drinks only per person, so if you have a family of 5 you have to take serveral trips to the bar. Everything from 11.00pm onwards was really expensive water included. Most branded spirits averaged at £4 -£6 per drink.
Beach, if you are looking for white sands and blue seas then this is certainly not the place for you. The water was full of sea grass which was scooped up every day and left in a heap to rot and smell on the beach front.
Entertainment, this was ok if you have children between the ages of 4 and 7. We had a boy and girl 10 and 11, and all I can say is thank god for Nintendos. The decent entertainment did not start until 11.00pm when drinks had to be paid for but in my opinion this was not suitable for the under aged children as it was more aimed at the 18 - 25 year olds.
Be aware of the mini bar as some of our water bottles were replaced with uncealed tops and some guests were being charged for goods which they had not taken.
Overall not a bad hotel very clean but please take in to consideration points I have made

My 3 boys and I had a fantastic 2 weeks at Aqua Fantasy in Turkey (9th July 06). Just a shame there wasn't any town near by to walk to in the evening but not a problem really as theres so much going on and we never got bored.
We had a good sized 2 bedroom accommodation (room No 1217) over looking small elephant kids pool and slides also main pool. My room had a King size bed and 2 singles in the other. Plain and simple but fine to just sleep and change in. Both rooms had TV with few English channels (MTV and sky news) good working air-con, hair dryer, phone, mini shampoos and shower gel, mini bar (but don't use it)as a can of cokes over a £1. Safety box to be charge up front for 3 lira's a day.
Good foods very much the same but a very good choice, ice cream served daily from 1-2pm only. Nice fresh pizza- mini syrup donuts by pool bars. We did use the new building to have are evening meals in as it was a bit better, nobody said anything. Nice kept gardens and about 8 pools plus the new building has another indoor pool and slide, not yet finished when we left. The picture in the brochures are a bit out of date Id say as the plants and bushes are full grown and more buildings about. "I would as some thing" a lot of kids had very bad ear aches and the Doctor wasn't much good and just sent you off to hospital, so if yours do suffer from this take some stuff to clear it up.
The water park is great a few slides you mite have to queue up for as it is also open to the public as well, so go 1st or last part of the day I'd say.
You can't get your AI drinks there or take drinks into the Aqua park, but your given splash cards to use at start of holiday (not a great idea as it does add up very quickly) also can be used for lollies and brand named drinks and after 11pm when the AI time ends.
There's a few nice shops in complex but best by far is the photo shop:-)
Day time and evening entertainment programs are good fun, and entertainers were great. kids mini disco, shows are very good and loads of time was spent on them, karaoke, bingo, quizzes, beach parties and fireworks, market nights round the pool area, disco's after 11pm-theme night once a week wear they ask you to wear Red & White if possible to join in. Also a Black & white Night -we missed that. By the end of the holiday everyone has nearly always joined in with the club dance (HE HE).
They have really tried hard to clear and make the beach nicer but every morning theres tons of seaweed about they drag up into heaps. Theres a small pier which is nice to sunbathe on as it's nice and quiet.
This hotel is full of mainly Dutch folk so spot the English person?(Not always a bad thing). Another good thing you don't have to get up the crack of dawn to save sun beds which was a first.
You can keep your room on but only till 3pm for free or 6pm for an extra £20. Not that fun if your kids are shattered and youre not picked up till 11.15pm
Great place for families, I'm going to go back which will be the 1st. Just shame that the transfers 2:30hrs from Bodrum. I paid £1,850 for 2 adults and 2 kids with onboard flight meals for 2 weeks,booked with First Choice in Jan 06

But the all inclusive policy leaves a lot to be desired, as no ice-cream for over 18yr old, we as old age pensioners love an ice -cream, had to pay for water in the aqua park, no facilities for disabled to get into or out of water i.e. ramps, selling darts to youngsters in stead of leasing them for the duration of the game as they then have a potentially weapon on their person during their stay and if you like chicken (as I do not)the food was rather repetitive. No entertainment in the nights for the older and younger generation, not enough beds to relax on unless you get up at the crack of dawn to put your towels on, and then they are empty nearly all day as they are elsewhere but the towels stopped other people using them.

I have just returned 2 days ago from my best ever holiday yet! I travelled with my husband and 2 young sons aged 3 and 8. Aqua Fantasy is a superb hotel consisting of a world side and club side. I stayed on the world side and found it to be of a very high standard meeting the stated 5 star rating. Food was excellent and had great variety. The pearl bar on the world side had great snacks on and the "Oasis" restaurant was superb! The only down side was that I only stayed for 1 week but I WILL be returning next year for 2!!!!! WELL DONE AQUA FANTASY!

Not to be recommended. Glorified butlins if you are staying in one of the outer blocks. The main hotel section is ok though. Food not of a high standard. Staff friendly. Watch out for the extras which are not even hidden. When asked about 5* rating they tell you it is Turkish 5*.
Won't be back and that comes from a 9 year old to a 40 something. PS First Choice of little or no help.

Just got back from our third year at aqua fantasy (just booked for next year)
With my wife and 5 year old son as always a super holiday the hotel is better than ever with the opening of the world side the new rooms are really nice
the staff that were there from other years welcomed us like old friends if you have kids the new English kids club at the world side is just what you need for that couple of hours to rest before being dragged of to the huge water park next door - accessed through your private gate of course the food did seam to be of higher standard this year and all the restaurants were very clean as always the only down side to the holiday is that 2 weeks goes so fast (but not to worry only 49 weeks to go until next time).
