Aqua Fantasy Aquapark Hotel & Spa - Ultra All Inclusive

Perfect family holiday in Turkey! (Visited with kids aged 7 and 9) We stayed here for a week in early July 2025 and honestly, it was great — a real 5/5 for what it is. The place is quiet, full of flowers, the staff are all super friendly and helpful, food is good and varied, and there’s a lot to do — especially the fantastic aquapark. The good stuff: Staff: Everyone was so nice and smiling all the time, and most speak good English. We really felt welcome from day one. I’d say it’s what makes this resort stand out from others we’ve visited in Turkey. Management can be proud — this team really shows the best side of modern, relaxed Turkey. Special thanks to the guest relations team, and to Egehan from reception who even helped us find our way in town after his shift. Cleanliness: Everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. The cleaning staff are constantly at work and it really shows. Rooms: Modern, comfy, and well thought out. The bathroom was large and perfectly clean. Beds were comfortable. Minibar refilled every day (beer, soda, water) — nice touch! Food: Big buffet with loads of choice and several live-cooking stations that change every day. Breakfast and dinner are amazing; lunch is a bit simpler but still good. Pools: Large, never overcrowded, always clean, and lots of lifeguards around. Location: Only 15 minutes by Dolmus from Kusadasi — lovely city and definitely worth visiting. Ephesus isn’t far either, and there are plenty of boat trips and tours to Pamukkale. What could be better: The evening shows/music are way too loud. It’s common in resorts, but still — not ideal when you have kids or want to sleep early. Not enough tables at lunchtime in the main restaurant. Desserts are very traditional Turkish style — lots of colorful sweet stuff, but not really what most Europeans enjoy Luckily there’s always ice cream! Cocktails by the pool aren’t great… but the ones at the reception bar are! Family rooms (for 4) only have two chairs on the balcony. A bit more space inside would have helped for luggage and clothes. Drinks and snacks at the waterpark aren’t included in the all-inclusive (a bit expensive), but there’s a hotel bar right next to the entrance, so not a big deal. Bad points: Honestly? None. To sum up: We totally recommend this place. Great value, great people, perfect for kids who love water and fun. You can book without hesitation — we’d happily come back!

Well I am currently a little bored waiting for my flight from Bodrum Milas - Manchester and thought what better time to write my review of the hotel we spent the last 7 days in. This was my second time visiting Aqua Fantasy, having come with my parents as a teenager 15 years ago, not much has changed other than my now adult perspective. When we first arrived at the hotel at 1:00am we were greeted by polite and friendly staff who checked us in and took us (and our suitcases) to our room. We had a family room with the sliding doors and a balcony that faced onto a nice planted area. The room was clean, had ample wardrobe space and included tea & coffee making facilities and a free mini bar that was replenished every day with cans of Pepsi, fizzy orange, 7up and water. We were pleased to be notified that the oasis restaurant downstairs was open and we were able to go get something to eat after our long day travelling. There were very limited options but I definitely have no complaints about that as we were just happy to not have to go to bed on an empty stomach. After our long day and late night we woke up at around 9:30am thinking we would have missed breakfast but this was actually served until 10:30am. There were many choices including cooked breakfast, made to order omelettes, pastries, pancakes, fruit, yoghurt and cereal. We particularly enjoyed being able to cut a piece off a huge honeycomb every day to put in our yoghurt and cereal. If you don’t like beeswax there was also honey in a bowl you could choose instead. Lunches and dinners were served also for a good amount of time and included a large variety of different choices, evening meals seemed to be themed and we enjoyed Turkish, Asian & seafood on these different evenings. The food was of good quality, hot and replenished quickly when things ran out. There was also a kids buffet section tucked away at the back of the restaurant with things like pizza, plain pasta & chicken nuggets for any fussy eaters. The main restaurant also had an ice cream parlour just outside. You can dine in one of the hotels a la carte restaurants once during your stay for free. We chose the Chinese but there was also a steakhouse, seafood restaurant and Turkish restaurant and speaking with other guests it sounds as though they were all as delightful as each other. You can also dine in any of the restaurants after your free experience at extra cost. There was supposed to be another all inclusive restaurant and snack bar, the pearl restaurant, but this was disappointingly closed for the duration of our stay. Each of the pools in the hotel had a bar by them serving cocktails, shorts, beer & wine, milkshakes, coffee and soft drinks. There were multiple indoor bars too in case of bad weather and the Irish bar frequently had evening entertainment such as live singers and musicians. The sailors bar is where the children’s evening entertainment is held and also just a few metres away from the beach so that yo

What a great family hotel Decent size family room, have stayed in hotels with larger family rooms, but was enough for us an 2x 11 year old boys. Rooms are cleaned daily and cleaned well The water park is 2 mins walk away from reception and what a great water park ot is, I do recommend this hotel and park of your kids are into water slides. Take drinks and snacks with you as the park is expensive. Hotel pools are clean and busy, pool bars are good, well staffed and always with a 5 minute queue. You do need to your needs early. Resturants Breakfast main restaurant is good, lots to pick from, always something the kids will eat. 3 main fresh stations as well outside for cook to order. So much new foods to try. Lunch, garden restaurant is the must. Really busy, not enough tables for all the guests. You can hunt for up to 15 minutes for a table at lunch time. The food is the best of the day. Fresh grills, pizza oven, kebabs, salad bar, fresh waffle station. There is so much choice you are spoilt. Easy to over eat at lunch time. The Italian Book and go. The waiters are brilliant, run to the bar to keep the table stocked up. The main sharing starter is great. The kids demolished it. If you like steak, this is the resturant for you. Fillet steak, easy 10z, cooked to perfection And if you feel you need a 2md steak, just ask, we did. Turkish resturant at tui blue over the road Yes you can book and eat here as well We did and the food was good Not as good as the steak house, but still good The bar is rammed, you have to walk to the bar, 15 min wait The pizza and grilled meats were really good Kids loved the resturant Main buffet restaurant Same location as breakfast Outside grills are best to head for, small queues but the best meat, different theme most nights. So much selection Always something for the kids Pasta station Rows and rows of cakes Ice cream stall is good, busy as well. So expect a queue. DONT BUY FROM THE WATCH SHOP The boys wanted a watch It broke and the pin came out within a day, they put it back in, came out two days later and wouldn't fix it. The pin to change the time doesn't work either, so now home, its useless. Really do recommend this hotel If you want local boat trip, please book with amore boat trips, collection from hotel, and drop off. Food and drink. Large sail boat, max 20 people. Not a booze boat party. Best boat trip in years. Kids wanted to ho again the next day

I honestly cannot believe some of the reviews for here, especially about the food. We couldn’t fault it and we are real foodies. The hornets outside at the pearl restaurant are annoying but that’s not that’s not the hotels fault. We had a great time, we travelled as a family of 4 with 2 boys age 16 and 2. There was always something going on water polo, darts, volleyball, football etc. We visited the oriental and steak restaurants and found the food lovely at both and the staff were so attentive. Every member of staff we came into contact with were friendly and accommodating. We loved how it’s such a melting pot of guests too, we made friends from Iran, Germany etc. The Oktoberfest was brilliant as was the party on the beach with the DJ. I liked the fact they had Aperol, Gordon’s etc and was even surprised they did my favourite cocktail a Bloody Mary. The iced coffees are also nice and don’t even get me started on the Patisserie… The whole complex is spotless and our room was cleaned everyday including fresh sheets, even them down to folding clothes and arranging my sons soft toys. The mini bar was also stocked everyday with 2 large waters, sparkling water and soft drinks. The waterpark is brilliant my boys loved it. We only used the indoor pool once but again no complaints. I found with the hotel not having anywhere in walking distance actually saved us money as bar from going into town twice we made the most of the hotel. All in all we had a fabulous 10 days and can’t knock anything. If I was to be pedantic I would say the pool was a little cold but obviously to be expected holidaying in late September.
