아쿠아 판타지 아쿠아파크 호텔 & 스파 - 올 인클루시브

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

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.
