    Amazing hotel .even though we went without children, son booked with ex girlfriend and her kids (long story). So we ended up here with our 27 yr old son .🤪. Not expecting to enjoy this holiday we where amazed how good it was. So much for families of all ages. The water park is amazing🏊‍♀️🏄‍♀️ , last year we did disney florida with our daughters family and this was a mini version of the water parks there. The selection and quality of food was exceptional. 🍝🥗🍺🍹🥂 The staff were outstanding couldn't do enough for you. ❤We made use of the gym and Spa which where amazing recommend everyone has the Turkish bath and massage 🤪😘 would highly recommend this hotel and am hoping to get all 9 of our grandchildren out there for some fun
    Perfect place for a two week holiday for a family of 5

    We returned from this hotel 2 days ago. We decided to have our 2 week holiday at this resort and we were not disappointed at all and are considering going back next year. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food is as you’d expect - buffet style food and some of the choices are the same at lunch and dinner. Breakfast was always the same options but it didn’t bother us in the slightest. They have a nice little area where the younger children can sit and eat their food whilst the adults sit near them on another table which encourages children to make friends. The pools are cold (but very welcome in the heat of the day) and I’d imagine that in the summer whilst they are cold they are probably very cooling if it’s super hot. The beach is lovely and the sea is warmer than the pools and is just a few seconds walk from the main pool. The entertainment was awesome, certainly kept our children entertained. The baby and kids club staff were truly lovely and I did not worry at all about leaving the children there and they had a lovely time. We visited Selçuk market which was on the advice of the staff there as when we asked which market would be better for us (we have 3 children aged 18 months, 7 and 16!) we were told that in the Kusadasi market the sellers try to take your children out of the pushchair / lead them to their stalls so that we would buy stuff. I wasn’t so keen on that idea hence we went to the Selçuk one - it was fine, I felt comfortable and if you said no then they left you alone. We honestly could not fault the staff, hotel, entertainment, rooms, food or location. The only thing that started to become a problem was the flies, mosquitoes and wasps but this isn’t the hotels fault (they spray the entire grounds of the hotel every evening to keep the mosquitoes at bay) but because it was the end of season and is generally cooler the flying critters come out in force - this is just something to bear in mind if you are going at the mid - end oct (although it will also happen April - may time as it’s chillier then too!!!) Wonderful time, perfect break.
    Great vegan (and other!) food

    We travelled as a family of adults to this fab hotel in Turkey. My daughter is vegan, and has pretty much lived on chips and salad in other hotels. Here she found loads of tasty dishes she could have. All the food had allergens clearly displayed in symbol form, so she found choosing really easy. I have to say that the rest of the food was good too, and as for the desserts.............................amazing!! You also get one visit to the Taverna, and to the pizza restaurant during your stay, which both served delicious food. The hotel grounds are beautiful, and everywhere looked clean and well kept. The best thing about this hotel was the free waterpark. I think we used it every day, and in October the queues were pretty much non-existent. I gave a 4 star rating was because the entertainment let it down. You always expect the evening entertainment to be aimed at kids till around 9 -9.30, but after that it would be more for adults. It all seemed a bit banal, with the exception of the beach party night and the final show of the season by the animation team. Even the Turkish show was let down by the bright screen behind and lack of spotlights, meaning that you were watching silhouettes. Also, we usually join in with daytime activities, but we couldn't hear what was being announced, and the animation team didn't come round encouraging people to get involved. That said, we really did have a lovely time and I think if you have young children, it would be the perfect place to stay.
    Wonderful holiday

    Just about to leave and thought I’d write a review We came as s family my husband and three kids aged 3, 12, 14 Firstly the swimming pools , brilliant but cold at first as with all pools but clean and perfect for our 3 year old as they have shallow paddling pools , 3 in all one under a canopy and the other has small slides and another with sand area. They then had a large lagoon shape pool with one end for water polo. Then another large pool at other end with swim up bar and another paddling pool , also a huge fountain in middle. Then there is a huge water park with every slide you can think of from small to huge! Food was very nice buffet style a kids section buffet bar our 3 year old loved it picking his own food ! Also themed nights There is a Turkish restaurant you can visit once a week very nice and pizzeria one visit also. Entertainment brilliant for our 3 year old he loved the clowns coco and Charlie lots of fun dances and shows but aimed for younger children not teenagers. Kids club was brilliant we sent our 3 year old most mornings 10-12 and it’s run so well he came out with stuff he had made absolutely top class ! Plus themed mornings also you can book them in for afternoon all free . Some payable activities if you want like chocolate party !! 😍 Rooms very clean every day if you put light on , tea and coffee free but no mini bar but has a fridge. We went on pirate trip lots of fun our teenagers loved it more than 3 year old as they got to jump in sea off my the boat Only complaint is the 2nd week they ran out of certain drinks and also turned air con off last 3 days also as it’s closing down you feel they are packing away things and obvious it’s end of season this is there last week in October half term ! Also we had a problem with mosquitos bring repellent !!! Lots of wasps apparently it’s insect season !! On whole tho a fab holiday
    Perfect break

    We booked this holiday having never visited Turkey before so unsure what to expect. We need need not have worried. The holiday was absolutely fantastic, the hotel, food, surroundings and staff were nothing short of excellent. Nothing was too much and we were always greeted with a smile. The cleanliness was spot on. The toilets were constantly being cleaned and always looked and smelt fresh. Our rooms (we were a party of 7 so 2 rooms next to each other as requested 👌) were cleaned every day and fresh towels provided every day. Simple things like Dove handwash and Lux shower gel in each room makes such a difference. The food was always fresh and a great choice with something for everyone. The waffle bar and ice creams were a huge hit with our kids! If I had to give one slight negative it would be the entertainment was aimed at the very young children with the odd exception of a couple of nights. The end of season performance by all the TUI staff however was outstanding and fantastic to watch with lots of work put into the performance. We would most definitely look at booking away for next year, thank you to all the staff who work so hard to ensure a great holiday is had, you are all a credit to the hotel.
