forgot to mention that it is around 2hours 30 minutes transfer from bodrum airport and there is a hotel run kids club (not first choice) I have read that it is more aimed for the dutch children, this didnt put me off though as i'm sure there will be plenty to do

I am taking a 4 year old and a 7 year old, someone told me that the childrens club did not take 4 year olds is this true? mind you 2 and a half hours on the coach after the flight might be a little too much for them.

the club is hotel run and i think they do take children from 4 years old. i know its quite a long journey after the flight but you do stop for a comfort break on the way, hopefully the kids will sleep as well.
I go next week and will check out the kids club but wont be too dissapointed if its not suitable for my 4 year old as had heard it was mostly for the dutch kids anyway.
if you want me to find out anything else let me know.

Have just booked to go to Aquafantasy and after using this site last year to get vary good information on my hols last year just wanted to know what people though, anything to give a miss, anything to definatlt do and any tips, also did anyone find a good day trip agent in Kusadasi that did the boat trips and scube etc. Don't like using tour agent ones they are always over priced and over loaded. Thanks in advance Carl

In Kusadasi the cheapest way to do it is to wander down to the causeway to Bird island after 6pm and do the deal direct with the boat owners, and don't forget to haggle if you have kids, we got our two for free. Much cheaper than booking through any agent.

Hi nick

I've book the Aqua Fantasy for August. From what I've found out, the resort is geared mainly for the Dutch and German, but they have English-speaking staff on site and can cater for the Brits.

From what I can gather, the kids club is run by an external company, and is aimed at the dutch-speaking kids, but again they can easily accomodate us Brits.

There are mixed reports on the food. Some people have said that it's not that good, then other people say it's excellent (depends on what you are used to really). The (inclusive) bars close dead-on 11pm.

The waterpark is open to the paying public, but hotel guests have a special entrance to the park. Someone has said that the paying public get into the waterpark an hour before the hotel guests are allowed, but I don't know how true it is.

I was at Pegasos Palace 2 years ago and loved it (apart from the freezing cold pools).

Hi, I have just booked what I think is a bargain to the Aqua Fantasy Hotel, 2 weeks 9th July 2007 £1400! (There is still some left) We are a family of four with 2 boys 9 and 13. Have done a little research and found there is a lot more to this site than advertised. Also First Choice are this year running their own childrens club and this does include a club for TEENAGERS, which was a concern for my 13 year old. This was not originally our first choice hotel but I have to say we are all excited now as its only 2 weeks away. Is there anyone going the same time as us? Would like to hear from you. Sue
