Just returned from two weeks all inclusive at The Fantasia. We booked last minute, ten days before departure, after reading mostly positive reviews on a number or sites.

We flew from Birmingham to Izmir with Thomas Cook. The transfer from the airport to the hotel took around 1 hour 30 minutes, having had three drop offs en route. The transfer rep, Caroline was great, cheery and very informative about currency etc.

On arrival at the Fantasia, just after midnight, check in was quick and painless. The bell boy tagged our bags and said he would bring them to the room, which he did about 20 minutes later.

Our room on the sixth of eight floors was clean and tidy. The furniture was all in a kind of onyx veneer, but well kept and stylish in an 80

I got back from the Fantasia hotel last night and I thought it was sooo good! It was really fun. I only went with my mum and next year I would like to go back with friends and more family.

The hotel is really good for family's of all ages and there's something for everyone!

The hotel was really clean, the cleaner came in every morning and cleaned are rooms and changed are sheets gave us new towels and everything.

You can get a Dolmus to the town for about 40p there's so many shops! Also you can easily go on day trips to the aqua park or jeep safari or anywhere else.

The hotel staff are amazing there all really good especially the animation team who are a laugh, the entertainment in the evenings was so funny! There was different things every night such as belly dancers coming in, karaoke night and other things. The animation team also did lots of sports in the day such as table tennis, football and volleyball. Oscar is a laugh you could just sit and watch him dance all night! The little children do a few dances at the beginning of the night. On Turkish night there was a film crew and the children suddenly came to life as the cameras were on them!!!

The bar staff down by the big pool are nice too, one remembered what my mum used to drink and used to give it to her automatically. At the end of the entertainment you could get up with others and do a clap dance, and cha cha slide which was funny!

I recommend it to everyone, I definitely want to go back next year!!

The Hotel was faultless.

Rooms cleaned, and linen changed daily.

The Staff all spoke perfect English and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Food was 'outstanding'. The perfect place to go either as a Family or as a couple.

I have only one suggestion! The Hotel should be renamed 'PARADISE HOTEL'. That is what this place truly was. Paradise. Superb!!!

The hotel was spotless and most definately 5 star in every aspect. The food was excellent so much choice and variety and even with 3 children aged 17 14 and 11 there was always lots to choose from.The staff were very good and always pleasant. The service was excellent. The quality and standard of food was 5 star.

The freshly cooked fried eggs omelettes and drop pancakes for breakfast were wonderful. The jacket potatoes ,crepes and pizza by the pool in the afternoon were superb and not to be missed. The Turkish
night was very good espicially when all the staff lined up and presented themselves on stage at 12.30am with the 5 tier cake thay then cut up and passed around.(Some of these same staff started work again in just a few hours) This hotel is superb and value for money we will most certainly go back next year as will a lot of friends we met there. If you are looking for luxury this is not to be missed.

I did not find Turkey cheap and would reccomend anyone to go to this 5 star hotel de luxe. Hotel Fantasia (Hotel Fantastic)Free Turkish Bath every day if you wish and reasonable priced heakth and beauty packages. The swimming pools were very clean and well maintained. In addition to the pool side bars plenty of squash machines located around each pool for the kids. The entertainment was very good and the animation team worked very hard.

Well, I’ve just read all the other reviews and you would have thought hotel Fantasia should have been on holidays from hell, but I do not agree!

The hotel was fantastic. There was not one thing wrong.

As for food, you could eat what you wanted when you wanted and there was a wide variety for all age groups. The drinks were good, all the American brands but the alcohol was a bit weak so I would suggest getting a neat vodka as well. Apart from that they were very good.

The hotel is situated in a good place but you cannot walk to the local town of Kusadasi but that is no trouble because you can jump on a dolmus bus for 40p each and it will take you everywhere, they're brilliant so try it, you will have great fun.

If you walk along the beach to the left you will come across a small shopping bizarre where you can buy almost anything so give that a try.

I believe you have to be a fun and an outgoing person to enjoy the entertainment so if you get involved you will love it.

As for the staff they are all wonderful so get chatting to them.

There are 2 out door pools, if you like to play games and chat to the animation team (who are all lovely and friendly) I would sit by the larger pool and if you like the quieter atmosphere I suggest you sit round the smaller pool. You can always get a sun bed but if you would like one right by the pool you will need to get up a little bit earlier.

We could not fault the Fantasia or Flyoo/Sun Wings (Tour Operator. We would definately recommend this hotel to anybody, in our opinion its 5 Star status is justified.

Cleanliness especially in the bedrooms excellent. Food good variety, freshly cooked at Dinner ( Barbecued meats, Pastas etc) and at breakfast (Omelettes, Eggs etc). Lack of chips (For those English with withdrawl symptoms, made up for by the widest variety of sweets and desserts that we have seen at any all-inclusive hotel.

You can sit out on the terraces overlooking the sea for breakfast and Evening Meal as well. Staff always pleasant, small tips probably help.

True that there is not a wide range of drinks available at all-inclusive, however this is the case in all hotels in Turkey. Tip, get two Vodka and Cokes plus a neat Vodka and top them up.

Swimming areas always clean, with towels always available, also man-made beach area is thoroughly cleaned and raked each morning.

Be sure to go on the Village Trip (To Sirince), with many stops on the way , grape picking, Walnut gathering etc. We booked in Ladies Beach with 'Nadia' of Sun Winds, all day for

We arrived after a night flight to the Hotel which on first impressions looked good.
Having requested a sea view Room we were taken to a room that joined the 2 buildings on the 3rd floor,the aircon didnt work and it was scruffy to say the least!!
We changed the room after a lot of hassle and moved into the new room at about lunchtime which was ok,but needed complete decoration.
The Hotel is at the very most at the bottom end of the 3 star rating and needs a complete refurbishment.
The food was ok ,fruit however was rotten most days on the buffet though ample lacked in any finnesse.
To sum up I wouldnt recommend this Hotel to anyone,The staff leave a lot too be desired and the alcohol is not worth drinking!!

Came home from this hotel in August 2004. The weather had been great so things always seem better when the sun has been shining for two weeks, but it didn't make up for the fact that this was no 5 star hotel. There was nothing really bad about it but nothing really good either.
Food was plentiful if not a bit repetitive.The free alcohol was quite poor especially the beer. The staff with a few exceptions couldn't really give a hoot, but in all fairness, in that heat and large distances to cover in the restaurant I think I would of been a bit fed up as well.
The room was ok, clean with fresh towels and most rooms have a side sea view.The electrics were apalling, hundreds of lightbulbs out in total at the hotel,our corridor was very dark.The hairdryer after numerous attempts by the staff to repair it never worked and the sound on the tv was too quiet to listen to. But hey who needs a tv on holiday anyway,but I do need a hairdryer!
The worst thing about the hotel was the evening entertainment. It was terrible. A mini disco everynight for the young ones at 9.30pm until 10pm. If I hear agadoo ever again I think I shall murder someone and then for the adults bingo, their idea of a comedy sketch or a quiz night, all badly done and it finished at midnight.Thank goodness the bus service there is brilliant so you can go into Kusadasi at night very cheaply.
The hotel has its own raised beach but unless you are a good and confident swimmer you wouldn't be swimming in the sea there as the drop into the water is too much for most children to attempt.
One more moan, unless you get up early and I mean really early the sun beds all have towels on them and as a family of 4 you could never sit together.So my partner got up a 6am every morning to claim our beds, if you can't beat them join them.
If your animal lovers like our family its's sad to see all the cats and kittens who hang around the hotel waiting to be fed.
But as I said in the beginning nothing was that bad that it ruined the holiday but I would not go back as it was not that good either but we did have a good time despite my moans.

After landing at Bodrum at dark o' clock, struggling through immigration queues and a 1 1/4 hour journey to Kusadasi in an air conditioned car, organised by Jetline, we were ready for anything.

Met on the steps of the hotel by a porter who took the cases out, = friendly reception staff at 6 o'clock? I was amazed.
No wrist bands or "Colditz Clamps" to wear.

After booking in we were told that breakfast wasn't served until 7.30, but "just go through to the restaurant and help yourselves", was just the right start.

The bags were taken to the room, which we found to be spotless. It took us 2 days to realise that we went down to our room in the lift. A free safe (20euro deposit,refunded at end)

The reception area has a few small shops opposite the reception desk, with no hassle from the shopkeepers.

The food in the restaurant is buffet style with a very good selection of hot, Turkish food, a B-B-Q outside on the terrace, and an a la carte restaurant(bookable at reception), which opened on the day we left. (Unable to comment on this)

The front of the hotel has well laid out gardens, well worth a stroll through, and tennis courts closer to, the main Kusadasi road. The hotel has a raised beach, levelled off, with a volley ball court, Boulle and free sunbeds. It's quite a drop into the sea, although not too deep, and difficult to get out for the little ones. Drop 'em in after breakfast and the rest of the day is your own.

A beautiful hotel with a good animation team who will keep you active enough to burn off the calories. Aqua aerobics, beach volley, pool games, table tennis, boulle and darts (only one set).

There are 3 outdoor pools, a kiddies pool and a fair sized indoor pool with a bar and excellent snack restaurant for lunch. ), plenty of sun loungers with decent thickness mattress, and large towels provided.

Two pool-side bars, and several others. Use the small circular pool bar for your 4.o'clock Jacket spuds or the large pool bar for pittas.

No queueing for your drinks at the bars.

I tried posting pics in the album, but no joy, so have a look at these (if it's allowed).

If you want a few more, let me know.

Drop the bar staff and waiters a 5 euro tip at the start of the jolly and you will be looked after even better than normal, and service is VERY good normally. We'd been there 4 days before we spent any cash.

Your stay ends at 10.00, so it's well worth the extra payment of 20 or so euros to retain the room till night time, although there is a reasonably priced taverna at the end of the driveway.

Don't feed the hotel cats - they'll have your fingers off!

A dolmus stops outside the hotel.

Don't miss Ephesis - but do it by Dolmus.

Market day in Kusadasi is Friday - Take an empty suitcase.

All things considered, we will definitely be returning to the Fantasia - when we've lost some weight.
