Hi Lynda,
1) no real dress code, I wore long trousers or 3/4 but some people were turning up in shorts, lunch time in the buffet is supposed to be ncovered up ie not just bikini's and swim shorts but again some were going in straight off the beach.
2) didnt notice times for the towel just after 10 am as this is when all the pool bars open, 8.5 ytl so as many as you need then you changed them when needed and once you said you were returning them they gave you towel cards which reception knocked off your bill on checkout,
3) not sure how much turkish bath was but the hamam (steam room) was free on the AI basis, I went down to the town in one of the side streets and it cost 15 ytl (£6) but i also spent another 15 ytl on an oil massgae after, very nice and very relaxing, at the end they could have said 50 ytl and i would have agreed to anything.
4) loads of places in Kusadasi will do free pick up and return service just give them a call to book which night. If you go down town via dolmus (2.5ytl ea) just ask chappy on duty where he would recopmend and he will proberbly have some discount cards for you. FItaxi 20 ytl
5) A La Cartes are extra but drinks are still alll inc. prices from 10ytl to 20 ytl for the steak house, think chinese was 16 ytl with the fish and meze being the 10ytl, these have to be booked one day before and are not open on wednesdays (Turkish Night)
6) Late check outs can not be booked until the day before check out, 50 ytl until 6pm no later, at first they said i could not have one, I then offered to move rooms for the late check out and this prompted them to see if they could move the next family to another room and put a later arival in mine so i kept my room.
Hope this helps any more questions please do not hesistae, and i Know i have yet to write my review and will get round to this soon i promise.
Slightly off topic i know but i will be quick - shop keepers in Kusadasi not that pushy, if you do not want it opr they will not come down in price to what you want to pay then just say no thank you and walk away, we never had any problems
Carl - thanks so much for replying in such detail. It's people like yu that make it so much easier for those of us travelling in the future. I'm sure I'll think of some more things to ask as time goes on

Next question already
Did there seem to be any problem with ear infections? At Pegasos this year it was RIFE and out of the 5 kids in our party 4 ended up with it to some degree

Nothing major, we had the same problem with pegasos last year. Think I knew of two or three cases at aqua in the two weeks, definatley not the epidemic we saw at pegasos
Hi
Does anyone have any idea of how much money we should take with us. We are going for a fortnight in June and not planning on doing any excursions as my youngest is 3 and she would be moaning and whingeing!!!
We do plan to go to Kusadasi town but that's about it.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Nia

Hi nia we're going in June too 
Can someone give me some idea of what room to request please, either world or club side. We like to overlook the pool or sea if possible and like it quite quiet as we normally retire just before 11 ish as the kids get too tired any later.

Nia, it all depends on what you will buy then, bus into town is £1 each or taxi is £8. ice creams canyflosses etc are all around the £1.50 - £2 mark at the hotel. You can pick up some good bargains at the market in town but my advice is dont change too much money before you go as it is a better exchange rate when you are out their and if you take sterling then their is nothing to lose if you bring it back with you, also if you take your credit card so if you do have a spending spree just use a cash point.
Pample, most of the rooms are away from the night time entertainment so they all should be fine. Their are only a few rooms that have a sea view and most of these are suits. you would have a better chance of a pool view being on the world side though. my son brought back a plan of the hotel so i will try copy it and upload it for you to have a look.

I have boys who will be 11 and 8 and boy/girl twins who will be just 6.
We went to Lykia World this year and that was fabulous. I'm not expecting the same standards here but was attracted by the waterpark as the kids loved the slides at lykia.

Pigeon Island is the place for the boat trips, most priced at 20 YTL ea, all incl. except beer and ice cream, just go down on a night time and pick the boat you like the look of, we went on big baba and this was fine. yes wind surfing is in the all incl. jet ski i think was £30 a session not to sure about that though it may have been 30 euro. As for other tips market is a good morning on a wednesday or friday its just up from where the dolmuss drops you off, everywhere excepts YTL, £ or Euro's. Pigeon Island is right at the bottom of town past the proper port, is you look on google earth or MSN live earth you can see this on there and also aqua fantasy but only half built, it's just north of Kusadasi follow the coast round and it's the second water park you come to. Have a nice time.

ooh yes, something to look forward to isn't it. It's always sad when the posts get few and far between over the winter.
Hi all!
It's still very quiet on this thread so I thought I'd get 2008 rolling!!
We're off to Aqua Fantasy for a week in August, me, hubby and 3 kids, 14.5, 10 and 8. Kids have no idea where we are going and am hoping to keep it that way until we pull up and they see the huge waterpark!! Have been to HV Turkey for the past 2 years so am looking forward to a change. Absolutely LOVE Turkey, just a shame we couldn't afford 2 weeks at AF (I think it was about £4k!). I think it's best to take Euros to this hotel? Perhaps someone can confirm...? And also are mozzies a particular problem here? HV Turkey was bad but we went well prepared so didn't have a problem. Just need to know if I need to start stocking up when Boots have 3for2's on!!

Hi Lynda,
We're off to AF for 2 weeks in August. I don't want to upset you but we're paying £2,450 for 2 adults + 2 kids (8 and 9). Mind you, we did book last August and got a free kid place. We've no idea what to expect from Turkey (apart from heat!) as we've been to Spain for the last 5 years. I'll be following this thread for any advice, and I'll be interested to see what people have to say about the work to enlarge the water park that's been mentioned on here.
160-odd sleeps to go, but who's counting!

Hi Harry,
the problem for us is that we are a family of 5 and that makes booking holidays a nightmare! AF has only a limited number of rooms that sleep 5 and even though we booked over a year in advance there were no family5 rooms left for a fortnight so it would have meant booking 2 rooms and paying for 4 of us as adults plus under-occupancy supplements, hence £4k. As it was by booking for a week we got the only family5 room left (for the whole of August!) and paid for 3 adults (my 14yr old is classed as an adult
) and one child, plus a free child place. Any holiday is ££££'s when you are more than 2A+2C !
I know that the water park/hotel was being extended but I'm sure this was completed before last season. TBH Turkey has regulations that prohibit building work happening in the main summer season so even if there is evidence of a building site there will be no work/noise disturbance to bother us.
We will be there from 21st til 29th August. Can't wait!
