We have just returned from 4 nights at the Aqua Hotel, and can recommend it. It can't be beat for location -
central as can be but quiet, and right on the beach, but with a beautiful garden separating the hotel and the beach. The hotel is spotlessly clean in the public areas as well as the rooms and the airconditioning in the rooms is self-controlled (not always the case in Turkey).

The pool is big and, again, perfectly clean (and quiet. No animation team. This suited us perfectly, but some people may be looking for it. If so, the Aqua is not for you). There was the usual and very annoying problem of getting a sunbed by the pool, but this is mainly caused by people who are afraid that they won't get a sunbed putting their towels down at 7:00 a.m. and then going back to bed/to eat breakfast or whatever
and not coming back for hours.

The staff were very helpful with any problem that came up (a leaky airconditioning unit and non-functioning min-bar were repaired within an hour of reporting). As a result of the airconditioner leaking, the carpet was wet and the next day started to emit strong mildew smells and even though the hotel was full, both of our rooms were changed to keep us next door to our children.

The food was fine, very plentiful and varied..every night that we were there there were totally different salads and main courses, and there are "theme nights"
where the food that evening is based on a certain countries cuisine. The only minus is that the airconditioning in the main dining room cannot cope if it is really hot (and it was), making dinner a bit uncomfortable. Our tip is to go down to dinner early and get one of the tables outside in the open air and lovely sea breeze.

If you would like a very nice and elegant dinner, there is a separate "a la carte" restaurant in the hotel, at no extra charge. You only need to reserve a place by 5:00 p.m the day before. The room is beautiful (and the airconditioning is fine as it is smaller)and the food is very good. It makes for a nice change, however, the meal takes quite a bit of time, with the various courses, so it would be a good idea to not have plans set at a certain time for afterwards so you don't feel rushed. Very enjoyable indeed.

We would most certainly stay at the Aqua Hotel again.
