We are in agreement with all the positive reviews, and felt we made a really good choice. From the location to the beach which was literally on the doorstep, the great choice and variety of food, the cleanliness, the facilities and the warm and efficient staff were all a welcome bonus which surpassed our expectations. The only negative was the reception, on arrival we were the only ones checking in, but the lady did not fully or clearly explain the many lovely aspects of the hotel. It never felt welcoming, and is the only area for much improvement. Yes, everything can be improved if you are picky, but when you consider what the hotel offers it's guests, it's no wonder people return year after year. A special mention has to go to the entertainment team who gets everyone (who wants to) involved in a huge variety of events through out the day, and the evening shows were also very good. We took the bus into Marmaris which is cheap and only around a 10-15 min ride. It's much bigger and busier than Icmeler with a vibe and shops to match, but we preferred the relative peace and quite of the Aqua. All the staff were friendly and had a genuine desire to make everyone's holiday something to remember. Too many to mention, but George the pool man, Ishak, our maid Merol and the BBQ man (sorry I've forgotten his name) certainly went out their way for us. BTW, the lamb and chicken kebabs were delicious. Yes, there were towels on the sunbeds around the pool from very early, but the place never felt crowded as there were other areas to enjoy with plenty of clean comfortable loungers, and if this was not enough, there's always the sandy beach. We hope to return one day, and would highly recommend this lovely hotel.
