We spent a week in DreamWorld Aqua in July and we felt fantastic. We usually choose a new destination for every summer holiday, this was the first time we’d said we would gladly come back here. True, there are a few things which could be disturbing for others and it is good to know about them in advance. As I was very grateful for the many reviews I’d read before booking, I’d like to give a detailed description to help others decide when choosing their destination. LOCATION, ACCOMMODATION: The hotel is about a 1-hour-ride from Antalya airport. It’s not directly on the beach. There’s a busy 4-lane street in front of it. You can find a supermarket, taxi rank, bus stop and lots and lots of shops nearby. We’d booked a superior room (we usually do so, to avoid rooms e.g. near the kitchen or other uncomfortable places). We were satisfied, it was in one of the annex buildings. Superior here meant a bigger size, the furniture, design etc. was quite the same as in the standard rooms. First it felt strange that the corridor of the building could be reached without entering the hotel itself (though it was within the hotel’s premises), but it proved to be a good choice. It was the furthest room from the busy street, there were rooms only on one side of the corridor and we also had two sofas in the room (apart from the double bed and the single bed we needed). I guess these rooms could well accommodate a family of 5. The mattresses were comfortable. There were no duvets, just thin blankets. The bathroom was small, but clear. The air conditioning worked properly, it could be adjusted as you wanted to. The balcony was narrow, but it didn’t matter, we never spend any time on a hotel room’s balcony. The room faced the pools, it was the nearest one to the slides and the entertainment stage. It was noisy till 11 pm, after that time the programmes stopped and there was no music at all, but before that everything could clearly be heard. With a 12-year-old it didn’t matter at all, we didn’t go to bed early, but for families with smaller children it is worth considering before choosing a room. We also took earplugs which proved to be useful, as there are countless hotels and clubs nearby, and they could somewhat be heard. FOOD: We had all inclusive service, which meant there’s practically not a minute when you can be hungry . It is true that the food is repetitive, but the variety is so wide that you can eat different things every day, if you taste 2-3 things on one occasion. Everything was tasty and the staff were really quick and helpful when serving us. Though meals come in buffet form, the waiters bring the drinks to your table. Apart from the food in the usual hotel containers, there are always a few dishes that are prepared there in the restaurant or by the pool (that’s where they have the barbecue/grill). The restaurant and the pool snack bar were really very busy when the meal times started, if you don’t like when it’s crowded and noisy, it is worth waiting an
