Batıhan Vadi Hotel

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel with extensive grounds in a super family room overlooking the main pool (most people were staying in villas with their own pools). The shared pool was usually very peaceful and I loved that the baby ducklings sometimes shared it with us! Food and drink were great and the staff were very helpful. We especially loved the Wine Bar and were surprised that more people didn't go there. Lovely staff - especially Ali and Alpert ... but many others whose name I didn't get. It would be helpful if there was a hotel information booklet in the room including a list of restaurant options and how to book them. If I was to return I'd probably hire a car. We used taxis to visit Ephesus and Kusadasi but it would be lovely to explore more of the surrounding countryside and villages.

We went as a family of three in June 2025 on the AI package. It was far above and beyond any family All Inclusive I have been to before. All meals are a la carte, there is no buffets. The menu is extensive so you don't get bored of eating or drinking the same things day after day. They have light bites for lunch (or if you go to Rodolfo, they are more like bar meals - burgers, fried chicken etc), salads, hot and cold starters, pasta, pizza, grill, fish, Turkish specialities. Everything was delicious but my two favourites were, the seabass and the filet steak with fig sauce. We arrived very late on the first night so they had dinner sent to our room (no charge). Breakfast is offered without a room service charge every day. Lots of nice breakfast to choose from but the smoothie bowl was my favourite. We had a 2 + 1 villa (the smaller one of the two villa options) and it was contemporary, clean, well equipped, private, spacious grounds, perfect sized pool. There were only two sunbeds which i thought may be a problem for 3 of us but I am certain they'd have sent us an additional one if we had asked. As it turned out, I spent most of my time in the cabana and my daughter is a vampire so stayed indoors mostly, so a 3rd bed wasn't needed. The staff were remarkable, nothing was too much for them, they went out of their way to be helpful. Mr Hakan (not sure if I have spelt correctly) the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect holiday. Salem (again, not sure I have spelt this correctly) is just wonderful and because of the amazing staff, we will definitely be returning next year. All in all, the only downsides were: 1 - It was quite a walk to get drinks in the day, but we drink too much so the minibar might suffice for most. Also, the staff will send a golf buggy for you whenever you ask. 2 - Room service was very expensive. 3 - Lots of flies in the restaurant. None of the above were in any way enough to discourage me from returning, I loved the place and it was the most peaceful and relaxing holiday, which was exactly what we needed.

We had a great stay with my girlfriend. The food is delicious, the gym is top class (everything technogym) but what stroke me the most was the attentiveness of the animation team. Great job with great staff! Also the animals such as peacocks and mandarin ducks wandering around makes the atmosphere very unique. Must visit whether for a day trip in Kusadasi or for a long stay!
