Batihan Vadi Hotel

It is like paradise. Wonderful environmemt and facilities and great staff. We especially like to thank ahmet, mert, rifot and Ozzy for the wonderful service.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and has a very relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent. we loved homemade lemonade. The restaurant service was warm, cozy, and very welcoming, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this is a place we truly liked and would happily return to.

We had 10 wonderful days here as a family of 5 (children aged 12, 9 and 5) and we were made to feel like VIPs! The complex was very quiet as the full holiday season in Turkey doesn’t start until 1st May. The service and attentiveness from all staff was superb. Dining and drinks every day were unlimited with plenty of options and all delicious including the branded cocktails and milkshakes! Dining is à la carte at every meal and not like any other all-inclusive I have known. The activities on-site are all included unlimited and for free (so not like Center Parcs in that regard! 😜) We enjoyed padel, tennis, table tennis, basketball, heated pool for indoor swimming, mini golf and free bike hire. We also enjoyed the Turkish spa for Hamam, facials and massages which were wonderful and very reasonably priced. Also, there are small stalls on-site where the children enjoyed pottery and jewellery-making plus a small arcade which has a token system. I enjoyed the on-site gym most days (again, all included in the price) and there are fitness classes available too. Special mention to Ahmet our lovely breakfast waiter, Mert/ Marty and Ozzy who were excellent and attentive hosts; always helpful, friendly and offering advice and impeccable service. There are three restaurants to choose from and the food we experienced at all three was fantastic. We also enjoyed Turkish breakfast in our villa as part of the all inclusive offer. The villa was amazing; large, cleaned daily with fresh towels, robes and slippers also provided daily and the minibar stocked daily too if required. The villa is comfortable and very modern. I would note there are no English TV channels except news (apparently on an Android phone it is possible to access Netflix etc but we could not). There is a private jacuzzi (the pool in our villa (42) could not be heated but in some villas this is possible for an extra charge - I would recommend requesting this before your stay if required. The complex itself is beautiful and serene; lots of wildlife and nestled amongst the mountains in a valley where olive trees are aplenty. Most days the only sounds were from the birds! We explored off-site a little in Kusadasi beach, harbour and old town but you could easily stay on-site and have plenty to do. Taxis to Kusadasi were around 350 TRL depending how far into the town you travelled. We were all inclusive through Jet 2 for flights and private transfer but I think possibly booking direct with the hotel might offer a better deal and it would be easy to organise a taxi transfer from Izmir airport. We didn’t utilise Jet 2 staff or services at all.

We have almost finished a most wonderful stay at the Batihan Vadi hotel, near Izmir. This is not like any other All Inclusive experience; Turkish breakfast is immense and served at the O Garden or in your private villa. Lunch, drinks, cocktails and snacks are available all day from obliging and dedicated staff. The children loved all of the available activities: padel, tennis, mini golf, bicycles, indoor pool, gym, basketball, table tennis and the kids club/ crèche. This was a perfectly relaxing week, surrounded by nature and wonderful Turkish hospitality. Special thanks to Ahmet our breakfast waiter every day who was so kind, helpful and obliging. Also special thanks to Ozzy and Necati who were our wonderful evening meal waiters. Ozzy was so chatty and fun with our youngest son! Also, one evening, the hotel opened up the Leora wine bar restaurant just for us- it was like exclusive dining with beautiful Italian food and recommended wine pairings- thanks to Mert / Marty who served us on this evening. Also thanks to the general manager Hakan who helped when I fell ill and took great care of us all; he and Ahmet going above and beyond to help and ensure we were well taken care of. The animation team are also very helpful and will do anything to make your stay more enjoyable and fun. We had a lovely spa experience as a family in the hamam Turkish baths and my wife and daughters had massages, facials and full Turkish spa which was lovely too. Would highly recommend but would state this is not a typical all inclusive hotel at all; private villas and à la carte dining set it apart. The entertainment is quiet and at your own pace and volume. It was very quiet when we visited as the season hasn’t fully started but we definitely hope to return again! We took taxis to ladies beach and the marina plus an organised electric bike tour with “Joyride bike tours and andventures” and would highly recommend this also. Otherwise, we had a wonderful relaxing week staying on the BATIHAN VADİ complex. Thank you to all for wonderful care and amazing stay.

A heartfelt thank you to Mert, Ahmet and Rıfat from the restaurant team at Batihan Vadi Hotel. Our stay started with some rather grey weather, but thanks to the whole team, we barely noticed. Mert, Ahmet and Rıfat stood out with their especially warm and attentive service, but every single staff member we encountered was friendly and caring. You could feel that the entire team works with real dedication. Thank you all – you made our stay truly special! 🙏
