DO NOT GO HERE!!
There are so many bad things that i dont know where to start. At first we had to wait for 2 hours to get our room since our double room was taken by someone else. No welcome drink. There are only 2 elevators so prepare to wait 10 minutes to use them. The food was so bad. Everyday the same boring food. No fish! Ice cream you get only from 4pm to 5pm and have to wait for 20 minutes for cheapest ice creams. There is something very wrong with main restaurant since after 2 days staying the whole family had diarrhea. You get 1 x A-la Carte and we were served canned tuna on Ala Carte Fish Restaurant. The coctails were all diluted and not much alcohol werent put in them. 5 euro per hour to play biliardo and you have to go to the other side of building at recepcion to pay it. The kindergarden has no air condition. The fontane at kids pools only works 3 hours a day from 11am to 2pm.
If you are a family Please do not go.
Vacation is once a year and its not a joke!!

### Location and Accessibility: 7/10
Situated in Side, Turkey, Rayman and Aqua Resort offers a picturesque setting with a splendid beachfront, though it’s a bit of a trek from Antalya Airport at approximately 1h 15m. While the resort’s beach is commendable, its location warrants a 7/10.
### Accommodations: 3/10
The accommodations provided were subpar. Our room was cramped, further strained by an additional low-quality bed for our child. With no view to boast of and occasional lapses in housekeeping services, it’s a 3/10 for this category.
### Dining and Cuisine: 5/10
The main restaurant struggles with guest capacity during peak hours, leading to a chaotic dining experience. The food quality was mediocre and lacked variety, failing to capture the local cuisine's richness. The a la carte restaurant’s Mexican option was disappointingly inauthentic. However, some main courses were enjoyable. The snack bar and ice cream station were standard, but issues with minibar restocking were noted.
### Entertainment and Activities: 7/10
The resort offers a variety of entertainment options, particularly appealing to children. The kids' club, though seemingly basic, was a hit with our younger family members. Evening entertainment was repetitive but occasionally livened up with acrobat shows, earning a 7/10.
### Pools and Beach Access: 8/10
The resort excels with its extensive swimming pools and enjoyable beach area, despite some crowding. Proximity to the beach could be an issue for some, as it’s a 550m walk from the rooms. Nevertheless, it’s a solid 8/10 in this category.
### Spa and Wellness: Not Evaluated
We opted not to use the spa services due to a persistent sales approach. The gym was found to be lacking in equipment.
### Staff and Service: 6/10
The staff were generally friendly, though language barriers, especially with the waiting staff, made interactions challenging at times. The team appeared overworked, impacting their ability to maintain consistent friendliness.
### Family-Friendliness: 7/10
The resort is very much geared towards families, offering numerous child-friendly activities. However, the variety in meals for young children was limited.
### Sustainability and Environmental Practices: 5/10
Sustainability practices were hard to gauge as a guest, but the visible use of plastic and food wastage were areas of concern.
### Value for Money: 8/10
The resort offers a competitive all-inclusive package, providing good value for money, especially when compared to similar resorts in other European countries.
### Safety and Security: 8/10
Security measures at the resort were reassuring, ensuring a safe environment for guests.
### Internet and Connectivity: 0/10
Internet services were extremely poor, with low speeds and instability, particularly during peak usage times.
### Conclusion: 6/10
Rayman and Aqua Resort provides a satisfactory family holiday experience, boasting fantastic aquatic facilities and a beautiful location. However, improvements are needed in food quality, staff engagement, and internet services. Despite its flaws, the resort leaves a lasting positive impression, particularly for children.

We stayed here from Sep 06 to Sep 18.
Territory: It is clean. Big enough. The sea is quite far to walk. All bars and snacks are on the way.
Food: I can say the food was tasty, medium variety, but the cleanliness in dining room needs to improve.
Staff: I think the staff is not enough, they are working hard, but on overloaded period you have to wait.
Pool: We never used main pool. The greatest part of the hotel is aqua slide, they are great for all kind of children and adults!
Sea and Beach: The beach is big. It’s hard to find an empty place, because all places are occupied. The sea was warm, but sometimes with big waves.
Room: At first they gave us a room on second floor, these rooms are horrible. Full of moisture and from the balcony there is a big noisy AC cooler of a neighbor hotel. We asked the reception staff to change. After two days we got a room on 4th floor. It was way better. Try to avoid first two floors if possible.
Wifi: Internet worked fine all time, never had connection problems. It’s FREE on whole territory, even in our room there was a good signal.
Overall the hotel left positive experience for us. Don’t expect super luxury service as It’s a low budget hotel.

Our first holiday in Turkey, we were 5 adults and a child, our experience was very nice, we were all very pleased with the size of the hotel, the service of the staff and their wonderful massage (which we got a welcome gift), the activities they were varied at every hour of the day, the food was plentiful and varied, we did not like the quality of the sausages, except for one of us who did not like the food (a matter of taste), we all liked the food very much. The day at Al cart (fish dishes) was really special and very well organized as we also had our son's birthday which they had organized very well, there was also a children's menu.
We got two rooms, one was a family room where two single beds were placed at the entrance, then there was a toilet and at the end the room with a door and a balcony (plenty of space), the other room was a standard double room.
For our birthday, we were served drinks and fresh fruits in the room (these were surprises from the hotel).
The pools were large and the most beautiful was the children's pool, which had a pirate theme.
The sea was good for those who know how to swim, not very suitable for children.

The reason we picked Raymar Hotel in Manavgat was bcz of its family friendly features. We were 3 separate families with 8-10 children and the experience we had were amazing. Raymar is run by really good people from the owners of the hotel I met by chance, the reception team, the amazing animation team and general service. Special thanks to Serife, the reservation manager, who went over and above making sure we are happy. The hotel has its own access to beach, activities slides, big garden and kids loved it. Above all we also enjoyed delicious food. Thanks to amazing team in Raymar and hope to see you definitely soon again.
