Batihan Vadi Hotel

We booked a year ago via Jet2. Two adults and one teen. We arrived late and was driven by the golf buggy to our premium villa. Wow just wow - incredible .. huge, so clean and the pool was a great size. Breakfast - O Garden- you stroll down or what’s app for a buggy- so much choice !!! Lunch- we ate at Roldofo - pizza/ burgers and cocktails! Evening meal - O’ Garden or Radika - everything is fresh/ homemade. My husband is the fussiest eater and he hasn’t stopped talking about how wonderful the food has been. So much meat! For us the one person who stood out was Mehmet- he speaks perfect English and will do anything to make you have the best stay. It was our birthdays recently so he organised flowers/ wine and homemade VADİ Olive oil for us. Beach- this is at the sister hotel called BATIHAN and here was treated like celebrities ! The car drives you there in 10 minutes - walks you in and introduces you. This is all inclusive for us too - Mehmet called the manager there UTKU and my gosh he was amazing. Escorted us around, gave us a special sectioned off section on the beach, bought fruit platters and cocktails. When we was ready the driver came back and took us back to VADİ. We went into the town once and it was 10 Euro each way. Soooooo much shopping of fake things it was a bit full on. Another night we went to the Marina and ate at Trunch - this was beautiful we was taken care of so well by Mohamed. On our last day we had to check out at 12 but didn’t have a transfer booked until 18:00 so I felt abit stressed by that. Jet 2 did not tell us about it and usually we keep our room but they are fully booked which I appreciate as there is so much cleaning to do for the next guest when you leave the villa. So we had breakfast and Alper the lifeguard at the gym greeted us as soon as we came in. He gave us towels and put three sunbeds in the sun next to their pool. We are the only ones there. There is a cafe and your all inclusive until you go home so Alper was bringing us drinks and checking on us. So friendly and helpful ! So I write this from the sun lounger and I’m really sad to be going home later this evening - it was a lot of money to come here but truely believe it was worth every penny - the food, the staff, the drinks, the special gestures from Mehmet - nothing is too much trouble ! The villa will blow you away and I even told the big owner this - he was lovely so grateful to hear that we loved it here ! I would like to come back next year and maybe book direct with the hotel ! Thank you so much Team VADİ and BATIHAN beach you are all incredible people !!!!! Love villa 49 (Damien, Lucie & Sienna)

We booked this last-minute, looking for an affordable family getaway—and on that front, Batihan Vadi delivers. It was part of an all-inclusive Jet2 package, and as first-timers, we were genuinely impressed with the overall value for money. The hotel has a boutique vibe despite its all-inclusive setup, which really appealed to us. It’s a small resort and appears to be a popular weekend retreat for locals—a detail we took as a positive. Though it could be busy at times, it still retained a relaxed, intimate feel, which we appreciated. The staff were warm and accommodating, particularly the lifeguard at the family pool, who was fantastic with the kids. Our boys felt truly welcomed and had plenty to do—even without using the kids’ club, which they had little interest in and never attended. To be fair, the club seemed more appropriate for children under six, even though it’s technically open to kids up to ten. The food was a strong point, with all meals freshly made to order from a large menu. However, be aware of what's actually included in the all-inclusive deal—it wasn’t clearly explained to us, and we likely incurred some accidental charges. It wasn’t until our final day that we learned there’s a separate all-inclusive drinks list. That said, even the extras were quite affordable compared to other resorts we've stayed at. The kitchen was flexible with requests—very helpful with our picky eaters. They offer reliable staples like pizza and pasta (lifesavers), but don’t expect classic “kids’ menu” items like chicken nuggets. The ordering system also felt unnecessarily complex, which led to occasional confusion and food waste. The spa was a delight, especially the family hammam and deep tissue massages. But the real highlight of our stay was the family pool—we enjoyed it so much that we barely touched the other activities on offer, which include a mini-zoo, horse riding, archery, mini-golf, and evening entertainment like the kids’ disco and karaoke. That said, while the hotel has a lot going for it, I wouldn’t consider it 5-star. Like another reviewer (Nicola S) noted, there’s quite a bit that could be improved. Some areas felt a bit worn, which we expected at this price point. WhatsApp communication was efficient and handy, but language barriers and a lack of detailed explanations occasionally impacted our experience. Some parts of the resort felt deserted unless pre-booked, and several features weren’t included in the all-inclusive offering, which wasn’t always made clear. Our biggest issue was the room. While it looked stylish, it wasn’t comfortable. There was often a strong sewage smell—likely due to poor ventilation in the plumbing—and we struggled with the overly complicated electric system, especially the AC. The hard pillows and absence of proper bed covers made for a poor night’s sleep, and unfortunately, none of us rested well during the stay. Overall, we found great value for money and don’t regret the trip—but due to the room comfort issues, we don’t plan to return. That said, everyone’s expectations are different, and you do get what you pay for. For many, especially those prioritizing budget and family-friendly amenities, Batihan Vadi still has a lot to offer.
