New Giant Waterpark in Turkey: What Awaits Holidaymakers.

According to The Sun: Expect fountains, rides, and fun for all on the Aegean coast.

I'm trying to hide my nerves as I jump into an inflatable ring to ride down a slide called King Cobra.

I'm with my six-year-old daughter Poppy on the fifth floor and ready for the plunge - and suddenly, we drop down the slide.

As we bounce up on the other side, we feel an unexpected splash of water in our faces from the snake's fangs.

“I love this!” Poppy screams, and honestly, I'm having fun too!

We are at the new Anda Barut hotel that opened last year near Didim on the Aegean coast, and it really is a fairy-tale location.

Water Attractions

There are eight large slides and six smaller ones, as well as a splash pad, so we will definitely not be bored.

Poppy has already reached a height of 120 cm, so she can ride most slides.

The 'Black Hole' slides became our favorites, especially one that tosses us around like in a vortex.

Even during peak summer holidays, we rarely encounter queues, especially in the morning.

Despite the large size of this resort with more than 500 rooms and villas, we always find a sunbed by our favorite lagoon-style pool framed by golden sand, where the bar serves delicious Jungle Bird cocktails based on Campari.

This resort is famous for its fantastic pools — there are eight, including a large indoor pool in the spa.

The pricier rooms have private pools, adding a touch of luxury.

Our room is spacious, with a rain shower, wardrobe, and a mini-bar filled with snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks.

At Olivae Patisserie, tasty cold coffees, handcrafted truffles, and large bowls of chocolate almonds provide us with joy every morning and evening.

Fun Entertainment

As the sun sets, Anda Barut transforms into a carnival zone, as if celebrating a star child's birthday.

The scent of cotton candy wafts through the air along the festooned paths leading to a stylish white carousel, caterpillar slide, and inflatable balls.

Children's discos with Sonic and friends are held on stage, as well as classic carnival games.

Driving 'dodgems' with a six-year-old behind the wheel is a unique experience, and my testimony about a whiplash is quickly compensated with a handful of fresh popcorn.

Every morning, it's a real race to book one of the eight à la carte restaurants via the app.

Among the best are Tiger, serving sushi, beef gyoza, and chicken in sweet and sour sauce, and Cape Beach Lounge – with specialties like sea bass and Peruvian chicken.

A cocktail with sea cucumber and gin here turns out to be a true delight.

We also enjoy breakfast in 'Turkish' style with a sea view at Fish Camp — an excellent alternative to the buffet, while lunch at the Italian restaurant No Se features wood-fired pizzas.

I had hoped to visit the ruins near the Temple of Apollo, once one of the largest temples of the ancient world, but the site was closed for renovation during our visit. Instead, we headed to swim in the sea before the Gipsy Kings flamenco group performance.

During the dancing under the stars at Bamboléo, I wish those moments of dancing under the moonlight could last forever.
