    Never stayed there but World of Wonders (WOW) in Bodrum gets some pretty good reviews on Trip Advisor.

    846 reviews with 88% marking 'excellent' or 'very good' and only 2% 'terrible'.

    Do you have a budget?

    Ooh we looked at turkey but have booked the hv in Kos. My mum and dad have stayed and and highly highly recommended barut Lara beach resort and spa for kids.

    They said it was amazing but was too expensive for us (@4k for a week).
    If not the turkey Holiday villages are getting good reports on the first choice FB page from previous customer. Enjoy your hols.

    Good luck getting somewhere all in for the 4 of you I'm August for that. We couldn't do it. If you do, can you let me know what bargain I missed!!

    yeah im on quite a tight budget unfortunatly it's my first holiday in 10 year, i just want the best bang for my buck, kids have never been abroad so they will be happy with any resort.

    Dont even look at first choice. (Whisper), would you pull the kids out school for the last few days? I'm looking for work in a school so can't but it was a lot cheaper.

    On a budget of £1500 for 2 adults & 2 kids, do check the reviews (paying particular attention to what is said about the food) before you book.

    As others have said I think you will struggle to get an All Inclusive in Turkey for that price in August. Do bear in mind that the flights alone are between £300-£400 each for that time of year.
    There are cheap All Inclusive deals to be had in Turkey, but sometimes they are cheap for a reason. In some cases All Inclusive in Turkey can simply mean 3 meals a day, set menu not buffet and selected drinks. Cheap all inclusives will not include snacks, ice creams, wide choice of drinks, entertainment etc so as others have said make sure you read the reviews and pay attention to them.

    Good all inclusives in Turkey include the Club Julian in Marmaris, Letoonia Club in Fethiye, Yelken Spa Resort Turgetreis, Papilon Belvil in Belek and Delphin Imperial Resort Lara and as someone else has said the WOW Bodrum is nice too.
    Others that are good budget options include Surmeli Efes Kusadasi, Shark Club Gumbet or Siesta Hotel Icmeler.

    Lisaloo, sorry but you won't even get there and back in August for much less than £2000. A decent all inclusive hotel will cost similar.

    Last year we were in the same boat, hadn't had a "hot" family holiday for years, and looked at Turkey with a similar budget to yours. We found a hotel called Greenlands Hotel near OluDinez, (look it up on tripadvisor, it has fantastic reviews), and went through Sunshine.co.uk to book it and flights.

    Total cost was over £3500, but we thought sod it, you only live once, and whacked the rest on a 0% interest card which we've almost paid off now.

    Was it worth it? Every bl**dy penny.
