TL;DR

Rotavirus is common in Antalya during summer, especially among children. The main advice: avoid hotel pools and swim in the sea instead.

What the community said

Rotavirus in summer is a common occurrence regardless of country or type of water. Children tend to suffer more as their immune systems are still developing. If your child gets sick, seek medical attention promptly.

Children repeatedly caught rotavirus specifically from hotel pools. Once pool swimming was stopped, the rest of the holiday went smoothly without hospital visits. Hotel pools in summer are the main source of infection.

Hotel pools — high-risk zone in summer

Rotavirus in Antalya pools is a persistent summer problem with little that can be done to prevent it. The best alternative is to swim in the sea, where the risk of infection is significantly lower.
