TL;DR
Based on July 2026 traveler reviews, the sea in Antalya is mostly clean and warm, and beaches are not overcrowded — sunbeds are mostly taken but there's still room to walk.
The beach isn't crowded — most sunbeds are taken but it's not packed. The water is warm and clean, with few swimmers in the sea. Hotel food is generally good, but cocktails/alcohol quality is mediocre. Rooms are cleaned daily; the only downside is occasional ants in bungalow-type rooms.
The sea was great all week, turning murky only once, on a Monday. The rest of the time the water was crystal clear. The hotel was also rated excellent.
Last week the beach had few tourists — nearly empty on weekdays, and as a result there was hardly any litter.
