Family room vs Standard room in Turkish all-inclusive resorts - which one to choose?

The beach entry near the 'Village' property has no rocks, but this hotel is the plainest in the chain in terms of aesthetics - simple reception and interior; sister properties built nearby look nicer.

The Family category has no fixed layout by view - rooms are scattered across the whole property, so which one you get is unpredictable; on the first stay it took real effort to get a decent Family room.

After six stays at this hotel, the last four times the guest got good rooms right away, and once even received a free upgrade from Standard to Family.

Within the Standard category there are three specific options: main building garden view (actually facing the parking lot), main building sea view, and sea-view bungalow - the bungalow option is usually the preferred pick among Standard rooms.
