TL;DR
Based on guests' experience at one all-inclusive hotel in Turkey in summer 2026, the margarita and piña colada were favourites, while ready-made cocktails often felt too strong and too sweet. Ordering the components separately works better, for example gin and Schweppes for a gin and tonic. Bartenders make cocktails well but only from a limited list, so ask what is available.
Guests in August 2026 found the cocktail choice at the hotel rather modest: early in the month someone asked whether bartenders make anything beyond the list, and in mid-August other guests confirmed that cocktails are made really well, but only from a limited list. Do not count on an off-menu cocktail of your choice.
In late July 2026 hotel guests named the margarita and piña colada as their favourite cocktails. One guest asked for the piña colada without rum, with liqueur only — in her words, it comes out almost like a milkshake. A good option if you prefer something less strong.
Cocktail quality depends on the bartender. In late July 2026 guests said they especially liked the cocktails made by a young bartender at the bar by reception. If a cocktail at one bar does not suit you, try ordering it at another hotel bar or from a different bartender.
In late July 2026 a guest found the ready-made cocktails at the hotel bars very strong, with too much syrup for her taste. After a couple of days she started ordering the components separately — gin and Schweppes for a gin and tonic, and the mixer separately for a mojito — and adjusted the drinks herself. If you also find them too sweet or strong, ask the bartender for less syrup or for the ingredients separately.
A guest staying in late July 2026 did not see a printed cocktail menu at the bar. In September guests again asked where to see which cocktails and spirits are included in the all-inclusive package and what they are called — tequila, for example. The easiest way to find out what is available is to ask the bartender directly.
