TL;DR
Most Turkish all-inclusive hotels offer free still/sparkling water, tea, coffee (often instant), soda (Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Pepsi) and packaged juice like Yuppi; fresh juice and ayran are hit-or-miss and only available at certain times.
Rooms have a free mini-fridge restocked daily with water, Sprite, Pepsi and Mirinda, but no alcohol.
At the bar juice is limited to two 0.2L servings given once, while water bottles (0.5L) are restocked daily; the rule isn't strict — guests can ask for extra bottles or fill up from a cooler downstairs.
Free options are tea, coffee, sweet soda and beer; this hotel has no fresh fruit juice, no iced coffee, and never had milkshakes.
One traveler asked whether the hotel has imported alcohol and juices besides the sweetened powder-style 'Yuppi' drink, plus whether rooms were renovated — drink quality is a recurring concern.
At one hotel the food was decent, but all juices were powdered 'Yuppi'-type drinks, and the coffee machine tasted like instant coffee.
Another guest asked specifically about ayran and smoothies, and whether water is served in bottles or just cups — worth checking with the hotel in advance.
Fresh orange juice is usually available in the morning but runs out by midday; in the afternoon hotels often switch to waffles and simit (Turkish bagels) instead. Bars serve packaged juices that guests found tasty.
At some hotels only water and juice are free, while beer and cocktails are paid extras, even at the pool bar.
A typical included set is a 1.5L bottle of still water, two small bottles of sparkling water, tea and coffee.
Common sodas include Fanta and Coca-Cola, with Sprite sometimes added; natural juices and both still and sparkling water are also offered.
One hotel's free menu included Efes beer, Mirinda, 7up, Pepsi, juices, sparkling water, a 1.5L bottle of still water and chips, restocked daily.
