What evening entertainment is like at all-inclusive hotels in Turkey?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 28 days ago
TL;DR
Budget all-inclusive hotels in Turkey typically offer bingo, beauty contests, disco nights and occasional belly dancing shows. Entertainment quality varies by season and hotel budget — some years feature DJs and themed nights, others are more low-key.
What the community said
A hotel located in a small village makes a good base for relaxed holidays. In the evenings you can hop on a local bus to explore nearby towns. Outdoor disco nights draw big crowds. The hotel is right in the village so souvenir shopping is walkable. Rooms are dated and food repetitive, but the atmosphere is friendly and it's easy to meet people.

A year ago the hotel ran proper disco nights with DJs and themed decorations — an expensive production. Now it appears they've cut costs: entertainment is limited to bingo, Mr & Miss Hotel contests, and background music. The bar stays open and it's not quiet, but don't expect a real party scene.

The entertainment programme exists but doesn't aim for luxury. The animation team makes an effort. Activities include bingo (fun and lively), a 90s-style disco, a belly dancing show (highlight of the stay), Mr & Miss Hotel contests, and daily aqua aerobics in the sea except Sundays. Massage is a bonus — ask the therapist to tailor the session and the results are excellent. The hotel suits a relaxed holiday; 7 days is the ideal stay length.
