TL;DR
In late May and early June, Turkish all-inclusive buffets typically offer oranges, bananas, apples, and hard peaches or nectarines. Seasonal strawberries, cherries, and loquats are rarely seen at hotels despite being in season locally.
In early June, some all-inclusive hotels do offer pineapple and strawberries at the buffet. However, apricots and nectarines tend to be unripe and flavorless at this time of year.
The typical fruit selection at all-inclusive buffets in this period is limited: sliced local oranges (tasty), bananas, apples, and hard peaches or nectarines of average supermarket quality. Watermelon and strawberries were not spotted at the buffet.
Even though late May is peak season for strawberries, cherries, and loquats in Turkey, these fruits rarely make it onto hotel buffets. They are almost never mentioned in hotel reviews either — worth keeping in mind if fresh seasonal fruit is a priority when choosing accommodation.
