What is the food like at all-inclusive hotels in Turkey — buffet quality and variety?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 15 days ago

TL;DR

Good all-inclusive hotels in Turkey typically offer lamb, beef, vegetables, watermelon daily, and strawberries regularly. Dishes are replenished as needed and staff don't clear the buffet before meal time ends.

What the community said

Seafood at the buffet is scarce — noticeably less than at a previous hotel the guest stayed at. Dinner offers shrimp and mussels, plus fried and stewed fish, but the quality is mediocre. Breakfast includes smoked red fish, which was not tasty.

For lunch guests can go to the burger stand or the snack bar; the burgers are genuinely tasty and get separate praise.

The hotel offers several types of champagne freely available (e.g. Talero), the wine was also liked, and cocktails are decent quality.

One guest noted the food is an acquired taste — repetitive and with a lot of fast food — though the hotel overall was liked.

The hotel has an à la carte fish restaurant: food is tasty, service is quick and attentive. The same dining room is used for all themed à la carte nights, with the theme (fish, meat, etc.) rotating by day.

The hotel's alcohol is decent quality — no rough mornings after. Among seafood: crayfish are well prepared, but langoustines are reportedly not yet done well.

The hotel buffet consistently includes lamb, beef, and vegetables in various preparations. Watermelon is available daily, strawberries regularly. The beach is clean with a Blue Flag status. The spa with a heated pool is a highlight. Good value for the price.

The hotel is notably clean. At the buffet, strawberries appeared once during the stay, while watermelon was available every day and of decent quality. A notable plus: dishes are not cleared before meal time ends, and items that run out are replenished.

The snack bar at one hotel offers free-access watermelon throughout its opening hours — guests can grab a slice anytime as a snack. Other dishes are ordered from a menu. This self-serve snack format is a convenient perk.
