What is the food like at an all-inclusive hotel in Turkey — main restaurant vs beach cafe?

Food is average overall: fish, turkey, chicken and plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs — you won't go hungry, but don't expect anything special. Coffee in the dining room is terrible; the Green Bar serves decent coffee. Wine in the dining room is very poor (both white and red), while the Green Bar pours acceptable wine for free. All spirits are local brands; premium labels cost extra. Food quality has noticeably declined compared to 2019.

The main restaurant dinner buffet features a wide meat selection — lamb is a highlight — plus shrimp and various fish. Desserts are limited; watermelon is sweet, strawberries appear but run out fast. Expect queues due to high occupancy.

Wine quality is noticeably better in the main restaurant than at the beach bar. Champagne is decent. Cocktails are tasty — the barman improvises without a fixed menu. Beer tastes watered-down or very weak at both venues.

Sushi rolls at the main restaurant were a big letdown — served with onion, which is highly unusual. Don't count on decent sushi at this hotel.

The pool bar serves decent cocktails — piña colada stands out. All glassware is plastic by hotel policy. Staff ask guests not to bring food from other outlets (beach burgers, restaurant desserts) into the pool area.

The beach cafe suits fast-food fans: burgers, fries, nuggets and fruit. Ayran (yoghurt drink) is tasty. The menu is simple and casual.

Overall, the food quality is rated good to excellent by guests. Dining is considered one of the hotel's stronger points, despite weak beer and poor sushi rolls.
