TL;DR
Budget all-inclusive hotels in Turkey offer decent food variety and entertainment, but expect worn-out rooms and sometimes dirty beaches. Pools and evening shows are usually the highlights.
Budget-tier hotel: small rooms, mediocre renovation, some dirty common areas. No queues at the grill at all. Food variety is solid — fish, veal, chicken, vegetables, fruits, desserts. Snack bars are great: pizza, shawarma, fries, nuggets. You can even grab a bite at the beach. Overall decent value for money, with stunning views.
The hotel looks tired: no renovation, some dirty and smelly areas. Food is excellent and varied — over 10 days there was no need to plan meals, snacks were available everywhere. The sea is dirty with floating debris, and beach loungers are covered in bird droppings. Pool areas are cleaner and more pleasant. Alcohol is decent but cocktails only available at pool bars. Kids' animation is standard; evening shows can be genuinely impressive. Payment accepted in USD, EUR, Turkish lira, and via QR code.
Another hotel: well-maintained and clean grounds, great water slides, warm sea. Room is decent-sized. Housekeeping is not thorough but acceptable. By the end of the day, restaurant food runs low and becomes repetitive. Local alcohol is mediocre, cocktails disappointing. Getting noticeably busier. Mostly European guests, few Russian speakers. Transfer from the hotel took about 3 hours.
