My boyfriend and I stayed at the Turkbuku HIlton last August and I think it is the best all-inclusive holiday we have had. The hotel was in a good location high up on a hill-top so there were beautiful views from the lobby bar and restaurant balcony. There were regular shuttle buses to Bodrum and Turkbuku if you wanted a change of scenery during the day or in the evening, although you could easily spend all your time in the hotel as there were many activities on offer besides just sunbathing by the sea of one of the 3 pools. The hotel is very large, and it has a very family-orientated feel. The staff walk around the swimming pools in the morning to ask if you would like to take part in one of the many activities they offer, such as yoga, water aerobics, water volley, etc, but they won't hassle you if you tell them you don't want to join in. Waiters come around regularly to take drink orders or bring you complimentary coffee while you sunbathe. Every evening there is some kind of entertainment, and it is of a high qulaity, unlike other hotels I have been to. While we were there we saw a Mongolian Acrobatic act and a traditional Turkish band.
Also, the food is delicious, and there is a wide variety! The hotel also has several other restaurants that all-inclusive guests can eat at for a discounted price.
The one minus point I would note is that loud music is played quite a lot in the non all-inclusive part of the hotel which is across the water from all-inclusive guests. You can hear it, but I was so relaxed that I enjoyed it, however it could be annoying to some people. The hotel runs an outdoor disco twice a week for all the family, and the music can be heard from the rooms, but it finishes at 12 so shouldn't cause much of a disturbance.
If you enjoy all-inclusive holidays, I would highly recommend staying here!
