Well, I think it depends on which part of the beach you visit. The parts managed by hotels are definitely better maintained than the ones managed by bars only. We happened to visit the part managed by bar number 15. Honestly, that one was a disappointment. The beach is sandy (darker sand) and the water very clear. Also the location is magnificent, you can take great pictures with the nearby fort on the hilltop in the background. But the access to the sea, although shallow, was full of sloppy rocks. You were not able to stand on them and what's worse there were cracks between the rocks where your leg could got stuck. This part of the beach had just an old shower stand with just trickling water and two changing-cabins (not hygienic at all). We didn't eat although ordered some bear, mojito and soft drinks - those were fine. The sunbeds are very old and shaky and didn't have elbow-rests. There was no table where you'd put your drinks or food from the bar so we had to "install" them into the sand. Beach-unbrellas are also visibly old and full of dirt. The bar doesn't have a toilet so they send you to a nearby one that is serving the beach as such. Be prepared to pay for entry (!), there is no soap at all and you get a small peace of toilet paper in your hands from the "toilet manager" who doesn't speak English. The entry fee to this part of the beach was 60 Turkish liras per person plus whatever you order. Honestly, if you want to enjoy the famous Kleopatra Beach, rather pay more and get access to a part managed by a hotel than a bar-managed part. Our experience was not worth the travel from...

Read moreWe booked the Kleopatra life hotel, based on the brochure and website. However, as we were a group of lads, when we arrived the first thing the manager told us was not to cause any trouble, as it was a family hotel. This being before the manager knew our personality and how we were as people, which came across as very stereotypical.
During our stay we respected the other guests and kept noise levels down. I also feel the website was very misleading, as it stated there was a fitness centre, which looked like it was full of equipment, but on arrival, there was only one treadmill and 2 dumbells.
The staff also seemed to be in a bad mood majority of the time, and the rooms did not have sufficient AC.
As for the all inclusive aspect, the hotel fails to mention that after 11pm you have to pay for drinks and that you can only get your towels changed every 2 days. Room service was also very inconsistent.
However one highlight from the hotel, was the night time bartender, whose name I can't recall. Found him to be very friendly...
