TL;DR
Many hotels in Turkey may offer a free birthday gesture such as fruit, a bottle of wine, or a card. However, it varies by hotel: some do it at no extra charge, while others may not acknowledge the occasion at all.
At Litore Hotel, guests received complimentary gestures: elderly parents had fruit delivered to their room without asking, and for a child’s birthday the hotel brought fruit, a bottle of wine, and a card.
At Litore, there was no need to pay extra for a birthday surprise: the family did not order a separate cake, especially since the all-inclusive buffet already had plenty of desserts.
Not all Turkish hotels acknowledge birthdays: some travelers reported that their child was not congratulated at all, so if this matters to you, it is best to check the hotel’s policy in advance.
