TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest Turkish resort hotels may either check you in right away and honor a request for a quiet room, or move guests to another building on the first day. Beach towel cards are often issued at reception with a refundable deposit; one report mentioned €20 for 3 people, with towels collected at the spa.
A recent report from a resort stay in Turkey says guests who booked an annex room received a good sea-view room. Beach towel cards were issued at reception with a refundable €20 deposit for 3 people, and the towels themselves were collected at the spa.
An earlier traveler said they were checked in immediately on arrival and their request for a quieter room was honored. They were given a two-level family-style room facing the field, with a side sea view.
There was also a negative report: part of a group of 15 people was moved to another hotel on the first day. If you are traveling in peak season or with a group booking, be prepared for possible overbooking and confirm your room placement immediately with the tour operator.
