There are some great resorts in Turkey but it depends what you want. I've been going regularly to various parts of Turkey for 35 years and although I have travelled all over the world, I constantly get drawn back to Turkey at some point every year.
Kusadasi is a very big resort - rather commercialised. Bodrum are is popular. Kas is lovely & Kalkan, if you like smaller resorts. My favourite is the Antalya area. Apart from Antalya there are a number of resorts nearby - Side & Alanya for example. Have a look at the websites for Anatolian Sky or Metak - both specialise in Turkey & are old established companies. They would give you advice if you call them & tell them what you like.
Once you have decided on a resort, go on Tripadvisor for reviews of the hotels by people who have stayed there.

Another good site is this one (I've sent you straight to the Turkey forum but they do other countries as well): http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewforum.php?f =28

Take a look at Dalyan, Turkey. It is half an hour from Dalaman Airport and is in a nature reserve. It is very beautiful. It is not on the seafront but on a meandering river which leads to the sea through reeds. The African Queen was filmed there. Went last October and the weather was great.
An Hotel with a great view of the riverfront is called the New Gul.
