Trendy Side Beach

I stayed here in may 2026, the holiday company TUI advertised this as 4 star and believe me when I say it's 2 star at best, this is a German hotel (full of middle aged Germans showing there big beer guts in 2 sizes to small speedos and bikinis) but tui wont tell you that as they cant, however if you book through tui uk then surely it should be explained. The rooms are dated and poorly decorated, the cleaners are poor and don't do a thorough job. The food is poor and repetitive and is cooked to accommodate the German nationals. The waiters are very ignorant to you as English, the same with all the staff. The pool area is small and sunlougers are very few. That's if get any, as the Germans will get up early to put there mark on the better spots, this includes the beach. Would I of stayed here again NO. Would i of picked this hotel had i known the type of hotel it is NO.

The hotel is on a back street you have to walk down to get to . It's a very German focused hotel The staff are very attentive attending to their needs the 1st language used is German not English and everyone is over 60 years old . WE are the only English couple . This is not a 4 star hotel its 3 star rooms small and tired with tiny balcony. Very small pool area handful of sun loungers which again Germans put towels down by 6.30. Food very repetitive its the same turkey cooked in 5 different ways so far or beef tongue . Salads looking tired . Basic alcohol options . Hotel has a nice beach section having said that yes you guessed the Germans have there towels on them by 6.30 and they bring extra swimwear so its hanging off the shower area or parasol. There's a few shops on the main road where you are dropped and even they are surprised if they realise your English as the whole area is very German visited You can walk along the beach path to side town centre very pretty but expensive not somewhere for a bargain nice enough to sit for a coffee. There is nothing else about really you have to walk taxi or bus if you want to visit more lively shopping and eating areas . Tui will admit they are unable to advise what areas are more suitable or popular for your nationality as the hotel or area is geared for that nationality however surely booking Tui UK they would have took your best interest into consideration and advised you. They are only interested in taking a booking not your needs.

This hotel was simply amazing. The cleanliness, the staff, the rooms – everything was impressive. Our room was on the smaller side, and we ended up sharing a bed, which is fine if you’re a couple but we hsd a sesview and that wss a must - tmrooms are spotlessly clean and our fridge filled daily with fresh water and coke . The area of Side was clean, friendly, and inviting. The weather was glorious, and the food in the hotel was exceptional. The service was outstanding – the staff always had constant smiles, cheeky humour, and were so helpful. Entertainment was excellent and the enthusiasm of staff was admirable The only small drawback is that the hotel is predominantly German. While some guests were very friendly, others were not, and at times it felt like the staff communicated more easily with them. Around the swimming pool it could feel a little overwhelming, as many sunbeds were reserved very early. If there were a more balanced mix of nationalities, this place would easily deserve a full 5 stars. That said, don’t let it put you off – go and experience it for yourself, just as we did. Mix as we did and generally be kind and say Good Morning to everyone. The scenery, the indoor pool, the beach, the sunsets, and the old town of Side – untouched and full of charm – all made this a truly wonderful holiday. -

Trendy Beach Hotel offers a stay that’s a mix of pros and cons: we found it caters mainly for Germans, we, being English, were in a minority. One lady said she’d been there a week, and we were the first English that she’d been able to chat with. With regard to the hotel, first and foremost, it’s impeccably clean, and the staff are attentive and accommodating, even if language can be a slight barrier; any issues, such as our room being too noisy, were resolved quickly and efficiently. The private beach setup could be better, though. Sunbeds are lined up in tight rows, and, due to the parasols, you're often sitting in shade, which can be frustrating if you're hoping to sunbathe. Also, if you're a non-smoker, you may find it challenging to enjoy the beach area or even the pool and bar, as smoking is common, and there's little relief if someone lights up nearby. Food and drink quality could use improvement; the meals are fairly mediocre, and the hotel uses lower-quality alcohol in its drinks, so the bar experience falls short of expectations. The stage used for the evening entertainment is in the far corner so, unless you get a seat early, it’s awkward to view. Location-wise, the hotel is situated on a parade, the back streets can be gloomy, but there’s a scenic stroll to the marina, which is lovely, as is the nearby old town. However, the local shops tend to all sell the same, fake-branded items, which might not appeal to everyone. One highlight worth mentioning is the Turkish bath and the massages on offer—they were genuinely relaxing and a standout part of our stay. Overall, Trendy Beach is a solid choice if you're looking for a clean, comfortable stay with friendly staff. It's worth noting that there are some drawbacks, such as limitations with the food options, a scarcity of non-smoking areas, and a focus on German clientele.
