Trendy Lara

Stayed for 10 nights as a young couple with an 8 month old baby. Rooms Large room with double bed, single bed and sofa. Mini fridge stocked and refilled daily and is included in the all inclusive. Safe is free to use and room has “air con” but it is not as effective as you would hope. Room was cleaned daily which you could request by using a button on your room and also a “do not disturb” which was useful when our baby was napping. Facilities Complex wasn’t as big as expected but big enough for having everything you needed on site. Has a good size indoor pool, 4 outdoor pools of which 1 is heated, water slides, splash zone for kids, gym, spa, shops (fake bags and clothes/ jewellery), photo shop, cafe style patisserie, plenty of bars indoor and outdoor, couldn’t fault overall as there was no need to leave the hotel - and that I would not recommend as the surrounding area is not pleasing. Food You’ll never be hungry as they have food available 24/7. Buffet is very very large and has almost everything you would want. They have different seating sections; adults only, general and kids. The kids area had a microwave, kids buffet, steriliser and aptamill baby powder which was a pleasant surprise. We went to 3 of the 5 a la cartes. Italian was the best by far, sushi/Chinese was not to our taste and the Mexican was okay, in our opinion not worth the extra €20 per person. We did not go to the steak a la carte as the price is €30 each but if you want steak it is €70 each!? This puzzled us and realised the food in the a la carte is not much different to the buffet so could not justify the cost. Snack bar restaurant was surprisingly very good! For a snack bar it had a lot of options and the quality was good! Staff Cannot fault the staff, very helpful and attentive to your needs. This goes from the cleaners, to the waiters to the bar staff. Very very happy with the service! Entertainment We can’t comment too much on this as we only watched about 2 shows from our 10 night stay due to our baby. But the music is LOUD, which is typical turkey and the acts that we saw were very good! Only annoying thing is the announcer/ speaker has to speak in about 4 different languages after one another which can get confusing/ annoying, but that’s being picky. Constant games/ activities around the pool and activity areas.

This was a brilliant stay-the service was fantastic-from Guildane, our cleaner, to the staff around the hotel.The food was lovely and the choice was excellent. We will definitely be back. If you arrive late, no problem, there is a late night canteen-same for breakfast time.The drinks are fine and the choice of restaurants and bar areas are very good.If you crave quiet, there are areas on the outside perimeter where you can hear the wood pigeons. We liked going down to the heated indoor pool just after breakfast where the sun warms the comfortable loungers and you can rest before having a dip-good sized pool-little one for toddlers. Outside, choice of pools and plenty of space to swim.It was so nice not to have to worry about finding a lounger too outside-there are plenty.

An absolutely lovely hotel. Great amenities. Loved the water taxi to the beach. Well kept, clean. Good food choices. Staff all friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Kemal who was so helpful. Pushing my husband in a wheelchair from the water taxi to the beach bar & looking after us.

Our first visit to trendy Lara,from the moment we arrived till the time we left it was excellent! ALL staff from reception to guest relations waiters cleaners very polite and welcoming the hotel is absolutely spotless clean they cleaning all of the time the food wow so many choices the drinks are fabulous the rooms are fab size the beds pillows are so comfortable the best I have had in a hotel the shower is also amazing we just did not want to leave the entertainment was a little hit and miss supposed the weather did not help but no fault of the hotel will definitely be back next year thank you trendy Lara we had the best holiday

We arrived at Trendy Lara on the 25th of march and it was like returning home, this hotel is nothing short of magnificent we stayed here last year and it was if we hadn’t been away, the staff from the manager down to the guy who sweeps the floor are fabulous. I must mention a few who have made our holiday amazing Purcu ( lady Red) and Gokhan who run the lobby bar are two wonderful people and then our old friend Kemal in the restaurant these people are a credit to the hotel. We have been here twice now and definitely will be back again, the hotel is immaculate the rooms are very clean and the beds are so comfortable the food is fantastic the best I’ve had in any hotel all in all its paradise a true Turkish delight

This was our 5th visit to the Trendy.We have never come this time of the year when it's the winter concept as not everything is open,ie outdoor food court and kids trampolines etc.Even though it wasn't we still had a great time.There was a lot of updating going on around the hotel grounds getting ready for the summer season which was ok as we know what hotel is like .The weather was great too.The staff make this hotel so so special, they go above and beyond what is expected of them.They remember us every time and treat us like family. The resort itself is lovely and super clean the only let down is the beach it's a bit shabby and needs updated but again staff wonderful especially the driver of the boat to the beach,such a friendly guy. We were a little upset that ice creams and ice lolly's weren't available during the winter concept as we took our granddaughter this trip and children like an ice cream no matter what time of year it is. Yusef in customer relations is a credit to this hotel he always looks after us and when my granddaughter fell after coming out of pool he escorted us to the doctor on site and made sure we were good.Thank you Yusef you are a star. We will return to this hotel again and again as we love it so much.
