Trendy Lara

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.

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

We had an amazing time at Trendy Lara for a winter getaway! We managed to get 7 nights for a great deal since it is off peak season and would 100% return. Room: We stayed in a double room and it was so spacious! Our bathroom had a huge shower, a toilet and 2 sinks. The room itself has 2 large wardrobe spaces, a double bed, desk area and sofa. Cleanliness was 10/10 and the cleaners were so polite and friendly. The minibar fridge was stocked up everyday with sprite, Fanta, coke, peach ice tea and water. Food: We were really happy with the hotel’s food in comparison to other all inclusive hotels we have stayed at. Breakfast had the usual hot options of eggs, sausages, omelettes, potatoes, etc and a huge array of pastries and fruits. Lunch in the main restaurant also had great options which included dishes like chicken in sweet and sour sauce, Turkey/ chicken breasts and thighs, grilled/steamed fish, kofta skewers, beef with vegetables etc. Dinner was fairly similar to lunch with some changes made but there was still lots of option even when the restaurant is cut to half its size for the less busy period. There was an additional restaurant Dom Bistro that served food throughout the whole day up until around 2am which was great. There were 2 a la carte restaurants open at this time of year; we visited the steakhouse which made a nice change for dinner one night of the week. There was also a Parisian style cake/coffee cafe where you could get different desserts throughout the day and hot drinks in the evening. Service: All the staff at this hotel are so friendly and attentive. The waiters and waitresses were always so quick to get you a drink in the restaurant and clear your plates when you were finished. The bartenders wherever you went were also so helpful at making sure you always had a drink by the pool or in the main lobby. The evening entertainment was also still great considering the hotel isn’t particularly busy. Most nights were live music but the entertainment team also hosted a bingo night and a quiz night that everyone seemed to get involved with. Weather: We visited at the end of February into the beginning of March so we wasn’t expecting any high temperatures. We got lucky on a few days towards the end of our trip where we had blue skies and temperatures of around 19c which definitely beats the UK winter. There is only one outside pool open this time of year however on the sunny days a large number of guests make their way to the sun loungers and go for a swim. Overall we would highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a relaxing trip in the off season.
