Trendy Aspendos Beach Hotel

Starting with check-in, the process was smooth and quick and we were not overloaded with information as it was late in the evening but most hotels now offer online check-in which would speed the form filling even more. Staff were pleasant and asked if we needed to eat, we didn’t and we taken quickly to our room. We were staying with our adult daughter for a week so had a large two bedroom sea view with a double and two single beds, separated by a door and hallway. Double had two balconies with sea view’s, which if I’m honest we did not make the most of and we did also overlook the pool. Room was clean and stocked with tea, coffee and fridge stocked with beers and soft drinks. Bathroom also stocked with shampoo, conditioner, lotion etc but we had brought our own. Slippers and robes also provided and came in handy for use in the spa. Having read several reviews about staff not being pleasant to English guests ( which I had taken with a pinch of salt) , I can now honestly say that this was nowhere near our experience. There was a mixture of guests from different countries but the staff are courteous, very eager to please and always making sure that you are having a good experience. Whilst here we booked a hammam spa, got them down to €60 Euro’s each for two which included half hour massage, well worth it. The spa itself is huge, wished we’d booked more, again the staff were delightful. My husband and daughter also booked a cabana on the beach for my birthday. This includes a butler for the day, fruit and sparkling wine on arrival ( and flowed for the rest of the day!). There’s a fan, fridge and safe inside in case you want to go to the beach which we did. The lady we booked with came down to check everything was ok and wish me happy birthday, my bed was decorated. The restaurant we booked also decorated the table and brought My dessert out and sang happy birthday, some of these things I’ve had in other resorts but they really did go the extra mile. Drinks/Food. There is an excellent selection of drinks and bars will make you anything if they have it. Shout out to Roma bar for excellent cocktails and skater cowboy by the pool who would bring my husband and daughter different cocktails to try. All of the food, in main buffet and restaurants, was excellent, special shout out to Turkish night in the buffet restaurant which was really delicious. Lastly some things that could be improved. It was only the second week in September when we visited but things seem to be winding down. There was no foam party ( I wasn’t upset) and the entertainment was low key. There could also be more entertainment in bars like the Roma bar which is a lovely place to drink but could benefit from maybe a singer, something on the terrace. Pool toilets, there is one, through the children’s playground or downstairs by the bar. There needs to be better access and more toilets. Smoking/ vaping, around the pool. There needs to be non vaping and smoking areas, it was really

I spent 10 days at the hotel in a standard room with a balcony. It was spacious enough for three people to stay comfortably. I decided to pay extra for a sea view and I highly recommend it – the difference is huge. Without it, the rooms may face the street or a neighboring hotel, which is far less attractive. The room was cleaned daily and the minibar was regularly restocked. The food was very diverse – there was always something new and interesting to try. Special focus was put on dinners, which often had a more “fancy” character. For me, the downside was the relatively short serving hours. I am used to restaurants being open longer, and here, if you missed the set times, between lunch and dinner only sweets were available. The animation program was varied and entertaining, although not always carried out as planned. For example, a beach pétanque tournament was canceled due to low interest. Still, whenever the activities did take place, they were well-prepared and fun. The hotel beach made a very good impression – it was clean and wide. On the left side, it was rocky, which made it perfect for snorkeling, while on the right side there was beautiful soft sand, comfortable enough to walk barefoot. This way, everyone could find something enjoyable. Sunbeds on the beach were always available. Unfortunately, the situation by the pool was much worse – to get a spot, I had to wake up before 7 a.m. Many guests “reserved” sunbeds with towels despite hotel rules, and the staff did not enforce their own regulations by removing them at the indicated times.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the 5-star Trendy Aspendos last week for 7 days for our first trip together to Turkey, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! The food was lovely with so much variety – main buffet, bistro, cake bakery, and snack restaurants (burgers, pizzas, kebabs, etc.) meant we didn’t even need the à la carte. The hotel was spotless, the pool was huge, lovely sandy beach, and the big water slides were great fun for all ages. A highlight was the amazing animation team who kept everyone entertained day and night. Special shout-out to Murat, Batu, and the roller skate bar waiters – they really made our stay memorable. Overall, everything was wonderful and we hope to return. Thank you for making our first trip to Turkey so special!

Everything about this hotel was amazing! The food is out of this world and there is something for everyone. The Hotel is very clean. It is the perfect place for a family holiday and caters for all with their entertainment. We are an English family and there were no language barriers and all the entertainment team made a real effort to communicate with us even if they weren’t so confident with their English, special shout out to Adel and Dilek who my daughter adored, they made her feel really special. Ilhan runs the show perfectly along with Rocco, Murat, Batu. We rented a cabana for the day and were served by Ozga who was amazing , she’s a real asset to the hotel as is the skating waiter. After 11 days we are so sad to be leaving this beautiful place and would return in a heartbeat.

Spent 10 wonderful nights here and was devastated to leave. The food is outstanding as are most of the staff. Everywhere is very clean, loads of sun beds and parasols, waiter service to pool on roller skates! Special mention must go to the entertainment team, especially Ozzie and Murat who work so hard day and night. One of the barmen at the pool was very rude and needs a lesson in customer service, but all other staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. There’s a big park for children, also water slides and kids club, all really good. Evening shows were really good, with professional shows brought in. The clientele was mostly German, but some British and other nationalities. I would not hesitate in returning to this hotel and would go back tomorrow if I could.

Not the best place for English. We are here now .Second day of a tea day holiday. Firstly the out door pool is freezing 🥶 Can't stay in it for more than 30 mins. I have been coming to Turkey for the last 10yrs I have never experienced a pool so cold. Service at the bar. Bar tenders have a really bad attitude towards the English. I have never experienced such rude bad mannered bar staff in my life. But if your German or Russian they are overly nice they even ask them if they want a drink. If your English...you go to go and get your own . The ONLY staff who are nice are the Life guards ,cleaners and spa staff. They speak to in a lovely friendly manner. I won't be returning to this hotel and I definitely won't recommend it to anyone who is English.. spend a bit more and upgrade to a hotel who welcome English people.
