Trendy Hotel Verbena Beach

What a fantastic week. This was a very last minute decision, but we absolutely made the right one. My wife and I came for a few days away for our 20th anniversary - and Trendy Verbena Beach did not disappoint.

The staff are super friendly, the food was great and the hotel facilities were excellent.

We lounged around the pool (just reserve a bed by about 7:30am). We had a massage. We shopped at the local mall (only about a 10 min walk - but go in the evening). We also visited the Old Town (about €15 one way). The hotel also offered a complimentary meal in one of their a-la-carte restaurants.

We stayed in Rm 4108 and the location was perfect - not far to walk to the pool, hotel or the gym!

Evening entertainment was great as were the activities during the day. But the staff are the real difference. So friendly, polite and helpful.

I would come here again in a heart beat. In fact, next year I think we’ll bring the kids ….. maybe!

Trendy Verbena beach has been an absolute delight. The first thing you notice is the cleanliness and care that everyone takes seriously. The rooms, restaurants, bars, pools and public areas are always kept spotless!

The staff at the hotel from check-in, guest relations, waiters/ waitresses, servers, cleaners etc are ever so friendly. Everyone is keen to chat and advise. The staff are what really sets this hotel apart and offers a sense of trust. They work extremely hard and always try to remember your favourite drinks.

The personal touch goes such a long way and we were not disappointed. So much so, that we met a wonderful young man called Aydin who was currently in training in the restaurant (sweeping/ cleaning). He greeted us with a smile each time and even spoke about football! There is a language barrier but everyone speaks English or will go to lengths to ensure you are happy with the service. We wish Aydin the very best of luck in all he does, he was a real asset to the hotel and took pride in his work.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary during our stay and the hotel gave us a lovely bottle of wine and fruit platter, again such a lovely gesture!

The facilities are perfect. We had a massage in the hotels spa which was amazing! There is food, drinks and snacks available at all times. There is a wide variety of food to cater for all tastes however my only point would be that there was not much for vegetarian guests at dinner time. I don’t eat meat or fish so it was quite restricted to rice and vegetables which can feel repetitive when eating this daily! I fed this back to guest relations who was keen to look into this and see what can be added to the food choices.

The rooms are lovely with great facilities. We stayed in room 4108 and the location and view from the balcony were brilliant. The separate shower and toilet work very well and the sink area as you enter offers a great additional space. The light up mirror was very handy too. The decor in the room was lovely and modern, the large bed was super comfortable too.

We spent a lot of time by to pool. We never had a problem getting a sun lounger and lifeguards were on duty all the time to ensure everyone’s safety. There were also trainee staff around the pool area who took pride in serving drinks and offering cold towels to help cool off from the heat.

The evening entertainment had a good mix of shows and music and then onto the bar afterwards. The beach party was great fun too and was impressively set up. The animation team try hard to get everyone involved and dancing!

We have been to Turkey many times and this hotel has certainly left a wonderful, lasting impression. This time round was a break just for me and my husband to celebrate our anniversary but - we are booking again for next year and bringing our teenage children and parents…there is something here for all ages!

Upon check-out we chatted to Berrin (guest relations manager). Berrin was keen to hear our views about our stay and offered her assistance to support our trip next year. Again, a lovely personal touch to have a key contact at the hotel. Berrin’s interest in our views was motivated by her passion to get it right for all guests!

Thank you to the team at Trendy Verbena Beach for the hospitality and memories. This hotel is an absolute gem within Side and deserves every recognition possible to celebrate the hotel and the hard working, dedicated team.

Thank you Trendy Verbena Beach for our great holiday. Food was good. Cleannes of the hotel was great. Guest relations and reception were great. Darya from Guest Relations was very helpful, and reception helped to choose better room. Our small girl liked milkshakes and ice-cream. For the kids there were a lot of activities, but there were not so many kids who speak Russian, so our Alica was a bit bored, but she enjoyed just like us. We will come definitely back!
