TL;DR
At Dana Beach (right side), nearly all umbrellas are reserved with placards from early morning. By 8:00 AM only 2–3 spots may be free, and those are quickly taken with towels.
What the community said
As of June 2025, all four rows of umbrellas on the right side of Dana Beach (from the Beach Bar to the villas beach) are reserved with placards. By 8:00 AM only 2–3 spots remain free, and those are immediately claimed with towels. The reservations appear to be for hotel guests rather than individual tourists.

The right side of Dana Beach now has white umbrellas, apparently reserved for guests of second-line hotels, while the original blue umbrellas remain for Dana hotel guests. White umbrellas are still few in number and may be expanded later.

By 2025, a large beach bar was completed on the right side of Dana Beach, comparable in size to the main bar on the left side. A stage was also added, used for screening World Cup football matches. Two years prior, this area had only a small two-story bar, a shower, and toilets near the pier entrance.
