TL;DR
Animation levels vary a lot between hotels in Side: pool areas often have loud music all day, while beaches tend to be quieter. Sea trampoline cost and sea calmness also depend on the specific hotel, so check in advance.
The beach area is usually quieter with almost no music, aside from occasional karaoke singing. The pool area, in contrast, has music playing all day non-stop — so if you want peace and quiet, pick a spot by the sea rather than by the pool.
Check with your specific hotel in advance whether the inflatable sea trampoline is free or paid, how calm the sea usually is (or if there are waves), and what kind of kids' and adults' animation program is actually offered. This varies a lot between hotels.
In some Side hotels, mansard/attic rooms are classified as standard category rather than upgraded — so don't expect anything special or pay extra for them. If animation isn't a priority for you, focus on the sea and sandy beach quality when choosing a hotel.
