Week of luxury

Fantastic hotel, staff, location, even guests. Very personal service to all guests and we loved our stay. The pool is safe and comfortable temperature, and the dinners are plentiful. Food and drink is great and much nicer than regular all inclusive holidays. Waiters, linen tablecloth and napkins, glasses for drinks and fabulous staff.

Enjoying our stay

Lovely hotel Good food quality drinks including real coca cola , 7 Up etc in glass bottles served in lovely glasses … great touch Comfortable beds spacious room with balcony tea and coffee facilities. Daily cleaning with fresh towels if needed . Nightly entertainment mostly good . Pool bar area used for entertainment. Fab room to hold entertaining with great bar service and that’s throughout the hotel . Excellent trained staff too … Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas always available with mattresses that’s brought to you for your comfort. A couple of issues , one is the room although spacious and spotlessly clean it is dated with brown furniture brown walls etc a bit depressing . Pool area is not adequate for seating in the evening especially when singer is on . A suggestion to management is for sunbeds near pool bar area to be cleared away and tables and nice soft seating to put in its place on an evening as there is nowhere to sit and seats are taken up quickly. We have enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future . Thanks to the management for all the hard work the staff have put in .

Another happy visit!

This is my fourth visit and I really can't fault the hotel. Some niggles I mentioned in my last review have been addressed. I had not planned to return until after the refurbishment but I understand this has been delayed. Yes, the place is a little dated but I like the Arabic style.

I would suggest that for a first time visitor, it is made clearer as to where to get the pool towels from. You are given a very small ticket which is the size of a postage stamp to give to the pool attendant in order to be given a towel. I would have thought it would be simpler to have the pool towels in the bedroom (as some hotels do)?

There is a theme night for dinner - Mexican, German/Austrian, Italian, Balkan/Arab, Spanish and other countries I can't remember. No "British food" night!

The staff were friendly and helpful and I look forward to a return visit after the refurbishment.

Great hotel with games area

Fantastic hotel for kids, teens, couples and sun worshippers. The layout of the hotel makes it secure against non-residents just wandering in from the street. There is a really big shady area with games, perfect for kids and adults, but also an alternative to being in the sun. The food was great and there was a large selection to choose from. There was different entertainment each evening which went down well. The kids loved the pool as there were 2 shallow areas in the main pool. There is also a separate kids pool. There were no issues with sun beds, we would head down before lunch and still be able to get some. There is a sun bathing deck for the serious sun bathers. The staff at the hotel could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. It was the perfect hotel and location for our young families.
