Top nice hotel with ordinary food standard

Very nice hotel. The hotel and surroundings were top class. The food, both breakfast and dinner buffet were not the same very high level - just ordinary

Staff were very friendly and attentive in particular the bar staff in both the evening at morning. All went above and beyond to make sure everyone was served and having a great time. Abdul asahe and gobi were excellent in the dinning area and were ao warm and welcoming.

10/10 Excellent

Very clean and well presented. Staff are friendly and I would definitely go again and recommend to friends
Kieren, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel itself is modern and clean, and the overall vibe is more for younger guests, mostly in their 20s and 30s. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet expectations for a supposed 5-star stay. The All-Inclusive package was quite limited — after midnight, nothing was included, and even during the day, only one drink per person was allowed per visit to the bar, which felt restrictive. On top of that, several basic cocktails weren’t included, despite being made with the same ingredients as the ones that were. The food also wasn’t up to the standard you'd expect from a 5-star hotel — both in terms of variety and quality. We also weren’t able to book the à la carte restaurant, even though it was visibly empty when we asked. Staff were okay, but the overall service and offering didn’t justify the price or the rating.
Nilo, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

we paid half board which included breakfast and dinner, however, we were charged anytime we wanted water. I feel as though drinks shoukd be inclued in those 2 meals.

Vi blev jätteglada att vi valde rätt ställe.
Halis Ibrahim, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Wir hatten zuerst einen Zimmer was den ganzen Tag schattig war (nicht optimal für Zimmer mit eigenem Pool). Nach Rücksprache mit der Rezeption wurde uns netterweise ein anderes Zimmer angeboten, was wir akzeptiert haben. Ansonsten gut zum Erholen. Anlage sehr sauber und Essen war gut (vor allem Desserts) aber etwas wenig Auswahl insgesamt. In allem zu empfehlen. Punktabzug weil es keinen Privatstrand gibt, die Umgebung / Standort der Anlage nicht optimal ist und es viele Ameisen auf der Terrasse gibt.

Salle de sport petite donc rapidement occupée. Les chambres à proximité des locaux pour le personnel de ménage peuvent se révéler un peu bruyantes tôt le matin…

Bel hôtel mais manque d'intimité sur les terrasses

Sensation mitigée. J'avais réservée une chambre avec Jacuzzi sur la terrasse hors à aucun moment il n'était mentionné l'absence totale d'intimité car cette terrasse est situé à 1 m et au même niveau qu'une allée de l'hôtel . Il n'y a même pas de barrière pour séparer. Néanmoins j'ai été changée de chambre suite à cette réclamation, et surclassee.mais la nouvelle chambre n'était pas prête et sentait le renfermé. Dommage. Personnel sympathique cependant et très belle piscine.

8/10 Good

Hôtel à taille humaine avec un personnel accueillant et souriant. La chambre est fidèle au descriptif et offre un confort sans pareil. La clientèle est dans l’ensemble respectueuse. La piscine et les abords sont calmes, idéal pour se reposer. Certains se plaindront de l’absence d’animation d’autres s’en réjouiront. Le buffet est de très bonne qualité et très varié. Petit bémol néanmoins pour la formule all inclusive qui n’offre que très peu de choix sur le "snacking " en journée. La situation géographique de l’hôtel situé à seulement 20 minutes de l’aéroport, n’est malheureusement pas idéale car très enclavée. Il faut prévoir la location d’une voiture pour idéalement visiter les environs. L’hôtel propose ce service à des prix intéressants. Je recommande vivement cet établissement.

Schön und sauber! Das Essen war jetzt leider nicht spektakulär… etwas enttäuscht mit der Qualität und der Sauberkeit des Geschirrs.
