The staff is very friendly. The vibes and the environment is good. There is a nice ambient at night with live music, party and movies. The rooms are tidy and clean every day. There is an amazing infinity pool on top of level 8 which view is breathtaking. I really liked the local urban life as well. Nice place to have a walk at night. The beaches are small but nice and the tours are really good at affordable prices compared to many resorts. Amazing water sport staff always available to teach and nice people you can have a chat and a laugh with. Really great stay
IrelandThe staff is very good. I especially thank Mr. Paul for his cooperation. 
EgyptStaff was very friendly and helpfull. Activities such as excursions were great. The people who handles the activities were very helpfull. i had a ocean fear but excursion guys helped me overcome it. Thanks to Musa, Inaz and Paul for everything.
TurkeyThe staff was great and helpful The Room was very clean The view of the room is great
Saudi ArabiaVery well located, staff very friendly and helpful. The room (with a view) was terrific, very functional. All the employees were good, specific Mr Paul and Rashid from the reception who helped with a situation that we have, but also the cleaning guys, the personal in the beach bar. The drinks and food were very tasty. The souvenir shop guy very friendly also. Everything related to the Arena Services (the water sports, staff from Diving, shops) all very good. We definitely recommend this Hotel and would like to comeback next year (we already made the reservation). Thank you!
