    The AC was very high in the corridors leading to the rooms , it should be at higher temperatures. Would be nice to have a space for kids in the lobby while they wait for check-in or other. Incident: the day to leave the hotel I have asked a staff to add some items to my luggages that were stored in the luggage room. He said okay. And I received a call while at the airport informing me that these items were still in the hotel and not added to my luggage. I had to ask a local guide to run back to the hotel and get back my bags in the rush before my flight. I would have appreciated more care and a clearer communication from the staff who said would take care of it.

    The room is spacious and very well maintained by the housekeeping team: thank you Mustafizur. Rezk at the restaurant is such a great host: warm, professional, naturally elegant, and dynamic, I hope he is recognized for that ! The team is great, from the security at the entrance of the hotel, to the team on the phone for in-room service. The hotel is well located: next to a little grocery and restaurant: cafe. You can have long walks along the beach, rent a bike, the swimming pool is large and well maintained. The food is great.

    The AC in our room tripped mid night,, the staff arranged another room immediately. however, it was only with two beds and we had to wait for a while to get the third bed.. I asked the receptionist to give us another room till the morning instead of keeping us waiting midnight and we were so tired & sleepy but he refused.

    Unfortunately the residence property that we were placed in had poor wifi, it was very frustrating as it kept disconnecting and slow even when it had full bar connection. Please fix this issue.

    The room was comfortable and cozy, all essentials such as toiletries and room items were provided. As well as the room service was very good.

    The location is a little bit far from the city. The road to the hotel is not well, it is a small road. The bedroom is far from the lobby. The bed is moist. Maybe Because of weather

    The service guys is good There are some show is good, the magician is very impressive The breakfast is good Near the sea and swimming pool

    The cleanliness of the room was not up to the required level, as we noticed the presence of ants and cockroaches, and the lighting in the room was not sufficient.

    The view from the room to the port and the services were good.

    Location is a bit far off from things and there are very few options for groceries or dining. Staff were pleasant but most did not speak English well enough to be helpful with requests

    Lovely amenities and hotel grounds, kids club, proximity to beach. Our room was fantastic and had a hot tub in the balcony which faces the ocean

    The lobby is in need of face lift and maybe because of the Khareef weather, smelled damp during our stay. The dining room could also do with a face lift, although the food and staff made up for it.

    The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and functional. The food in the breakfast and dinner buffets was great and a wide selection so the whole family was happy! The tour company in the hotel was very helpful and we had a great 2 days touring the area with Issa.

    The hotel is already quite old and in need of renovation. The room we stayed in also required renovation. It was very dark, which I didn’t like. When it rained, the room became very damp and quite cold, and all of our things felt damp as well

    We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. There was a wide variety of food for breakfast and dinner, and the large territory was perfect for walks, bike rides, and tennis. The sea was easily accessible, so we spent most of our time there. What we especially loved was the water park — it was perfect for us since we were traveling with our six-year-old child.

    It's a big facility and looks ok In the top of the khareef season, few services are not available for kids and beach ⛱️🏖️ Breakfast was not included in our package which was a bit disappointing and I have to pay upfront B4 entering the breakfast area, which looks a bit disrespectful. We ordered food in room the delivery staff ask for immediate payments and bring payment machine which we never experienced in any hotel. Looks like they don't trust there customers.
