Reviews
The room was good, the bed was confortable and they have a huge land with beach restaurant, pool restaurant…
The food was not the best, they had some handmade food that was tasty, but mostly was not good Quality in our opinion.
Bad point: if you want to try a la carta restaurant you have to be there at least three nights to make the reservation…
The staff were amazing — very friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The food was fantastic, with a wide variety of options and something new every day. Everything was always fresh and delicious.
Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. I also want to highlight that my daughter uses a wheelchair, and all the facilities were easily accessible, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
There was entertainment every day, and the hotel’s territory felt like a green paradise in the middle of the desert — beautifully maintained, clean, and full of life. The beach was spotless, with plenty of sunbeds for everyone.
The reception team was wonderful and helped us resolve any questions quickly and with a smile.
Honestly, I tried to think of something negative to mention so it wouldn’t sound like a fake review — but I really couldn’t find anything! Everything exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to the entire hotel team — you are truly amazing! You provided excellent service and made our vacation unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to come back again soon.
Also a big recommendation for Farfasha Caffe and Mohamed. He was very friendly and make our stay interesting and fun.
The only downside was the music on the beach. It was the same playlist every single day, which became repetitive after a while. A bit more variety would really improve the experience.
Other than that, everything was great and I would happily return.
