Delicious breakfast
Hygiene: Good
Service: Good
Environment: Good
The staff members were most kind and helpful.
We enjoyed the rose water spray from Danial at the pool every day. The Martini bar has the best cocktails and best service.
The entertainment crew also had their share in making our stay fun and active.
In general we had a very nice holiday and we like to come back.
breakfast restaurant needs a big makeover and update because its outdated
The variety of food and services provided is nice but needs better sorting
They provide an icebox full of ice with complementary water which is super amazing!🤩
The animation team are super nice but could do better activities for adults during the day! We’ll be visiting again soon!!
He was incredibly attentive, ensuring that my coffee was always topped up and that I had everything I needed.
The level of service provided by Ahmad was outstanding, and he went above and beyond to ensure that I had a pleasant and relaxing start to my day.
Thank you Ahmad
