It is a really great place to spend two weeks with family with 2 small kids (3,6 y.o). The hotel rooms are great, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was solid enough: eggs, meat, thai food, drinks and fruits. Special thanks to entertainment team for organizing all kids like party ! U are awesome! Also Thai Boxing class from Cory was just super cool! Definitely will continue with it in Belarus :) And of course thanks to everyone else that I didn’t mention here.. Thank u guys for our comfortable stay! Best regards, Dmitry.

Overall the hotel was ok for several reasons but first the biggest compliment to the staff as they were fantastic!! The hotel itself was a let down for us as we were sold as this was a luxury hotel and it wasn’t. We stayed in room 1506. The room is more like a basic ibis hotel. The sink is in the room and no real privacy for the toilet. Not enough room to store your clothes either. Our room faced allot of the bars so our sleep was massively disrupted until after 2am when the bars closed. The patio doors were of poor quality and the wind howled through them each night. The lifts to the rooms smelt of cabbage. They cut the trees around the pool but left loads of leaves/mess around the loungers and chairs. The breakfast wasn’t great, most of the time the hot buffet was cold. You do have to queue if you arrive at peak time but that’s because of the size of the breakfast area vs the amount of people at the hotel. The choice wasn’t great however you are able to find food that you will eat. Overall, we were disappointed with the hotel itself and would not return. The location is great if you want to be near bars and restaurants but won’t be quiet get away if that’s what you want.
