Very polite staff, excellent accommodation. The hotel has a wonderful breakfast and very good restaurants. I would like to note the cleanliness of the beach. In my case, there was a free upgrade to the room and it was very nice. The Varq restaurant is beyond praise!

The atmosphere throughout the resort is relaxed yet elegant, and the level of service is simply outstanding. Every single member of the staff has been absolutely fantastic – warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay unforgettable. A very special thank you to Sufiyan, who made our evenings even more magical by preparing the most wonderful mocktails for us before dinner – such a thoughtful and memorable touch!
