This was our 2nd stay at this fantastic hotel. The location is away from the hustle & bustle of the city so perfect for relaxing but within easy access of the city for exploring. The hotel has a great atmosphere with lovely, friendly staff who go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The whole experience starts when you arrive and you are greeted by the concierge team who are welcoming. A special mention to Glen and Vergil for their professionalism and friendliness. We arrived mid morning and were able to go to the restaurant for breakfast and use all facilities while we waited for our room. The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. They are cleaned daily and the mini bar is stocked up twice a day as required. The pool area is lovely and spacious with adequate sun loungers and towels and has a swim up bar. The pool boys on roller blades give great service and are always friendly, attentive and happy, we had many fun conversations with the. Special mention to KB, Asharaf and team who always made us laugh on a daily basis. It was my special birthday while we were there and they serenaded me with a bottle of fizz on ice while singing Happy Birthday' (several times while we tried to open the bottle!) The sports team have several activities to join in throughout the day if you like to have some exercise. All the restaurants are exceptional, including the buffet restaurant. Our favourite speciality restaurants are the Asian and Orient. The beach is lovely with a long expanse of sand and plenty of loungers and beach bar. The evening entertainment in the outdoor area was very good (live bands) and the bar staff work hard to keep your glasses filled up! The range of drinks on offer is exceptional. Special mention to Aziz who remembered us from our first visit and is always friendly and attentive. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to visiting again in December 2026. Read less
