Back to the 90s

It seems that since it first open, no investment has gone into the hotel. Old facilities, very slow service with just a few good service guys trying their best. 70% of them go in circles. It can take an hour to get drinks and pizza. We played golf, tho the caddies try their best, the equipment for rental is incomplete and old. No shop… really poor vision of what this business could do.

We had to wait for an hour for our room to be ready even though we arrived on time and pre-booked months before. There was no compensation offered either for the inconvenience. The rooms are quite far from the elevators so there was a lot of walking involved just to get anywhere. Apart from that, the hotel was good.

Big and nice facility similar to 5-star hotels in Turkey. Food is quite nice. Area around the hotel is also big and nice. There is nowhere to go other than the hotel area and there is really nothing to do if the weather is not good - no leisure is organized for the hotel guests except for 12.00pm aerobics once a day. Prepare for a one-week waiting like to the spa, they only have 2 massage girls and 1 ayurveda specialist for a huge facility. Ocean is not good for swimming. Sunbathing beds/decks are few and occupied by some guests in the morning and abandoned till the come to enjoy the pool around noon time, so prepare to fight for those to get a space by the pool. Staff is friendly but many of them do not understand English very well or may be there is some other reason, but getting things done - should it be a cup of coffee or getting your laundry bag back to the room can take 5 times more times and efforts than you originally planned. Really this hotel is overestimated and except for a fancy facility and good food, it is the most boring place on Earth.
