The breakfast buffet was rich and varied, with options for all. Bed comfort was exceptional; mattress and pillows were tip-top. Noise levels for the beach parties were at times too high, and ran late, so a minor inconvenience if children are present.

We asked for a late check out and they didn’t allow it. We had a child with us and we needed an extra hour. It would have been a nice gesture to allow us that late check out. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic property with great amenities - swimming pools, jacuzzi and beach. Food was great. The manager at The Corniche restaurant was extraordinary in accommodating us (vegetarians). Rooms service food was largely good although they gave us extremely spicy food despite us having specifically asked for it to be less spicy. The room was comfortable but the area outside the balcony was quite dirty with lots of cigarette butts. It was cleaned as soon as we let the housekeeping know. The plug points were not compatible with ours (UK) however the reception staff kindly lent us an adaptor. Overall a great experience which could have been exceptional barring a few aspects.

One staff person was rude, hostile and unprofessional, spoiling the entire stay. The Lebanese restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was a mess, with the buffets running out of plates and a 6-yr old child climbing on the buffet, shoes and all, to grab donuts. The tables were filthy.
