Little piece of paradise

I loved my stay from start to finish. The staff was amazing and so welcoming I felt like a princess. Communication was easy with WhatsApp and that made everything even more effortles. They made my stay so comfortable that I really was sad to leave. This place truly is a little piece of paradise. The beach is really beautiful and even though the tides are pretty strong you can swim when the tide is high in the morning. The food at the restaurant was really good, and everything was made with such care that every plate was beautiful and tasty. Only problem I had was that sound proofing in the rooms was not the best, so if you are a light sleeper I would recommend some earplugs just in case.

Very beautiful and relaxed place

We’ve just had the most amazing holiday at Sharazad Oasis Retreat, and we cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and pampered by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately, I had sprained my leg, but the staff went above and beyond to assist us – including offering a late check-out so we could make the most of our stay. The hotel is absolutely stunning, located right on the beach with breathtaking views. The beach is beautiful and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The restaurant serves good food – both lunch and dinner were wonderful, and the included breakfast was varied, delicious, and filled with fresh ingredients. The hotel is well-maintained, and with three great pools, there’s always a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. You can truly feel the love and care that has been put into this place, both in the level of service and in the attention to detail throughout the hotel. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
