The good: Decent breakfast, nice pool (closes as early as 6:30pm), private beach, view from the room balcony, friendly bellman and breakfast staff. The not so good: Loud DJ music and noise by the pool area just below our room late into the night despite complaining to the front office about it. Thankfully I had ear plugs to dampen the noise and go to sleep. Dirty carpet and bed sheet/pillow cases in our room with hair and dark stains, leading to a room change after complaining to the general manager who apologized for the room’s condition but thought it could be related to the washing machine. One of the pool attendants or life guards was rude to my significant other taking away an umbrella she was using by the pool area without asking her or acknowledging her presence or apologizing even after she let him know she was using that umbrella.

The location is amazing, the staff in general are helpful and apologists for any errors they’re not responsible for as it’s coming from the management significant mal organization. Room was not ready when we arrived, were told reservation starts the 30th while it was the 26th, toilet seat loose, very slow shower drainage with overflow, weak water flow, balcony door non tight wind flowing on, changed the room, second room was better, came at night to find the room flooding as rain and entered through the non tight balcony door, changed room for the second time in less than 24 hours, asked for a refund and reception staff said if it wasn’t through Expedia they would have refunded me, manager Mr Gamal didn’t bother to contact us, so far didn’t get any email from Expedia regarding my complaint and asking for a refund. Valet Ahmed, house keeper Asmaa, Guest relations Sandy as well as reception staff were all very nice apologizing all the time for the shortcomings. The hotel was not ready yet to accept guests!!!

Allt var toppen, fint rum, supertrevlig och hjälpsam personal, rent, skönt säng. Enda som var lite jobbigt att det var ganska dåligt ljudisolerat så man hör allt som händer utanför.
