Lovely hotel & staff. Room service food was delicious. Fun extras for the children. Only downside was while in the pool we were told to get out, due to both lanes being booked by individuals. The day before, one lane was for bookings, the other for everyone to use. Nice facilities but don’t expect the pool to be available.

Hotel Realm was mostly nice. The staff were friendly, everything was easy to get to... From gym, pool, sauna and spa. To the roof top bar of Leyla which had solid cocktails. All restaurants were roughly a 5-10 min drive. I thinks a few small things would make Hotel Realm the perfect 5 star: 1. Ensuring to have a blackout blind in the bedroom, as the main reception lobby lights beamed through the entire night which made for a sleepless night. 2. Allow visitors to turn the room temperature below 19.9 degrees, as even though I put temperature to 19.9 the thermometer showed that the room was still 24.6 degrees. 3. Either have a plug in the bathroom so people can use hair dryer provided or have a mirror so people can use hair dryer in the lounge area. 4. Have "Way Out" signs in the carpark, it's not difficult to get out of. I just saw a basic needs for it. 5. A better selection of condiments, it would have been great if I could put Hollandaise on my poached egg. The only condiments the had were tomato sauce, BBQ sauce and Tabasco. It would have been perfect at the buffet breakfast to have other options. 6. Price list for room snacks 7. And have access to Netflix and Disney, as the hotel TV and movies were subpar. Most definitely a 4 and a half star hotel though.

Check in was easy, even though we were likely given some erroneous information on timings of complimentary cocktail and canapés. We were, however, accommodated with a drink and nibbles at the bar. The hotel restaurant did not have any available reservations for this hotel guest. The blanket on the bed had excrement stains (picture available) and smelled like someone had slept in the bed previously, but the sheets werent changed. The mattress was lumpy, and in our opinion, should be changed. We were ignored by two reception staff upon checkout and had to go back a second time. Complimentary coffee and croissant were good, would have been even better if the latter had been provided on an actual plate. The parking was free on the weekend, which is of course a bonus.
