I have found a huge lizard in my room , and it took them 2 hours to take care of it. They actually killed the lizard inside the room and gets dirty. Management said it is normal to fine one inside your room because it’s a resort (Unbelievable) First & Last time in the place

So many things r not working! The spa and kids club r out of service. Breakfast is a 3 star motel quality. Bathroon plumbing had a problem and there would be so much noice everytime we flush the toilet! I tried to get a drink at the pool and add it to my bill I was told I had to pay immedialy and I did not have my wallet on me. The rooms interior is so ugly! Like a fortune was spent on exterior and landscape but the rooms were of horrible taste.

The property was old and when we checked in the parking was limited and the room was dirty, some dirty napkins under the bed and the sheets were burnt in one corner. The backyard was not sweeped and full of dry leafs. The shower and jacuzzi’s water had a very bad smell and we were not able to take a shower the next day. The couch had stains all over it and it looked so old and dirty. The sunbeds outside are all dirty and disgusting. Mostly has some bird sh*t on them. I’m glad we only booked one night because it was an awful experience. Not recommended at all.

I stayed in the "luxury garden view room", i was disappointed for several reasons: 1- The furniture in the room is a 3 star hotel furniture. Although the furniture of hotel lobby is 5 star. 2- The bed was in the middle of the room. They built closets behind the bed. And no electricity socket near the bed to charge your phone. 3- A round table and 2 chairs were between the bed and the way to the toilet and closet. I had to move the chairs to have more space in the room 4-The sink mixer handle broke and draining the water takes time. I dont know if they check the room regularly after every guest. My parents stayed in a "premium suite".It had alot of furniture pieces, It would have been better if they would have a mini kitchen. The staff were nice and helpful. The room was clean. Since it's a resort, the villas are desingned in a nice way, walking from the villa to the restaurant to the lobby is nice. The breakfast buffet was perfect. The value for money I give it a 5/10.

Not quite 5* Poor points, very quiet so some facilities closed (spa's, some restaurants). Minor issues with room (no hairdryer, ironing board, leaking tap) all resolved quickly but I would expect 5* to spot these things first. There is still some construction going on on the island (November 2022) which affects the views but otherwise no intrusions. Good points, the food in the open restaurants (shisha and pool side) very good. There's a great infinity pool with a man-made beach plus a small pool for younger guests. Plenty of seating all round. The garden and grounds are spacious, well maintained and spectacular when lit at night (as are the outside tables for the restaurants). Room was large and clean with outside seating area (hint, don't leave the keycard in the slot by the door or the lights can come on at random during the night!). Serviced every day. Great location, around 20 minute to airport (no aircraft noise), short taxi ride to mosque, museum, WTC, Souq, malls etc. Less than 15 minute walk to (a few) water side restaurants and convenience store. Similar short walk to the Reef Clubhouse which guests have access to. Big sea water lagoon with food and drink outlets, floating restaurant and tents (!) By far the best aspect is the staff. From the porters, to receptionists, serving staff, grounds people, life-guard....all friendly, always smiling, and keen to please (I didn't see any rudeness as claimed on other reviews. Smile at the staff and you get 100 smiles back).
