diverse foodconvenient locationefficient staff
The hotel location is convenient, being just a short drive from the airport (around 25 minutes). Reception staff were very efficient, quickly preparing a room upon my arrival. I found the food options quite diverse, with a good variety (i especially liked the barbecue).
The furniture in my room looked slightly dated (but it was functional).

The reef for snorkeling was fantastic! They accommodated my room location request. My room was great. The air conditioning worked efficiently. The pool was lovely and large.

The food was tasty and offered variety.
The receptionist, Khaled, wasn't professional at all and was pretty aggressive when I asked for a wake-up call, I felt he just wanted me to check out quickly. Even though I was ready to pay for a late checkout, he never mentioned the charges!

The hotel grounds were lovely. I noticed they are not kept to the highest standard i have seen at other hotels. this was a very slight downside, but did not impact my stay significantly.
