Thank you for another wonderful and relaxing stay
Stay: 21 September – 4 October 2026 Room 4213
This was not our first stay at this hotel, and once again we had a very pleasant experience.
I won’t repeat all the well-known facts about the hotel. It is a quiet, traditional and unpretentious place, with mostly regular guests, generally 50+, no loud entertainment, and its own rules and traditions. In many ways, it feels more like a private club than a typical resort hotel, and that is exactly what we like about it.
The main reason we keep coming back is the beach, which is free of coral reefs. The only downside is that, because the hotel is located in a small bay, the sea view is somewhat limited and you cannot see the full horizon.
The grounds are compact, convenient and very well organized.
We stayed during the peak season, with the hotel fully occupied, but the staff handled it exceptionally well. There were always enough tables in the restaurants, places at the bars and sun loungers on the beach, and we never felt that anything was lacking.
The rooms are fairly standard, but this time I would especially like to mention the excellent housekeeping. Our housekeeper, Mohamed, maintained a very high standard throughout our stay. Everything was clean and tidy, supplies were replenished on time, and the service was quick and efficient. Thank you!
The animation team works hard without being intrusive. The sports activities, including gymnastics, aqua aerobics and yoga, are well organized and enjoyable.
The restaurant service was excellent overall. The chefs deserve special thanks, especially the Blue Marine chef. The bartenders and waiters were also very efficient and attentive. A special mention to Majit, who is an excellent organizer and keeps everything running smoothly.
One small change we noticed: the evening dress code for men regarding trousers either seems to have been relaxed or discontinued, as many guests were coming to dinner in shorts.
What impressed us most, as always, was the overall level of service and organization. The staff manage to keep everything running smoothly even when the hotel is completely full. Everything is clean, the sand is swept off the sun loungers several times a day, and the staff are consistently friendly, attentive and helpful. Because of this, the occasional minor shortcomings simply don’t matter.
Another thing that makes this hotel special is its atmosphere. Many guests return year after year, and some seem to know each other — and the staff — like old friends. It creates a genuine club-like atmosphere that you don’t often find in resort hotels.
Thank you for another wonderful and relaxing stay. We look forward to coming back again.

Hotel in need of some TLC
The hotel was recently taken over bij the Jazz group. There’s a lot of overdue maintenance especially in the pool area that we saw. Most of the sunbeds are broken or not functioning smoothly anymore. There are a lot of birds at the pool that leave feces, features and stolen food scraps from the restaurants. When we mentioned that to the lifeguard he wiped it away with his bare hands (we didn’t see him washing his hands afterwards) The next day there was pigeon feces all over again and not cleaned. There’s a serious bird problem in this hotel with big amounts of birds drinking and washing in the pool, crows screaming all day and pigeons pooping at the poolside. We saw crows sitting on tables in the beachbar screaming at people for food. The animation team, spa and divingteam people are very friendly and not pushy at all. The food unfortunately is the same a lot of days and often overcooked and very dry and blend. I don’t know why because the food in the specialty restaurants is very good! So it’s not that they don’t know how to cook. The room was big and clean and on the moment of arrival they offered to put the two separate beds together for us. Airco was nice and quiet. The beds are just a bit to hard but that’s personal I guess. The shower was hot-cold and not giving a lot of waterpressure. There’s are a lot of Russian, English and Italian guests here but we enjoyed the interaction with them. Outside the hotel is a very large shopping area with a very big and beautiful Mosque which we visited on several nights. Overall it was not too bad but the staff is what made this holiday for us. Especially the three Mohammed’s from housekeeping, the poolbar and guest relations. Maybe in a few years when they have renovated the place itwill be a five star hotel in our opinion but right now we think they are a four star hotel with some 5 star employees.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the hotel; the only downside was the beach towel service. If you left your towel in your room after 6 PM, you had to wait until the next morning to get a fresh one. It might be better to set up a system where you can exchange towels throughout the day.
