On arrival we were immediately upgraded to a sea view room. Location and beach are good. Nice room with great view and air conditioning which is a must. All staff were very friendly. The chef is excellent and we really enjoyed our evening meals I would like to add that the manager Kariem is a credit to the running of this hotel. Thanks Kariem and i look forward to meeting up with you in the future.

The best place to switch off and drift away!

Very relaxed very professionally managed resort. I would return and recommend friends. Friendly staff and very clean. The only thing is the mattress is not so comfortable.
