The receptions was horrible and professional. They try to double charge me and try to take extra money from me. They didn’t know how to treat the customers. Also, the breakfast was terrible as well. Surface was bad. They closed the pool at 7:30 PM after that you cannot enter the pool

Fantastic property with great amenities - swimming pools, jacuzzi and beach. Food was great. The manager at The Corniche restaurant was extraordinary in accommodating us (vegetarians). Rooms service food was largely good although they gave us extremely spicy food despite us having specifically asked for it to be less spicy. The room was comfortable but the area outside the balcony was quite dirty with lots of cigarette butts. It was cleaned as soon as we let the housekeeping know. The plug points were not compatible with ours (UK) however the reception staff kindly lent us an adaptor. Overall a great experience which could have been exceptional barring a few aspects.

One staff person was rude, hostile and unprofessional, spoiling the entire stay. The Lebanese restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was a mess, with the buffets running out of plates and a 6-yr old child climbing on the buffet, shoes and all, to grab donuts. The tables were filthy.

It is a nice hotel but very outdated. The room I was in needed a renovation yesterday. The bathroom was clean but again needs a renovation. The beach and pool areas are very nice!! Sand is clean, the pool is large, there is a sitting area as well, where you can enjoy a sunset. I would come back but wish the hotel had some Reno done inside.
