Great experience, lovely people, there is a lot that can be improved. Communication with restaurant staff wasn't the best. Zero entertainment at night, nothing to do. Great place but alot of improvements needed on various fronts. Food and drinks are very expensive not worth the money you pay for what you het in return.

Excellent. We reached the hotel at 09.30am,checking was 3pm. Maria at the desk was very helpful and sorted our room within 15mins. She took us personally to our room. Ronald was our host excellent service constant messaging asking if everything is ok. Buggy drivers come round literally every 5/10mins offering a ride. Very relaxing holiday.

It was a great place to Stay, the service was second to none. The rooms were cleaned twice a day. Staff were amazing. The children loved the Kids club, which had soft play, cinema, Pool table, and many activities for all. The Spa was one of the best i have used, Oud Siganature Massage was wow! The restaurants on the island were ok 4-5/10. I did however, enjoy Al Nahham and Q lounge food. The downside is, if you have half or full board, you still have to pay for certain items on the menu with a discounted price and those items were the good items in my opinion. The swimming pool isn't big and nor is the kids pool area. The kids pool area is very small, 10-15 kids and it will be full. Overall i enjoyed the stay, the staff were amazing on the island from Yuni, Sachin the buggy drivers were all very freindly and caring.

Exceeded my expectations, the staff make the experience truly special. They were what made this trip so enjoyable and all members couldn’t do enough for you. The food at the property was very good, we tried a few things but not the Italian restaurant and everything we had we enjoyed. Resorts can be very hit and miss when it comes to food but this was good for a resort. Once the new adventure park is opened, the kids will enjoy this once even more. Special mention to Kay at the Indian restaurant, she took her time to explain things through and dealt with dietary requirements in her stride! Will definitely be looking to come back here.

It was like being in a slice of paradise. The views are beautiful and the sunset from the pool was amazing, almost like being in one of the holiday ads. A variety of food options however a little pricey and I was disappointed when not all the food on the menu was part of half board and an extra needed to paid but there still was a lot to choose from. Food was delicious. The staff are always happy to help in anyway and are really the pride of this island. I can not wait to return again!
