The good: Decent breakfast, nice pool (closes as early as 6:30pm), private beach, view from the room balcony, friendly bellman and breakfast staff. The not so good: Loud DJ music and noise by the pool area just below our room late into the night despite complaining to the front office about it. Thankfully I had ear plugs to dampen the noise and go to sleep. Dirty carpet and bed sheet/pillow cases in our room with hair and dark stains, leading to a room change after complaining to the general manager who apologized for the room’s condition but thought it could be related to the washing machine. One of the pool attendants or life guards was rude to my significant other taking away an umbrella she was using by the pool area without asking her or acknowledging her presence or apologizing even after she let him know she was using that umbrella.

We had to wait quite long before the check in tjme at 2:00 PM because the room wasn’t ready and when we entered the room the floor was still wet from after cleaning, also they couldn’t find the balcony key took for us to lock it and they kept telling us no need it’s already safe but the balconies are so close to the others right next to us so anyone can access.

There is sewerage odor , although they are cleaner coming every day but looks a problem construction. The cleaning or room is superficial because if you move the sofa , you will find surprises. Otherwise the staffs are very kind.

The location is amazing, the staff in general are helpful and apologists for any errors they’re not responsible for as it’s coming from the management significant mal organization. Room was not ready when we arrived, were told reservation starts the 30th while it was the 26th, toilet seat loose, very slow shower drainage with overflow, weak water flow, balcony door non tight wind flowing on, changed the room, second room was better, came at night to find the room flooding as rain and entered through the non tight balcony door, changed room for the second time in less than 24 hours, asked for a refund and reception staff said if it wasn’t through Expedia they would have refunded me, manager Mr Gamal didn’t bother to contact us, so far didn’t get any email from Expedia regarding my complaint and asking for a refund. Valet Ahmed, house keeper Asmaa, Guest relations Sandy as well as reception staff were all very nice apologizing all the time for the shortcomings. The hotel was not ready yet to accept guests!!!

While the hotel seems relatively new but the services leave a lot to be desired. Loud music all day to late at night and same collection. You can't enjoy a quiet time at the beach. Once I had to call reception to tell them it's 11pm and I cant sleep due to their loud music. Another day an employee was arranging pool beds around 2am, another day a guest was talking very loud on telephone by the pool around 3am and an employee next by didnt do anything. Many are times that my room was cleaned late and something is alway a miss. It could be a hand towel, water, coffee, body wash e.t.c. I asked for slippers at reception. I had to call reception next day to remind and insist before I received them. If you are the type who expect service as described in the listing, then this is not a place for you I asked waitress for water to my lunch. she didnt seem to have understood and I dont speak arabic. she said, I hold on then came her boss (I think) asking what the problem was. I told her that I would like to order some water but she didnt seem to have understood either so I told her it's fine. She said I paid and I asked her if I could pay after I've eaten because I'd like to order a cheese cake afterword. "You can order whatever you want later but pay now", was the response I got and with some attitude. I paid, lost appetite for the cake. That was my last lunch at their restaurant and instead went to Gleem Bay with lots of nice restaurants by the sea
