Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Beautiful units day now old rundown, needs upgrading. No porters to help with luggage and assistance finding your bedroom in such a huge place
Having to vacate room early 10am. Staff no smiles or friendliness.
Annoying scam type “hotel”. No reception or any humans at all. Cold uncomfortable decor, some kind of prison style bs shower where you have to hold down a button to make it work, annoying to get into and basically a sh**ty room with no facilities. So f***ing expensive. Total waste of time, wish we stayed at a local family run bnb. You just know the money from this place is being siphoned off to some real estate mogul sitting in a high rise in Dubai. Totally rubbish do not waste your money here.
Doesn’t matter what room or option you take, the place is dated and there is no sense of luxury.
Booked a suite, but honestly, not worth it. Just avoid this hotel if you are looking for anything other than a roof over your head.
They don’t service the rooms during your stay anymore either due to ‘policy update’… which policy is that? The don’t spend money on guests policy?

Staff were extremely polite and helpful. In a busy hotel, my sleep was undisturbed and comfortable. Would go back again
Parking none on site valet parking £25 per night swimming pool advertised but £5 a day with towels £1 a visit to pool . Meals pretty average vegetables mushy and overdone . Decoration dated needs refreshing in bedrooms. . Same deserts 3 days running
This property is in the perfect location for the beach. It was some lovely features with a lush garden, pool area and old style bar. Staff were helpful. The hotel is in desperate need of a refurb
It was ok. But it was ruined when house keeping stole my Grandsons tablet he left behind the tv. And they never handed it in to reception. We came back to the room 224 after check out and it was not there.
Very disappointing stay
All very tired and old
Food not the best
The rooms are shocking dirty old terrible bed no air conditioning on a very warm weekend
Staff not very friendly
Would not recommend at all very disappointing
The hotel itself like the common areas, reception, garden and bar were lovely and really well looked after. Modern and luxurious and very clean. Unfortunately the room was a different story. We booked a small double room and when we checked in we were told that we had booked a room without a window but because they had one with a window they would give us that. I did not book a room without a window as I saw this as an option but was not willing to be without a window. When we got upstairs to the west wing the whole feel of the hotel changed, it felt dated and dirty and it smelt. Upon entering our room we almost walked straight into the wardrobe as it was right in front of the door. I know that we had booked a small double room but it was absolutely tiny, it barely felt big enough for one person let alone two. The windows barely opened because there was a roof the other side, rubbish was lodged out the windows and the room is general was grubby and in need for decoration and a deep clean. There was a hole in the sheets and the sugar pot was dirty along with the bathroom floor. It wasn’t even a full size bath and the soap dispenser was broken. I know that we had booked a smaller cheaper room but I feel pictures online and the hotel itself were misleading of the room. We had a horrible sleep due to a small hard bed and slamming of doors at all hours. Unless you are booking a suite then I wouldn’t recommend staying here.
