Pros:

Angekommen im Hotel wurden wir super nett und hilfsbereit empfangen. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und schön ausgestattet. Besonders positiv ist die supernette Bedienung von den Kellnern im Restaurant. Ein besonderer Gruß geht raus an Abbas der uns stets mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht begrüßt hat und uns an nichts fehlen lassen hat! Niyaz an der Rezeption ist unseren besonderen Wünschen direkt entgegengekommen und hat uns unseren Abreisetag somit noch angenehmer gestalten lassen, vielen Dank dafür!
Im gesamten waren wir sehr zufrieden mit allem. Hotel, Lage, Aktivitäten, Transfer und Restaurant alles aus einer Hand und alles sehr gut. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Equipe sensacional. Fomos muito bem atendidos. Nos casamos lá e todos foram bem atenciosos e cuidaram muito bem da noiva.

Cons:

A Tv foi meio complicada de mexer e acessar a internet. Mas quem vai a um lugar lindo desses para ver tv?

В восторге от отеля
Pros:

На равнозначно высоком уровне у отеля - локация, персонал и удобства.
В номерах есть в е необходимое. А уборка, действительно, проходит несколько раз в день, когда бы вы ни вернулись в номер, там стерильно чисто и все аккуратно разложено. Отель создан для того, чтобы вы не отвлекались от отпуска и отдыха ни на секунду, это очень ценно.
Прямо у отеля два больших пляжа с лазурной водой, лежаками и зонтиками в достаточном количестве для всех желающих. В номерах всегда лежат полотенца для пляжа.
Так же в отеле есть 2 бассейна, на 8 и 10 этаже. Есть террасы для встречи заката и рассвета. При заселении персонал подробно рассказывает, какие у вас есть возможности в отеле.
Экскурсию “shark bay” я купила тоже в отеле и не пожалела. Экипаж лодки создает максимальный комфорт для туристов, делает потрясающие фотографии со скатами и акулами на ваш телефон и подводную съемку под водой, и создает отличное настроение. Дополнительная оплата за фото и видео с дрона оплачивается только в отеле при получении фото. Вам даже не нужно брать с собой полотенце - его выдают вместе с ластами, маской и спасательным жилетом.
А вечером посидите в ресторане отеля на пляже, насладитесь кальяном, который вам сделает Hashim, выпейте фреш и осознайте, как вам повезло с выбором отеля. Очень рекомендую всем.
