За 25 років в Лівані я вважаю що це не отель а шале,яких тут тисячі з найкращими умовами та з низчими цінами
Pros:

Гарна красива територія біля моря але Це в комплексі багатьох Шале ,тому багато людей які там живуть у цьому комплексі ,рибалки та інші,чисто море

Cons:

Зранку починать півні 🐓 співти ,бо поруч старий будинок з птицею ,готель потребує реновації ,лише один з будинків комплексу- під отель,інші -це шале з місцевими , Ресторан біля моря не дозволив скористатися їх шезлонгами ,казали що вони окремо від отеля,тому на море нема було де сидіти, тільки біля басейну,коли наступного ранку сіли Все ж таки на їх вільні шезлонги де не було людей взагалі, Змусили купити в них напій щоб там залишитися ,ми були 2 години там взагалі

Very bad stay and frustrating. I will not visit this area again. I am from Jordan not from SA
Pros:

Nothing
Only the Guy at reception he tried his best to help us.. but unfortunately nothing in his hand.. the manager/Owner has all the rights.

Cons:

They didn’t accept us to pay by Credit Card, they want only Cash..although we have International Master Card..and when booked “On Line” they wrote that only Credit and Master card accepted.. Cash not accepted. When we told the employee at reception we don’t have enough Cash, he let us talk to him, but he didn’t help and told us we should pay cash.
Also there was No A/C in the Lobby.
Only one Restaurant and they close at 8:00pm.
I am sorry to say it was the worst restaurant experience in my life!

Passable
Pros:

Beautiful resort & views to the Sea. Very kind staff members. Clean & vast room.

Cons:

No possibility to eat within the resort and not much around accessible without a car. Unlinked written in confirmation email from booking.com, cash is accepted, actually cash is the ONLY way to pay. Wifi is very slow.
