Достойные простые базовые условия на первой линии прекраснейшего пляжа. Видно, что менеджмент старается держать уровень
Pros:

Месторасположение идеальное - самый центр прекраснейшего пляжа

Cons:

1. В лобби отеля ещё идёт ремонт.
2. Территория отеля очень маленькая. Это не минус, но следует учитывать тем, кто привык по-другому.
3. Номерной фонд большой, поэтому многолюдно.

One of the original hotels refurbed nut retains its famous charm from bygone era. Stay here!
Pros:

Great warm staff. Danesh and Mica and so many others. Upgraded to a superior room. Free cocktail on arrival. Travelling alone and felt the staff were so attentive and kind chatting with me and sharing more about themselves. Felt after a day I was with family. Great food. So much choice at breakfast. Hotel recently refurbished and room was amazing. Bathroom was 5 star!

Cons:

האוכל לא היה טעים בא. בוקר, המלון בפועל לא נראה כמו בתמונות. מיושן בהרבה. לא נורא אבל בטח לא נראה מבטיח ויפה כמו בתמונות בבוקינג

Perfect for Honeymoon and couples
Pros:

We went for our honeymoon, and I have to say its the perfect place to be staying for couples for many reasons!
The staff are super friendly and helpful. Tarrik was so nice, he gave us such a nice experience. The staff at the restaurant were also wonderful and everyone was so helpful and informative.

The location is fantastic. You literally walk onto the beach, there are multiple restaurants and a bar, swimming pool and multiple sun beds. The hotel is huge with multple rooms. We had a great room. the rooms are all well equipped, AC, fully functioning, very clean. Room service also fantastic! Location is fantastic, the local beach is great, the locals are friendly. 100% recommend.

The sunset is amazing, the water is crystal clear and you can snorkel there.
