Many glowing mentions of staff by name and excellent, warm service; a few isolated reports of unresponsiveness (lost items, reception not listening) but overall service is a clear strength.
Location

Consistently praised: central location, very close to the beach and mall with direct sea access — one of the hotel's strongest points.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as matching photos and in several cases very clean and pleasant; however some guests reported issues related to room cleaning and facility maintenance.
Amenities

Value for Money
8.5
Several guests said the deal was worth it and explicitly mentioned good value; overall perceived as good value for the price paid.

8.3
Breakfast is frequently praised as excellent; some comments request more variety for breakfast and dinner and note average evening meals — generally positive but with room for improvement.
Overall Experience
8.1
Many guests recommend the hotel, highlight memorable stays (weddings, friendly staff) and say everything was great; however recurring cleanliness and occasional service lapses temper the score.

Pros:

Хорошее расположение, выход на море прямо из отеля, всегда было место на лежаках в спа и на бассейне. Довольно вкусная еда

Cons:

При заезде не было халатов в номере, написала сообщение, от начала и до отъезда никто халатов не принес. Полотенца не меняют, попросила горничную поменять, она ответила, что нету.

Pros:

מיקום מלון מצויין צמוד לחוף, ספא נקי ומסודר, אוכל מדהים מבחר ענק של הכל מהכל טרי נקי מוגש יפה, חדרים גדולים מרווחים,מיזוג מעולה

Cons:

ניקיון בחדר במרפסת דק מלא בדלי סיגריות חלון יציאה מלוכלך מאוד, בחדר עצמו לא נקי
פה משקוף שבור שם דלת מקלפת וילונות לא מסודרים
הזמנו חדר לזוג נתנו לנו 2 מיטות מחוברות מיזמן לא נתקלתי לא ביקשתי מיטה זוגית אבל זה ניראה לי סטנדרטי
הייתי עם בעלי והילדים מן הסתם החברה מצויינת אבל לא יחזור למלון ניקיון זה הדבר הכי הכי חשוב

Altogether we were pleased because we mainly wanted to take advantage of the Dead Sea!
Pros:

The best part is the Spa, with various pools, all in one place. Showers, easy access to towels, all without extra cost

Cons:

The deluxe room was nice but was missing a hairdryer and a place to dry swimming gear! The shower was leaking with water on the floor. The table was wobbly.
