We only stayed at the hotel for three days, but I wish this trip could have lasted so much longer. The apartments are absolutely fantastic — spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. And the sea view is simply breathtaking; waking up to that scenery every morning was a real treat. The entire hotel staff was remarkably kind and helpful throughout our stay. I truly have nothing to complain about when it comes to the quality of the hotel: both the setting and the overall standard of the establishment were simply perfect. I recommend it without hesitation! A special mention goes to Amina, who touched us deeply and with whom we shared an unforgettable stay.

This has to be my favourite hotel that I've ever stayed in. The grounds and rooms are beautiful and immaculately kept. The food is excellent, there are plenty of amenities and entertainment was regularly on offer. The greatest part of this hotel however is its staff. Everyone is so helpful and kind. Desperate to go back! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish, the rooms are clean and quite large, the view is amazing especially at Jetty restaurant. Don't even get me started on the food, we were suprised with the variety and how each item on the menu and buffet were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The staff made the stay 100 times better, everyone was nice and welcoming, specially Mahmoud, Islam Moussa and Amina. The themed evening events and music were sooo pleasant. Overall one of the most beautiful stays we ve ever had in a hotel.

Amazing stay with kids. The view to the sea, the warm welcome of the people and the service were excellent. Buffet with a lot of variety. Very good location and safe. Really big swimming pool. And the sunset from the bridge is just a unique moment.
