If you don't expect luxury, everything is really ok, the food is delicious, the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. Those who write negative comments, understand that you are paying a lower price than the 4 seasons hotel. It is simple, but realy good.

The stay had some positives, but there are several areas that could be improved. The rooms are recently renovated and feel fresh, which is appreciated. However, some basic details appear to be overlooked, such as cleaning of smaller in-room items. I would also recommend avoiding connecting rooms unless needed, as sound carries quite easily between them. WiFi was inconsistent during the stay. Breakfast was also underwhelming and felt limited, especially compared to the quality of food served elsewhere in the hotel, which was noticeably better. The overall presentation of the property could benefit from more attention. The exterior appears somewhat unfinished or not well maintained, and some common areas feel a bit tired. At times, walking to the rooms felt more like passing through service areas than guest spaces. The pool area could use additional shade and umbrellas, and there are none available on the beach, which makes it less comfortable during the day. The pool environment can also be lively, which may not suit guests looking for a quieter atmosphere. The staff and service were excellent. Finally, there was an issue with being charged for two dinners that had already been paid directly by credit card. While I expect this will be resolved, it was an inconvenience that required additional time and follow-up. Overall, the hotel has potential, but greater attention to detail and consistency would significantly improve the guest experience.

Very polite and accommodating staff - they kept our room for us even when we arrived 3 days late because of the issues in the Middle East - they refunded us the unused nights without issues.
