Chose this hotel for a New Year's trip.
The bay is cozy, there was almost no wind, we swam all day, the reef is right next to this hotel. The sea is beautiful, there were no miles (normal for both adults and children). Lots of fish.
The hotel is great, I would rate 2 * in not 4 * (seriously), although there are better rooms, but ...Arrived at night, settled in a standard room, or something called that. It is simply unrealistically wonderful - renovated 15-20 years ago (without exaggeration), synthetic bedding and very old and worn (see photo).
I didn't want to change anything at night.
The next day, choosing the tactics of bribery, it worked. They offered to change for the best for $ 25 for all days, or for a large suite (suit) on the other floor near the beach for $ 25 surcharge per night. I looked at both options, choosing a suite $ 25 x6 = $ 150. It is much better than where we spent the first night, although also quite old and worn (but tolerable).

The problem with accommodation is solved.
But you can't change the restaurant ...
Most salads and cold appetizers are not edible because they are not of good quality or tasty.
The main dishes are dosed by a dude-type-cook, gives a minimalist piece of meat, for example, it all happens with facial expressions, so you do not think to ask for another piece. It is not planned to collect meat or fish yourself - everything is given out by that dude. Queues for main dishes without exaggeration 5-7-10 minutes, it's just some kind of USSR.
For dinner, only 2 types of meat (usually just greased chicken and some beef) and 1 type of fish (usually fried or stewed some small pieces of fish, often some trimmings, not a full-fledged fillet).
There are no quality cheeses.
Of the fruits - only fresh dates, halved unwashed tangerines.
A week after returning to my wife, I was diagnosed with an intestinal infection (I didn't, because I have high acidity, I probably didn't survive).
Mangoes were bought in neighboring trays or shops ($ 5 / kg, delicious).
The last two days we had dinner near the eateries (Lebanese cuisine, not expensive), because there was no strength to tolerate their food.
On this site I see that there are false reviews written to order - they clearly have descriptions of not this hotel, for example there is no shuttle bus to the sea, etc. because the sea is right next to the hotel.
Everything he wrote is true. fair; -)
