The hotel is good. Located near Byblos. I do love this city.
In Lebanon, all beaches are paid. I do not recommend relaxing on wild beaches, especially for girls. Paid beaches are purely for women and in resorts. Entrance fee from 20$ on weekdays. Weekends are more expensive. The better and more popular the beach, the naturally it is more expensive.
If you rent a room for the weekend, the entrance to the beach, parties, pools, etc. is free. So it's even better. Entrance to the beach at the weekend costs 30 euros per person and for a party from 50 euros, depending on the DJ and program. So it turns out only the beach for 2 days and the party goes 220 for two, not counting the time and money spent on the road. and a hotel room 100-150ue.

For those who want a quiet holiday, the hotel is not suitable. It's noisy everywhere - on the beach and by the pools there is music all day, from 10 pm there is a beach party, they make noise until 2-3 at night. The restaurants have live music in the evenings and just music all day. Such an atmosphere on most beaches in a word.
The beach is good, wide, they always clean it. Sunset in the sea sand. There is a bar on the beach, you can order any drinks or food.
There are many pools, cascading. There is one VIP pool. Tents which cost 100ue. But it’s very beautiful there, tents are paid even for hotel guests, alas (
In the hotel restaurants you can order both Lebanese and European cuisine. But I still recommend trying the local one. I really love Lebanese cuisine. You can go to dinner or lunch in Byblos. It's going to be hot as hell for lunch. And you may not be able to have dinner because in the evenings all the restaurants are crowded and even if you find a place, you will have to wait a very long time for your order. I mean the weekend. On weekdays, of course, there are no such problems.
There is no dress code at the hotel, you can even go to restaurants in beach shorts. Sometimes there are dress codes at parties, but few people follow them.
Service at the hotel is high everywhere except restaurants. Waiters there are in no hurry, especially in the evening.
The hotel is generally very good for relaxing. I have been to many resorts in Lebanon and this one is one of the best. For not expensive, you can live in a 3 * building (by Turkish standards, this is 5 *) and use the entire 5 * infrastructure. I did not think that the hotel is divided into 3 and 5 stars. The difference is: 3 * - hotel, 5 * - bungalow.
And in order not to talk about the military and political problems of Lebanon, I feel safer there than in Ukraine.
