I stayed here as a Solo traveller.
The room was lovely with a balcony looking out over the pool and the Ocean.
All the Staff were amazing. They treated me like a queen. Nothing was too much for them. Always up for a laugh and a joke and making me feel comfortable. Very attentive. If you have time talk to them. They are very eager to practice their english as they often don't get a chance to. Be aware that their trading techniques are different to ours so some may seem the traders as pushy. Don't be disheartened. Be firm and say "la, shukraan!" (No Thank You!).
At the Hotel they have in house activity centres - if you don't fancy scouting places out.
Their Spa is very, very, very, very basic and you could get the same treatments else where for a better price. However the lady that gave me a massage was very good.
The Aqua Centre, on the beach, offers activities from snorkeling to trips in a glass boats. They also have contacts for things like parasailing. Or you can stay at the hotel hire Fins and a Mask and check out the sea life in the bay or try your hand at windsurfing!
The Dive Centre offers many trips from beginner divers to intermediate divers. I did two half day trips; two dives and lunch on the Red Sea. It was delightful. Beautiful family unit and great teachers for both adult and kids.
The Animation team are a ball of energy. Always offering kids activities and family entertainment during the day and the evening. My only pick is that there was a lack of english songs in the karaoke list!
To begin with I didn't really like the food. Too much salt. But it got better over time and the busier the hotel got the better the selection. The chefs and restaurant team were flawless and i looked forward to seeing their faces at meal times.
Their main clientele are Eastern European. So they catered to mainly them when it came to entertainment (see the karaoke comment) and announcements and maybe the earlier food selection. Although i cant really fault them on that too much as i was the only english guest there for the first couple of days. They soon rectified this and are more aware of the guests that come to the hotel. The beach is small which is fine but there are flys that bite and that put me off spending days on the beach. Instead i organised a trip to some of the islands.
This is defiantly for non snobbish people. Its a budget holiday, one of the smaller resorts, but offers a great service with a big heart.
I will return one day! :)
