This was almost a 5 star review - only 1 issue let it down. First the positives: Great location close to the beach and beautiful views from the pool area ( Pool area service very helpful and attentive). Breakfast was excellent - huge choice to cater for everyone and friendly chef preparing omelettes etc to order. Stayed here about 2 years previously - but since then chef and evening menu at the Kamal (casual restaurant) has been completely transformed - food is now exceptionally good. Room had all the amenities you would expect and was kept very clean. Staff everywhere except reception were extremely helpful and friendly. I had however several issues with reception staff - which I think comes down to inadequate training and in a couple of cases poor English (given that over 90% of guests are from the UK, English language capability surely has to be a prerequisite for selection). Final small issue relates to the building itself - looking very tired in places with peeling paint/ plaster - I think this needs to be a priority for the off season.

Hotel is in a great location and nice outdoor space (if you like terrace not garden) and has very nice staff. However the decor is very dated and in need of modernisation to meet the 5 star standard it claims. The bathroom in particular was from the eighties and room had no modern amenities such as latest power points

Well located hotel but a bit tired

The hotel was well located near the beach . However it could help with some redecoration as it was starting to look tired . It was not so easy to get around with its long corridors and change in steps in you are not mobile. Service mediocre & not of high standard .
