When we arrived at 7pm, we were informed that no double‑bed room was available, despite having specifically requested it and noting this in our booking. We were instead offered a king room, or a king room with a crib, neither of which was acceptable, particularly given that we were on vacation and had paid extra for a sea‑view room. After some back‑and‑forth, we were eventually given two king‑size bedrooms, but both rooms had multiple issues. Although the design was modern, the quality did not meet five‑star standards. In my room, the fridge was leaking, the safe was not functioning, and the water was not warm enough for a bath, requiring several maintenance visits. During my stay I heard a weird water sound (flushing) several times, I did not figure out what it was until the day I was leaving, turns out the toilet seat flushes on its own, and no it is not a sensor based seat.. it is a manual flushing toilet. I am generally not demanding when it comes to food, and I am familiar with Arab cuisine, but the breakfast was below basic expectations, not even in line with what one would find in a three‑star hotel. While the staff tried their best to resolve issues, and were generally nice, it was such a disappointing stay.

The good: Decent breakfast, nice pool (closes as early as 6:30pm), private beach, view from the room balcony, friendly bellman and breakfast staff. The not so good: Loud DJ music and noise by the pool area just below our room late into the night despite complaining to the front office about it. Thankfully I had ear plugs to dampen the noise and go to sleep. Dirty carpet and bed sheet/pillow cases in our room with hair and dark stains, leading to a room change after complaining to the general manager who apologized for the room’s condition but thought it could be related to the washing machine. One of the pool attendants or life guards was rude to my significant other taking away an umbrella she was using by the pool area without asking her or acknowledging her presence or apologizing even after she let him know she was using that umbrella.
