The guest experience

9.2out of 10
1553 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Beautiful property and perfect sea views
  • Excellent food and menu
  • Very friendly, helpful and hospitable staff (generally)
  • Lovely beach and reef; great location
  • Clean and well maintained
  • Free access to spa and gym; good activities

Worth knowing — Some rooms are outdated with old furniture and bathrooms · Long walking distances across the property · Occasional noise for rooms near the marina · Lack of evening entertainment / limited kids activities · Isolated reports of intrusive staff behaviour toward a solo female guest · Management not enforcing rules (e.g., feeding fish, dress code); animal welfare concerns (camels)

  • Value for Money9.2

    Standard quality for this hotel tier

  • Service9.0

    Consistently praised as extremely friendly, helpful and hospitable in many reviews, but one detailed report of intrusive behaviour toward a solo female guest and some lapses in enforcement of policies.

  • Wie nach Hause kommen

    10/10

    Verena · solo traveller · 2026-10-08

    “Der Service in der Laguna Lounge von Fattah, Nataj und Ahmed war wieder sehr gut. Wir hatten das Gefühl, nach Hause zu kommen, weil sich jeder an uns erinnert hat. Fattah hat alle kleinsten Probleme sehr diplomatisch gelöst und behoben. Der Zimmer Service von Hassan war top (5311). Er hat uns immer sehr großzügig mit Wasser versorgt. Ahmed im Fitnessstudio war ein sehr motivierter Trainer. Hoffe, dass meine Motivation jetzt auch anhält. Romay am Strand hat uns jeden Tag unsere Liegen eingerichtet und nett mit uns geplaudert. Alle waren super und immer engagiert. Feedback z. B. Nichtraucherschutz in der Laguna Lounge wurde umgesetzt. Danke, wir kommen sicher bald wieder.”

    “Accoglienza squisita, personale fantastico sempre sorridente e disponibile a soddisfare qualsiasi richiesta. Location fantastica, pulizia maniacale ristorazione di alto livello con tantissime soluzioni per un'ampia scelta. Spa e area fitness gratuite, bellissime e pulitissime. Già il Reef della spiaggia antistante l'albergo è molto bello ma con navetta gratuita c'è la possibilità di arrivare in 10 minuti a grandissimo pontile che porta ad altra barriera corallina. Tramonti meravigliosi...”
