    The service, as well as the food and resort layout are great. Every question is answered perfectly and super friendly. Both the buffet and the a la carte offers are very good. The transfer to the beach also works great. Small note: The hotel also offers small excursions free of charge, e.g. into a great cave, as well as into a neighbouring village. Really recommended and performed within 1-2 hours with Guide.

    beautiful gardens
    really good breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    We had a wonderful time appreciating the beautiful gardens and indulging in the really good breakfast each morning. The outdoor swimming pool and beach access were perfect for unwinding under the sun. Just keep in mind that the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy at night.

    amazing staff
    beautiful beach

    The beach was just fine, great soft sand and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Abdu at reception, it was like he was expecting us. And the food? Oh man, we tried this amazing tailor-made pasta cooked by chef Abdul at Spices, it blew my mind.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but still pretty reasonable.

    Beach is great. Fine white sand. Sea basically beautiful. Unfortunately also difficult to swim at low tide and many sea urchins.

    Not much choice of restaurants and average food quality. Staff very friendly but also very slow.

    beautifully designed
    amazing breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    Had a blast with friends! We enjoyed beach volleyball and canoe trips. The place is beautifully designed, and the staff is super friendly. Breakfast was great, and Gabbi beach had great vibes. Just a heads up, though, reserve the oceanview restaurant early if you're planning to eat there.

    Although our overall stay was fun, the noise from the air conditioning made it hard to sleep at times.

    Everything was second to none, amiable staff made our stay really comfortable. Loved the way our modern and beautifully designed room with a great bathroom was arranged. It offered excellent service and outstanding food too. The location was impressive and phenomenal - a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Nothing to complain about, the venue met expectations.

    Unexpected challenges but great staff

    The staff were really good, greeting us with warmth and tailoring meals for our allergies. The beachside restaurant offered good dishes with fine views.

    We faced multiple issues with our room, from a demagnetized key card to a malfunctioning air conditioning unit, made our stay somewhat uncomfortable.
