It’s a beautiful place, just like on the pictures.

The room and the bathroom were very spacious and had everything you may need.
The staff is very welcoming and helpful.
The breakfast buffet was decent, nothing special. The full selection of fruit wasn’t always available, nor were some other items. I often had to ask them to check if something was in stock, but they always went out of their way to help.
I’d say the biggest disappointment was realizing that the property was probably in good condition years ago. I wouldn’t classify it as a 5-star hotel.
The gym wasn’t great, just decent and barely functional.
The pool area sometimes felt more like a family vacation resort, with loud music. I wouldn’t call it an oasis of peace.
The à la carte restaurant on stilts didn’t look inviting, so we decided not to eat there. Which is a shame because it could be the highlight of this place.

Family friendly staff are good ask for maamoun
There is no access to the beach even if it's in front of the beach, but the location wasn't really good.
If it's high tide you can be broke on the rock
If it's low tide you need to walk maybe for 400 metres on the rocks so they should mention that in the description of the hotel.
To swim, they have to take you to another hotel and you pay 10 dollars to get access to the beach that can be use it for drink or food and its only 2 time for pick up and 2 time drop off so for me if they mention that on the description i will not book there.
evrythink was good but they have to work on this details.
