Lovely Spa Experience

During my stay, I indulged in the Moroccan scrubs and Balinese massages at the spa. The atmosphere was serene, and the therapists were skilled and attentive. It was the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate after a day of exploring the resort's beautiful grounds.

Really good Culinary Delights

The dining experience was excellent! I had the pleasure of enjoying meals at both Rimal and Keizo restaurants. Every dish was beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful. I especially loved the grilled tuna served with mashed potatoes - it was delicious!

Luxury at Its Best

I stayed in a one-bedroom desert pool villa, which was absolutely stunning. The villa featured a temperature-controlled pool, a steam room, and a Bose music system. The attention to detail in the villa amenities truly enhanced my comfort and relaxation.

My stay at this spa hotel was genuinely delightful. The service provided by the team was exceptional, particularly by Binjamin, who made our experience memorable. The luxurious accommodations and serene surroundings were perfect for relaxation. However, I believe the rooms could use some renovation, as they felt a bit dated.

United Kingdom, October 2024

7.0/10

I had an experience that varied quite a bit at this hotel. The location is a bit isolated, making it challenging to explore restaurants outside the resort. The service was attentive and made me feel valued, especially from staff members like Rabea. However, I encountered issues with the check-in process and cleanliness of my villa, which were disappointing given the price. On a positive note, the dining experience was excellent, with delicious food served by friendly staff.

Location

The location is fairly isolated, which limits food options to the resort's offerings. It's a journey of about 45 minutes from the airport, which I wouldn't recommend for those looking to explore.

Dining

The dining options were delightful, particularly the traditional local dishes. I enjoyed a significant selection during my meals, with excellent service from the staff.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities are okay, but the villa itself, along with the amenities, could use some updates to meet modern luxury standards.
