This is a nice place for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are very clean, and the staff are friendly. The service and hospitality are impressive, especially when you realize that it’s not intrusive and not done just for tips, like, for example, in Egypt. The location is convenient — you can go for walks, and it’s also very quick and inexpensive to get to the city center or the mall by taxi. I lowered my rating mainly because of the food. First, the fruits at dinner were not very fresh — it felt like the leftover watermelon from breakfast was simply cut up for dinner. As for desserts, there were no familiar sweets, mostly sponge cakes. It would also be nice if the products were changed at least twice a day, because having the same food all the time gets boring. Another suggestion would be to place speakers by the pools so there would at least be some music. Overall, I had a good impression. I will recommend it, but I probably wouldn’t come back myself, as there was nothing particularly surprising or breathtaking. Thank you.

We booked this stay a day before to celebrate our anniversary. I've mentioned the event we're celebrating. We we're surprised by the complementary cake and romantic bed arrangement they set up and upgraded our room. My wife was so happy. The hotel room was nice and has big space, beach is only nearby, pools are big and clean and all staff from reception to housekeeping for our requests all were accommodating. We'd like to thank Ms Rona of Horizon Restaurant for assisting us from dinner to breakfast. All food is good with many options. It was a truly great stay. My wife is looking forward for our next Rotana hotel stay.

The buffet was amazing. The food was cooked to perfection and the omelette was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Everything was fresh. The cleanliness of the rooms was exceptional, spot-on. All the amenities including the pool, beach, and spa were very fun. The staff service was amazing and I truly felt welcomed. I’ve been coming here for 10 years now and I would happily visit again. 10/10

If you’re heading here for the weekday buffet lunch, I’d suggest adjusting expectations. While the hotel itself is undeniably beautiful and lives up to the 5-star ambiance, the buffet was underwhelming. The spread was limited, with a strong focus on Western and Mediterranean dishes — not quite what I had in mind. If you’re expecting a more diverse or luxurious selection, especially from an Indian or Asian perspective, this might fall short.

During our stay at the hotel, we had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the culinary talents of Chef Mohammad. From the very first meal, it was clear that his passion for food goes far beyond the kitchen. Every dish he prepared was not only delicious but crafted with precision, creativity, and genuine care. Chef Mohammad took the time to understand our preferences and even customized certain meals to make them extra special. His warm personality and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and valued, turning every dining experience into a memorable moment. Whether it was the beautifully presented breakfast spreads, flavorful lunch selections, or gourmet dinner creations — everything was truly top-notch. You can taste the love and skill in every bite. Thank you, Chef Mohammad, for making our stay unforgettable. You are a true master of your craft and a wonderful person. We look forward to coming back and enjoying your food again soon!
