the hotel is really nice for families. The inclusive hall is complicated because there are bars and restaurants included but are not identified. For our visits. The shuttle is at 1 p.m. and the restaurant opens at 12:30 p.m. it is not pleasant. None of the staff speaks French it is a shame. The correspondent of Fram Shana could have given us a tour of the site like the others. She was not very accessible and not very pleasant. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the restaurant very good and well presented. Read less

Need a big shout out to Ghaith (from Syria) who happens to be the chef at this, the sister hotel of where we are currently staying. The food tonight was amazing and so much choice! My husband is Lactose Allergic and they couldn’t do enough to help and make sure he was catered for. Thank you IBN Majec!
