What a magnificent stay we had! I came here with my family (mother, father, husband and 7-year-old son), on a half board basis and we had two rooms next to each other. The rooms are spacious and luxurious with decent views. We arrived late on a Sunday night and were offered room service as the buffets were just closing, amazing service and some of the best food we have ever eaten! The staff at the hotel cannot do enough for you and are so plentiful, you can really see what you are paying for! The pools and beaches are so well kept and spotlessly clean. The food in the buffets (both Saffron and Kaleidoscope) is top notch and varied. My only issue would be a suggestion of more food available for children. The waiters would facilitate this on order, but having some “kid” food available would have been nice. I was disappointed to hear that the shuttle to the mall is no longer in operation, from a commercial point a view I can understand why, but from a customer point of view it works out expensive getting taxis! Early access to the water park is amazing, getting in at 9:30 and getting on all the rides before it gets truly unbearably hot was a god send! Cannot fault the hotel at all, a beautiful place and would love to come back. My only negative, which is of no fault of the hotel at all, is other guests. Some guests are so rude, entitled and downright ignorant, but that may be a “money” or “culture” thing. Read less

We have had the very best few days in this amazing hotel! From the moment we have arrived we have felt like we stepped into a fantasy land. We had a palm king room which was fantastic. Very spacious and comfortable with a lovely view. Our room was served by Sunny and Madan Rai. Thank you both!!! They did a fabulous job. My daughter was delighted with the sharks and the fish cable tidies! She also loved the towel bear we were left one evening. Nothing was ever too much trouble. All staff go out of their way to ensure you have everything you may need. The food was great. We used both buffets and there was plenty of choice even for a fussy 7 year old. The waterpark is amazing. Hours of fun to be had, we used the buggy to get there. A truely fantastic start to our holiday! We can’t wait to come back! Read less
