Romantic meal on the beach - decor was nice and food was lovely ( best out of the 10 days , proves that the chef can actually cook )
Gardens and views - gardens are well kept and the views around the hotel are lovely
Now for the not so good points -
Birds / flies .. as it is open concept at meal times flies and birds are everywhere, even when you wait for your omelette of a morning there are about 50 flies on the floor right next to you , when they ‘ clean ‘ the tables they just brush the crumbs on the floor with the table cloth and put it back on , they don’t remove any cutlery on the table from the previous person if they look clean , even when they take your own plates away they give you back the dirty cutlery to use again .
Drinks was average
Food - was very average as best , meat was so chewy , lots of curry dishes but they all just tasted the same.
Entertainment- rubbish , only seen aqua gym every other day and evening , every just goes to bed after their dinner as it’s not worth staying up for.
Pools - the one by the food area is a waste as no beds so it’s just there for show, then the other 2 has green mold around the edges ( I did see a pool guy there a couple of times but he just hoovered the floor)
Burger bar - where do I start , food is actually okay in here but you wait sooooo long for drinks or food while some of the staff just stand around pretending to be busy. The beer is either warm or runs out very quickly. More

When I asked for a washed cup, she did it again. I then asked if I can have a cup that someone didn't just drink from, at which point the manager or someone came over and gave me a clean cup. I was absolutely baffled by the whole scenario.
The quality of the food was low. The only good food were the indian dishes (note that I'm not Indian nor have been there so no idea how authentic it was) as they tasted very good and were somewhat spicy. Also the fried eggs at breakfast were good. Everything else was kind of awful.
The bar staff had zero training whatsoever. They didn't know how to make most of the cocktails so they googled them there and then or improvised. None of them were even close to what they're supposed to be. Also, when asking for dry wine, the bartender kept giving me very sweet ones. They had no idea what they were serving.
So while the room, the view and the pool were nice, I really cannot recommend the hotel. The staff are not professionally trained at all. More

On my trip one day I missed the toilet door and entered in the kitchen this is the most disgusting kitchen ever seen, very dirty, greasy, chefs sweating, crocroach, bad odor,slippery floor
How can the sanitary authorities can allowed this type of kitchen still operating. Till this day I prefer not to eat in there restaurants. I meet also the Chef Mr Nageaa too ask for halal certificate he gave me an expiry one not even mention the hotel name on it. Without complaining to anyone the so called director Mr Kishaan and the General Manager Mr Manoj meet me at the bar talking to us that we are his family, they have two hotels etc... MR DIRECTOR KISHAAN and MR GM Manoj kindly treat your staff well first your family is your staff they have torn shoes, bad uniforms, old pants. Humamanity, the cooks shoes make me feel very bad. I will not recommend any tour operator to send your guest there and not even for the restaurant disgusting kitchen.

Food awful, seemed to be 80% of the guests were Indian so the food was always Rice with curried meat. No chips. Had to beg chef each night for plain... read more pizza and thank god otherwise we would have starved.
I lost 8kg in one week.
Mainly from the fruit based mocktails and awful food.
The sports equipment which you had to sign for was snooker cues without tips and broken table tennis balls so when you walk round the corner it’s no surprise to find the tables broken as well.
Entertainment is non existent unless you class the overweight staff jingling and pretending to belly dance. Worst I’ve ever witnessed. Nothing to do after pleasant beach sunset walk as the tv in rooms have one English Channel a the beds are rock hard.
You can also hear everything from next door due to the shared door.
Spa isn’t a Spa, jacuzzi not heated and loads of broken tiles which also fills with rain water.
Staff are pleasant but low intelligence.
Unfortunately the transport driver stole our mobile phone so not the best first few days as had to track it and go and collect it myself. Not hotels fault but the travel company who provided the transport.
Stunning sunsets and man made scenery though.
Gardens are very well kept.
Maintenance not kept up as loungers green and pool furniture never been cleaned. Now seeing as you have a member of staff sat guarding the rags of towel surely that member of staff would be better put to use and pool drinks service didn’t exist most days.
Expected paradise like the zilwa attitude we previously stayed at. Instead this was awful food very limited and desperation to get home.

Hotel- grounds are beautiful and staff are friendly, sea view room stunning.
Food- not for us , burger bar was not great and burgers (beef and chicken poor quality and cooked pink despite asking for well done, Buffett restaurant limited choose (unless u eat curry & fish) the pizza was all we ate every night.
Insects - big issues with insects, and birds in restaurant, and stray cats riddled in fleas.
Evening entertainment not really maybe a bit of dancing but mainly just a DJ, entertainment team appearance to just be walking around all day.
All saying that it was a good break away but wouldn’t visit again.

Another disappointment thing is the food. They do not know how to cook or serve the meals. Very poor buffet spread and strictly no for Indians.
We interacted with the chef and told him our concern.. asked him to prepare something for us or at least take care of the following meals, to which the answer was so shocking..
He does not know how to make it, and he does not have the staff.
Would not recommend this property to anyone even if they offer the stay for free.
