We are currently staying here with our 14 year old and it's one of the best holidays we've had. The food is amazing, very varied and a wide choice each day. Pools are beautiful but a bit cold for me in April. Rooms are spotless and our housekeeper surprises us each day with the art she makes with the towels! Entertainment team are really friendly and not too pushy, there is something going on all time. Beach is adjacent to the hotel with clear water and white sand. All the staff are friendly, polite and can't do enough for us. The hotel has an international clientele which gives the place a really inclusive atmosphere. Would highly recommend *****.

Iberostar Royal El Mansour is a true gem! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like royalty. The hotel's location is perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to local attractions. My room was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the modern amenities one could wish for. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. What truly sets this hotel apart is its staff. Each member was professional, courteous, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure my stay was perfect. Whether it was the warm welcome at reception, the attentive service in the restaurants, or the helpful tips from the concierge, every interaction was a delight. Iberostar Royal El Mansour exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for a luxurious and memorable stay with outstanding service, look no further than this exceptional hotel!

We stayed here for a week and had the best time ever. Firstly, the rooms were great size and clean and decent views. The service has been amazing from the staff and entertainment team. Everyday has been fun with different stuff happening. The views are incredible and the pools are lovely. Water polo is fun! They have a variety of activities to take part in aswell. Overall would really recommend it, the location is great too! Safe place.

Overall an amazing holiday, we booked the hotel and before reaching we had some concerns after reading some negative reviews. But once we are there we had a wonderful time. The rooms are very spacious well maintained. Staff - I don’t want to name a particular member as exceptional. Almost everyone worked very hard and are caring. Food - There are plenty of varieties to choose from, we enjoyed the food and drinks. The entertainment team always keeps busy engaging people around to join on various activities. Place is nice, easy access to the beach, city is also nice to walk around. Not a very busy place. The easy jet and love holidays staff at the reception are very helpful on gave guidance on local tours or activities etc. There are few details they could improve on but I would rather leave them in the grand-scale of good things

We had a great stay here, we spent 4 nights in a Riad in the Medina and then came here for 3 nights relaxation before coming home. Best decision ever. We didn't want to leave! The staff were amazing, food delicious, activities and shows were excellent. We were grateful we had done the city first, so that we could stay in the resort. We will be back 100%

Chloe Jones

We had such a lovely stay here, staff were so friendly and welcoming! The food was incredible every night, more than your standard all you can eat buffet! There was so much to do, we needed another week to be able to do all the activities on offer! We came as two adults but there’s also so many options for adults too. It is really easy to book excursions too!

Lisa Church

This is such a beautiful hotel! Staff are absolutely incredible. Youseff and souki are so friendly and happy. Adraoui has looked after us by the pool so we'll. The food is lovely. So much going on. The entertainment staff work SO hard. They are an absolute credit to iberostar. We will be back.

andy cameron

Just back from a very enjoyable golf break in Marakesh. The Iberostar Palmeraie was home for the week and the hotel was a great base and we were very well looked after. The rooms were clean, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food was plentiful and of good quality. Would recommend.

CazStechy

Have been here 3 times now same hotel, the staff are all amazing and go out of their way to help with everything. Treated like family. Entertainment fabulous every night. Food to die for and my creamy coffees on tap. Suki and all the entertainment team are what really top it all off. I’ll be back without a doubt. Love it. Thank you for everything xx

Chloe Gillan

Rooms are nothing like the photos. The shower head must never get cleaned. The food in the restaurant was tolerable. Sometimes the service was very good from the staff and bar staff but other times it felt like you just were not wanted. The guy who did the entertainment throughout the day and at night was amazing he is the only thing about the place that was good.

Chris Williams

My partner and I stayed here for a week in the middle of April. Overall I'd say the hotel was okay for the money we paid. Our room was rather sparse and definitely needed a refresh. No Aircon and the ceiling fan in the living room/kitchen area had a hole in the ceiling behind it so we were reluctant to turn it on out of fear it would fly off and decapitate one of us. There were also only two electrical sockets in the entire apartment, neither of which were in the bedroom. We had heard lots of reports of guests rooms being broken into during their stay. Luckily that didn't happen to us but it did put us on our guard, especially after finding out the hotel was also home to full time residents, not strictly hotel guests. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was tasty. My only criticism about the food was that it was a little repetitive, especially breakfast and there wasn't a huge range to choose from. During peak times food was eaten quickly and not replenished at the same rate so you'd often have to wait. While I can't say I'd recommend the hotel, it wasn't an awful experience for us personally, but I certainly wouldn't be in a rush to go back.

This was my first holiday in 2.5 years. I've been coming to this hotel for almost 10 years. And I can safely say it has massively gone downhill since I first stayed. Anna on reception isn't welcoming at all when you check in. No smiles, no kindness or warmness about her. How she still works there is beyond me. However there was a gentleman who worked on reception who was lovely. So friendly and chatty if you were just passing through or needed any help/info. The rooms are very old and in serious need of updating. We had a room to sleep 3, which was just a third bed placed in the living room. The drawers were broken and barely usable. The light above the mirror in the bedroom was flickering, but credit where it's due when we mentioned this to reception it was fixed promptly. The WiFi isn't free and you have to pay for it, which baffles me in this day & age when so many places it's free. So I just used my own phone data but signal wasn't always great. You also had to pay extra for the use of a safe. Which I do recommend as I've heard of many people having things taken from their room. The tap in the bath didn't run properly. To have a bath you had to fill it up using the shower which isn't ideal and obviously time consuming. The sunbeds in the pool area have a lot that need replacing. Food is pretty decent with different choices each lunch and dinner time. Often a great salad selection and choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians. At breakfast time one of the hot drinks machines kept breaking, which meant most mornings there was a large queue for hot drinks. Desserts were much the same most nights, the cakes don't really taste of much so I always opted for a bowl of ice cream or some kiwi fruit. Restaurant staff were always very hard working and friendly. As were the bar staff! Credit to them for their hard work and politeness. A credit to the hotel. The entertainment team....im used to there being between 3-5 of them. However this time there was only 2, which is perhaps very hard work for them, and only 4/5 activities on offer per day when usually there's a lot more. Lauren was very friendly and encouraged people to join in, but was never pushy. The other guy (never got his name) was very much trying to make sure attention was always on him. And not in a cheeky chappy kind of way. I feel sorry for the entertainment team because the resources they have to use are years old and in desperate need of replacement. Entertainment at night was only 9.15 while 10 most nights. People used to be able to watch the entertainment then get up and have a dance all together and enjoy the night. It almost seemed pointless getting ready for an evening of entertainment for a mere 45minutes. The location of the hotel is good. Walking to Las Galletas is easy, with a lovely harbour and ice cream shop. Now the Ten Bel place has been updated and has a supermarket in it this is a it more of a pleasant walk than it used to be. There's also a lovely walk along the sea near by that is popular with dog walkers and joggers, as well as a gentle walk on Yellow Mountain. The bus to las Americas comes near by the hotel and costs €1.50 each way and takes about 35mins ish. As I've seen a huge decline in this hotel I can't say it'll be at the top of my list for a while, which is very sad to say as I've had some lovely holidays and memories at this hotel. However general consensus around the pool with other regular visitors is that the hotel has massively declined.

Don't bother! We booked for a bit of Easter holiday sun (9-16th April 2025) We got the sun but the hotel left a lot to be desired, even for a budget hotel. The rooms were dated and reminded me of a hostel experience Id once had as a student! Fine when you are 18 but not 30 years later with 2 kids! Note to all, if you have a late departure they insist on cutting off your wrist bands when you hand in your room key at noon. Our transfer time was 17:00 so we had 5 hours to kill! They give you a voucher so that you can go into the 'restaurant' and get lunch (didn't bother) but if want to be able to stay hydrated around the pool then no can do at Don Pedro! One guy on reception was lovely and very helpful, and the entertainment people were upbeat and enthusiastic but apart from that some of them were just downright rude! I felt like i had travelled back in time to the Armada My advice: Stay home and get a sunlamp!

Hello, here's an honest review of this hotel. We visited as a family from the UK just a few days ago, stayed for 5 nights, booked thru sunshine holidays. The place is 3 stars but looks a bit run down in places, the rooms are dated, furniture is old, but everything works and overall decent. You pay to rent lounger towels if you want or just buy your own from shops. You have to pay for WIFI, and a deposit for the tv remote in the room if you're phone doesn't have an for it. Mine did. The staff are welcoming and nice, helpful when needed but that's about it. Most of them that work directly with the customers seem to speak many languages. Plenty of tourists from the UK, France, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe even Russians who are everywhere for some reason, so people are happy with the place. But remember this is not 4 or 5 stars, you get what you pay for. There is a decent reception area, you walk through, then you have the restaurant on the left, and after that the complex sprawls everywhere, with a central pool in the middle and a kids pool at the corner of it. the bar is to the left of the pool, that's where most stay during the day. The complex is mostly hotel apartments with a few of them seem to be sold and the owners live on site. If you explore, you can find a little footbal court, a sand volleyball court and a mostly abandoned bowls area. There are the usual rules of don't reserve your lounger but most still do early morning, no music in the pool area from your phone or speaker as you get some from the bar sound system etc. There are loads of trees and plants around the place, and green parrots everywhere which were a joy to see. Our kids were happy with everything, maybe the pool water could be heated a bit, most people don't go in because of it. Same with the kids pool which is in the shade most of the day. Maybe it isn't a problem in the summer. Entertainment by the bar in the evenings, we didn't bother with it as we have little kids, but it can get loud if your apartment is close to that area. The food was decent, pretty good variety and quality, plenty of fruit and deserts, usual bar with cheap all inclusive drinks, again everything in line with the price you pay and the rating. Same stuff with the reviews here or on google, most people that write these reviews like to complain, the ones that were happy with it don't bother so you don't get a realistic view of it. But that's what you get here, a decent but somewhat dated place that works for the majority, if you want a cheap getaway in the south of the island you won't get much cheaper than this, and it's a good deal. So 4/5 from us. Thanks again to the staff and maybe see you again!

stayed at this hotel for three nights in a family room in last 23rd of April 2025. The resort is located in side City, near Antalya, and is easily accessible to the bazaar and other street shops, either on foot or by mini-bus. There are many positive aspects of this hotel. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the pools and water slides provide a fun and relaxing environment for families with children. Additionally, there is an adults-only pool where you can relax without any disturbances from kids. Overall i am very happy for their hospitality And one guy worked in Irish bar mehmet he’s such nice guy and very helpful person. And reception lady sevgi as well.

maizy barnard

Stayed here last year, can’t fault the hotel it was lovely, food was nice and the coffee and pastries cafes were so good. My only comment is that this hotel did not cater for British people as not many British in the hotel when we was there anyway!, no disrespect just thought would be useful for other Brit’s to know😄 Also the area isn’t great if you like to go out and do things in the evening, only really shops around and a couple of bars, also the beach has only hotels for miles but is a lovely beach.

Ari Yunus

Clean and spacious room, excellent service, and complete facilities (pool, gym, spa, restaurant). The bed was super comfortable and the location is perfect — close to everything. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! Rating: 5/5

Keaton W

Upon arrival I was met by Guven he was the nicest person I have met here he was really helpful and full of smiles, there was nothing he could not help me with he was fantastic. He took my bags to our room without hesitation which was great to see. Omer who was our night auditor he was amazing he was really helpful and full of information and made me and my partner feel so welcome and for this me and my partner will definitely be coming back here again !

Eleanor Peacock

The staff in this hotel couldn’t be more helpful. They are brilliant. From the second we arrived they were so attentive and helped with everything we needed. Special shoutout to Omer and Guven, you guys made our trip extra special. The hotel rooms are gorgeous and the toiletries selection left in the room was the best I have ever had… endless shampoo, conditioner, dressing gowns, slippers and so on. The fully stocked mini fridge was a nice surprise aswell! Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.

Maureen D

The staff were lovely, and the food in the day was good. Snacks at night are not so good, it was the same bread, meat and salad. The staff was also eating it! I suppose it doesn't matter now, as they had a fire when I was there, perhaps it's closed for the rest of this season It'll give them the opportunity to put in fire alarms and train staff on evacuation procedures!!

michal s

Beautiful place , hotel and food is great although there is a lot of Russians and is better to stay at hotel as in the city they all want your money. My daughter was approached by some weirdo who was apparently some boss son. Not the best experience for me and my family overall. Spain is much better .

YJ W

Just had a 5-night holiday with two young children 3 and 6 in late October 2024. What I like about this place: 1. WiFi available on beach (but the coverage is not great) 2. Great view 3. Good ice cream and milkshake from 1100 to 1800 everyday. 4. There is real coffee from the coffee corner 5. The hotel offers a good value one day boat trip to some great places to swim and casual dive. 6. There is a path by the beach - great for relaxed and quiet walks to two nearby towns. 7. Take away from food court is handy. What I dislike about this place 1. Quality of food is not very consistent - two dinners basic and nothing special and two dinners above average. 2. There is a long queue everyday during dinner time. 2. No food between 2100 and 2300. 3. Gym closes at 2100 and opens at 0900. No chance for a morning or evening workout. 4. Uncomfortable beds and pillows 5. Kids club is basic and can only take 4+ 6. Lots of mosquitoes by the three outdoor pools. Overall, will I recommend this place to friends? This place is not perfect but can be shortlisted. Will I return in the future? Probably no.

We had a fantastic week at this hotel, visiting at the end of the season with our two children. It is quite a shady spot, so I imagine in very hot weather it is perfect, but at the end of the season the pools were quite cold. However, the sea was lovely for swimming and there is a good indoor pool with a great Turkish spa. Some reviews don’t rate the food, but we thought it was fab. Loads of choice, all cooked well and very tasty. When it’s busy the buffet area could be quite crowded. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and our bathroom looked like it had recently been re-done. Great shower. There isn’t a beach, so for young children there isn’t an option for playing on the sand and paddling. We didn’t use the kids’ club but it didn’t look very inspiring when we visited. Entertainment in the amphitheatre was ok but not much on as end of season. Imagine it’s much better in height of summer. We opted for the Asian meal as our a la carte option - I strongly recommend not to do this as it was quite bad. Of course we should have gone for Turkish in Turkey! Staff were kind and attentive, the kids loved our waitress Eva. Overall we loved this hotel and would recommend.

Sharon Rutherford

Beautiful location, clean and tidy, as a veggie/pescatarian I loved the food, so much choice, the salads are devine. Always somewhere to sit on the beach/pier. Saw some fab acrobatic shows and enjoyed the boat trip from the hotel. Hotel a bit old fashioned but that's not an issue for us. Our grandson had a wicked time. We would return. Would be great if the hotel could supply reusable cups and water chillers rather than water in plastic bottles.

Hema Solanki

Took my grandchildren. Kids had a lovely week due to the pools and slides. Not far from the airport, so transfer time was good. However, at check-in, they had me on their system but, for some reason, said the information was incorrect. After two and a half hours and a heated conversation, we got into our rooms. It was 9.30 pm, so it was not a great start. The room desperately needs updating. For example, the wall sockets are loose, the shower door does not close, and the kettle and lamp are broken. But for me, I just felt the whole bathroom needed a deep clean. Apart from the reception staff, all the site staff were lovely. Would I return? Absolutely not.

I recently stayed at El Karma Aqua Beach Resort in Hurghada for seven days to celebrate my birthday with three friends. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly by tour guide called Mohammed, who was extremely helpful with our luggage, check-in process, and ensuring we could get some food after our journey. The resort itself looked beautiful, and our rooms had a lovely view of the pool and palm trees. However, our experience was a mix of highs and lows. The weather was quite windy and cold for the first few days, but we still tried to make the most of the pools and resort facilities—only to find out that most of the pools were freezing. There was just one heated pool, which was always overcrowded, making it difficult to enjoy. The biggest letdown was the food and drinks for an all-inclusive resort, the variety was extremely limited, and snacks outside of restaurant hours were restricted to just burgers and fries. Even worse, the quality was poor. The man preparing the snacks would sometimes serve undercooked burgers and fries, and they were often cold. On top of that, he was incredibly rude, throwing food onto plates rather than serving it properly, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. When we visited the Italian restaurant, we were surprised to learn that drinks and à la carte menu options came with an extra charge—something we found unreasonable, given that we had already paid for all-inclusive service. Room service was practically nonexistent, and the overall service from staff left much to be desired. When we raised concerns, we often felt ignored, as if we were talking to a wall. The staff seemed uninterested in helping, and some were outright rude. One particular experience stood out at the spaghetti station, where the cook had a bad attitude and seemed unwilling to serve guests properly. To make matters worse, the food quality was poor, and it made us feel unwell during our stay. There weren’t many options available, and what was there was far from appetizing. Transportation around the area was also inconvenient, making it difficult to explore outside the resort. While the resort itself isn’t terrible, it definitely needs major improvements—especially in food quality, service, and staff hospitality. Thankfully, towards the end of our trip, we discovered El Gouna, which was an absolute gem. This beautiful area had an amazing selection of restaurants—perfect for anyone who might be tired of resort food. The dining options were far superior, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. The Marina in Hurghada city also stunning, making it a great place to walk around and take in the views. I only wish we had known about it sooner, as it was one of the highlights of our trip. Would I return? Probably not. Until they improve their customer service and overall experience, I wouldn’t recommend this resort to others looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. I only gave it two stars for the views and spacious room but overall not a nice stay !

Sobrina Husbands

Me and my family stayed here for a week at the end of April. I highly would not recommend!! On arrival, they could not find two of our bookings, We was waiting for three hours without any water or anything being offered… My five-year-old niece was sick in reception While waiting three hours for them to find us a room. The staff at reception are really rude and not helpful, They was being disrespectful in Arabic, but they didn’t anticipate that my son speaks Arabic and could understand everything they were saying about us and their other guests. The food was appalling and all seven of us had food poisoning!! The pool area and the slides are amazing for children and I would say this was the highlight of the hotel, however I have stayed in Hurghada a couple of times before and had a lovely experience. When checking out we was accused of stealing a blanket and a pillow, for them find out it was misplaced by housekeeping. The manager was friendly and helpful, and without him honestly I think the whole experience would have been nothing short of a nightmare. Please don’t waste your money.

Safina Ali

If the hotel wants to improve and increase business then there are few main points they need to consider. 1. Get lifts installed 2. Up grade the rooms simple DIY fixes 3. Pool floats either repair the room full of punctured floats you have or buy more as there is not enough to go around which causes arguments between guests. 4. Entertainment especially at night needs a BIG improvement, the entertainers look like they just make things up as they go along it’s the worst organised entertainment I’ve ever seen and I travel a lot. 5. Up grade the dinning room to make it feel inviting and comfortable to eat in.

Sally Hornsey

3* Hotel. All inclusive is not all inclusive!! Read the small print. Wine and water not included. Fruit juice not included. Ice cream not included. Food not good for what's supposed to be a4* hotel. The a la carte Italian restaurant is inclusive one time (BUT you have to pay for drinks?!?) And food is not good... dish of the day? Beef stroganoff?!?!?! Errrrrr not Italian! Pools are cold.. even the heated one is freezing. Slides are on for minimal time a day. Cheap as chips hotel. Is what you make it. Staff are super friendly if you tip.

Alin Gadaev (‫מה גיליתי‬‎)

We stayed at the hotel for five days and four nights, and truly enjoyed our time there. The service was excellent — the staff was kind, helpful, and always available when we needed something. Even though most of them spoke primarily French, they made a big effort to understand us and assist us in every possible way. It really showed how much they cared. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, varied, and plentiful. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, and we always found something fresh and tasty to enjoy. Although we visited during a rainy period, it didn’t take away from the experience. The hotel offered plenty of indoor activities and entertainment, so we were never bored. Honestly, if we had such a great time in rainy weather, I can only imagine how amazing it must be in the summer! In short — a warm and welcoming vacation, with great service, wonderful food, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates genuine hospitality and a hotel that truly invests in its guests.

Aleksandra Pa

I spend 9 days with my family on all inclusive. The hotel was very nice and spacious. The food was good and the service was also very nice. The choice of food and drinks was impeccable. A big plus is the sunbeds on the beach and a small bar, a very nice way to spend time. The downside is that most of the activities were conducted in French and not always translated. The hotel is generally worth recommending .End of season lots off sale and much more quiet. Weather 23 degrees and not much sun in that part of Create.

Michal Lushi

We had an exceptional stay at this lovely hotel! The dining options were impressively diverse, featuring a wide variety of meats, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits, desserts, and delicious ice cream. The restaurant, with its cozy atmosphere and stunning sea view, was a highlight of our experience. Access to the beach is very convenient, The beach area was pleasant, with sun-beds available. The hotel maintained two beautiful pools, both featuring a lively atmosphere with music and breathtaking views. There’s also a designated shallow area for children, along with a gaming room to keep them entertained. The staff was friendly and engaging, providing excellent service - multilingual, speaking German, French, and English. They were incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and eager to assist in any way. Overall, we had an amazing time and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic all-inclusive experience!

mrvinov

I was with my partner on a week's holiday, I definitely do not recommend this hotel if someone suffers from asthma. The entire hotel smells incredibly of chlorine, which made it hard to get out of bed in the morning plus a sore throat. I will also add that people using wheelchairs or the physically disabled will have problems getting to the hotel or moving around on its premises. Apart from that, the hotel is really nice, nice views and we got a nice room (for an additional fee of course). Hotel service at a high level so there was nothing to find fault with. Animation only in French so if someone wants to go to this hotel with children, please keep that in mind. The drinks at the bar were very weak, the wine from the restaurant was much stronger, strange. Souvenir shops at every turn are a big plus, two supermarkets right next to the hotel are also a plus. The sea is about 200 meters from the hotel, so very close. Greetings to the entire hotel staff and management! 🩵

Dzejkob VXR

I stayed for 9 nights and had a generally good experience here. Reception staff were helpful along with polite and informative . The hotel in generally nice and clean and in good aesthetic condition. There are loads of sunbeds outside in the pool area.

Antonio

The hotel is quite old style and we changed 2 rooms before to have a decent one. Cleaning is always a challenge and they may miss days if you do not continue claim. Anyway the rooms are quite old and shower does not run as should be. The sea is quite low and you just have few spots to swim. Food is just decent and quality of food is in general bad. Just one time in a week we got fresh fish while the other served was always frozen. Anyway there some choice so you may find one meal a day. Wins and spirits are horrible as for all the other hotels but in this area you have no many options to go for not all inclusive

Jayne Barrowes

All around 5* Team/Hotel. Booked for my birthday and wasn’t disappointed. The hotel went above and beyond to celebrate for me with a lovely cake towel on my bed with petals to dinner with candles and balloons.! Every single day was better during our stay, the staff were so welcoming and the atmosphere was 10/10. ( We made some new Egyptian friends :) ) Really enjoyed the activities, relaxing by the pool and beach. Food was just ok and had plenty of options but was not anything to mark them down for. Thanks for having us!

Aya Khanfer

We were given room 222, and the bathroom was extremely dirty — the sink was broken. We had to pay $5 per night for an upgrade because there were no available rooms. The bathroom was cracked and very old, and the furniture was outdated. When I went down to swim, there were no available sunbeds at all. The pools were completely full, and to get a spot you had to wake up very early to grab towels and reserve your place by putting a personal item there. Now to the biggest disaster: there was no water to shower or even use the toilet! The water keeps cutting off and coming back randomly, and it’s completely normal for it to cut while you’re showering and covered in soap! There were many insects, even inside the bedroom. No activities were offered during our stay. We booked a parasailing activity and paid $20, waited for two hours, walked 15 minutes to the beach, only to be told the boat was broken. There were no fresh juices in the entire hotel, except during breakfast, and even then, only orange juice, which you had to pay extra for. Privacy is non-existent! Somehow, my phone number was given to one staff member, and my Instagram to another! The food was okay, but I had two very unpleasant experiences: • A mosquito inside my soda glass • A hair on the potato tong, and when I told the chef, he just rinsed it with water!!!!!! This hotel is boring, I do not recommend it, and it definitely does not deserve 5 stars.

Jo Taylor

Lovely hotel not too big, food was good but the restaurant had self service that was too spaced out. If you wanted salad with your shawarma they were at the opposite ends of the restaurant as was the bread! Rooms could be updated but clean and functional. Sea is very shallow so not suited for swimming.

Wasim Wahid

We went second time to the same resort. But we didn’t get good experience at this time. 1. Animation team(entertainment guys)- they look very dead as compared to last time. And few of them only approach only white young families. They didn’t even come to us at once. Always surrounded with white people. 2. Feel like too much racism as the staff and animation team only approach white European or Russians. 3. Room 102-103, Room service guy was good but every other day rooms were not that clean as we expected. 4. During meal time no one would approach us for the drinks apart from two staff member Ala Ahmad. However, other catering staff were happy to serve white people. For the Aurora admin team ( please upgrade your animation staff). Overall giving 2 stars because of disappointment from animation team.

Rafał (Rougheee)

We’ve just returned from our 8-day holiday. The staff were very polite and helpful. The hotel itself does deserve its three stars. The rooms are quite spacious, regularly cleaned, beds comfy (could have been joined permanently to avoid sliding apart). The portable air-conditioning unit requires leaving the balcony door open and is quite noisy. With all the noisy entertainment on the stage by the pool one just wants to keep the windows shut to enjoy some silence. We were provided with the All inclusive option: the food was quite tasty but of average quality ingredients. Luckily, there were many options to choose from so everyone should find something to please their palate. We have only tried breakfast and dinner meals as at the time of lunch menu or pool bar snacks we were away sightseeing or enjoying the beach. The location is okay, exactly as described on the website. The free beach bus could run more frequently though. It’d be great if the pool and jacuzzi areas were available until 9p.m. We didn’t get the chance to use them more than 3 times throughout our whole stay because of such short opening hours. The lifts need more attention and the room doors that are far from soundproof. On the whole, it was a very pleasant stay.

No other words but excellent! Nice clean hotel with very friendly and always helpful staff. We don't do all-inclusive very often, but it's a lot easier with 2 young children, but it was by far the best all-inclusive food we have had! Endless choice and always something different every day. Also, lovely fresh, thin based pizza is available all day from the snack bar along with salad and other snacks. The bottom pool is always lovely and warm, and a great little kids pool and kids club to the rear of the hotel. Had a great room that always had the sun on the balcony and nice views over the pool. Great entertainment on a night and a good mixture of music playing through the day. Little kids' arcade area was handy for nighttime. Only 1 negative was that the gym was very basic, which could do with a bigger room and some more weight lifting equipment. Will definitely visit again!

This is our second time at this hotel. We came back as we loved it so much. The animation team are all so lovely and easy to get along with - not forceful for you to get involved in activities either! We first came in 2023 and would say there was probably more for smaller children the first time around, but never the less, it has been really lovely again this time around. The food is very good for an all inclusive, there’s so much to choose from!! Eli & Beyoncé’s twin (😏) have been so so good with my daughter!

Dani and Johny & team were great with the kids, kids club in general was good, maybe have some more structure events like treasure hunt they loved that, and giant jenga. Pools and facilities lovely. Food good. Pool bar had good selection of snacks and drinks. Also plenty of loungers and chairs. Only thing is distance from the beach but we were aware we’d have to rely on shuttle bus.

We can't fault the hotel in general. If your idea of heaven is lying by the pool in the sun all day then this is a great place to stay but for us the negatives were the location and our room location. We enjoy walking to the lighthouse daily but the hotel was too far for a comfortable walk, there was a free bus and the local bus and taxis but we enjoy the exercise, also we like to stay on the patio/terrace and don't go near the pool but our room was in blockD and the patio was is shade all day we did ask to be moved and the hotel did move us to a sunnier room. The positives hugely outweighed the negatives. The rooms were very nice and comfy, the food was full of choice and tasty, every meal there was always chefs cooking fresh as well as the preprepared food. There was always good daily and evening entertainment and the staff were great. We would not come back but only because of the location if we didn't want our daily walk we would be back in a flash.

We have just returned from a beautiful 3 night stay at the hotel on the all inclusive package. I had initial reservations regarding the hotel after looking through reviews but was glad that they didn't reflect our experience. - The room was gorgeous and well set up, lovely balcony and view of the pool. - food was enjoyable but nothing special. The buffet in the morning has a great selection and lunch + dinner you order from the app at your table, with salad options by buffet. The a-la-carte restaurant was fully booked which was a real disappointment. Avoid the bar snacks in the day though, dry and inedible. - The drinks were awesome, great selection and delicious cocktails. - Staff were warm and welcoming, always happy to support. We really enjoyed the service from Chris at the pool bar. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable escape from life. It's not the "foodie experience" promised on the website, but I'd return :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although we went during a festival so we could not visit the old town of Corfu liked we wanted it was still a lovely get away. The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely balcony’s. The whole hotel was decorated and stunning. The food everyday throughout the breakfast, snacks and dinner were delicious. The all inclusive only option was amazing as we had as many cocktails as we wanted. We got to enjoy the pot smashing and also the fireworks on one night. The whole atmosphere at Cooks Club was fantastic. Location wise not that great but a bus stop is right outside the hotel so you can travel.

We recently visited cooks club in Corfu. The hotel is immaculate and outstanding. The staff are great and very helpful. The food was out of this world, would go as far as saying the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive. The pool area is fantastic, I can’t fault the hotel or its service. The entertainment is brilliant and there’s something for everyone. The hotel is near the port by car and also the old town. But it seems to be in the middle of nowhere so you definitely need a taxi everywhere you go. The rooms were great, good size. However my only complaint is that the hotel is very very very noisy. The walls are paper thin. We had people moving furniture at 2:30am, people shouting banging you could hear everything from your hotel room. We were on floor 1 so maybe the floors above are a bit quieter but we struggled to sleep. We did complain about the noise to reception and they immediately took action and done something about it so again I can’t fault the hotels service. Just a shame we had people wanting to move their beds round at 2:30am. The hotels little shop is a great little gem. And the hotel also have a courtesy room so that you can have a shower and get changed before your flight. Overall fantastic stay just a shame about the noisy neighbours.

Hotel looks GREAT, but reality is, it’s instagrammable but not great. Food is poor / average. Menus sound great, but reality is most things either in the snack bar or main restaurant were pretty poor. Sun loungers super uncomfortable. No AC in the hotel rooms. Walls super thin so can hear your neighbour speaking / watching TV. Service and staff nice. Pool was nice. Gym was ok, but again no AC. Electricity would fail and turn off cardio kit. Wasn’t ideal. Overall, the pictures were great and sold it To us but I wouldn’t go back to the hotel in Corfu. Overall 4/10

While the hotel rooms are nicely decorated, the walls are paper-thin, we could hear every noise from neighbouring rooms and the corridors. Our stay was repeatedly disrupted by hen parties running through the halls at 1–2 a.m. We called reception twice, but no meaningful action was taken. These large, noisy groups were not separated from other guests or managed in any way, despite this being advertised as a boho, adult-only resort. The food was, by far, the biggest letdown. It was consistently poor and showed clear signs of cost-cutting. Hot dishes were overcooked and repetitive. There was no fresh, local Greek food, just tinned olives, no traditional mezzes, and no proper salad bar (only small, pre-prepped bowls). There were no local cheeses or cold meats, and very few vegetarian options. The weird service style buffet restaurant focused on bland, uninspired international dishes that you order via an app but have to get up and get your drinks. Even simple staples like bread and pastries tasted stale or mass-produced. It lacked quality, variety, and any authenticity. Also we have to look at everything on our phones, when we are on holiday we don’t want to spend all our time looking at our phones. Guests staying fewer than seven nights are only allowed one à la carte meal, and we could not book via the app because we were under 7 nights, this wasn’t communicated upon arrival, we only found out by asking. Due to how poor the buffet was, we paid to eat out on multiple nights, despite booking all-inclusive. Drinks were also misrepresented. Love Holidays stated branded drinks were included, but in reality, you have to pay €5 per branded spirit. Shockingly, even bottled water isn’t included in the package, you must pay for it, otherwise you’re limited to small glasses from a dispenser, which is unacceptable in a hot climate also in a country where we should not be drinking tap water. To take glasses or water to you room at night is terrible. We voiced our concerns to the hotel team, but they were indifferent and took no visible action. There was no sense of responsibility or service. This hotel felt like a cheap, poorly managed operation with misleading marketing, dressed up as a premium adult retreat. Sadly, it fell well below expectations on every front. I would absolutely not recommend this hotel to anyone and will be pursuing a formal complaint with both the travel agent and the hotel management.
