Last Minute Holidays Leaving This Week

Aqz A

We had a great time at this hotel and was very impressed. Our stay from start to finish the staff were very friendly and looked after us well. Value for money you cannot go wrong, they have all the amenities including a 24 hour bar, gym, sauna and steam room available. We booked 3 separate rooms which they gave us all next to each other which was a nice gesture. Rooms were very clean and everything was as it should be, rooms decorated and finished to a nice standard. They have plenty of entertainment and activities, games for adults and kids to play as well as a kids club so parents can enjoy time to themselves if wanted. A special thanks to Anil (waiter on roller skates) who was a great waiter and lovely host for us, always smiling and happy to help. The only thing I could pick on was that they should have more than 2 irons and a stand in each room or available separately for a 200 room hotel, other than this everything was perfect. Thanks again to all the staff.

The staff here is always ready for help, however, maybe it is now the off-season, quite some staff are not well trained so they do not understand guests' need neither in English nor in German. The food here is very poor. The soup is thin, no freshly grilled meat. I was expecting a Deluxe experience, but the reality hit me hard... The sea view is unbeatable.

Avoid at all costs! Absolutely appalling service from the staff. We ended up leaving the hotel after the first night due to the hostile behaviour. Day 1, 3 members of staff came up to us and asked us to leave in under an hour with 3 children as the hotel management did not want us there due to complaints we raised about the rooms. We were locked inside with a technician as the doors stopped working and another room had no air conditioning, they could not move us or even downgrade the room so sent in a technician at 3am. When our provider questioned why they wanted us to leave they completely rejected what they said. Insulted us in front of other guests. Will be taking legal action against this hotel! If you fancy embarrassing yourself go ahead and book it! We have video evidence of the incident that occurred where they came up to us whilst we were having breakfast and telling us to leave. I’m happy to share.

I'm currently enjoying my holiday at Sirius Deluxe Hotel, From the moment I arrived, the service has been exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure my stay is perfect. My room is spacious, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean, with a stunning view of the sea. The bed is extremely comfortable, and the amenities provided are top-notch. I especially appreciate the luxurious spa and well-equipped fitness center. The dining experience here is outstanding. The variety and quality of food are impressive, with delicious options at every meal. The breakfast buffet is a particular highlight, offering everything from fresh fruit to made-to-order omelets. The location is ideal, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. Whether relaxing by the pool, exploring the area, or engaging in water sports, there’s always something to do. Overall, my stay at Sirius Deluxe Hotel has been perfect, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable holiday. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Lovely hotel, great value for money. Just wished the rooms were somewhat nicer. But the views we had of the hotel made it worth it 😍 would definitely come back. The staff was lovely and loads of veggies options

Carl Threlfall

Firstly the room we had was spacious and clean. It had a large balcony overlooking the pool. Stayed 7 days, housekeeping came on the fourth day offering clean towels but not clean sheets. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Entertainment every night. Personally I think it's more of a family orientated hotel. The location of the hotel is at the top of a very steep hill, not ideal, but good for views. Overall despite some shortfalls I enjoyed my stay.

Sean Glossop

Fantastic hotel, extremely good value for money and the rooms were well equipped as well as modern. The staff were all very friendly, we were self catering so I cannot comment on the food at the hotel but there was a little shop on site which sold pretty much everything you could need. The pools were clean, I loved the fact that there were multiple pools, the main one having the entertainment, and then Pool 2 which was quieter and more chilled (right by our room). In terms of location, this is the only thing where the hotel suffers, as it is on the outskirts of Los Christianos - however there is a free shuttle bus to and from the beach each hour during the daytime for those who don't wish to walk the 15-20 mins. There are also quite a few restaurants and shops close to the hotel without having to walk far, my favourite being the Italian restaurant literally opposite the entrance to the hotel, definitely worth a try, we ate there three times during our stay. Overall, this hotel is well worth the money, it's in a quieter part of Los Christianos but not too far from the centre, the room was very large, bathroom extremely modern and luxurious, cannot fault anything really.

Laura Ionascu

We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely go back! The location is very nice (close to Los Cristiano's port/beach - which we loved). We rented a car and easily went everywhere from the location. Our accommodation was a huge 2 bed apartment (a bit dated but clean) with a terrace looking to the ocean, beautiful view. The food was good with plenty of choices but often cold. The location has 3 pools which are very nice. There is a shop just in front of the reception open until late so very handy. Service very nice, helpful staff (all speak English) and good entertainment in the evening. Kids enjoyed it very much! Overall very nice place, we ll go back soon! Thank you so much for everything!

Well.... the hotel and the instalations good but the enterteiment team... I can't believe that they don't even speak english when most of the guests they are from outside, the classes? they are a joke, they said they know and the workers are not prepared for nothing they don't even know how to do a streching class... for another part they have a DJ for nothing because he can't play music as a dj is a stupid playlist from spotifie or youtube and for this they don't need a dj, they can use any person, I saw few new people in the team and the rest of the workers they don't even care about them, they don't teach them nothing so you can see how good is the company 'Funtastic' and also the workers they don't have a motivation bc they don't even pay them... they shoud to be shame to call this a enterteiment team and the workers they don't have the fault, the fault is the manager of the company I was trying to talk with her because they told me is a girl and she is not there never... really? which kind of company is doing this? to bring people without experience and don't prepare them? Vergüenza les debería de dar!!! La peor compañía de entretenimiento que he visto en mi vida... está para meterles una denuncia por las condiciones como los tienen trabajando... Por otro lado, el buffet es una basura, me puse mala con diarreas según lo probé, los platos y cubiertos sucios es que vamos da pena y sentimiento y no es que pagues poco precisamente... menos mal que son apartamentos y te puedes hacer tu comida porque te coges una pedazo de intoxicación ahí dentro de dos pares de narices...

Where do I begin? This apartment clearly took design inspiration from The Conjuring, it’s giving full haunted house realness. If peeling paint, banging by disgruntled neighbours, and furniture that looks like it holds grudges are your thing, you’re in for a treat. In my opinion, this is a solid 2-star, maybe 3 at most. As for cleanliness… what cleaner? I can only assume she’s a ghost—never seen, never heard, definitely never cleaned. Fresh towels? Non existent and if you ring reception they’ll ask for you to go down to collect them, maybe I should have levitated nude to collect it. The “VIP” area by the pool nearly sent me flying, £12 for the privilege of being tied up with rope like a medieval prisoner, it was like sunbathing in a glorified rope pen and there was a woman coming across to see if you’ve paid to stay within the rope as if it was worthy of being paid, mental. The breakfast buffet. I can’t even explain the quality, imagine being in a prison, but with less variety and more of a smell. Special shout-out to the guy at reception, what a character. His attitude was only outshone by his “Grease: The Musical” hair, slicked back like he’s auditioning for Danny Zuko: The Sequel, he tutted at me and my partner for asking if we could PAY to extend the room instead of being homeless by the pool on our last day. Overall attitude for no reason. Just really rude. I’d never come back here

Kevin Houten

We went to Lagotel in July/August of 2023 and we absolutely loved it! The whole experience was amazing. The food was good, the staff were great, the entertainment was brilliant for both adults and children. We was at the poolside every morning soaking up the sunshine and having a ball. The room was fine overlooking the pool. We enjoyed it that much we are going back this year (2025) on July the 28th for 10 days this time! We can't wait! See you in July!

Stephen McCann

Great Hotel and Pool is fantastic with great views. All inclusive food was ok but evening meals didnt cater for younger guests. Evening entertainment was also ok.

John Garwood

Stayed here during a tournament. Front desk staff was very friendly. The service staff was rude and not very helpful in the dining area. The dining served processed food and very little options. Their main dish every day was pasta with sauce. Not happy with our stay

paul rackley

Great hotel, we went as a family with 2 children on a b&b basis . Hotel was clean,rooms were good, buffet breakfast was amazing. Staff attentive to detail, friendly and always busy . Pool setup was very good, with a lifeguard on duty. Plenty of entertainment, for the children and also good evening acts . Handy shuttle bus to beach. We all really enjoyed our stay there. One minor thing ,a socket by the bed would be handy.

Hana Matoušková

The hotel looks nice on the first sight but you soon notice that it has seen better days. Most importantly, the air conditioning in the room did not work - we wanted to use it for heating as we came in October. We used the sauna and gym and it seems like it has been put there just as an afterthought, especially sauna seemed very improvised, being put right into the gym - e.g. where are you supposed to rest in between sessions? The minigolf is in the worst state of all of these sporting activities, having holes where holes definitely should not be. I do understand that if you come with children, you will enjoy the daily and evening activities on the podium in front of the room balconies. However, the loud music playing on the podium and lights from the trampolines did not make for an agreeable evenings for us. The food was plentiful but it was sometimes hard to find something healthy. Sometimes there was a chef on grill who prepared fresh fish or steaks, that was a great thought.

Dean Pill

Had a lovely break at the Magic Cristal Park Hotel. We booked all-inclusive, and the value was excellent. Our room was nice with a TV and fridge. They balcony was big with a table and chairs. The shower was lovely, and new towels were provided each day. The 4 restaurants were fantastic and the choice of food was wonderful. The pool area and balcony bar were superb. Up on the roof. The only downside was the lifts.. not good. Loved it.. definitely going back

Joana Oliveira

The all-inclusive meals were satisfactory, offering a good variety, although I found the selection of fresh salads, soups, and cheeses somewhat limited. The bar offered an exceptional wine selection and a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. The elevators were slow. The room was well-equipped with a kettle, refrigerator, and other necessities, and it featured a pleasant balcony. The hotel's location was excellent, being in the town centre and just five minutes from the beach. Overall, I would certainly consider returning.

Andy Kelly

Location is great food has been acceptable mostly Spanish elderly guests that stay here. Hotel could do with a good update. Very tired looking in areas. The bathroom smells like most of the guests have been sharing our room to take a poop, drain smell is awful!!!!! Kids entertainment room is really good modern and free gaming with staff to monitor the little ones whilst in the younger play area. This facility was really good. Most of the staff were great apart from one. Anita one of the bar staff who is miserable and likes to be rude to the kids when they are playing in the magic cafe. And when asking for a drink you would think you had just told her one of her family members have past away. Yes I don’t think bar work should be her allocated position. Anyway the hotel resembles the Cecil hotel from the Netflix documentary, check it out that will sum the place up better than I have.

Anna Pielach

The hotel is clean. Great location. Close to the beach, park, bus stops and the train station. Our room was ok. The weather in January was excellent. All the members of the staff were very kind and helpful. We would like to thank Katya for helping the Polish tourists, Anita for providing us with bus/train timetables (and great drinks!:), Ali, Ivan and all the other bartenders for the most amazing drinks. You made our little winter holidays special. Thank U:) Room 421.

Hannah Boddey

If I could rate it 0 stars I would. The first night I was locked in the bathroom for over an hour and the door ended up having to be crowbarred open. We went to reception to ask to be moved rooms to be told that fixing the door will be enough and left to deal with a broken handle. Broken lifts and multiple stairs which makes it take forever to get to any of the upper or lower floors if you have any form of disability. The windows don't have working locks on them so you can never shut them properly and some of the staffs attitude are appalling. It is our last night and there is a ridiculous amount of noise from other guests to which we phoned reception to ask them to sort it. A rude lady then told us to wait 5 minutes before we could speak and then immediately hung up on me. We called back as this noise has been happening for 5hours now with constant banging on the walls and the hotel has done nothing about it and told us they cant speak english and we had to go down to reception even though we are in bed as our departure is at 4am. They watched the footage and did nothing except send security up yet we didnt even hear them speak to the room. The food is diabolical and gave my friend food poisoning on the last day too. This is a very rowdy hotel and completely not worth the money if you are looking for a weekend away. I wouldn't stay here again if I was paid for it and will be reporting everything to sunshine holidays.

Dharmit Chauhan

We booked this holiday through Jet2 and stayed at Green Nature Resort & Spa, and I feel compelled to warn others—this was an incredibly poor experience, especially for a family traveling with a young baby. From the moment we arrived, things were wrong. The air conditioning in our room didn’t work, and with a 3-month-old baby, this was a serious issue. We spent an uncomfortable first night in the heat before it was finally repaired the next afternoon. There was no urgency or real care shown by staff. Housekeeping ignored "Do Not Disturb" signs and entered our room early in the morning without knocking. This happened multiple times and felt extremely intrusive. The food was repetitive, offering quantity but not quality. Every day, the same options were served, which quickly became tiresome. The biggest issue was accessibility. Only one lift was working in the main building for almost the entire week. This made navigating the hotel with a stroller frustrating and exhausting. No support or alternatives were provided. Reception staff were rude and unhelpful, always pushing us to guest services, who were only available during limited hours. We had to queue for long periods just to speak to someone, and most issues went unresolved. But the most frightening moment came on our last day, when we got stuck in the lift with our baby. We pressed the emergency button for over 10 minutes—no response. I tried to call the reception from my mobile and was transferred with no answer. We were stuck, overheated, and panicked. The lift eventually moved again on its own, but we received no follow-up, apology, or explanation from the hotel. This was a terrifying and unacceptable failure in guest safety The tiles around the pool were dangerously slippery, and we witnessed a guest suffer a bad fall. On top of that, we saw drunken behavior and two fights break out during our one-week stay—completely unsuitable for families. There are no bathtubs in the rooms, and when we asked for an alternative to bathe our baby, staff were indifferent and unhelpful. We had to buy a paddling pool ourselves to manage a basic need. This hotel is marketed as family-friendly, but it is anything but. It does not meet the standards expected of a Jet2 property. Unsafe, unfriendly, and unfit for purpose—this was a deeply stressful experience we will not forget. I strongly advise families to avoid this hotel. At best, it’s a 3-star property, and Jet2 should seriously reconsider their association with it.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) Green Nature Resort & Spa, Dalaman Stayed here over the half-term break. The hotel itself is okay—clean, family-friendly, and staffed by genuinely helpful people. The pools and facilities are decent, though the outdoor pools were far too cold to use in April (unlike other places like Antalya where pools are heated). Food was repetitive—mostly chicken dishes every day, though the sushi on the final day was a nice touch. Evening entertainment was held in a tiny room with limited seating—you’d have to skip dessert to get a spot. The biggest issue: unauthorized agents operating in the hotel lobby. One man named “Sasha” offered us a “free taxi” to a place called Mr. Cheap—which turned out to be a single, overpriced store. We also got tricked into booking an expensive boat trip through him that we later found was much cheaper if booked directly at the pier. Bottom line: Don’t trust random agents in the hotel lobby. Avoid “free transport” offers—they’re usually tourist traps. Use GBP/USD for better rates and book tours through verified operators. The hotel itself was fine, but these scams seriously hurt our overall experience. Be cautious if you’re planning a stay.

Honest Review: Green Nature Resort & Spa, Dalaman (Half-Term Stay) We stayed at Green Nature Resort and Spa in Dalaman over the last half-term break, and I thought it would be helpful to share our experience—both the highs and the lessons learned. 🌟 The Good: Friendly Staff: The hotel staff were genuinely warm and helpful throughout our stay. The local taxi drivers we met were also courteous and accommodating. Pool Variety: There are three outdoor pools, including one with a few water slides, and a small indoor pool. This is great for families, though... Clean Facilities: The hotel grounds and public areas were kept tidy and pleasant. 😕 The Not-So-Great: Pool Temperature: The outdoor pools were far too cold for kids to enjoy in April. We've stayed in Antalya before where the pools were heated, so this was disappointing. Repetitive Food: While food was generally decent, the buffet was very chicken-heavy with similar dishes day after day. Sushi on the last day was a pleasant surprise. Entertainment Space: Evening shows were held in a small room that could only seat about 50 people. You’d have to rush through dinner just to grab a spot. ⚠️ Major Warning: Tourist Traps The biggest let-down wasn’t the hotel itself—it was the unauthorized agents lurking in the hotel lobby who pose as tour operators. A man who went by “Sasha” (possibly not his real name) approached us offering a “free” taxi to a shopping hub called Mr. Cheap. Spoiler alert: it was not a shopping centre, but a single overpriced store. We later realized we’d paid way more than normal prices after visiting the real city shopping area. We also got roped into an overpriced family boat trip through the same agent. It was sold as a deal, but in reality, we could’ve gotten a much better package (with alcohol included) by booking directly at the pier. ✅ Tips to Avoid What We Faced: Use Uber or ask your hotel to call a taxi for you—avoid unsolicited offers. Avoid shops that come with “free transport” offers. These often lead to tourist traps. Use GBP or USD for better bargains—rates are more favourable than Euros or Lira in many places. Book tours directly through reputable companies (safaris, boat trips, etc.). what3words - ///basher.input.slim to the town centre shops and boats. Don’t trust random "agents"—they’re usually unregulated and overcharge heavily. 🏁 Final Verdict: 5/10 The hotel was okay overall—nothing was terrible, but there was nothing outstanding either. However, the external scams seriously impacted our experience, so I'd urge families to be cautious. Hope this helps others make more informed decisions and enjoy a smoother holiday!

Great hotel! Complained to reception the safe and air con wasn’t working they came straight up to the room to help very quickly too! Our room was very spacious and we had a lovely view. The restaurant had lots of choice every night and very fresh! Lots of entertainment at the hotel and music around the pool, great location also about 7 minute walk to the strip. Will definitely visit again

Ashton Dunn

This was our first family holiday. What an experience. Our first few days here was continuous rain but the hotel staff and entertainment staff made sure that didn't stop the fun. On our 4th day there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was out. There was lots of entertainment, dancing, music and so much more. I 100% recommend anyone to try this hotel. If you are a foodie and like trying new things this is the place for you. Kids club has been a God send my little girl loves it and the staff are amazing. What an amazing place. X

Heilinaz

Awesome hotel! If you come on time, there are loads of food options for everybody. I personally couldn’t try everything i wanted just because there were so many choices! The staff were amazing! The waiters were really fast and super nice to everyone, the cleaning staff was also super friendly and the room felt like a whole new place after the cleaning! There are loads of entertainment for kids. I also loved the themed restaurants! The Mexican one was really nice. The beaches were nice and had beautiful clear water as well as bars near them to have a drink. Overall experience 10/10, would definitely come back!

j reilly30

Overall, very good, but very very big. Lots of walking involved 😜 nice rooms (nothing fancy) but clean and tidy. Food was…alright actually 👍 drinks on the other hand no good, the cup size is that of a child’s drink, around 250ml beers served each time, beer and cocktails I thought certainly lacked quality. The pools are decent, so many of them and a few are heated. Always somewhere to sit aswell, plenty of sun loungers. No issues there. It has a beach but it’s not that sandy, it’s very hard, but we don’t really use the beaches in Egypt. Staff on a whole are very good, very friendly, a couple a bit iffy and seem to prioritise the blonde English women 🙄 the guys on reception I thought where damn rude. Almost like I was causing them an inconvenience checking in and out. However, let them be! We had a good time and the price we payed. £900 for a week for me and my oldest son I cannot complain. Would I go again? Yes, if I got a good deal. Is it worth much more? My opinion, no. We have visited a few hotels in Hurghada so have a good comparison.

Adam Sierawski

We had a truly unforgettable stay at Long Beach Resort in Hurghada with my wife. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the incredible hospitality. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort and always greeted us with a warm smile. Their kindness and dedication made us feel truly welcome every single day. There was one exception – a Front Office employee who seemed more serious than a U.S. border officer, which felt a bit out of place in such a friendly atmosphere. However, everyone else made up for it with their positive energy and professionalism. Our room was spotless and comfortable, the food was tasty with a great variety, and the entire resort area was beautifully maintained. One of the absolute highlights was the breathtaking coral reef just off the shore, full of vibrant, colorful fish – a true paradise for snorkelers. The best recommendation we can give is this: we’re already planning to come back next year!

Sandra Miszczuk

“Our stay at the hotel in Egypt is an unforgettable experience! The hotel had a fantastic location, right by the beach with a beautiful view of the Red Sea. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the service was very friendly, always ready to help with anything we needed. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! Every day, a variety of dishes were served to satisfy every taste – from traditional Egyptian dishes to international specialties. Fresh fruits, aromatic spices, and delicious desserts made every meal a true feast. It’s also worth mentioning the all-inclusive option, which allowed us to enjoy a wide range of restaurants and bars throughout the day. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the animation team. Every day, they organized various activities – from morning exercises on the beach to pool games and evening shows that attracted large crowds. The animators were amazing – full of energy, always smiling, and ready to have fun. Thanks to them, every day at the hotel was filled with joy and laughter. Egypt turned out to be a perfect place for relaxation, but also for active leisure. The hotel, the food, the people, and the animators created an unforgettable atmosphere that we will remember for a long time.”

toni stoyanova

I can tell only good things about Long Beach Resort. People are awesome and hardworking. Staff everywhere is always looking for the comfort of guests. Beach is perfect, the rooms are big and clean, I really like the bathroom. Cleaning is every day. Food and drinks are good. Don't miss friendly camels on the beach :) Recommend the complex and would come back.

Sara Sara

Amazing holidays This resort exceeded my expectations! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Our room had a stunning view of the ocean, making mornings magical. The pool area was well-maintained, and the activities there were enjoyable for both adults and children. The beach was just a short walk away, offering clean sand and crystal-clear water. The dining options were diverse, with something for everyone, including vegetarian and kids' meals. I appreciated the variety of evening entertainment as well; every night felt special. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to return for another fantastic family getaway! Highly recommend! Thanks for animation team . Magdy , Veronica , Buddha , Max, Vegas.

Vikas Malik

We (family with children) recently stayed at this all inclusive hotel for a week. Sadly, we will not be returning to this hotel despite its good location. The quality & variety of food was very limited. The desserts from evenings were served next day in breakfast. Hygiene is poor. We all had a upset tummy whilst there. There were queues for food counters. You can bypass queues if you tip people. Often the managers/ staff members were served food at food counters out of turn whilst guests including little children kept standing in the queue. The drinks, both alcoholic & non-alcoholic, were of poor quality and tasted like sugar syrup. The fizzy drinks were too sweet and with hardly any fizz and appeared to be some cheap local brand. Even fresh orange juice or a virgin mojito came at an additional cost. The only good place for a nice coffee was fresh bean cafe which opens only for a very short time and closes at 12 noon. The daytime activities were few and very basic. The evening entertainment was average. The wifi is practically non-existent even in the lobby. When reported, reception staff informed that wifi had been a problem for past 5-6 years. You have to tip for pretty much everything. I don't mind giving a tip, but nothing happens without it. If you were to stay here (even after reading this review) then carry some cash in your pocket. The rooms are dated, shower curtain kept falling off, mattresses and pillows were of poor quality. This hotel should be rated 2.5 stars, at a push 3star and certainly not more.

Rosey Yates

Hotel was lovely, very kind staff always interactive. Food was spectacular and delicious. One member of the animation team called Buddah was so friendly and very enthusiastic. Always making people laugh and encouraging me to do aqua aerobics which was so fun!

Tania Tacke

Great Hotel, with a great location. The beach is privat and beautiful. The hotel is big and offers a wide variety of activities. The food is amazing, they have each night a different theme. The food is great quality, and fresh and super delicious. The store at the hotel are a blessing, you can visit them to buy all kinds of different souvenirs or snacks or medication. The staff is super kind, helpfull and always smiling and cheering the guests up. The room is great, all clean, spacious and well kept. Great place to stay and enjoy!

Muhammed Ghanema

I had a great time at LABRANDA Royal Makadi. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The service was overall good, though there’s some room for improvement. The location is excellent—right on the beach and close to everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Definitely a place worth visiting for a chill vacation by the sea.

Jana Dorotikova

We just got back last week. The resort Is great, especially for families with children. Everything was always clean, enough sunbeds And umbrellas on the beach. The sea Is beautiful, ideal for snorkeling. Food was amazing, various choices every day. And mainly, the staff were all amazing, Smiling all the time so we Felt very welcomed. Even though they were working very hard they all were just so friendly! Thank you for a great Holiday And we absolutely recommend this hotel! 🌴🤿♥️

Danijela Stojanovic

Very nice hotel, old but well kept. The staff is wonderful and always smiling, and the rooms on the ground floor with a garden are a paradise for children. the highest praise for the pirates animation team, our twins enjoyed their time. Sea is wonderful, but quite cold in the second half of June. all in all a wonderful experience. Greetings from Serbia.

Michal Cerhák

We really enjoyed our holidays at the Sunshine Crete Beach Hotel. We have stayed in a semi-separate apartment out of the main building. It was clean and quiet. We asked for a sea-view room but we could barely see the sea as it was mostly hidden by other buildings which was not so big issue at the end as we did not spend much time in the room anyway. The catering was also great in the main restaurant and at the beach bar. The overall atmosphere was perfect, mostly thanks to the animation team. They took care of the children as well as of adults during the day and evening. There was always something to do and it was always fun. Amongst others stretching and aqua aerobics in the morning, water polo and some competition in the afternoon, and a mini-disco for kids with another competition or karaoke and a disco in the evening. Go, animators, go!

Emily W

An amazing two weeks at this wonderful hotel. Everything was excellent - the room, food, staff. They welcomed us at 4am and were so kind and helpful, it was a great start after a long journey with young children. The hotel is just lovely, with so many facilities. Everything for kids was perfect and the food was delicious with plenty of choice. Even if you don’t have children, there’s plenty to enjoy. Could not recommend enough.

Judit Nemeth

This is not a 5 star hotel, really dated, rooms require urgent refurbishment. Staff was okay but definetly not 5 star hotel experience. Food was okay but again they are far far away from 5 star, drinks are limited and cheap alcohols. We mostly enjoyed the clean sea and it was beatiful but we would no come back to stay at this hotel again. They are not up to standard to be 5 star hotel maximum 3 star.

Tommy Regan

We arrived yesterday, for the price we paid each (£200) it’s pretty good value for money, not sure what the reviews are on about. It’s sheltered, the water pressure in the shower is great, everything works fine, beds are comfy enough. They’re quite small bungalows for two people but that’s okay for us. If you’re fussy dont expect it to be a 4 star hotel, the location is on a steady hill not far from shop about a 5 min walk. Plenty of local restaurants. You can see the sea view walking down towards the beach, the people have been so friendly so far. Only things to point out: the receptionist was awful at directing us to our room and you may want to bring a tea towel as they dont provide one but the bathroom comes with 2 towels and 3 loo rolls. Could be more plug sockets around the kitchen. Rooms are a little echoey and walls are thin but as to be expected for Spanish accommodation. There is a pull out bed on the lounge which is handy if you needed it! Plenty of Irish bars, local food and plenty to do. If you want somewhere to stay that doesn’t set the world alight, has a pool down the road and has beautiful local scenery, I’d highly suggest booking it.

Magdalena Stanik

Our stay at Bungalows Castillo Beach Park was very disappointing. The bungalow was old and had an unpleasant smell. Despite being self catering, we were given just one cup for three people, very little cutlery, and no knife for cutting – it was impossible to cook there. A hairdryer was also missing. On arrival, there were only two towels instead of three, and one duvet was missing for our child. On a positive note, the reception staff were helpful, and the location was good. However, even for a budget option, we’ve had far better experiences camping. Definitely not recommended.

Mollie Maynard

Stayed here last Saturday for one night. It's about a 20 minute uphill walk from the bus station. The man on reception was really friendly and reassured me the apartment wasn't far away, which it wasn't, but felt like a Maze trying to find it with the map provided. The apartment was big in size and functional. For the price paid you cannot expect the ritz, but I was more than happy with it for the cost. The bedroom light and shower didn't work, so I had to have a bath but as I was only staying one night I just reported this on check out. I would come back if in the area as for the price its an absolute bargain. Be open minded and you will enjoy it too!

The resort is very tired. This is the beginning of the season, so things should be at their best . Paintwork timber rotting. Oven not working condition as the rack was not fixed to the wall. Very few utensils for even the basic cooking. Stay well clear unless you eat out all the time. The bathroom were just about usable as they were so tight. DO NOT GO!

The bungalow we stayed in was ok for the price we paid, we did have to ask for a kettle and toaster as there wasn't either. Not hangers so take your own. The worst thing is lack of cleaners I think there was only one poor woman cleaning the whole complex so we didn't have our room cleaned for the entire fortnight even after requesting one. I like to keep a tidy house so not too much of a problem but linen changes...towel changes I do expect. The pool area was nice. The location up a hill so a bit of a trek down to the front. There are some bars and restaurants within a short walk down the hill. I wouldn't stay here again.

Unfortunatly not my best experince here. Food is good, everyone is friendly and also the resort is (though very old) in a very good and maintained condition. As I was about to enjoy a Muffin on the pool, I got informed that food is not allowed on pool. I respected that. Just to see the other day guests get served seafood on the pool. After demanding an explanation from Alfred, the Manager in charge I got informed after 10 minutes of consulting with 4 collegues of him: they paid for it. I also paid for the Muffin, but u need to pay "extra". I demanded a pricelist of "eating food on the pool" still waiting for that. Very disapointing.....

Janet Rankine

Stayed here last year with family and friends. The hotel was beautiful but the food was abysmal. It was dire. The drinks on offer within the all inclusive package were the cheap and nasty local drinks. We did not expect to pay more money to have access to the branded drinks. The entertainment was poor. Some of the staff were unfriendly and unprofessional whilst some were wonderful and helpful. On the plus side, the hot stone massage within the spa was amazing. We paid for 5 star luxury at this hotel but we certainly did not receive it. I would certainly not recommend this hotel. I am used to 5 star luxury and trust me this hotel does not meet this criteria. The worst holiday I have ever been on. So looking forward to 5 star luxury in the Caribbean in two months time.

Shane Logan

From start to finish, the service throughout the entire hotel was truly five-star. Every team member I encountered, whether at the restaurants, bars, or by the pool, was attentive and welcoming. The fact that the poolside staff always remembered my drink order was such a thoughtful touch. I also really appreciated that there was no pushy sales approach when it came to excursions or spa treatments—it made the experience feel much more relaxed and guest-focused. The spa was a perfect retreat after all my excursions around Egypt. I had a lovely massage. Food-wise, I was really impressed with the variety at The Market restaurant and Beach Bar. The themed nights, omelet and pasta stations, and the BBQ were fantastic. Red Sea Wharf, for me, stood out more than Fellini. The entertainment on the stage each night was great fun ! Lastly, I just want to acknowledge the incredible effort of the entire team, especially during Ramadan, working in the heat and offering 5 star service at all times. A special mention also goes to a young gentleman on reception with glasses—he really stood out with his exceptional service. Overall, I can’t thank you enough for such an amazing holiday.

Pauline BIZEUL

Absolutely amazing! Everything in this place is done perfectly. Buffet is incredible, the staff is helpful, always smiling and being nice. The hotel is great, not very busy (you don’t have to fight to get sun chairs) with great pools. They also have a pier where you can jump into the see to do snorkeling. A life guard is always checking on you and the sea is extra warm! Special shout out to Mina at the bar upstairs, Mohamed in the Recreation team at the bottom pool and Ahmed the pool waiter. We went last November and will definitely be back!!!

Fanni Zagyvai

The hotel was fantastic. We stayed in room 7201 (the housekeeping staff always kept everything very tidy and left us funny towel animals, which was a nice touch). The room was a bit far from everything, but we didn’t mind. It was an easy walk to the beach, and we could also reach the main building effortlessly when we went to eat. The food was fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and diverse. The restaurant staff was very kind, and a special thanks goes to all the bartenders and staff members for their excellent service. Both the drinks and the overall service were outstanding. Overall, everything was excellent!

Tara Allcock

Well what can I say. What a great holiday we had here. Our rooms were upgraded because I believed we had booked sea view rooms but apparently they were side sea view to which I was not happy however Olga the customer relations manager upgraded us to sea front rooms and she was very helpful to me before and during the holiday. Our rooms were clean and spacious and our cleaner Ahmed was a lovely man and looked after us well. The food was Amazing lots of different selections to choose from . My daughter who is gluten free was looked after well by the restaurant manager Waleed and head chef who even brought partner some special vegetables when he heard him asking for vegan meals. Our waiter Mostafa couldn’t do enough for us! Only downside is you do not get your full 7 days all inclusive as we arrive about 7-8 at night on the Saturday and on the following Saturday check out was at 12 and they cut your ands off so we couldn’t access the food and drinks. They did allow us to keep one room for free until 3pm and allowed us to eat lunch at the restaurant. First time in Egypt and the hotel staff made it enjoyable for us They views were Amazing too! A special shout out to the names mentioned above Olga Ahmed Waleed Head Chef and Mostafa they are a credit to your hotel . Bar staff on beach and restaurant looked after us and beach staff were great, pool was closed for most of our week which we was not told about. Animation staff okay however one was very pushy can’t remember her name maybe seo ? Loved this hotel I would 💯 go back again ♥️

I recently stayed at Barceló Tiran Sharm, and while some aspects were great, others were disappointing. Check-in & First Impressions Upon arrival, the reception staff were professional and welcoming. However, I was surprised when they immediately offered us a paid room upgrade—before we had even seen our assigned room. This made me wonder if there was something wrong with the standard rooms. We declined, as the website showcased beautiful rooms, so why pay extra for something you already expect to be nice? Once we finally got our keys and entered the room, it was quite outdated—nothing like the website photos. The bedding was worn out, with visible fabric pilling from overuse. The room also didn’t seem to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. Since we were tired from a late arrival, we just went to sleep. The next day, after leaving a tip for housekeeping, the room was properly cleaned, and we were given new, comfortable bedding. Food & Drinks The food was repetitive, with not much variety. Lots of plain salads, but enough to keep you fed. Drinks at the beach bar were great, and the bar staff were fantastic—friendly and welcoming. Biggest Disappointment The pool was under refurbishment, and at no point before arrival were we informed that it would be completely unavailable. This was frustrating, as a pool is a major part of a beach resort experience. What Made the Trip Worth It? The animation team! They were the true highlight of the stay, keeping guests entertained throughout the day and evening. Special thanks to Zarina, Ksysha, Regina, Saio, Hamza, and Rob—they truly know how to keep guests engaged and motivated. Would I Return? Yes, despite the issues with the room and food. The entertainment team and beach bar staff made up for the shortcomings. However, management should be more transparent about room quality and any ongoing renovations.

Alex

Had an amazing stay at Barcelo Tiran Sharm! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, very clean and well-maintained. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Drinks were great, and the bar service was fast and professional. Rooms were spotless every day. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Peter Mulder

Very nice Resort, wonderfull staff, friendly and kind. The rooms are big and comfortabele. Good solid beds and pillows. Food is good and diverse. The resort itself is not new, but looks still good The beach is wonderfull with coral reefs and beatifull fishes. Very nice! Also Zarina told me to say that she is a good performer and she really wants to have a Porsche. Will i come back, i think so, the location is wonderfull at the end of Sharm-el-sheikh.

Natasha Smith

Firstly where do I start 😊 From the minute I booked this hotel the service and the emails back and fourth with Olga were brilliant. I would like to thankyou for the room upgrade on arrival as well as the birthday cake, room decoration and the stunning views at the hotel. The photographer was amazing helping me with our wedding proposal and capturing it on camera for us. The beach is stunning, plenty of sunbeds for everybody and lovely service from the towel hut and life guards. The Animation team are excellent. Very welcoming and polite always going out there way to get everybody involved in activities and suprising us on the evening of our engagement congratulating us. The food is beautiful, a wide variety and always something for everybody. During the day for the more fussy eaters the beach restaurant (snack bar) 12pm till 5pm has chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizzas etc available. I couldn't fault the hotel. It was a shame the main pool was closed for renovation although this is due to be complete by the beginning of March I was told. Hoping to return in the future 🥂🍹🐫🏝

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.

Michael

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!

Charley Winter

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!

Sarah Goddard

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.

Judi Ryan

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.

Moonbeam Moonbeam

Fab hotel, nice spacious clean rooms and there is more than one pool. I stayed in a 1st floor room with a side view of the pool. The staff and animation team were great. I spent a lot of time out on boat trips/at the beach which is around a 10 min walk away. You can also hire e scooters and bikes. There is a decent shop on the resort too which is reasonably priced. In terms of the food...I tended to only occasionally eat there. It was lack lustre /not particularly hot. There are some really nice restaurants down by the harbour if you are open to going.

Kasia Sikora

I spent 10 days in this hotel. Every day was different. A large selection of food and very tasty. All day attractions, yoga, ping pong, water aerobics. Nice smiling staff, especially Billy and Leo. Clean rooms. Nearby is a nudist beach if you like. Beautiful peacocks walking around the area around the hotel, something special. I recommend this hotel.

Natasha Urquhart

Really poor experience. Food was consistently of poor quality and freezing cold. All of us became unwell after eating it. We were without hot water for our entire stay, being told it will be fixed daily just for this to never occur. Room cleaned only once in our entire stay and to an extremely poor standard. Pool never thoroughly cleaned after a storm. When individuals complained about this they told us it was clean despite only the top being skimmed. This resulted in injuries due to sticks and debris floating in the pool. Staff were extremely rude and unkind. With one man even shouting at a group of young girls for coming to dinner in appropriate clothes (as confirmed by management) for dressing “disrespectfully”. Once he was confronted by the manager for acting inappropriately to us, he began a shouting match with her. We were told the individual responsible for screaming at us would apologise, he never did and instead made it his mission to intimidate us and make the rest of our stay unpleasant. I am unsure how this man remains employed here due to his behaviour and clear lack of respect for both guests and the management team here. I really do not recommend. *UPDATE* As expected, the hotel has responded to this similarly to other poor reviews simply stating it is false and i am attempting to paint a ‘dark picture’. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Firstly, why would anyone lie about a poor stay? Secondly, we had a manager review this case and tell us we are entitled to compensation due to the appalling conditions. Further, WE WERE SCREAMED AT, and have multiple witnesses, including a manager (who again told us that we were dressed entirely appropriately). The reason we were screamed at is simply because we were a group of young women this man wanted to feel powerful shouting at. This misogyny and lack of safety for young women is something MANY women complained about during their stay and just goes to show this hotel and their views. They are extremely dishonest and their response to this genuine review is quite frankly disgusting and reflective of our horrific experience here. DO NOT VISIT.

Stuart Fergusson

Me and my partner had a lovely week here. Staff were brilliant, so nice in particular the guy tending bar was so hard working and friendly he's a credit to the resort. All the people were very welcoming and we'd love to come back again.

Shaine Savidge

We have just got back having spent a week here staff are lovely .we was on a ground floor apartment cockroaches everywhere including in our room.couple of power cuts which is understandable due to bad weather. cleaners came in and left our patio door open which is not good at all after being told there is no cctv. Fights broke out a couple of nights aswell with no security or cameras made us feel uneasy staying for the entertainment which was only 9.30-11. The layout of the hotel was nice easy to navigate around the place and the cats and peacocks was a nice touch.food was not the best as most of it was cold especially breakfast.

Katia Klymenko

Reading previous reviews, we arrived at the resort a little apprehensive and not sure what to expect. How wrong were the reviews! The resort was clean, food delicious and staff were SO friendly. Our 4 & 7 year old loved the kids club and the weather was perfect. We were there late April/Early May. Great systems in place to keep everything tidy, like the cup token system and towel system. We preferred the buffet to the restaurant options. Fab selection of Greek and other cuisines. Loved the fresh salads and cold cuts. There was something for everyone. Would definitely recommend and return!

G Bizzle

Currently here on holiday, what can I say, just WOW this place is amazing. The location is stunning with the beach on your doorstep, the food is great, the rooms are lovely and the staff are fantastic. You honestly don't have to leave the complex they have everything, perfect for all inclusive.If your unsure about booking then don't be, it's by far the best holiday iv been on and I will be coming back.

Laura Torok

We have just got back from our holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Beach resort. Everything was perfect. All of the staff are very friendly, the food in the restaurants were delicious, the 3 swimming pools were fab, lots of bars and places to sit and the beautiful beach on site 😍 We have 2 children (5 and 12) who loved every moment. Would highly recommend Sandy Beach resort to anyone ❤️

Diar

I stayed at this resort last year, and I’m still thinking about the amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional, making sure every detail was taken care of. The room was spotless and beautifully designed. We had both an Italian and a Greek dinner reserved for free, simply by booking in advance – and we truly enjoyed every bite! The resort grounds were immaculate, with lush greenery, a serene pool area, and direct access to a beautiful beach. It was the perfect escape for relaxation and recharging. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Can’t wait to return!

Andrea Howell

Wow Just got back last night from this amazing place. 100% honest review First I'll get any negatives out of the way. Food* unfortunately the main restaurant was not to our taste but I can't fault them for the cleanliness and service also what a beautiful room 🥰 and the dessert selection was actually second to none. Drinks* it was hit and miss a bit with some drinks being more syrup than others and the only alcoholic drink I enjoyed was the ionian sea( ouzo) but found this to be very strong 😅 although second to last day my partner suggested I have a pressecco and I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner lol. Now to the many positives! Staff** so many good things to say about the staff at this resort. Literally every member of staff we came into contact with had a smile, pleasant attitude and just all round brilliant people who couldn't do enough for you they really made the holiday. Our cleaner Barrika( I am not sure of the spelling 😬) was not only amazing at keeping our room clean but genuinely such a lovely person. The bar staff always put a smile on our faces with a joke or just general conversation. My autistic son often gets misjudged when we are out and about but not here the staff were amazing with him and it was so heartwarming to watch him genuinely make connections with the staff who treated him with such care he felt included and loved 😍 Holiday makers* this place clearly attracts the best kind of people. All the other guests were friendly and just after a nice holiday same as us. There was never any trouble and such a great atmosphere around the pools , during entertainment and at meal times. My daughter sang on the karaoke and everyone was clapping chanting her name and cheering for her and it really made her feel special. What a great group of people. Pools* amazing!! Clean, safe, plenty of choice from deep to shallow, slides and adult only. The entertainment was just enough. Sometimes I find the daytime entertainment can be either trying too much or lacks enthusiasm but you could tell the staff really enjoy their jobs they played all sorts of games did water aerobics and even little shows to make us all laugh it really was very enjoyable especially the dirty dancing routine 🤣 iykyk. Italian restaurant* I would suggest going down to book this at your first opportunity as it fills up fast and for very good reason.the food not only delicious but also plentiful 🤤 I think we over ordered as we didn't expect the volume of food we would be receiving for example the appetisers we chose was pizza expecting a large pizza for the table.... nope it was roughly a 10" pizza per person 😅 unfortunately we booked late and actually could only squeeze in an hour before we were picked up to go home so couldn't physically take our time to truelly enjoy the meal but omg it was so beautiful every course(bread and oil for the table, starter of salad which were large I'd say, followed by the full pizza each then main courses of pastas, chicken, salmon etc followed by dessert) and the staff were delightful 😊 if you order bottled beers you will need to pay for these but totally acceptable. Greek restaurant** we mistook this restaurant for the one by the beach bar so did end up arriving a bit late to our slot as it was actually out of the way and if it wasn't for the very kind man who took us down by buggy we may have been even later 😬 however the food was worth it. Not as large as the Italian but just as tasty 😋 and again the staff were lovely and friendly although I do think they were a bit peeved we arrived late which is understandable as it puts them behind time 😔. Location** so at first when we googled things we panicked thinking we were an hour away from any other restaurant and shops( corfu town) but a quick wander out down the beach to the left we soon found a few restaurants and shops. Mondos was a lovely find the food was amazing. Boat trips* so much fun and affordable I would highly recommend hiring a speedboat with a skipper!! I have so much more I could say but I'll leave it here lol

Lyndsey Cook

Gorgeous hotel, staff can't do enough for you. Food is amazing with lots of choice. Only downside is nighttime entertainment and the temperature of the pool but we went in April, the cold pool may be welcomed more in the hotter weather

James

We’re still here while posting this its an amazing resort! The pool is huge so there’s no rushing to get beds of a morning so there’s always a nice relaxed feel every morning, there are enough beds to fit the number of guests twice over! I don’t understand any if the negative review points at all, ‘the beds are hard’?? They’re not hard just not memory foam 🤷‍♂️ ‘the food is the same’?? They have different meats and fish every night - the salad bar is the same but what more can you do with salads!? Entertainment is good and not in your face if you don’t fancy it. All staff are great and look after you. The only negative we’ve experienced are a couple of rude guests (Germans) but not the hotels fault that they’re all cranks!

Kathrin Graf

We were here at April 2025. The Hotel was very nice, everybody so friendly. The rooms are clean and the best was the Food. At everytime the Kirchen did Their best and and it was delicious. We will come back!

John Baxby

Hotel was nice and clean but the beds felt like they where made of concrete the food was the same every night. Some weird meat in a stew chips and a variety of fish not much choice expected a little better for the money paid. Tended to cater for none English.

Calas Typhon

Fantastic place, great little town nearby , hotel staff are good, lots of room around the massive pool , food is decent for all inclusive, room is massive and well kept

Simon Fagence

Old hotel but clean and maintained. Beds comfy, hotel staff helpful and rooms seeviced regularly. The food was excellent. Very high standard, good variety that was themed nightly and the waiting staff very good and efficent. I would defo stay at this hotel again.

Paul Hillsden

We were a little disappointed with our room condition, but as the hotel was fully booked, we couldn't be moved. We understand that this hotel will be undergoing a refurbishment in the not too distant future, which may have something to do with the condition of it. However, the rest of the hotel was fine. The bar area was nice and comfortable, the pool was nice, clean, and warm. The poolside bar was excellently staffed by enthusiastic and friendly staff. The food was of very good quality and variety, and the service at lunch and dinner was exceptional. The people working there really made this place. Always smiling, always friendly, and always ready to accommodate any, reasonable, request. They made us feel very welcome.

Beth Veitch

This hotel is shouldn't be 4 stars it's definitely a 3 star! The pictures they show on their website do not match the rooms in real life. Our towels weren't replaced in the room for 2 days and they don't regularly replace new mugs or fresh tea bags, coffee and milk in the rooms. The Pillows and sheets are stained with make up etc. And they're not replaced the whole of your stay! The pool is the best part of the hotel however they have lights hanging off inside the pool and the children's pool is full of debris and needs to be cleaned regularly. The pool bar staff are brilliant and really friendly. The bar in the evening is very slow and needs more staff for the amount of guests in the hotel. The eveing entertainment is rubbish they might aswell just not bother! The decor is very dated with old manky carpets running through the corridors. I will say the food is lovely and changes everyday so your not eating the same things all the time. This hotel definitely needs to be down graded to a 3 star and stop leading people to believe it's a 4 star online!!!

Deeanne Stripe

Positives: The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely and clean (but cold). Outside is better than the inside and the grounds were well kept. Negatives: We went for 5 days. The room wasn't cleaned, the bedding wasn't changed nor did we get clean towels until I complained - twice. There were also cockroaches in the room. The food was disgusting and lukewarm and flies kept landing on it all as it wasn't covered. For a 4* hotel I expected the food to be at least adequate but it truly wasn't. The entertainment wasn't the best but we were out of season. It is located on the beach but there is no access directly and its very rocky. The indoor pool is even colder than the outside which seemed odd. The all inclusive drinks don't include Latte, milkshake, hot chocolate etc and u have to pay separately for those. To keep it's 4* rating it needs completely refurbishing inside and new chefs/food choices.

Arron Davenport

Me and my wife stayed at this hotel for a week whilst visiting paphos. Tldr; Overall, I would give this hotel 3/5 stars, good hotel ONLY if you get it for a good price like we did. I wouldn't recommend it at all for young couples in their 20s and early 30s or anyone seeking anything other than sun, beach and being poolside. Rooms 2/5: the rooms are dated and not particularly well equipped. The mattresses are firm and the pillows are really poor. The air con in the room works fine, the TV is tiny, has about 8 channels that are all in greek. We got the sea view room and the view was good however depending on which sea view room you got your view could be amazing or awful. Our towels were changed daily and bed made with some light cleaning. Staff/service 3/5: once again it was just decent. The staff don't really talk to you or say much, they're not particularly friendly but not rude either. A very average service throughout. Food 4/5: the food was surprisingly good considering it was included, we got half board breakfast and dinner and both are buffet style. We were both surprised at the quality and the amount of choice. Notably the meat choices for the dinner service. I read a few reviews before coming to the hotel, that the food was poor however it is clear that those people were unrealistic considering this is a hotel on the cheaper side. Drink 2/5: I usually wouldn't write a section just for drink but this is important. They have the WORST selection of 3 beers and 0 cider options which was surprising to me. They do however get +1 star for the cocktails that although do not look great and are not made with any real care, are loaded with what I can only call "super measures" of spirits. Hotel environment. 3/5: once again it was very standard and nothing special. The pool is big with ample seating, there is a standard sized indoor pool and sauna and a TV room with a small TV. There is daily evening entertainment which is probably the worst thing about the hotel. It was either music or bingo or both, and the musicians could have been anyone they pulled off the street, furthermore you have no choice in listening to it and the windows are not soundproof. Local area 3/5: you're pretty far out from the centre of pathos but there are travel options very close to the hotel. There is a particularly good beach spot a short walk away but be advised, other than this beach there is nothing else to do locally that is not shopping or eating. There was no evidence of local crime or scamming going on and the area seemed safe and mostly clean.

Sounds Of Fatness Fat Freddie M

+ Beautiful hotel staff were amazing couldn’t do enough for all the guests. The room was clean and nice. Food wasn’t perfect but great selection and was very nice. Transport to and from beach was fantastic. - Extra 15€ Per night was a bit of a shock government tax - Arsenal lost.

Tea Jaho

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and always willing to assist, making us feel welcomed. The location was ideal, just a short walk from various attractions. Our room was stylish and comfortable, very clean, featuring a lovely view. We also appreciated the hotel’s amenities, especially the spa and restaurant. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone.

ersin erdal

There are multiple hotels belong to the same group (Mitsis). I think Family Village is the oldest one, therefore it is a bit neglected. The furnitures are old and a bit dirty. Access to the pools in front of the rooms is a very challenging for some of the rooms, especially the ones on the second floor. You have to go down the 3 meter ladder. Sunbeds on the beach are grouped by the hotels and Family Village is the one that has the fewest. So it is very possible you may not find a free sunbed when you go there even though there are a lot of free sunbeds belong to the other hotels. On the pozitive side: food was very good. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The coktail bar is always open and serves what ever you like. The shows by the pools in the evenings are fun too.

Fajken Bejko

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff was attentive and always ready to help with a warm smile. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and easy to access. Our room was modern and well-equipped, with a beautiful view from the window. We also enjoyed the hotel amenities, especially the pool and fitness center. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Matthew Gardner

We had a great time at this hotel. We had booked into a basic room which was fine and we were happy with. 3 days into our trip we got offered an upgrade to a room that had direct access to a pool. If you get the chance I would book this room. The drinks are all branded and the cocktails were lovely. The food was very tasty. The walk up and down to the beach is about 5 minutes and it not too bad of a walk. Overall I would fully recommend this hotel. We paid £700 each including flights and it was great value for money

Fortnit Life

Iberostar Royal Mansour is truly a gem, but what really makes it shine is the incredible staff. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The team goes above and beyond to ensure every aspect of your stay is perfect. The service is impeccable, with staff always attentive and ready to assist with any request. Whether it's a special dining arrangement or help with excursions, their dedication is unwavering. Their positive attitude creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Beyond their professionalism, the staff's personal touch stands out. They take the time to get to know you, making your experience feel personalized and special. It’s the people that make Iberostar Royal Mansour not just a luxurious place to stay, but a memorable one.

Sian Roberts

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!

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

I recently stayed at Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach with my family and had an overall excellent experience. The location is fantastic—right on The Walk in JBR, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and just steps away from the beach. It’s ideal for both leisure and business travelers. The rooms were spacious (although with 2 adults and 2 children it was a bit tight), with a modern design and a balcony. I appreciated the little details like the complimentary bottled water, and the high-quality toiletries. Service throughout the hotel was top-notch. The staff were consistently polite, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. Check-in and check-out were smooth. The breakfast buffet offered a generous variety of both international and local dishes—fresh, well-prepared, and constantly replenished. The beach access through their partner area was convenient and came with towels and loungers. If I had to point out anything, the elevators could be a bit slow during peak times, but it was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend Mövenpick The Walk for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Dubai’s JBR area with the comfort and service you’d expect from a five-star brand.

I spent a total of around four months at the Mövenpick Jumeirah Beach Hotel during two business stays, and I was impressed every time. The hotel staff were consistently friendly and helpful. What stood out to me the most was during my second visit – many of the staff still remembered my name, which truly made me feel at home. The breakfast buffet was very diverse and absolutely delicious – there’s something for everyone. The rooms were always clean and well-maintained, with two bottles of water provided daily – perfect for cooling down from the Dubai heat. A truly great hotel with excellent service – I’ll gladly return!

I would like to thank you very much for my next stay at your hotel. This place is very special for me in terms of cleanliness, nice atmosphere and professional service. I pay special attention in this opinion to the Restaurant and all the staff, waiters, cooks do very hard work, they are very professional. One of the waiters named Abdel made my morning coffee always taste delicious and the day at work was pleasant. 5 stars for Movenpick!!! best regards to all. See you in 2 months

I’d like to extend a big thank you to the reception team for their exceptional hospitality. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Yoga, who gave us a complimentary room upgrade. Our overall experience was fantastic, and we truly appreciated the warm welcome!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Movenpick, and I must say it was an outstanding experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of dishes that were both flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Mr. Abdel and Mr. Nithin and Rabin. Both of them went above and beyond to assist us, ensuring that our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. Their attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to help made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend Movenpick for its top-notch food and service!

We stayed at Le Royal Meridien and had a really good experience overall. The hotel has huge grounds, which is great for parents with kids — lots of space, greenery, and plenty of room to enjoy without feeling cramped. The service from the staff was excellent, super attentive and always ready to help. Special mention to the fact that they were very generous with still water, which is often a small but annoying issue in other 5-star hotels — here, we never had to ask twice and were always well stocked. The resort has three big swimming pools, so whether you want a lively atmosphere or a quieter spot, you’ll find your place. It’s definitely a family-friendly hotel, but there are still calm areas for those who just want to relax. One thing we didn’t love was the so-called sea view room in the new tower. The view turned out to be more of the harbour, buildings, and some construction — not exactly the sea view we expected. On the positive side, the room itself was lovely, modern, and very comfortable, and when we mentioned the view, the staff kindly gave us a free upgrade, which we really appreciated. Breakfasts were great, with a wide variety, and there are plenty of restaurants on-site for those who don’t want to leave the resort. Overall, it’s a very comfortable and well-run hotel, perfect for families or anyone looking for a relaxed getaway with great service.

We had the best week at Le Royal Meridien, it was our first time in Dubai and we’re so glad we chose this hotel to come to. My husband has status with Marriott so we knew we were going to be well looked after but I couldn’t believe how above and beyond everyone went. The concierge were so attentive especially when I left my phone in the taxi, they were so helpful at getting it back and so quickly. We had breakfast in the downstairs buffet and the Royal Club lounge, the choice of options in both were amazing. Lunch at the beach bars was always delicious and well priced. The Indian restaurant at the hotel was incredible, I wish we had visited more of the hotels restaurants because they looked amazing. We loved the vast selection of sun loungers on offer especially the adults only section on the grass it was perfect. The gym was amazing, a good selection of high-end equipment with amazing views. The hotel is in an excellent location close to JBR, the Marina and close to all other attractions by car. When we return to Dubai the Meridien is exactly we will stay, there is no second option.

This hotel made our holiday Truly memorable! The location is perfect because you are located on JBR walk and the beach is only 10 minutes walk away The food was delicious.. I was on a HB board and didn’t use the dinner/lunch option every single day but when I did, it was really good. The pools and the grounds were immaculate Now most importantly, the staff! The staff here are absolutely incredible. They will help you with anything and nothing is too much trouble for them. Special shout out goes to Khan who works at the front desk he was brilliant with my niece. He was very polite, helpful and came for a chat whenever he would see us asking us if we need anything! Zaheer also the front desk again was amazing with our little baby and went out of his way to give us a late check out so we can have a bit more time in the hotel before our flight If you’re planning to come to Dubai and you have a small child, this hotel is perfect!

Wonderful stay at the Royal Meridien, the perfect option for families. There are always available sun decks near the pools (3x in total). The direct access to the beach crossing beautiful gardens is fantastic. Many restaurants with extensive opening hours and we were very happy with the overall quality of the food (very good breakfast at Brasserie 2.0, nice Italian restaurant at la Strega, excellent Indian restaurant at Indiya). Hats off to the staff who cared a lot about our comfort and was systematically addressing any request in a timely manner, and always very friendly. We could not have found a better place to stay at in Dubai with a baby. Thank you !

Great hotel that does everything well. The lounge access is well worth it if a little too busy at times. It is obvious that many guests are regulars which is a good sign. Quite a quiet hotel that is aimed at the older guest market
