On the staff:

"The waiters and the chefs who patrol the dining room are really friendly and love to chat if they have the time. Look out for a chef called Tareq, who loves to chat and takes pleasure in explaining what the different foods are. A waiter, named Abu, does a neat trick with a cup and saucer, and caught me on four or five occasions."

" if a leaf falls there is somebody to sweep it up straightaway! one day a gardener saw me smelling some flowers and he brought me the same flower every day leaving it on my balcony for the rest of the holiday."
                      TripAdvisor 1 January 2009

On the food:

"The food was good, i recommend the freshly cooked meat on the bbq outside, there's a different meat every night.  The lamb was top banana!  There's always something you fancy if not just pop over to kids corner for chicken and chips!"
        TripAdvisor 27 December 2008


On the sea:

"The variety of fish in the sea is simply amazing. We snorkelled nearly every day and never got bored with it. "
        TripAdvisor 22 December 2008 
        

Though not everyone was happy with the beach

"The beach is fairly coarse sand, and we would recommend taking some beach shoes as it was uncomfortable underfoot."
