excellent experience at this hotel
complimentary cake fruit basket shuttle service
My stay included complimentary cake wine and a fruit basket to celebrate my anniversary. the hotel provided a shuttle service to kite beach a 20-minute trip. i found breakfast each morning at salt & pepper to be great with many options including a fresh egg station. abdullah ran the pool bar during the day and then the italian restaurant at night. He always knew our drinks order.
i noticed that after 3:30 pm there was no food available on the all-inclusive package until 6:30 pm if i wanted a snack it cost extra. a small selection of nibbles between this time would have been nice.

inflated price bad concierge
The breakfast met my expectations.
The concierge service disappointed me greatly. I felt that they took advantage of customers by initially quoting one price for the hotel taxi and then inflating it by 35% during the journey! This left me with no choice but to pay the increased amount. Very frustrating.

the breakfast buffet had plenty of options. there was a fresh egg station. this part of the experience was acceptable.
The all inclusive package was a real disappointment. the drinks selection could be better. the pool area felt small. Finding available sunbeds was difficult. i think the experience was just okay for the price i paid
