Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

convenient locationcontinuous noiseunresolved issue
The location was pretty convenient, being close to various shops and restaurants..
I encountered a beeping noise outside my room. It was continuous, day and night, and made sleeping difficult. I reported it, but nothing happened to resolve the issue. there was a 24-hour period without water in the hotel, so I couldn't shower after a day trip.

the resort has a grand swimming pool. my kids really loved it. the beds were super comfortable and spacious rooms were a great plus. khan baba, a halal restaurant, is located right down the street, it was very convenient for us
the breakfast was very nice but the seating area was not big enough for all guests. we found ourselves sitting outside in the sun because the awning was broken. the pools have loose tiles, broken tiles, sharp tiles and it's just an accident waiting to happen

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

spacious roomefficient air conditioningconvenient shuttle
The room was spacious. It provided ample room for luggage and movement. The provided air conditioning worked efficiently. It maintained a consistently comfortable temperature. The pools had different depths. They accommodated both adults and children. I appreciated the availability of the shuttle to the beach. It made access convenient.
The gym equipment seemed slightly outdated.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel included three distinct pools. I observed that each pool offered various depths suitable for different age groups and swimming preferences. The main pool featured a slide and volleyball net offering fun activities. Plenty of loungers surrounded each pool.
