The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e113031d-30e6-4b67-a400-3516d495a97a-1751572101057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d92b8c84-e661-4cbc-8813-5f3a3c4e89f7-1751572101110.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eab729a3-8ac4-4839-85aa-dc045ba465d0-1751572100911.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8f38b37-a5de-45c0-88ae-6f219fe16305-1751572101079.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Abdel elah Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna-Maria Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super nice hotel with great stuff and politeness.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The only reason I dropped one star overall is that I felt the food and drinks were very overpriced considering the good but not excellent quality. We were stunned by the buffet cost considering we are not big eaters. ##### Mark Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Husam Aug 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All i need to say is WOW.
