It's a very nice hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. There are also free shuttles to the beach, which are also very over-punctual.
Except for one small thing, I'm really happy with the hotel.
Otherwise it was unfortunately at the evening buffet, the Iftar sometimes very overcrowded and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed with many foreign guests, so that sometimes you were no longer assigned a table and had to take care of cutlery and drinks yourself, which is never a problem on quieter evenings was. What bothered us, however, were a few guests who stood in front of the buffet from their plate with their bare hands, e.g. Eating the rice with the sauce or while they were standing in line for dessert, eating ice cream in the waffle at the same time and pieces of it falling onto the buffet. You lost your appetite a little. If you went to eat a little later in the evening to avoid the rush, there was sometimes no dessert left, whereupon you are told to go straight to dinner on time. I think the hotel management could also point out to the guests that something like this is appropriate at home or at the table, but not at the buffet in a 5 star hotel, and then, if necessary, refer such guests from the restaurant. The hotel doesn't have to put up with everything from guests, just out of respect for the kitchen staff, who really went to great lengths to prepare the dishes.
