Our review

A budget-friendly five-star hotel in a bay, featuring a stunning coral reef and a gentle, sandy entry into the sea.

The grounds are incredible, reminiscent of a botanical garden. Guests also have access to the neighboring Brayka Bay Hotel (which is more active).

There’s a shared disco serving both hotels.

The aquapark and kids’ club are shared by the two properties, and the animators speak English.

The property has four pools (one heated).

Dining is simple, with one Lebanese à la carte restaurant offering one free visit per week.

The beach is large and shared between the two hotels, but each has its own loungers. There’s a sandy lagoon, plus excellent reefs on either side.

A dive center is available, as well as a pontoon.

Wi-Fi is free, but not available in the rooms. You can buy a SIM card at reception for about $25.

Each winter, the rooms receive a cosmetic refresh, although the furnishings and plumbing are older.

Guests sometimes mention a lack of hot water.

The seafront rooms are currently being renovated.

A kettle can be provided on request.

Overall, it’s suited for an economical holiday — worth recommending if the price is right.
