Disaster

This hotel was a complete disaster from start to finish. Not only were the rooms filthy, but they also scammed us by overcharging for laundry services. The pathways around the hotel were uneven and dangerous, and the stairs were incredibly slippery. We even witnessed a staff member slip and injure himself! This place is a safety hazard and a complete rip-off. Save your money and stay far away from this hotel.

The hotel is well organised & all staff are so kind, helpful & smiley, the 3 times buffet include many varieties with very good taste, thanks for chefs, really enjoyed the swimming pool with par includes many varieties of beverages & snakes, the gym hall is good & well facilitated, animation team doing a good job but they need to be more supported with other art team especially during evening like the belly dancer whom introducing the show only once weekly. but in general with my family we enjoyed our stay very much.

La posizione della struttura è ottima.. Soprattutto per quanto riguarda la spiaggia che essendo in una baia è molto riparata dal vento e ci si sta veramente bene e ci si può sempre bagnare perché il rife è a distanza... Il personale del servizio taxi che si trova all interno dell hotel è a dir poco spettacolare... Disponibile.. Cordiale.. Parla italiano e aiuta per ogni tipo di problema... L unica grande pecca dell hotel per noi italiani è il mangiare... Bisogna accontentarsi di riso e pane.... Un grande peccato perché altrimenti sarebbe tutto al top..

Pulizia, cibo internazionale ma buono (la pasta era cotta abbastanza bene), personale educato e disponibile, animazione presente con adulti e soprattutto con i bambini. La baia, punto di forza del resort con coralli e pesci a portata di mano. Nel complesso consiglio vivamente di andare all'aurora Bay resort.

La cosa migliore è sicuramente il personale, molto gentile, disponibile e simpatico, sia del resor sia delle associazoni che ci lavorano all'interno ( Easyway taxi e Duck Superior). Le cose che, a mio avviso, hanno bisogno di più cura sono l'animazione e la varietà del cibo.
