We liked the hotel, and we liked the dinner. The beach were pretty good and the water was excellent. However: We hated the “All inclusive” concept, the way thay ran it, and I don’t think we ever been so irritated on a vacation before – ever. From day one we had the feeling that we already had paid, so there was absolutely only a minimum of service to us – we really were treated as second rang guests. 1) The term “All Inclusive” should actually describe what we have bought and paid for. In the beach bar the only inclusive things we’re a boring piece of “day’s pizza” or chips. There were about 20 things to eat on the map – but none of them were covered by “all inclusive”. In the garden snack bar it was almost the same – though there were some extra choices like cake, ice and sandwich’s. However you could only get something to eat on “all inclusive” after 15:00. 2) The hotel runs a politic saying “one card / one drink” or “one card / one “something eatable”. This means you get in the line, orders a cup of coffee and something to drink to the coffee – but you are not allowed to do that ! First you can get the drink, go down to your chair, wait 5 minutes, go back in the line again, and order coffee for your drink. This is incredible stupid and irritating. It feels like you just have to stand in line all the time and everybody get’s irritated. 3) When you buy a beer (paying) you get 0,5 litre. When you use “all inclusive cards” you get something in between 0,25 and 0,3 l. This mean you have to run and get in line again and again. 4) The snack bar only opened for “all inclusive food” between 15 and 18. Nevertheless I came in to have a piece of cake and a cup of coffee around 17:45 – 17:50. But they wouldn’t serve me because they claimed the time was over 18 5) I stood in the line at the beach bar. 2 before me – two after. The first one after me carried a 10 Dinar note – all others had cards. To the waiter moved from behind the desk, went back the line, took the 10 Dinar, went back – and served that guy first!! Talk about second rang people. 6) In the snack bar you got wine from real wine glass if you paid on the spot. We – who had cards – had wine in lousy, small plastic glasses. 7) The cards themselves were a rather irritation solution. You have to carry them all the time, the waiters almost every time had problems with the reading / registration.
