I reviewed the Safir in January 2011 and this was my fourth visit here. Having enjoyed the quiet location and the wonderful attentive staff on my previous visits, I booked another four week stay this January, BUT the hotel has engaged a DJ who blasted out the most appalling music (euro trash Smurf tunes thru to angry Gangsta rap) from 10-00am to 12-00am and then again from 3-00pm till 4-00pm just in time to shatter the peace when sitting on the balcony reading or relaxing, there was no escape from the music by the pool, on the beach or worse still even in the rooms with the widows closed!
I changed rooms but there was no escape and I cut short my holiday checking out a week early. If you are looking for a quiet time DO NOT stay here!!!
The staff are fantastic and it is a shame that the management do not understand that most of the guests here are mature and do not want to be subjected to thumping bass in the daytime. When challeged the DJ did play different stuff, but that turned out to be awful versions of old favourite tunes played on Pan Pipes or heavily mangled piano pieces, I still have the "improved" theme to the Deerhunter running around inside my head.
I definitely will not be returning to the Safir until the management see sense and peace and quiet is restored.
