We left Dar Hayet this morning (24 September 2011) and are surprised to find such generous reviews about it on Trip Advisor. The hotel is grubby and in real need of a revamp. The facilities are old and tatty - beach chairs broken and cushions torn. Our room was adequate but the bathroom was disgusting. The toilet leaked and every second day the towels appeared to have come from a 1 star hotel. This is after we had to change rooms - we were locked out of the first room 3 times because of the faulty lock. Much of this was fumbling in the dark because the lights did not work in the passage. We were given the option to upgrade but why? The room we had should have been of the same standard as the rest. We think a lot of people are booked into the hotels worst room in the hopes they will upgrade. The staff were friendly although we did have an incident of theft. The hotel is in a great location but the weekends are noisy and busy. The food was tasty and the restaurant service excellent. Overall we would not rate this hotel - it is in serious need of TLC.
