“Bad food grumpily served. Nice beach tho”
Like everyone else said before me - ditch any idea this is five star.
Staff here are sooo grumpy. Most clearly hate their job and you. I got fed up with the scowling after a couple of days. Service is frequently dire and infuriating.
The food varies from just plain bad to OK. Never better than that, except the early morning omlette guy. He was excellent, tho still grumpy.
The beach bar bit is nice, with comfy four poster seat thingies near the water, with volleyball and scenic camels to boot. The pool too is generous and deep and just nicely done. As is the swanky marble foyer, which is the only reallly high end thing here.
Room (executive club, whatever that means) was ok - stayed constantly cool without noisy air con, but the shower varied in temperature from scalding to freezing and back again while you're yepling underneath it. The bathroom was tatty and soaps and shampoo etc were cheap. At night you can hear lots of noise in the corridor and people next door filling baths etc.
And there's only two inteligible english language channels on the telly, one of which was fuzzy to the point of being unwatchable, leaving you with France 24. Joy.
Oh and some of the holes on the golf course have "craters on the green", my golfer buddies told me, saying they could never recommend it. Yet they charge £50 a pop.
The Prestige on the island is truly five star, but not this. It's three plus at best.
