Family holiday

Reviewed Aug 23, 2023via mobile
Ok so just returned from Arabia Azur resort.
It started very disappointing as check in took a while and when we went to our room which was a long walk insufficient beds. I was told the sofa bed was ok for the child (aged 12) yet was a replica of a park bench also no extra bedding for this. Totally unfit for purpose.
Then we returned to reception to report issue was told will have to change next day - I wasn’t happy with this as this was a night with nowhere to sleep then I was taken to see another room …. 2 beds slightly bigger than single and told put them together all sleep together. this time as oppose the one double bed in the first room.
I refused point blank as my booking clearly started 3 bedded room. After over and hour and half a single bed and bedding was added to the first room we had allocated and this was acceptable. The room was lovely and spacious but dated in decor. The balcony view was lovely (room B263). Day 2 our room fridge didn’t work - was replaced upon reporting no issues then.
The cleaners were fantastic came daily and worked very hard. Plenty fresh towels.
The breakfast wasn’t the best but you will get by very German orientated but never til this holiday have I seen mashed potato for brekkie!!! My highlight during breakfast was the 2 chefs on the egg pans wow how impressive the way they worked and always joking and smiling and so happy.
The hotel has a strong German and Russian presence very limited British there and some staff really struggled understanding our requests and conversations.
The lunch is much better in the main restaurant than the Marina restaurant (this is at the end of the lagoon) although the chef doing the pizzas there was lovely and pizza was good and fresh other options limited. Evening meal on the terrace was also plentiful but like all inclusive hot n miss and eventually all tastes same.
We visited the Thai restaurant during our stay there - waste time wasnt no different to what we had really . Spicy seafood platter no spice and when reported was handed a bottle of Tabasco sauce lol.
The foam party and the mr an mrs games and the beach party with animation team were fun but others than that the animation was a down side. Repetitive daytime activities and lots of light and dance shows which were diabolically rubbish.
Plus the the rates they hold evening entertainment is real hot and the Air con appears poor in there compared to the rooms and other areas of the hotel.
The lagoon area beds are super comfy and the staff are always available walking for drinks etc
The poolside sun beds are uncomfortable and cheap and nasty and a load of rubbish you sit on them and give yourself a head Injury lol as they fling up and the head area does not stir securely despite using various beds they were all obviously poor quality beds.
The towel service is brilliant though.
The staff from receptionists to waiters and chefs were all very helpful and truly did want you to be happy. However, the hotel facilities are more a three star in my eyes.
The guys in the Jewel shop were very friendly and good haggling. Special mention to Ali who arranged boat trip but unfortunately due to winds didn’t go ahead but issued a full refund and his disappointment and apology really showed how much he cared for the experiences. Plus, we learned him some welsh language hahaha he nailed it !!! Lol.
The lagoon has a real alive sea absolutely fantastic if you like snorkelling etc. very windy resort but helped with the heat.

The all inclusive alcohol drinks are rubbish very limited and no option to have named spirits like Malibu etc … some cocktails are chargeable and ice cream limited times
The 3-6 snack area was literally a griddle one choice
Date of stay: August 2023
Room Tip: Don’t have the ice I think it’s contributed to some unpleasant D&V Also ? If they use the water...

Dear Kelnco,

thank you for choosing Arabia Azur Resort and sharing your review with other holiday makers.

However, we are really sorry that we did not manage to meet all your expectations.
Whenever you may have experienced a poor service anywhere, please accept our sincere apologies.

It is very important to us that our guests are satisfied and we appreciate any kind of constructive criticism so that we can continue to develop and improve in the future.

It is very unfortunate that you were dissatisfied with your stay in our hotel, but we are also sure that we could have met your expectations, if you e.g. would have shared your points of complaint with our management and/or Guest Relations team during your stay.

Most of our guests are very satisfied with our hotel and have no reason to complain. We always try to do our best to make every guest happy, but unfortunately sometimes things don't always go as expected, which in turn can upset the guest. But only if we are informed about any dissatisfaction can we work on it and change it for the better.

We also don't want to forget to thank you for the positive comments about our services, we are very happy that we were able to convince you at least in these points.

But we are also firmly convinced that the many positive reviews and the large number of our regular guests cannot be wrong and speak for our house.

Nevertheless, we do hope that one day you will give us a second chance to show you that we care deeply about our guests' concerns so that they have a relaxing holiday with us.

Best regards
Arabia Azure Management

Serious safety incident

This hotel is 3 star at best! Not all inclusive, infested with bed bugs, dirty, rude or lecherous, perverted and aggressive staff.

We woke up on the second day covered in Bed bug bites, on the third day a cockroach was in my mums bed we were moved rooms, this was to the same basic room provided.
Everything and everywhere is Filthy. Especially the rooms, the bedding is so old, yellowing and bobbly, not clean, does not feel nice to sleep in. The towels you are given for the beach/pool are old worn and dirty like everything at this hotel. The hotel is old, dirty and in desperate need of a refurb.

The food is the worst I’ve ever had in any hotel in the world, and we are a well travelled family. Everything is So bad, so basic. All you can ever get is chicken wings, grisly beef, or under cooked foul tasting fish. Absolutely no choice for children. Two adults and a child in our party and we ate bread and Pringles (that we had to buy from the hotel shop) for our entire stay. In a ten night stay we have sadly not enjoyed even 1 nice evening meal. It’s as little effort, as little portions and as little cost as they can possibly get away with. I haven’t eaten as badly in all my life as we have at this hotel over ten days!

If you are happy to eat nothing but bread every meal of the day for your entire holiday then you’ll be fine here.

My child lost 10lb in weigh on this holiday because he has barley eaten for ten days! (Photos are only a few examples of how bad the food was)

This is Not all inclusive, we asked for a bottle of water from the pool bar, we were told water not free. We have spent a fortune on drinks that should have been included. Pay extra and you can get lovely cocktails, milkshakes, smoothies and ice cream, but again only if you pay extra for them. This is what I’ve payed for when I booked my holiday surly?!

Pool snack bar is not a snack bar, all you can get is watered down juice or Pepsi, wine that’s like vinegar or beer that’s like water. No cocktails are included. No food available in the hotel between 10:30-12:30 and 3:30-7pm. As a party of two adults and one child we spent most days hungry, and thirsty fed up of drinking fizzy pop, which is all you could have as an all inclusive guest.

-We spent a fortune on things that were not included including drinks and food because we were all starving!

The all Male staff at the hotel are over friendly and hassle you everyday with sexually suggestive comments and gestures all the time, one actually touched my bum. Either that or they are aggressive and rude. I was on a family holiday with my child. Got to the point where I was worrying about even wearing a summer dress on holiday because of how forward and leering the staff are.
The pool staff are like military police, constantly blowing whistles to stop you from doing one thing or another, are abusive and rude. Pool staff verbally abused my disabled mum and son for wearing a cotton tshirt in the pool, claiming cotton is a toxic fabric, when I tried to explain that it was so hot and they didn’t want to burn one of the told me ‘princess you don’t understand’. We were shouted at and humiliated about a tshirt in front of the entire pool

We were harassed no matter where we were in the hotel, to buy cocktails, ice creams (non of which are included as they should be in an all inclusive hotel) portraits, spa treatments, booking a la cart restaurant, anything they can sell you, all this hotel wants is your money.

Excursions in hotel not legal, not associated with hotel and just want to overcharge as much as possible, especially if your English. Please do not book with them. Although good luck because they don’t take no for an answer and hassle you with the need to know why you don’t want to do something.

Stunning location, the beach is beautiful, such a shame this hotel is so very abysmal, would not go back if it was free.

The pool is nice, but the swim up bar advertised is no longer there, and the pool bar is filthy, you can get fizzy pop or watered down dilute pop and no snacks at all all day. At around 4 each day they get out more bread buns and either chicken wings or grotesque vegan burgers, we are not vegan, even if we were we still have tastebuds and these were soooo bad! The food at this hotel is so bad I wouldn’t feed it to my dog!

You can’t get a sunbed because staff are paid extra to save them for people. Unless you get up around 7am and battle to get one. We were told if we were happy to pay the staff extra everyday we could have sun beds saved for us. Half of them are broken, and the other half have cigarette burns in them.

No free Wi-Fi only near the pool and in the lobby, you have to pay for it on your room.

Fully smoking hotel! People smoke everywhere, in the restaurant, by the pool

-Every day I have been asked where my husband or dad is, like I can’t bring my son on holiday without a senior male escort.

There is no bowling alley, no swim up pool bar, half of what is advertised is closed down or so run down it needs knocking down!

The hotel is NOT what had been advertised to us and not the 4 star resort we have paid for! Raising this with our holiday provider, because we are so disappointed by how much we paid and how bad it was.

Room tip: Save your money and book elsewhere, we were totally duped by what is advertised and what you actually get.

The hotel was beautiful, the staff very professional. The food was excellent and there was a large choice of activities (excursions, diving, etc). But the added value of the hotel is really its team of entertainers, always available, motivated, with a smile on their face and their hearts on their sleeves. The evening shows were hilarious, the daytime games delighted the kids, the volleyball matches were hectic! Thanks to the animation team, we laughed, danced, we maintained our health and all that is priceless! For all this thank you!
