5th stay at this hotel in the West Bay, Adults Only. Great Room on the ground floor, Room 170. 2 large beds, settee, table and en suite shower room, and patio out onto the lawn with a sea view. Tea and coffee making making facilities and mini bar with drinks and milk, replenished as and when you want. Staff remembered me from last year, and all welcomed me back. Food good, can always find something to eat. Restaurant spotlessly clean. Many thanks go to Mostafa and his team in the West Bay restaurant. Never had to ask for a drink as they all remembered our choices. Thanks also go to the guys in the Sunset Bar, always had a smile and only too happy to serve you. Also pool service at the adult only pool. I'll be back next year and would recommend, apart from the smokers which you can't control.

Relax and chill at the beach resort fort arabesque resort and spa Overall Enjoyed our stay, Nice chilled and relaxed Access For people in wheelchairs there is a lift to the different floors, if you want to access the pool or restaurant take the lift to floor one and turn left. Go down the slope and take the door on the left for the restaurant or the doors in front for the pool area and beach Rooms Rooms are very spacious and clean with a really comfortable bed which comes with a large duvet Rooms come with free air con , free safe , hairdryer , plenty of plugs , balcony and fridge (badged as free mini bar but we only ever had water ) Rooms high standard of cleaning daily with fresh fluffy towels . Decor nice but we found some rooms were more modern but the rooms are not dated . Bathroom had a supply of toiletries which could be topped up as you require which was a lovely touch Smoking rooms appear to be on the 1st floor As you enter your room there are two buttons for you to press either for do not disturb or clean my room which we thought were nifty. Pool/beach Pool area nice and quiet and definitely not overcrowded and clean The beach has plenty of sunbeds…BUT….. the hotel offer a beach plus service … this costs €70 euros for a week or €11 a day . With this comes 2 beds an umbrella, a chair table and cool box filled with what you’d like , a mixture of beer, soft drinks or water .. this is the only guaranteed way of getting a place . We looked on the first day and every one was already reserved. Initially we were not impressed by this but it did take away the mad rush in the morning trying to get sunbeds which made it quite nice and every day a lovely chap bought our ice box within 10 mins of being on the beach Beach Towels…have to say these are the best towels we’ve had on holiday, super thick and long..the hotel like you to drop them off every night so they can be cleaned ready for the morning. The kiosk is open super early till late Food foodwas nice with a good choice , my husband loves fish and it was always fresh and nice, they have a lobster night too. You can enter the restaurant 2. Ways either down the stairs in the reception area (floor 2) or on floor 1 by the lifts there are 3 little steps which look like tradesman’s entrance but at the bottom of the corridor on the left is a door into the restaurant. My top tip would be if entering via reception area when you go into the dining room the buffet is to your right, walk past this area and go up the 3 stairs where you’ll find another buffet area less busy and so much brighter and airy, all the staff are lovely. There is also a children’s buffet area which is nice There is also another entrance into the restaurant from level 1, come out the lift go down the steps or slope into the corridor and go through the last door on the left You can eat at the main buffet restaurant, la piazza which is by the pool which also has a serve yourself ice cream machine (top tip, each machine has 3 levers, the middle lever is a mix of the two ice creams on that machine) or you can eat at gorge beach bar , this also has snacks until 5 pm which was always fresh Checkout We were not lucky enough to get a late checkout room but we were allowed to use one of the rooms for 30 mins to shower and change which cost nothing Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff Toilets As you walk into the lobby on the left As you walk into the lobby turn right and they are just by the slope Level 1 by the lifts , down the steps on the right Behind the pool bar The only reason I’m giving it 4 score is Charging for beach seats , drinks were nice but no iced slush cocktails or drinks, can’t use the gym without having to pay which we’ve never encountered before and you have to pay for fresh orange juice as an extra
