3-star plus is a fair rating from Jet2. I read reviews about the thin walls but didn’t think anything of it, but they really are. I go on holiday and expect to get a decent night’s sleep. Sadly this was not the case, we had extremely noisy neighbours who kept us up until all hours on several nights. Then we could hear all our other neighbours moving chairs, opening drawers and moving suitcases all night - any noise, it could be heard through the very thin walls and ceilings. The food was delicious but not a great variety for a vegan diet. No non-dairy milks available at breakfast (which is also poor if anyone is lactose intolerant) and most foods were unnecessarily cooked in butter. No vegan options at the snack bars either. Managed to make up my plate with pasta, chips and salad/veg most days. Was also disappointing that a Greek island only had olives available on the last day. My non-vegan partner said the variety of other food options was also average. With lack of sleep and poor food options, I struggled to relax for the first few days of our holiday. The evening entertainment was poor at this time of year, mostly YouTube quizzes and audience members ‘becoming’ the entertainment. We preferred a few quiet drinks in the main bar, playing card games. The room we had was extremely small (our balcony was half the size of others - the chairs were pressed tight to the walls) but functional. Our view was meant to be a garden view, but most of our view was the roof of the gym below us. One day the hot tubs from the premium-area overflowed and gushed down onto our balcony and staff had to enter our room to sort the issue. A strange concept that the sink was not in the bathroom, but outside the bathroom instead. Having said that, the Marrakesh adults-only area was the saving grace for this hotel, this area was worth 5 stars on its own. It really was a paradise. The vegan options at this restaurant were far better, they catered for starter, main, sharer and dessert. We had one meal here in with our all-inclusive package and it was the best meal all week. The pool area was fantastic and a true oasis. The bar was sufficient (beer, wine, soft drinks, water all available on all inclusive) and this area alone is what might entice us to return to this hotel. The views from the restaurants were certainly ones worth waking up for. The shuttle bus to the beach was handy (although it was also walkable in about 15 mins with a slight incline). And the staff were all friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for what we wanted - a quiet getaway, close enough to the beach for a day out, close to the main WaterPark in Faliraki and not too far from Old Town Rhodes if you’re happy to get a bus or taxi. Would we return to this hotel? Possibly, if the price was right, if just for the Marrakesh adults-only area. If we returned, I think we would spend the majority of our holiday in this area, as we both work with children and appreciated a space to be with just
