Ali Baba Palace

The reason why I've only reaten 4stars , some of the hot food is cold in the chafing dishes , No allergien lables if the food contains any food allergies ( Nuts , gluten, eggs and so on ) if you are gluten intolerant the choice is very small ( hope you enjoy vegetable) Where we use colour coded boards for chopping food the use what ever board they want ( they used a brown chopping board which is for raw veg not cooked meat ) I saw a gentleman with a prob taking the temperature of the food and use the same cloth for about 5 items of food not using a prob wipe but a tissue. Food in the Shogun restaurant have to say was very good ,but rushed ,we got our starter we finished that not even took the plates away we had the second course put down in front of us with in 2min for the second course the main course was in front of us, just seemed to get us in and out , House keeping was very good . There is a few things that are not included , you have to pay for ( icecreams , candyfloss, popcorn , shesha, premium cocktails ( I found the cocktails very watery) ) Entertainment is very shocking not worth watching bing card games or something to do .

The beach was lovely and after a short swim out there's corals and plenty of fish to see. The rooms are lovely and hotel staff are fantastic. The drinks are overly sweet and syrapy and the cocktails don't taste the way you may imagine. All the cups are tiny and there's signs saying you can only get one drink at a time. There are staff all around that will keep your table supplied with drinks for the night so once your able to find a drink you like (and there is quite a lot to choose from) you can relax with your family and let the staff take care of you. There's a warm pool by the main lobby and the big pool was cold (in February) the sea was warm and crystal clear. The food was plentiful and not alot considering the size of the restaurant but I never ran out of new things to try.

The staff at this hotel are truly amazing. Nothing is ever too much for them! Lovely manager, head chef, restaurant team & poolside staff. The hotel is located on a beautiful beach, there is also lots to do within the hotel. Lovely rooms too! Thank you Ali Baba Palace 😁

The hotel was okay for the price, nothing special. We arrived late in the evening and could have eaten in the restaurant, but we didn't because we were already tired from the journey. The staff are sometimes chaotic and don't always give you their full attention, but this depends on where you are. The restaurant staff were always attentive. There are four buffet restaurants and a few à la carte restaurants, but you can only go to an à la carte restaurant once every seven days. The à la carte menu was better than the buffet. The buffet was sometimes a bit bland. There was a lot of choice, but little flavor. The evening activities were okay. There is something different every day, but it's all in the same vein and amounts to almost the same thing. A plus point is that there are many facilities. You can go bowling, play pool, roller skate, go to the disco, beach, swim, and visit the water park. Another plus point for the housekeeping, who took good care of the rooms, and special mention to employee Ali, who always welcomed guests warmly. Minus points for some male staff who looked at women strangely. Overall, it's okay, you shouldn't expect great luxury, we had expected a little more, but for the price you got what you paid for.

Stayed here on a couple of different occasions... The resort offers a good selection of different restaurants, 3 open buffet restaurants and 4 ala carte restaurants which you have to book. You are only allowed to book each ala carte restaurant once every 7 days, so can try them all aslong as they are available and not fully booked.On all occasions we really enjoyed the shogun (ala carte). The hotel itself is well-suited for everyone. The resort is very large and well maintained by the cleaners and gardeners. The pools and waterpark is very popular with everyone, likewise the beach area. We created some beautiful memories here on each occasion and surely will be back...
