Bit of a mixed bag. On entry the road leading to the hotel and beach resort wasn't the best, first impressions and all that. Hotel lobby was ok. Front of house staff were very pleasant and were helpful. As I was very early my room was not quite ready but they worked hard to get it ready for me in time. But I was here for the beach and wanted an early start, so got ready and headed to the beach........ a quick walk around the hotel to where there is a quick boat ride across the river to the beach. The journey takes little more than 5 minutes, if that. I was happy, as I had most of the beach to myself, very few tourists knocking about at around 10 in the morning. Went for a nice walk along the beach, and for a quick dip into the water as well. All very peaceful and relaxing, bliss on a hot morning. Was a little thirsty and wanted to work on my tan, so got a few beers and ciders and relaxed on the sun lounger, some young lads help me set it up. Proceed to spend a few hours just chillin under the sun with my drinks. Hungry work so wanted some snacks, I went to the bar/restaurant area, and unfortunately there wasn't a whole lot on offer, really just some kebab meats on skewers. Ordered a few, which were expensive, very expensive, and tasted awful, full of fat. Added to that the service in the little bar/restaurant was diabolical, I was charged twice for an order of drinks, which I got some of it refunded, and the rest the bar man said was to the young lads who helped me set up the sun lounger, despite me tipping them already, a bit strange, not that it mattered as it was small money. But overall the staff were disinterested in their customers, preferring to sit around and chit chat. and I saw quite a few people make complaints about the service and the state of the food. I think the trouble here was that the staff were all very young and not very motivated, also the bar managers were just as lazy and useless. Very hopeless sight to see. After a while I returned to the "mainland" and noticed that there was a small bar to the side of where the boats were docked.......funny as it was very easy to pass by without noticing due to the lack of any signage stating it was a bar. Was pretty empty, but the bar lady (Genevieve, as far as I can remember, french name anyway!) was very friendly and professional. Me thinks this girl could and should be sent over to the beach bar to shake things up.......... Anyway after a few nice drinks in the bar as the sun went down, and after meeting a few nice people, it was time to hit the sack........... Room was decent, and bed was very comfortable...No complaints there. The hotel restaurant looked dirty and didn't look like a place that served good food. I could be wrong but impressions make a difference and I just didn't feel like trying it out. I skipped my breakfast the next morning. Overall the hotel and resort were a bit of hit and mix. Good value and hotel was fine, the beach was great, but service and a
