“Not as bad as we excepted”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012 via mobile

We stay at this hotel from 15 of October for one week our holiday was 1 month that's whey we deside to start with soviva as I did before I will start with the good points
We arrive at midday we collect our room key after 30m the room was fine and clean the reception people are fine mid was v good
The bad points is no welcome drink the food was always the same every day the waiters are v v bad you will wait for your drink up to 30 m animation team they not doing any thing except playing music all day not much to do around the hotel or el kantoui the people around the lobby they try to sell you some ship trip or beach moto trip without you opinion !!!!!! the indoor pool is closed untill 20 of November ????? What for
All the staff asking for tip if not. No service

What I can say just go to this hotel to sleep only And for value of money

“Not perfect, but correct!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

I spent 2 days there, I attended to a conference held by AIESEC there. the hotel is nice, but once u get to the rooms, u are a little bit disappointed : it's not that really clean as u are expecting before getting to the room. the food was not so good, not tasty and sometimes was disgusting ! and the people there are not really nice ...!!

“Avoid at all cost!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

The room we had was clean. It was a walk to the main area but being a big complex we didnt mind. Struggling for sun beds on day one and we had to get up early to reserve them. As it was ramadam the complex was running on skeleton staff which caused queues at the bar and people waiting in the scorching sun. The drinks were warm and sometimes ran out of cups, which were plastic and collected and just rinsed out. Myself and many others suffered with tummy upsets. I took photos of the dried milk stain left in my coke glass and of the unclean resturant. It was advertised as 4star but clearly was a 2star. The food was poor and no variety and as we had paid for all in' we missed out on many meals as it wasnt fit to eat. Very poor! The sunbeds were broken and some days we were left with broken ones pinching our legs. Our room on the front of the hotel was like sleeping on a race track with bikes and cars racing through the night. Also there was a big generator working at night so we struggled to sleep all night. The pool was terrible. It was packed everyday and wasnt cleaned. The scum on the top was visible every day and very off putting. There was an unsavory man who was showing too much interest in the children and was "dealt with" by the staff but no police were called. So anyone could walk in off the streets, which alot of locals did with their children, until many of us complained. Over all it was a terrible holiday, the worst we have ever had and we were robbed! Complained to the staff also Thomas Cook and been fobbed off with excuses. No excuses for poor higiene and crappy food. We wont be using that agent again and will never go there again. Avoid at all cost!

Room Tip: If you must go, avoid the front of the hotel, its a race track
