I spent a week at Cedriana Hotel at the end of April 2019. This hotel is a proper 3 star, but most facilities are in need of repairs. It looks as if there were no proper refurbishments since the ’90s. The bathroom we had in our room really wasn’t looking good (broken tiles, rusty water taps, some water dripping from the toilet, etc.), but it was clean and everything was working ok. I enjoyed the beds as they have very firm materaces. The bed linen and towels were clean and smelled nice. Forget about watching TV in the room. They have only a few channels (a couple of Russian, German, French, and Arabic). The quality of the picture is below any reasonable standards. Just forget about TV! The staff is very nice and helpful. I could easily communicate with most staff using English or German (I heard them speaking Russian as well, I assume they all speak French as well... and Arabic of course). The animation crew is always there to entertain the guests. The hotel is being kept clean to an OK standard. There is some dust in the storage in the room, nobody picks up cigarette butts left near the pool for a couple of days, occasional stains on the napkins in the restaurant… you know… that kind of stuff, but nothing major. The food at the restaurant (the all-inclusive option) was just fine. I think there was...I spent a week at Cedriana Hotel at the end of April 2019.

The food at the restaurant (the all-inclusive option) was just fine. I think there was something for every taste. I especially enjoyed the beef stew and turkey. The beer they serve is OK. You can also buy Heineken, Becks and one local brand called Celtia in cans and bottles. They also serve some drinks and spirits, but I didn’t try them.

Right next to the hotel is a shop, where you can buy water and soft drinks, snacks, clothes, and souvenirs (no alcohol).

The beach is approx. 300m away from the hotel. You need to cross the road and follow a path to get there. The path is only open between 8am and 6pm!
The beach itself is crap… there is no bar at the beach. I believe it has been demolished (I never asked). They have approximately 10 umbrellas there and it looks like they are borrowed/rented from the nearby hotel. They serve some drinks from a shed at the beach. So… technically they have a beach belonging to Cedriana hotel, but it does not look as nice as on the photos. I think they may be planning to rebuild the bar next season… just guessing here. There are public bars at the beach not far away, if you are interested.

There are two pools at the hotel. One outdoor and one indoor (not counting the pool for the water slides). The pool inside was particularly interesting in April as the water there was warm. Water in the pool outside was refreshing, to put it gently… lol. The deepest point in the outside pool is 1.70m. Water in both pools was clean.

If you are into sports, you can play tennis there - they have two courts - surface is concrete. Bring your own rackets and balls - their's are not good at all. You can also play pétanque... there are also fields to play football, beach volleyball, archery... there is also minigolf.

Internet is available only in the bar area and it isn’t very good. I’d recommend buying a SIM card (available in many local shops) and using mobile internet instead. I myself purchased an Orange card with 25GB of data to use for 45 dinars (there are cheaper options too – fewer data/other operators). It was working just fine for me. I was getting speeds of approx. 60Mb/s in my room!

Check out the photos I attached. They should give you a good idea of what to expect from this hotel.

As you can imagine the price for a vacation at this hotel wasn’t high, so overall I enjoyed staying there and I wouldn’t mind at all to visit Cedriana Hotel again in the future!More
