Good Service, nice location, needs some reform

The Palavra Resort has an outstanding location in an island. It has a nice infinity beach pool, a few restaurants with decent food quality. The Service was very kind. However the rooms are not 5 star: the interior design is outdated, we stayed in a Suite with no view at all. No amenities or minibar.

2/10 Poor

I have found a huge lizard in my room , and it took them 2 hours to take care of it. They actually killed the lizard inside the room and gets dirty. Management said it is normal to fine one inside your room because it’s a resort (Unbelievable) First & Last time in the place

4/10 Fair

Disappointed stay

Make sure to check the room before check in. I had problems with the front door does not luck properly (major security issue), jacuzzi does not work, check-in takes long time, and staff is not fast to respond back
Khalid, 1-night trip

The hotel canceled my reservation

The reef boutique hotel canceled my reservation and said we Already sent full booking email to hotel website Unfortunately I spent two hours waiting for nothing
Abdulrahman, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property theme was perfect for relaxing but the issue is some cabinets were broken and lose 3 lights were burnet , the electricity went off 2 times which is really not pretty for what i paid. Told the receptionist and didn’t feel that they were willing to offer something back.
Yousif, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

So many things r not working! The spa and kids club r out of service. Breakfast is a 3 star motel quality. Bathroon plumbing had a problem and there would be so much noice everytime we flush the toilet! I tried to get a drink at the pool and add it to my bill I was told I had to pay immedialy and I did not have my wallet on me. The rooms interior is so ugly! Like a fortune was spent on exterior and landscape but the rooms were of horrible taste.
