I looked through the reviews before booking this place and thought people must've been harsh or moaning - they weren't at all. I tried to be positive about this place but I'm shocked it is even open, let alone that it is advertised in holiday deals. I feel like i need to write this so no one else makes the mistake of booking this hotel. The only good thing about this place is the snorkelling trip to orange bay, which can be booked with the man who walks around at the beach. The staff on this trip were respectful, the scenery was stunning, the boat and equipment wereclean and the food was amazing. The hotel on the other hand, if I could I would give it no stars. From the beginning the level of unprofessionalism was shocking. The moment we arrived I was greeted by the 'security guard' who made remarks at me, then to follow the reception staff made me feel beyond uncomfortable with their gawking and questions about if I was married. I was prepared to experience this outside of the hotel but I was made to feel so unsafe that I didn't let my partner leave my side the entire holiday, not even in a locked room - I have solo-travelled before as a female and have never felt this unsafe and disgusted. We paid the extra for a 'sea view' which was nice when you looked past all the trees blocking the view. The room was foul, we pushed the two single beds together and uncovered floors that I don't think had ever been cleaned. There was dirt, hair, crumbs and other unidentifiable gunk. The bathroom was worse than what I imagine any public bathroom to be. The fridge was half frozen. The aircon rattled, the ceiling under it was sagging, and I don't believe it had ever been cleaned or serviced as it give us both a chest infection. We stayed for 7 nights and only had hot water for the last 2. The first night we didn't fuss as we got in at midnight and expected it may be warmer the following day, day 2 we showered before dinner and thought maybe everyone else was using it at the same time. Which now looking back, this is a hotel that shouldn't be the case anyway. We spoke to reception, he said he'd turn the boiler on for our room? Day 3 we went on a 21 hour trip to the pyramids and could no be bothered to complain further, we felt disgusting and were exhausted. Day 4 they told us they'd have someone look. Day 5, by this point we had NO water. We spoke to the manager and he said he'd have it fixed, we then went on the the safari and were covered in dust and sweat - still no hot water. We spoke to to manager again, he said give me more time - he had 8 hours since we spoke earlier and no one had looked it. He then sent a man with us who said he had to go look at something else and he'd be back soon - 40 minutes later no return. We now requested a new room - the reception staff and manager were so reluctant to give us a new room - you would've thought we were asking for their first born. Finally at 10pm or so we got a new room. Manager also told us he upgraded us - t
