Vincci Saphir Palace & Spa

Excellent service, beautiful place. Many thanks to Ms. Haifa and Mr. (Sorry I don't remember his name, his office is just behind the reception desk). Polite and helpful restaurant staff and reception desk staff. I enjoyed staying in this hotel.

Hotel generally very tired and outdated; understaffed across all areas and operations. Staff were very friendly, they tried their very best but, were often overwhelmed due to demand. On the beach stated it was on the beach, clever photography hid two lane dual carriageway between hotel and private beach. Sadly beach not as private as private would suggest; with walk ins off the street taking beds. On the Beach stated it as a four star accommodation, other guests stated their tour operator rated the hotel as five star. We all agreed cleanliness, faculties and service nearer a two to three star two swimming pools; one dedicated to small infants. Main pool graduated from 10cm deep to 200cm deep with shallow walk in entry, lots of access steps and ladders. However pools had significant algae growing on grout between pool tiles, pool tiles slimy underfoot and geese tide mark running round pool edge. Poll drains similarly dirty. Pool patios washed down daily, sadly some guests just disposed of cigarette buts on patio areas. Disgusting behaviours. Only two bars; one in main lobby, one in shallow pool. Pool bar often left unattended during 2 hr lunch period Entertainment consisted of staff led pool aerobics and karaoke. Music came from single speaker in pool bar, music way too loud often reaching levels greater than 105Db at 30 meters from speaker. Complained on mine and poor barman’s behalf. Entertainment staff just laughed it off. Special shout out to Rafik the pool bar man for his excellent service, the man worked very hard despite the harshest working environment I have ever encountered. The very loud music spoilt my holiday and drastically reduced my consumption at the bar (we booked all inclusive and I lost weight). Hotel rep Salem, don’t book trips through him; he is very expensive, double the price of tour operators outside the hotel and not often truthful. Don’t use ticket touts book with a tour operator in the marina. Al a carte menu non existent; no choice available, consequently no point in booking this opportunity. However, food in general quite good with great many of choices to be had; fresh fruit, salads and breads always available. Freshly BBQ food available at lunch and dinner, sadly chefs are lazy and BBQ food just cremated and same utensils used on raw and cooked food. Shame really. Inadequate maid service, we had to ask for bedding exchange after first week, requested further bedding change only to find two additional pillows; repeated request, more pillows arrived. Had to physically show bedding needed changing before request was dealt with satisfactorily, towels not changed and fresh towels often missing/not replaced. Requested room cleaning was often just overlooked or room service request on door handle turned round to do not disturb, other guests also had same experience. Requested additional lighting to support only one bedside lamp (no ceiling lights) never arrived despite repeated requests. No safe in roo

My daughter and I were satisfied with the Saphir Palace&Spa for the second time and we were very excited again. When we entered the hall, we were greeted by a very calm, relaxing atmosphere. You will be greeted by very nice and helpful staff at the reception. We had a room with a beautiful view of the sea, everything was beautifully clean, the cleaning ladies were always helpful, very fresh and we were always ready. They came later, perhaps during a longer stay it may seem that the choice of dishes is not very varied. The service in these areas of the restaurant and at the bar was very helpful and nice. The hotel offers many beautiful trips to the surrounding area, the gentleman who offers them does not force you, he will explain everything to you in detail. And the best atmosphere, the hotel has beautiful swimming pools in the gardens for children and adults, there is also a bar that will serve you as an adult drink, which will pleasantly serve you and refresh you. no roar of small children. During the day you can take part in a pool workout, which really didn't go wrong thanks to the wonderful and great animators Emma and Louma, we had a lot of fun together in the water. The girls have their hearts in the right place, they accompanied us all day and always prepared beautiful and unforgettable evenings. Some people felt that they wanted entertainment, but it's not always just about the animation. They definitely had a lot of fun, on my behalf Emma and Louma praise, a big thank you and perhaps a big kiss. We will definitely visit the hotel again in the future and we are already very happy, thank you again for everything. Mom, Nicol and Maty ❤️❤️❤️

Good food, good everything but Haifa is the best women around the Hotel. You can easily contact her if you want something particular to eat on Al Carte. Shes always bright and happy, i really reccomend her!
