We were originally a little apprehensive about visiting this time of year but we had a great time and would definitely visit during Ramadan again...we found it to be be quiet and as we were on holiday to relax this suited us. Breakfast in the Selections was excellent as usual the staff are very friendly and always happy to help. We stayed in a room facing the road....it wasn’t a problem for us we would of preferred a marina view as it would of been quieter and as the hotel wasn’t at capacity it would of been nice but it didn’t affect our holiday at all. We stayed on a Premium All Inclusive basis and I would definitely recommend anyone visiting to do this you can eat in all the restaurants there is a limited menu but there is plenty of choice we were a group of 5 and everyone one of us found it to be acceptable. The hotel now offers water sports at the beach my husband went jet skiing with our nephew and they both loved it they found the people running this very good they go out with you but don’t stay too close just keep a distance away to make sure you don’t have any problems they even take a few pictures of you whilst out on the jet ski which was great too and they post them on Facebook so you can see them. The best part of the hotel is the Bayshore absolutely stunning pool and beach area we spent everyday there and we were very well looked after by all the staff....a big mention to Sanda the lifeguard and Ellison, Hans and the rest of the bar staff who go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great holiday...every member of staff seem to enjoy working at the Intercontinental and always have a smile on their faces.....the management should be very proud to have such excellent staff working at the hotel they are a credit 👏👏👏👏👏. We can’t wait to visit again next year and I’m sure we will again have another great holiday we come back as the hotel and service is second to none which you don’t get everywhere....keep up the great work Read less
