10/10 Excellent
"We had such an amazing experience at Manara Luxury Hotel! From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. A huge thank you to Iyad at reception — he was absolutely amazing! He accommodated us throughout our entire stay, helped us with everything we needed, and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. His hospitality really stood out. We stayed in the Premium Suite, and it was gorgeous! The room had everything we needed, and the service was incredible. The team would even call our room to check on us and make sure we didn’t need anything. Amani was so sweet and helpful as well, and Mohammad was wonderful and offered us coffee as soon as we arrived. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind and welcoming. For dinner, we went to Levantine Lebanese Cuisine, and the food was absolutely delicious! There was a great selection, and everything we tried was amazing. Faris, the manager, kept checking on us and made sure we were having a great time. Elias and Mohammad were also wonderful and made our dinner even more enjoyable. We honestly had such a great experience from beginning to end. The hotel, the suite, the food, and especially the staff were all amazing. We loved everything about our stay and would absolutely recommend Manara Luxury Hotel. So worth it!!"

"We were impressed the staff were very friendly and professional, room was clean, the breakfast was okay, but we would have loved to have more fresh fruits varieties, and sourdough bread. The meals we had at the pool were good and the greek salad was super delicious. The complementary welcome drink at the reception was yummie, and the virgin Pina Colada at the pool was refreshing (thank you). The hotel was really nice and the pool was great, the view from the room over looking the sea was breathtaking. I would recommend having a speaker at the beach to hear the music, and it would be nice at the pool showers to have an electrical plug to dry our hair. The life guard and the receptionist Ghada and Ibrahim were super hospitable, and the lady hostess at the pool bar was really nice she remembered specifics about my allergies when I placed an order the following day -really impressive. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will come again and recommend it to family and friends."
