Spacious rooms,clean bedroom and bathrooms,clean enjoyable beach with very helpful staff. If you are after parties and noise,then this is NOT your hotel. Only seekers of serenity should check in this hotel.The only means of entertainment is... More

This is my 2nd time in this hotel. I love this place, it is a really special "bijoux" in the world. The resort is beautiful, the pools, the rooms, the restaurants are clean and luxury. The staff is very competent and cheerful, especially at beach, in the restaurant and in snack bar. The food is different every day, with a... More

The second year in a row we went to The Palace for un unforgettable vacation. A fabulous hotel, great service and friendly staff. Although everything was still at a very high level; there were two things that had changed since last year. The private beach wasn't private anymore (rented to an Italian travel agency), it was crowded with loud Italians... More

We had stayed in Intercontinental Port Ghalib over May bank holiday 2013 and it was fabulous. Firstly the hotel itself is less than 10 minutes drive from the airport so as soon as you get there you can enjoy the beach&sun straight away without prior spending an hour in transfer. The same applies to departure and check out; literally on... More
