The hotel and its facilities are great. However, I was surprised by the following: - Room was not perfectly clean (ground and towels) - Loud noises from many rooms (music, dancing,,,etc) - Room service hardly pick the phone. Additionally, it takes more than 45 minutes to bring anything (including water or ice). Honestly, I was not happy during my stay at the Sofitel.

Well a slight issue with your F&B staff in handling our request for the breakfast in the room as we have a PWD guests, Room Service staff seems that they have a miscommunication or they are properly handed the work to the next shift staff . 1st day we have requested the breakfast to be served in the room and room service staff advised of the timing changed and acknowledged byvthem the food was served more than 1 hour late and the same issue on the second day. We specifically requested the dates so the guests can take their medicines on time but did not happened. Also calling the operator and the telephone extensions taking so long to answer. This is not a complaint rather a constructive critisicm that maybe needs more improvements. Thank you

First thanks it’s was a special day for me because this day was my wife birthday and I want to make a surprise to her , I made a reservation at your hotel and I asked to decorate the room with cake to celebrate with my wife , The reservation clerk told me that I had to pay immediately so that they could make the necessary arrangements before our arrival , And I paid immediately without delay after sending the link , We arrived an hour later to make sure the room was ready , I went to the reception to check in to be surprised by the receptionist that I have to wait an hour for the room to be ready . This is not all. After I went to the room to celebrated the cakes it was’t there, and I tried to contact the room service and reception by the phone and no one answered me, and I personally went to complain to the reception and I wait for the cakes more then 2 hours.

Our experience is alright but not the best. First we were questioned by one of your staff when we went to the pool if we are staying at the hotel, there were 5 of us and got a sarcastic response of “all of you?” Obviously we booked for 2 rooms. Btw, this question was not asked to other guests so I’m wondering is this a company policy or just because.. Our last day, the breakfast served to us was incomplete. We called and they said that they will send whatever is missing - which never happened. No call no nothing and when we checked out, the response we got is because they have to prepare 400+ breakfast that day. So?

Excellent Beach and facilities

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

mohammadk119 19/03/2021 TripAdvisor review

The Sofitel Zallaq is an luxurious hotel in many aspects. We went as a family and enjoyed it thoroughly. The beach is natural and of high quality. The hotel architecture and room design are excellent. The service was also outstanding. Outlets are good, but quite on the steep side of prices. Many alternative good options exist outside in Zallaq springs which is just across the road. If you have a car, Rifaa is a close drive with some excellent restaurants. Although the hotel was quite full during our stay, the restaurants were noticeably empty despite the recent opening of indoor restaurants. I would consider the exaggerated high prices of food at the hotel as the only drawback, otherwise everything else was perfect.

Dear Mr. Mohammad, We really appreciate you for taking the time to write your experience and we are delighted to know that we were able to contribute to make your stay a remarkable experience. Your compliments are really encouraging us to keep delivering genuine hospitality both in products and services to our guests. As Sofitel hotel, it is our passion that every guest leaves the hotel with a magnifique experience, and reading your review, we are pleased to note that you truly enjoyed your stay with us. Rest assured that your comments will be shared with the team. We hope to have the chance for welcoming you back. Sincerely, Guest Experience Manager

Sehr gutes Preis / Leistungs Verhältnis Super friendly Staff In general I'd suggest to raise prices and pimp everything a bit up, especially the small Island and the Sushi Place. But all in all, I'd recommend to go.
