During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Sai Eden Roc. From a la carte chicken to various buffet options, the meals were always delicious. The staff were very accommodating and even prepared special requests upon asking. It was a culinary delight every meal!

Comfortable and Cozy Rooms

I found the standard room I stayed in to be quite comfortable. It had a nice safe deposit box and the air conditioner worked well despite being older. I felt safe and relaxed in my room, which made my vacation all the more enjoyable.

Lovely Pool Areas

The hotel features multiple pool areas which are perfect for relaxation. I loved spending time by the main pool at the Dhow Grill, enjoying the atmosphere. The enclosed environment with plenty of sunbeds made it a good retreat after a day of exploring.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, especially with its perfect location that offers direct access to a private beach and multiple pools. The rooms were clean and spacious, but they could definitely use some upgrades to feel more modern. The friendly staff made my experience even better, though the dining options were limited for breakfast, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it's a good deal for the price, but there's definitely room for improvement in some areas.

I had a decent time at the hotel overall. The rooms were quite average and could definitely use an upgrade; we even ended up with three single beds instead of the double room we booked. On the upside, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a suite at the price of a standard room. The location was absolutely perfect, with a private beach and multiple pools. However, some aspects of the service left a bit to be desired.
