We had an amazing time at the Ancient Sands hotel. The facilities were amazing, great pools, good restaurant and very easy to move around from the hotel to the city center. The hotel provides you shuttle to and from the city center and they have an exclusive beach only for who is staying at the hotel. The breakfast is also delicious!

Nice family stay
The hotel is cozy and had a lot of Christmas themed activities and complimentary drinks & snacks. Apartments are clean and nice, though every one is different than the other but all of them are nice. Breakfast was also good. Staff were exceptional.
