A grumpy guy at the reception. The guard tried to refuse my girlfriend to enter after dinner one day, we went in anyway. The guard came with a person from the reception, who was screaming "she must leave now". No, we came together a few days ago and we will leave together. I showed him her cloth and her passport from the safe. So instead of looking in the register in the reception the guy came to harass my girlfriend. They went away without any apology. The place is halal, so no beer or wine if you fancy that with your food. Or not liking the way the animals are killed to be halal. No animation team. Very nice and thorough cleaning staff. The beach in front is very nice. A cracked speaker during breakfast, high volume, you want to leave the place asap.

Great location but lots of noise early in the mornings from somone shouting/talking very loud nearby. A note for some that alcohol is not sold or allowed anywhere on the premises

We enjoyed our stay at your quaint hotel very much. Walking along the beach was easy. Your restaurant was good and the included breakfast was generous with eggs made on the spot. The pool was wonderful ! We wish there was more light available in the room and the bathroom.

The accomodation in small villas was very nice. The pool was adequate. The property has lovely comfortable lounge chairs and tables located conveniently around the property. You have to go down steps to the beach but at low tide it was very nice. Captain Big Fish, who was strolling around the property, arranged a fabulous sunset dhow cruise for us at a very reasonable price. A variety of restaurants are nearby along the beach. The only complaint I have is breakfast. Not great food and not much variety.

The resort itself was very nice. However the rooms were a bit unmodern, very bad lightning in bathroom, but comfy bed. Super friendly staff. But way too quiet for us, no music by pool. Food was ok, we didn’t have all inclusive. Still gives you a very authentic experience from their old school stove & grill station. Happy overall but I prefer a bit more modern and energetic place

Overall the hotel was tired and not up to date. The rooms was ok. The location was next to the beach with a nice private sunbathing area. The breakfast was not up to standard except for the egg station. Lack of fruits and always cold coffee. The Hotel should inform the guest about their non alcohol policy, was a big surprise and this tourist site! Recommens the hotel next door offered very good service, excellent food and drinks for tourists.

I had an amazing time at Smiles Beach Hotel. The staff was very attentive. The bed is HUGE. And every night around 7pm, they come in and set up the mosquito net. Many choices for breakfast and the location is superb. If you're driving, there's free parking and a bit or dirt road to get there. The only comment I have is how they use a key lock on the outside. I feel it may be a hazard...especially if someone wanted to lock you in the room.

This was a lucky pleasant finding! The staff is super friendly and attentive. The hotel location is great with private area in front of the beach, which is very convenient, compared to other properties we saw in the neighborhood. Wouldn't think twice to recommend this hotel.

The Hotel was overbooked, so we had to stay at another hotel for one night… Next day we meet up to check in to agreed time, but they were over an hour late, so we had to cancel the trip we were going to that day. If you order the stay with dinner included, you can’t choose from the regular menu. You can only choose between two dishes. Nice place and location, but the service dissapointed us.

It is muslim hotel (= no alcohol to be served), which would be ok if someone told us before, it is not written also at hotels.com web pages. The boss/manager of the hotel seems to be kinda strict and sharp to his employees, which we could often see. Otherwise nice clean hotel, friendly and polite employees. Food was normal. Not sure if cost vs.benefits is worthwhile.

The service lady checking us in was short and abrupt. She was not friendly and efficient in any engagement with her. The staff at lunch and breakfast were friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about giving good service. However, the food was average (Hilton is just a few steps away - the majority of us staying at Smiles went there for dinner). The room was comfortable. The door did not close all the way and the safety box was broken. Overall, it was a comfortable stay for one night (not sure I would want to stay longer). And Hotels.com does not tell you this is a Muslim hotel that does not separate practice from the business so they do not offer any alcohol (just be aware as this would have changed a few peoples decision to stay).

Hotel is more like a 2 star. Old and not well kept. Breakfast was horrible had to go next door to the Hilton to enjoy at least a fresh brewed coffee You would expect brewed fresh coffee even from a 2 star hotel. That did not exist and had to use instant coffee in a pack which I could have done that in my room. I rarely submit reviews but this hotel fooled me and I would have spent little more money and stayed elsewhere.

Place is OK. Nothing great at all, but clean. The beach is terrible and should not be highlighted in the description. I booked this because I thought I could go on the beach and in the water, but for hours the tide exposes the ocean floor and makes the water useless. When it comes in, you have no real beach and the water area is not great to swimming. The place also has no alcohol. The restaurant is very basic and nothing special at all. Nice place to do nothing and relax on a lounge chair, but that is it.

There was no hot water, the "sea view" was there if you sat at the right angle looking out the windows. Was not a huge fan of house keeping spraying for mosquitoes... god only knows what they sprayed. But overall it is an up and coming beautiful location that is under new management. Worth a stay.
