Second Stay This Year – Warm Staff & Beautiful Sea View
This was my second visit to Rixos Gulf within the year, and once again, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made it a truly welcoming experience. The rooms are lovely — bright, clean, and beautifully designed — and the sea view is always a treat to wake up to.
A big shoutout to the team outside who are consistently helpful, always smiling, and quick to open doors and assist with Ubers — their attentiveness really stands out.
A few things to note for improvement:
• I was surprised to see that the pool near the beach, which was previously adults-only, now includes children. While I completely understand the importance of family spaces, it did make it harder to fully relax at times. Since there are two pools, it might be worth considering keeping one dedicated to adults for a more balanced experience.
• Our room was cleaned daily during our stay, but on the day before checkout, we returned to find it hadn’t been done. We asked and it was sorted quickly, but it felt a little out of step with the otherwise consistent service. Not a huge issue, just a detail that stood out.
Lastly, while the food was enjoyable — especially at breakfast — it would be a nice touch to have themed dinner nights for more variety across the week.
Overall, still a great experience. The genuine kindness of the staff and the setting by the sea make it a memorable place to stay.
