we have stayed here many times. It is close to the beach and the restaurant in the lobby is good, although the service at this restaurant is not really up to par. It is not uncommon to stand at the bar area (not used as a bar) and to be ignored for extended time. English speaking staff are very limited at this hotel which can make communication somewhat difficult. We were here when the first sirens rang out at 3 AM during the mission to destroy the nuclear capacity of Iran. We ended up in the stairway, but there was no official hotel communication in English so we went with the flow of others. The pool is quite nice however and as a swimmer, I did get in a couple mile-swims during my stay. The pros and cons add up to a positive review overall and I will likely stay here again. It is sad however to see so much trash while walking to and on the beach. There must be some community groups, scouts, etc. that might want to take on the project of getting things cleaned up and beautify the walkways to the beach and the shoreline itself. P.S. Watch out for Jellyfish
