Almar Timi Ama Resort & Spa

Für ein 5-Sterne-Hotel hätten wir mehr erwartet. Der Boden um die Poolbar herum sah durch alte Flecken der Datteln aus den Palmen immer dreckig aus. Für den gezahlten Preis hätte ich zumindest die Softgetränke im Zimmer kostenlos erwartet, statt satte 6 Euro dafür zu verlangen. Überhaut sind die Preise viel zu hoch. Ein Cocktail, der im Martiniglas serviert wurde, kostete 18 Euro! Abendessenbuffet pro Person 65 Euro OHNE Getränke, viel zu viel, da könnten wenigstens Softgetränke und vielleicht ein Tischwein inkludiert sein. Frühstück war jeden Morgen das selbe Angebot. Hier kennen wir es auch aus 4-Sterne-Hotels, dass es auch z.B. 1 Glas Prosecco zur Selbstbedienung gibt - hier leider nicht. Das Abendprogramm (Musik) war immer zu laut für den kleinen Bereich und die Anzahl der anwesenden Gäste. Im Zimmer haben uns Haken zum auslüften getragener Kleidung gefehlt, auch auf dem Balkon wäre eine Schnur oder ein Wäscheständer für die nasse Badekleidung schön gewesen. Sogar in unserem jetzigen 4-Sterne-Hotel gibt es einen kleinen Wäscheständer auf dem Balkon! Wir werden leider nicht noch einmal kommen.

This hotel truly has something for everyone—whether you're a family with kids, a couple, or even traveling solo, there are thoughtfully designed activities to keep you entertained and relaxed. And the beach? Simply breathtaking with crystal-clear water, soft sand, and the most stunning sunsets. Thank you for such a magical holiday.

It is truly perplexing how this hotel is rated as a 5-star establishment. Based on our recent stay, it falls far short of luxury and, at best, should be considered a 3-star hotel. While the bedrooms and bathrooms were indeed very clean, the overall quality of the furniture and bathroom fittings was severely lacking. We consistently felt like we were staying at a basic Premier Inn, which is certainly not the expectation for a supposedly high-end hotel. Furthermore, our arrival was met with an underwhelming lack of hospitality – there was no greeting whatsoever, which set a rather cold tone for the beginning of our stay. This in itself is a basic expectation, regardless of star rating, and was noticeably absent. The breakfast offering also contributed to our disappointment. The quality of the food was basic and not at all what one would expect from a 5-star establishment. Adding to this, the attire of some other guests was inappropriate, with some young men roaming around shirtless, which we found really distasteful and not conducive to a 5 star resort it claims it is. Upon entering the lobby, it felt more like walking into an office building rather than a "5-star hotel." The building and decor in the lobby appear to be stuck in the late 1980s, although we could see an effort had been made to update the outdoor furniture. Even the hotel gym, despite having high-end equipment, had an awful smell that made it unusable. We had intended to use the facilities but simply could not stand the odor. Overall, the experience was profoundly confusing given the advertised rating, and we left feeling quite disappointed by the disparity between.
