We stayed at the Raouf Hotel in April for 11 days and it was a very bad experience. The hotel is in no way a "5 star" hotel, more like a "2 star". The hotel ran out of food several times, plates and silverwear as well as beach towels and sun tanning space at the beach. They over booked the hotel by about 20% and, needless to say, the lines to get anything where very long with several people loosing their temper. Breakfast, lunch and dinner lines where not only long but completely crazy, people would push you out of the way to get plates and or food so they could get something to eat incase they ran out of food again. If you did not get to eat at the beginning of the meal you had to wait for a table. When you got a table it would be covered in dirty dishes by the people who just left. The hotel is staffed by extremely rude Muslims, who seem to be there to hit on women, and they do not take well to anybody giving then orders so getting a table cleaned was not an easy task. I asked for my table to be cleaned at least 5 times and the bus boy would simply turn and walk away, at first I thought he was going to go get a towel to wipe down the table after he cleared it, but he never came back.
Find someplace else to stay. The people we talked to at the airport as we left all had great experiences and could not believe what we went through. Stay anywhere but at the Raouf Hotel! ! ! !
