Hi Ron,

I take it you've seen the reports on TA here

It doesn't appear to be a "very loved" hotel does it?

we are only goign for the diving and to tell the truth i always take reports on the web with a pinch of salt. I would love to find out if anyone has stayed there as the place as been developed this year.

My one reservation is how close it is the airport, you can walk to the hotel.

Well we got back from this hotel last week and now that i have caught up with work i have time to post a review:-

Domina Gardenia Plaza
I had read the reviews on another site and I would say that they are a little wrong, firstly im a fan of AI but as we went out here for the diving we never spent much time around the pool until the last day.

First impressions:- The place close to the air port in fact you could see the planes parked outside the terminal, this had be thinking that I would not get any sleep, while again I was wrong you hardly noticed the planes coming in or out. (7 out 10)

Cleanliness:- The place was clean, we did not see any of the things people where talking about. (8-9 out 10)

Safety:- Now this place as lots of manhole covers around the place and the cement fixings around the outside have broken away, some are down right dangerous. (2 out 10)

Food:- This was not that good we had no idea what was on the hot plate, n little signs that I have seen elsewhere and it was not that good, a great location to slim. (3 out 10)

Anything Else:-
One bug bear I had was with that this place was full of Russians, they are the most ill mannered people I have ever come across, the place was full of them, they treated the staff like sh*t.

Would I go back, Not really unless I got the place for £100 for a week. It suited us and we never had any big problems in fact they fixed the AC when we asked just as well as it was very hot.

Hotel overall: (6 out 10)
