Hi, I'd be grateful for any help from you guys that know this place:
I've booked for the Marhaba Beach for July this year - really concerned that I might have booked the wrong hotel!

I've just read some reviews that have scared me a bit - but they were a bit old - so can anyone advise what the place is like these days? I've also seen the outdoor pool looks a bit small and lots of tales of needing to tip people to get sun beds here and at the beach... I'm not particularly keen on that as I've booked AI to save hassle. I'm travelling with an 8yr old and a toddler so the pool will be a big part of the holiday.

Can anyone shed any light on food? I'm hoping it's not all going to be dumbed down... was hoping to gain a bit of local flavour. I've been to Tej Marhaba years ago, remembered the food as being just brilliant so I'll be upset if it's all bloody pizza and chips!

Thanks everyone, really keen for any advice/tricks/tips you can offer.
