La Siesta Hotel & Beach Resort

Exzellenter Service und wundervolle Behandlung

We stayed at a pool facing duplex at this 4 star hotel in Khaldeh, Lebanon, this past summer (2023). We paid $450 per night. Overall, the view from my room was great and the overall service was acceptable. However, my friends, who came around the same time and stayed in a 5-star hotel in Beirut, paid around the same price I paid for this 4-star hotel. Positive things include the nice view, the quality of the food, and the politeness of the staff. On the negative side, my $450/night room did NOT have a shower curtain (the bathroom turned into a swimming pool whenever we took a shower) and the lack of a safe in the room. I asked about the shower curtain and I was told that all duplex rooms have the same problem because the bathrooms are too small. I was advised to go shower in the public shower (instead of my $450/night room) if I am annoyed by this situation. The food at their restaurant was very good. I (and my family) used the restaurant heavily during my stay. I even invited my family one night with a bill (including tips) north of $700. We always generously tipped all the workers. However, whenever I called for a service from the restaurant I was "pennied and dimmed" about the little things. The resort itself is clean and well maintained however the surrounding area, until you reach the entrance, is rough and ghettoish. I personally would go back to that hotel/resort but I don't think my wife would approve that.

Well I went to Lebanon for a visit after being away for over 16 years and wanted to enjoy my vacation and my family there!! This hotel made it a HELL of a visit! Some stuff were extremely rude and unfriendly! Wasn't allowed to bring my own home made food cooked by my family! Fruits were denied!! I felt like I am prisoned!! Too much unnecessary rules! I used to argue with the staff in order to get clean towels!! Besides, they made me feel ashamed when one of the securities tried to charge my sister in order to come for a short visit and she was bringing some fruits with her as a gift and they kept it at the front desk and didn't allowed her to take it up to my room! Furthermore, you can hear easily the other guest in other rooms and some they were loud partying until 4:30am!!Overall, they ruined my vacation!!

the place is very unorganized. i had to ask to get my room cleaned. there was no towels in the room when I walked in. The WIFI service was terrible. Nobody answers the phone. the staff were helpful but too busy. there are no signs anywhere around the property to guide the guests.

Great place to stay while on the move, especially if you have friends nearby. The rooms were very clean and the balcony spacious. I also really enjoyed the attached spa that is run independently. Only real downside is that there are no safes in the rooms.

We visited la Siesta resort during July 2023 on a weekend, it was super busy house and full. We took duplex chalet, it is amazing for a family, and relaxing interior. Try to book during weekdays is better to avoid slow service on weekends. I wish if they could provide safe boxes in the rooms, we had to take our personal belongings with us to the pool and beach.

I believe the staff and the management needs more training and education about diversity and how to respect guests from different backgrounds, I stayed in this resort for 2 days with my wife who is wearing hijab and they didn't allow her to get in the pool as we learned that they did have a policy that you cannot swim with Burkini even though it is an official swimwear in the most European countries and even in the US.( and they didn't allow us to cancel and refund the 2nd day). on the Second day we were laying down around the pool and my wife was wearing a pool dress and a guy asked for my wife to leave as they don't allow clothes around the pool even though there was another person with a dress but without hijab but it was okay for them ,which is clearly not a policy and cannot be applied in any pool in the world So I asked him to call his manager which was very ignorant and don't know his own rules and made fool of himself and left without proving a point or apologizing, this was clearly a discrimination. last day on the check out the receptionist called the manager and she tried to prove that it is a policy but she couldn't either and started apologizing for their behavior after ruined 2 days out of 4 days vacation and they are not willing to change this Burkini policy or their behavior. Other than that I think the property landscape and location is very unique and nice but needs a better management or just put a policy that "WE DON'T ALLOW HIJAB"

Horrible experience. Rooms were not ready and dirty. Zero amenities and especially not family friendly. They give you a kettle but no tea or coffee despite their promises to deliver some. You get served tea in the Restuarant in paper cups. We arrived at 9pm way past the regular check-in time and were shocked to find the rooms not ready. We even found a mop and other cleaning materials in the room. When we complained, we were told that we should have told them we are coming!!! They already confirmed the booking, took the money and sent us emails. Wondering how they managed to get an 8/10 rating, which made us book here. This is one to avoid at all costs. I wonder why ********** did not inform their property manager as we put in a review immediately. Not one person came to speak to us.
