Another lovely stay at Club E. Regular staff were all great, especially Fharti and Fatima, they were both welcoming and friendly. We made use of the pool bar every day and enjoyed really nice lunches made by Fatima. Fharti the pool barman was attentive and remembered our names and orders and really is the heart and soul of Club E, long may he remain there! Having stayed last year there was a marked deterioration in the frequency and standard of cleaning. The existing staff seemed to be quite thinly stretched and there was a distinct lack of a cleaning team. It appeared to be an all hands to the pump approach by already busy staff. The young men who seemed to have been tasked with cleaning the rooms clearly did not want to be doing it and did the bare minimum. We had to ask for a change of bedding and our room was cleaned only once during the 7 night stay. Bins were emptied daily and clean towels were left on the unmade beds. The pool area was fabulous and bar area was very well kept, as were most of the gardens. As most of the flights seem to be evenings and the checkout is 12 noon it would have been nice to have an area to change. The little wooden hut down by the pool was sadly very dirty and not fit for purpose. We used the pool shower before we left for our very late evening flight but the use of another facility would be nice. Having said this, Club E is a lovely hotel and we will be returning next year, when we would hope that the cleaning team will have been restored to its previous high standard.
