Well what to say, we had a day off and decided to spend it at the Radisson Blu hotel which recently opened its doors, it has been earlier a Marriot property & has never been really super in many aspects, however it is now. A bit of let down was that we could not buy a day ticket for the pool, but we then spend the day at the poolside with drinks and food, which was nice too, certainly a dip at pool would have been even better. Pool side lunch was tasty with a nice prawn cocktail and a really quality Pizza, clearly can see the manager is Italian here, likely the best pizza we ever had, the drinks had been tasty too. The staff was very friendly and took much care of us, it was not very busy till the Iftar buffet was starting and a large crowd of people came to break the fast, so we decided to join them till we heard the price. Honestly speaking we felt 60 USD is quite expensive so we was taken around the buffet before itself, while looking at the first few meters over the buffet it was clear that we get spoiled here today. We are 4 friends from Austria, England, Argentina & Canada, we really have not seen any buffet the last 10 years as such anywhere in Africa. Holly molly what a selection, the set up and the location as well, just wow. The price tag included also some juices & tea, you get a lot of value for your money, we sat 2.5 hours at the dinner & we are still full till today :-). Chef David the Executive chef is from Germany a nice fellow, he explained us some of the dishes & we had great chat together, he told us that the place will soon be a top notch steakhouse concept, he promised us with meat cuts form all over the world, one more reason to be back soon. Respect to the General Manager for turning this property into a really luxury place now.
