👳🏾♂️ Salem's Take: The Smart Choice
Let me be straight with you. Long Beach Resort is where I send friends who want a proper holiday without selling a kidney. It's not the newest. It's not trying to be Instagram-fancy. But here's the thing — the gardens are unbelievable. We're talking 35+ acres of palm trees, flowers, and green lawns that make you forget you're in the desert.
The beach? Private, sandy, and actually clean. The buffet? Surprisingly good for the price. Is it perfect? No. But for €75-90 per night all-inclusive? It's genuinely hard to beat.

What Makes Long Beach Special?
The Gardens
I've been to resorts with "gardens" that are three sad palm trees. Long Beach has actual botanical garden vibes. Walking paths, shaded areas, peacocks wandering around. It's genuinely beautiful.
The Beach
Wide, sandy, and well-maintained. Free sunbeds. The reef isn't great for snorkeling, but for swimming and relaxing? Perfect for families with small kids.
The Value
Quality buffet food, decent drinks, beautiful grounds — at 4-star prices. You're not paying for a brand name. You're paying for an actual holiday.

⚠️ The Reality
- Rooms are basic — functional, not luxurious
