Maximus Hotel Byblos

I rarely write reviews unless it’s truly an experience not to be missed. I first discovered Maximus Hotel in 2021 during our honeymoon, and despite the challenges at the time, the hotel delivered a splendid stay. Four years later, we decided to return to this 5-star gem to relive that special memory—and it exceeded all our expectations. The cleanliness, attentiveness, professionalism, and overall value are unmatched. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel unique and appreciated. At the pool, Hend personally remade our drinks when we didn’t like the first ones—her kindness and care didn’t go unnoticed. We also booked the BBQ night and, while we were initially hesitant due to having our toddler with us, the evening turned out to be peaceful and elegant. The band played soft, soothing music, and the live cooking stations were a highlight, with staff eagerly encouraging us to try different dishes and explaining each one in detail. Hend came by during dinner to check on us and even asked how our toddler was doing—her genuine attentiveness made a big impression. Kevin also provided excellent service at our table, ensuring everything was smooth and enjoyable. At the dessert station, a lovely lady recommended the tiramisu, and I’m so glad I followed her advice—it was absolutely delicious. At breakfast, we were warmly welcomed by Paul and Andy, who were incredibly thoughtful and attentive to our toddler’s needs. Chef Paul went above and beyond, preparing unique dishes that made us feel truly special—he reminded us that luxury isn’t about fame but about heart and hospitality. A special shoutout to the manager, whose name we unfortunately didn’t catch, but who passed by several times during our stay to ask if everything was okay and if we needed anything—his presence and attention made a real difference. Also, a big thank-you to the reception team, who were friendly, efficient, and made the check-in and check-out experience seamless. In the end, it’s not the décor or the price that makes a place unforgettable—it’s the people behind it. The team at Maximus made our stay feel like home, and for that, we’re deeply grateful.

First of all let’s start with the room, they’ve told us it’s sea view but it was like a prison with no view at all because they’ve installed a plastic tent to cover the pool in front of the room, and it was more expensive then the standard one. In addition instead of using one single king bed, they’ve combined two single beds “trying” to create a single king one which was uncomfortable. Also we already booked for two nights and was paid on arrival but the second day they called and told that we’ve paid for just one night. It was a bad experience however, the hotel’s restaurant staff were friendly and professional.

Very nice and very clean hotel. Friendly staff, great location, highly recommended. The view is amazing, the gym is well equipped, a very rich breakfast, and the room was very clean. Great experience
