I have stayed at both the Phoenician and the Four Seasons and one trip to the Phoenician was enough.
The service at the Phoenician was well below that of the Four Seasons. In particular, housekeeping was not at a first class standard.
While the Phoenician had the best restaurant in the area, the chef has since left.
I've stayed at the Four Seasons five times in the past two years, the last being in September. It is without question a luxury property with superb rooms and a staff that is highly efficient and courteous.
