Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers amazing, comfortable, and cozy rooms with an authentic Arabic touch, although the price might not be fully justified. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, making you feel like you have a personal tour guide. The location is breathtaking, with beautiful surroundings leading down to the sea. The dining experience is great, with multiple varieties and excellent service, creating a feast for the senses.
The hotel offers a convenient location right by the seaside, allowing for a secluded yet socializing experience. The rooms provide easy access to a shallow pool and are spacious, but noise from bathrooms and neighboring families can disrupt sleep at times. The service is friendly and accommodating, with some instances of not fully addressing issues. Dining options are enjoyable with a beautiful view, and the facilities are well-maintained.
I had an amazing time at the hotel! The rooms were modern, well-appointed, and so comfortable. Being able to jump into the water from the room was a unique experience. The service was top-notch with staff always courteous and welcoming. The location was excellent with stunning views of the sea and mountains. The dining experience was unforgettable, making my stay truly luxurious.
