8/10 Very good
22 Apr 2023
Great place to relax
Great escape from the daily life. Beautiful hotel, nice structure, very cool pool area. Beach is small but cozy. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. You feel welcome there. The only turn down would be the food/drink service at the pool. Not a lot of options, staff not really interested in getting your order.
And last but not least, there’s not alcoholic drinks.
The hotel is in a very nice location, close to the Corniche. And there’s a Careem bike station right in front of the hotel (very useful).

2/10 Poor
21 Jul 2020
I left a clothing item in my room. I realized about 5 hours after checking out and called the property. They eventually got back to me and said the cleaners were not able to find the item. So that says a lot. For sure I left the item there.
The checkin and overall customer service was below standards for a 5 star hotel. For sure will not be returning there. Not worth it.
