The hotel had its ups and downs. The room was tiny for a king-size bed and faced a nearby street under maintenance, making it noisy until early morning, especially considering the amount paid. On the bright side, the service was very helpful and committed, with a warm and welcoming staff. The location was amazing, offering a quiet sea view that was simply a must. The dining experience was exceptional, with a rich and diverse selection, although slightly on the expensive side.

I must say the hotel has its highs and lows. The rooms, although luxurious, felt a bit small for a 5-star establishment. On the bright side, the ground-floor location was convenient. The service was truly sensational but lacked skill in some areas. The location was splendid, especially for beach lovers and both business and leisure travelers. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with superb dishes but at a high price. Overall, a stay with mixed feelings.

The hotel has a great combination of being next to the pools as well as the serene Arabian Gulf Sea. The rooms are clean, with elegant lobby, and I would definitely come back.
