Reviews
A five-minute walk takes you to the beach, next to a café operated by an external contractor. Unfortunately, the staff there are not particularly welcoming, and it would have been better if the management of the private beach had remained under the hotel’s direct control. Most rooms share a terrace with 5 or 6 other rooms, and the cleanliness of these shared spaces is quite poor.
The main pool is large and clean, but the salty water makes swimming and relaxing less enjoyable. Overall, considering the room rates, the hotel feels reasonably priced, though its service quality needs serious improvement.
The lobby, designed in a traditional Arabic style, houses several in-house cafés and restaurants where you can order reasonably good food.
In summary, this hotel is average and certainly not up to the standard of a true five-star property. However, for travelers seeking a budget-friendly option with nearly standard facilities, it can still be considered.
We will definitely come back 🌟

Bad
* After 17 hours flight - wrongly give a room card which already equipped and room located too far. Have to walk back to Reception.
* No complimentary mineral water.
* Everyday cannot sleep well in 3 days coz a lot of mosquito - report to Duty Manager, no action taken within 3 days. Only on 11/7 hear forging outside room early morning.
* Room bad smell need to full blast air conditioning.
Good
* Food in breakfast. Acceptable coz upgraded menu choices in 3 days stay.
The beach wasn't really 'private', only part of the sand area is private, the water was, however, open to the public from the nearby beaches.
Also, the dinner buffet was closed throughout our stay, and the restaurant food wasn't all that great and was very pricey.
The WiFi is garbage, very weak in the rooms, and nonexistent in the beach.
The staff were nice overall and helpful, and the room bathrooms weren't bad.
Lastly, the hotel had a foul, sewage-like odor of varying intensity throughout but very noticeable in the corridors.
I don't think I'll be returning here.
Consider this a 2.5 star review. Overall, it was a mediocre resort.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and unwind in a luxurious and well-managed and kind environment.
Nice view
Clean
Breakfast low quality although
