    Would return with our families

    The breakfast: multiple items in the buffet felt low quality, overcooked or excessively sugary (shakshuka felt way overdone, some peas and mushroom dish felt like it was from frozen veggies and also overcooked, coffee was just ok). So it's not ideal for someone looking for a healthy breakfast. We were both disappointed. It also felt that at the Arabic restaurant, they didn't have enough staff for the rush because we sat down with one napkin and didn't get served water until like after 15 minutes after sitting down, but the staff themselves, although seemingly overworked, were gracious and accommodating.

    The facilities are excellent for families. It's great for people living in Doha with babies, for example, because it's a quick getaway. I especially liked our duty manager Taufiq and one of the waitresses at the American diner named Chit Su who were both very gracious. The room was good although if you're sensitive to light, come with a sleeping mask because it doesn't go fully dark. Dinner at the Arabic restaurant was very tasty.

    Check in and checkout time. Price is too high. Sometimes, unexpected errors happen, but overall is a great place.

    It is the ideal hotel for all type of travelers, especially couples. They take care of you from A to Z.

    No entertainment. Would not recommend anyone to stay more then 2 days. Would get boring. After 7 o clock it's sleeping time. I am on holiday need the island to be more entertaining.

    First of all before I state why I have not rated a 10 stars I would like to say a big thanks to the following people for their hospitality and kindness. If it wasn't for these people it would have been zero stars. Shahed. Zubayer. Ronald. Osama. Noroshana.A great thanks to the bengali guy that works at the port. What a guy made experience amazing before I got to the island. His abit in the older side.

    Limited boat shuttle schedule No proper information about boat shuttles and the need for prior booking, u end up feeling imprisoned I called the resort before booking and they said they can provide a boat if we need outside the schedule but when we requested for that they started giving all the excused about the difficulty of doing that Staff are not able to understand what is “time” buttler is always late when we request for golf car, and he argues about it Naham restaurant reception lady is not welcoming and we had to wait for 30 mins for one nice waiter to come and take our orders

    The gym was too small and didn't have much equipment. It was easy to get lost when walking around the resort.

    It is the most beautiful resort I have ever stayed in. Everything about my room was amazing, the food was lovely, and the beach was so peaceful. I will definitely be returning again and recommending to others.

    They lack a lot of water activities, so it is not possible to stay for more than two days,and i don't feel generous during your stay,it is good to put every day some fruits for the guests, and small things must not be expensive

    A good place for relaxation, and the staff was good

    Restaurant should be opened until med night

    All palm trees need to be cleaned. Their current appearance is not beautiful. Also, the barriers covering the sea must be removed, as it prevents its viewing, whether in the villa or the restaurant.
