Food - Pathetic Room - Excellent Very scenic Looks like an old haunted house.No one to attend at the pool.V stylish but of what use? V expensive for the money

Hashmat, United Arab Emirates

The staff are very friendly but do tend to disappear into the kitchen and then you may need more coffee or water or whatever and you need to wait for them to come out again before you can ask for something. The evening meal was particularly tasty I had lamb shank and it fell off the bone, the jus was amazing.....

Pamela, South Africa

This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. Very well located with delightful rooms and a highly efficient and helpful staff. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Everything about the hotel appealed to us and we hope some day to go back and spend longer.

눉You could hear the road a bit as its not far from the main road. The room is also not dark enough there are lights from the bottom near the pool that shine through the curtains at night.
눇The staff are very friendly but do tend to disappear into the kitchen and then you may need more coffee or water or whatever and you need to wait for them to come out again before you can ask for something. The evening meal was particularly tasty I had lamb shank and it fell off the bone, the jus was amazing.....
