This is our second stay here as we came for a week over Easter last year. Where to start…the hotel itself is beautiful, no attention to detail lost, it really is gorgeous, inside and out. A superb buffet breakfast set us up for the day with lots on offer and omelettes on demand-delicious! A variety of options for evening dining (we were here during Ramadan), all of which were great. I have teenage kids so they were delighted with everything from the magnificent buffet at Iftar in the opulence of the ballroom, to calamari and chips at Mint by the pool. Our compliments to the chefs!! There is a beach club which seems to have a big draw for the ex-pat community and their families. Hotel guests have access to everything and busy teenagers, when not cooking in the Kuwaiti sun, can avail of the lot (booking in the morning important). Tennis courts, table tennis, beach volleyball, 2 swimming pools, a gym for 18+ and a beautiful private beach. All you could want and more. But the crowning glory is the staff-just WOW! From the moment we arrived at reception nothing was too much trouble. Any issues with the room? Fixed. Reservations required? Done. A particular mention should be given to the beach club staff, managers, attendants and lifeguards who are all on hand to make your stay as lovely as possible. Stephen in particular deserves his own mention-was a great hit with us, and everyone we could see there, friendly, accommodating, approachable-even when it was busy-a real asset to the hotel and for me an excellent example of what it means to excel in the hospitality industry, when it is small margins that separate one from another…
