Firstly, if you stayed here a few years ago (as we did), you would be very pleasantly surprised with the improvement. The hotel now compares very well with the 4/5* places at Marjan Island and Al Hamra, where we have stayed in the past. Heated infinity pool, spa, gym, 3 restaurants (different cuisines), as well as a beachside bar. Good venue for weekend parties. We had a spacious room, very comfortable bed, very efficient housekeeping: the only improvement could be a walk in shower, rather than the awkward shower over bath arrangement. Complimentary large bottles of water daily, fridge, and a drinks store on site. Bringing your own drinks to your room or terrace could also cut the costs considerably. Highly recommended and we will return.
