I liked that the hotel offered a magnificent setting. it blended traditional arabic architecture with contemporary luxury. the rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated. The facilities are perfect. chef ahmed ibrahim and his team demonstrated genuine culinary expertise in the restaurants.
The quality of service deteriorated. we had to wait about an hour to check the spa facilities. we were informed the spa area is 16+, even though we have a 9yo daughter. the hotel WAS crowded. For coffee at breakfast we had to ask multiple times.
