My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable, especially with the beautiful lagoon right outside my room. The rooms were spacious and overall, the facilities were great, making it a comfortable choice. However, I did find some areas for improvement, like the lack of proper places to hang up towels and swimsuits. The staff were incredibly friendly and made my experience special.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated just far enough from the hustle of the city to offer a relaxing retreat while still being a short taxi ride away from major attractions. The staff here were incredibly friendly and genuinely happy to help, making my experience even more enjoyable. My room was spacious and clean, providing great comfort. However, I found the service at times lacking in guidance, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially considering the lovely amenities.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable with lovely big windows, and the location is truly special surrounded by magnificent views of the sea and mountains. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made my experience even better. However, there was quite a bit of noise from moving furniture in other rooms during the night, which was a bit annoying. Overall, it’s a clean and beautiful place but the noise definitely affected my sleep.

The rooms were mostly clean and very cozy, but I had a better experience in the suite, which was much cleaner. Service was friendly overall, though I did feel a bit rushed at times in the restaurant.

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, just about 10 minutes by car from the Muttrah Souq and the Old Town, which really made my stay special. The rooms were pleasant but a bit small for luggage, and I did notice it got quite humid with the balcony open.
