5 out of 5

Lovely hotel with great facilities

Pros: Lots of space and variety of food available. Not just buffet!
Cons: The hotel was busy for half term and they coped really well!
Location: The hotel is close to the Grand Mosque and there are lots of malls in easy taxi ride.
Staff were very welcoming and hotel has great facilities, especially for children. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from, a lovely kids club, a huge pool and nice beach. Rooms were very comfortable and plenty of room. I will definitely return!
