The hotel is beautiful with a glamorous lobby and cozy room. Bathroom is clean and spacious. Huge pool and beach. Nothing to complain. The only thing we didn't like is the location. There is nothing within walking distance.

The staff was beyond curtious. They always opened the doors, Uber doors too, with a smile! Refreshing cold towel and drink upon arrival. Pool was beautiful. And very close to the grand mosque. Hot to walk during the day. But doable once the sun goes down!

Great hotel for the Grand Mosque but not a lot more within walking distance. Staff went over and beyond to help with anything. Would have liked a room overlooking the mosque as I had asked for a good room but ours looked over the pool and gardens which was still nice
