“The panini and chips were tasty, and the pool attendant was helpful and friendly.”

6.5Verified guest

“This is a strictly Muslim hotel with strong Islamic practices. I had to book another room for my husband. The hotel is very dirty, and we only had warm water in one room. Staff were offensive to non-Muslims. Although I am Muslim, I cannot accept this treatment in an international hotel. We cancelled after one night.”

6.5Verified guest

“Our room was really beautiful, nicely decorated and looked very new. The pool area was also nice and clean, and it's close to the surfing clubs at the beach.”
