A fairy tale from 1001 night *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

According to Christine the general Al bustan-and this will not be the last time.
It is simply a dream. Will the reorganisation of the mythical lost. Now restored the 38M high lobby with dome in gold, beige and brown, really great, but I liked the blue tiles before.
Otherwise it only to positive changes. The newly designed garden with over 400 palm trees, the four pools with brick water lagoons, the infinity pool (all pools with square Palmenbehältern), the beach-great.
You get a cooler with batteries, water, cold cloths and face spray. Beach chairs were fortunately not occupied-is probably the clientele.
Every day, the complex of several gardeners maintained. The whole house is lightning clean.
The staff was always very friendly and competent. Our AC at night as opportunities, was repaired within ten minutes.
It was only in the August Khiran and the fish restaurant open Al. Breakfast was missing there at nothing, special wishes were immediately fulfilled (eggs Benedict for example). I have never had such a good bircher muesli-and then by e-mail get the recipe (Merci Jean-Luc)! Evenings there was no buffet offered, since the hotel occupancy was (thankfully) very low, therefor but a three course menu or a la carte. The quality, the atmosphere and furnishings are of the highest quality.
Can the middle Shangri-La food or in a restaurant in muttrah or qurum drive. Car is recommended.
Those, which have such a great hotel, should stay away, the also nothing lost.
We enjoyed the Al bustan-many thanks to the management and staff. Shukran-Masa Lama!
