This is a rather new and very nice high-rise hotel with a nice pool area and a small beach opening onto a lagoon. Rooms are very spacious and nicely furnished and have balconies. Check-in was very efficient, friendly and helpful, as was all the staff except for the waiters at breakfast which were rather surly and mainly occupied with chatting together. Fitness center is large and staff helpful. My room (looking towards the southwest) looked onto a construction site and there was some noise from that construction site during the day. This will continue for some more time. … read more

Interior stern and solemn, quite rich. Staff welcoming and friendly. Food quality, good choice, given that this is a 5 star hotel Islamic (no pork or alcohol). But for those who want next is a special alcoholic shop. Excursions complete, highly professional guides. There was nothing that could spoil our trip. Thanks to management and staff.
