On a small hill very nice location, including the private bay with sandy beach is, over a staircase. As we were there, a few were at the beach, the most were at the pool, well, we had a fantastic peace down there. The tide comes around noon and the sea itself was spacious back, you can walk lovely. Shiraz Persian restaurant was for us the outstanding! Only a shame, that it throughout the hotel no shisha is, as is simply the Orient. You must walk about 15 minutes to go to the Corniche... Room are absolutely in order, breakfast was very rich. ... Read more

The location on the sea with private bay is certainly the biggest advantage of the hotel, also to city it is not far. The hotel itself is architecturally none beauty, the room (club room!) are rather small and carelessly decorated, the bathrooms are also in the years come and the air conditioning was already under dimensioned...
Breakfast buffet was OK, and the pool was very well maintained and the furnishings well equipped.
Overall OK, but not convincing enough for a renewed reservation. Read more

We can recommend this hotel as a base for the city inspection of nutmeg. Is located in a very quiet area located in the diplomatic quarter and has a nice pool and a small, but fine beach. Less than five minutes drive away are several large shopping opportunities. To the airport and the city center are only about 20 minutes depending on it with the car. Read more

This is rather curious since the government working hours are until 2:30pm so when one returns to the hotel, having no food available, apart from some limited room service options, is not what I had expected from a hotel like the CP.
