Absolutely stunning and probably one of the best hotels we’ve ever stopped in. Absolutely everything is just perfect. All of the staff are just there for you and help make the experience feel special but the accommodation, facilities, housekeeping, pool, restaurants and everything else are just perfection. This place is an absolute jewel!

I stay at the resort from 19 DEC to 22 DEC 2024 in room 417. The resort is below expectations, too much housefly in the resort, the balcony of my room was full of dust, the adult pool's toilet is full of sewage smell. We went to one of the hotel resturants, they said oh sorry we are fully booked and they chose a table not next to the sea, but we spend about 2 hours in the resturant and it was very empty. Too much time to check-in. No one explore the resort facility. The food is normal and not delicious. In general the hotel is good when you find the price 600$ to 800$ per night, if your budget higher, you find much better options in Dubai. I booked the hotel because it is under LHW, but they miss some of the LHW touches, it is not about the building and the space, it is about the feeling of the LHW high level touch. My first time ever i found a dust in my room and I have report it but still same and no one clean it, this is what i mean by LHW touch. Read less
