The hotel offers very nice and spacious rooms, some with a bathtub, but they were not as luxurious as others in the region. I found the charge of BD3.500 a bit on the high side. The room was very cold during my stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were average and not up to a 5-star standard. I was initially offered a smoking room, which wasn't ideal, and was slightly inconvenient when cleaners came early in the morning to clean. On the bright side, the service was exceptional with friendly staff, especially a big thank you to Miss Ruth for accommodating my early check-in request and providing a room with a bath. However, the dining experience, although varied, seemed to have slow made-to-order options. The location was excellent, with a huge outdoor pool and easy access to many restaurants and pubs.
