Great stay overall

My stay was great. The facilities and the staff were really nice. One small issue I faced was that the TV was not working in my room but the hotel service team was cooperative and replaced it as soon as I informed them.

Great place for beach holiday

The hotel has everything needed for perfect beach stay. The rooms are located in small houses on the beach. Rooms are simple but well maintained and have everything needed. Beach is equipped with sun beds and umbrellas, there’s a swimming pool. Snoopy island with beautiful sea life is easily accessible if you can swim. Make sure to take your snorkel mask with you.

Great value for weekend with family

Great location and facilities. Everything is accessible quickly and easily by car then walking (even with kids). Only improvements would be the service time at the restaurant and more choices in menus.

A relaxing weekend away from Dubai

We come here regularly, we love the atmosphere. You have everything you could want from a beach resort without the crowds, concrete blocks, industrial-scale catering and long carpeted corridors. The setting is amazing, you are always outside, the food is great (the choices are expanding but the original dishes are still on the menu). The new and renovated rooms are very comfortable and clean and even the older ones are clean, they are just a bit dated.
