"Restaurants and bars were excellent. Sunday brunch buffet was mind blowing. Breakfast buffet was great. Music was fabulous every night. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Beautiful location on the ocean. Short walk to the mall. Nice to walk along the Corniche for views and exercise (very safe) "
"New and modern, best choice in the area. The room is quite comfortable. Shuttle bus to and from airport is available. Limited choice for breakfast though."
"Very nice new hotel. Felt more like 5 and not 3 stars. Very nice staff, good breakfast. We liked it very much. Only issue was that at the departure the credit card reader didn’t work and we needed to pay cash for some extras. But I’m sure that if we didn’t have cash, they would have found a solution. "
