Excellent hotel. Beautiful spacious room with an amazing view of the mosque across the water. Enjoyed the beach and the pool. The restaurants were all excellent. The only complaint was the check in. We arrived before 3 pm and the room was not available until about 3:15 pm.
The room service was very bad. When I called to request service, they were late. When I called them again, they got angry.
And The bed very bad and uncomfortable.
