I loved the possibility to walk along the jetty where we can enjoy the breeze and beautiful sunsets. The seafood restaurant with Yemeni specialities and the Italian restaurant were great options while the buffet was very convenient. The ability to organize excursions with the assistance of the concierge was much appreciated.

A gorgeous Arabic-influenced palace, with spa services and nice pools facing the sea, supported by friendly and attentive staff. Overall still overpriced for what it offers. The Italian restaurant is great but the other main one was under renovation; great international tv channel selection; would have enjoyed a morning newspaper and a room service menu in the room. On the way to become a 5 star hotel for sure, but except the price, not there yet. It surely will be with time. Overall a very pleasant and memorable stay, but a notch too expensive.
