Lovely hotel and stay, food was amazing and such a choice

Excellent service, lovely location and surroundings

Spa did not accommodate men and women together in the jacuzzi. I appreciate the culture but this is a hotel and not for residents of the country entirely. Staff level of English was mixed

Amazing stay! Can't wait to be back!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Everybody was so professional and kind, from staff from the reception, bar, restaurant, beach to service .. everybody! And food? Amazing! Selection of food was crazy! We did not know what to choose! Everything, I mean everything was so delicious and good looking. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was speechless! We enjoyed in every bite we had! Private beach and the service from the beach was exceptional! And for me, the most amazing were sunsets from my room and the view! I miss the view already! Honestly I can't wait to be back! Shangri-La, you did a great job! Well done!

We’d be happy to return to this traditional hotel

The location was central and good for the Grand Mosque in particular. We had garden rooms which were lovely, with a private terrace and view of the beach and beyond. The infinity pool was great and the pool area very relaxed. We had coffee and croissant there instead of a full breakfast. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

A little updating would make the rooms even more attractive.

To sum up this hotel I was there last month and I’m booked to return next month.

The property was beautiful, very luxurious. The Christmas decorations were stunning. The food was gorgeous, there was so much choice. The staff were extremely polite.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

It was excellent 🙂

The property was excellent with a private beach and lot of things to do in the hotel

The food options had very less vegetarian options. The breakfast had literally 2-3 varieties that a vegetarian can eat.

Great hotel , next to Grand mosque for your sight see

The Abra service is good if you have children and want to entertain them.the beach and swimming pool very good .

When you enter the hotel there is a weird damp smell especially on level 2 . The carpets need a good wash. An asthma sufferer would pick this smell up instantly and may effect breathing.

It was very good but the first time we were there six years ago was much better.

Comfort and extremely nice staff.

Overcrowded for the size of the pool and beach. Guests were allowed to go very early in the morning to book a place on the beach / pool and then go for breakfast or whatever and only occupy them when they felt like. In the meantime the beach and pool were empty but no places were available for those who really wanted to use the beach or pool.
