"The views across the creek to the Grand Mosque were spectacular as was the view of the beach front and pool area."
"The pool is huge and the water temperature was perfect to cool down in the 40 degree plus heat, it is a credit to the staff working in the pool bar and on the beach that they carry on their duties professionally in such heat, Amran, Naresh, Brett , Benjamin & Gaurub were excellent."
"We have been upgraded to a room with a sea vie and we actually face the Grand Mosque which is amazing."
