Interesting room layout with ditto bathroom.

Clean
Rooms were beautiful, especially the Creek View Junior Suite. Every staff member went out of their way to offer any assistance they could. Had dinner twice in the CuiScene buffet. Perfect for the grandkids (15 months and 4.5 years).
Staff were amazing.
Opportunities for improvement:
- Hire more staff during busy periods as there were lack of staff at cuisine restaurant.
-Improve the breakfast selection.
- Don’t overcook the Lobster and meats during New Year Eve Gala.
Wonderful stay with the family, large room with wonderful views of the sea and Grand Mosque. Very comfortable, clean and good breakfast. Enjoyed a meal at the Italian restaurant.
The staff were very friendly. We came here last year and it was better this year. The restaurants were amazing - the pool staff were very helpful - looking forward to staying there again next year
