The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Luxurious Spa Retreat

I had a wonderful experience at the Live your Life spa. It truly is the biggest spa in the Middle East, with spacious treatment rooms offering a variety of relaxation remedies. The Moroccan scrubs and Balinese massages were really good, making it the perfect way to unwind. I can't recommend this spa enough for anyone looking to relax and rejuvenate.

Really good Culinary Experience

The dining options at Al Areen were fabulous. We particularly loved the meals at Rimal restaurant, where the chef prepared my husband's grilled tuna perfectly. The immersive experience of dining poolside with delicious food made our stay nice. Each meal was excellent and fairly priced for such a luxurious resort.

Private Villa Bliss

Staying in a one-bedroom desert pool villa was an lovely experience. The villa was beautifully designed and came with a private heated pool and a luxurious jacuzzi. It provided the perfect escape, surrounded by tranquility where I could relax to the sounds of nature. I felt completely spoiled during my time there.

Comfort Beyond Expectations

The bedroom in our villa was immaculate and elegantly decorated. Every detail was taken care of, making it feel like a true sanctuary. I especially appreciated the flowers and welcome treats that made our arrival even warmer. It was the perfect retreat, and I enjoyed every moment spent resting in such a peaceful atmosphere.

My stay at this spa hotel was genuinely delightful. The service provided by the team was exceptional, particularly by Binjamin, who made our experience memorable. The luxurious accommodations and serene surroundings were perfect for relaxation. However, I believe the rooms could use some renovation, as they felt a bit dated. Despite this, I enjoyed the various facilities available.

My experience at this resort was a mix of highs and lows. The romantic ambiance and beautiful villa with a private pool truly made my stay special.

6.4/10

I had an experience that varied quite a bit at this hotel. The location is a bit isolated, making it challenging to explore restaurants outside the resort. The service was attentive and made me feel valued, especially from staff members like Rabea. However, I encountered issues with the check-in process and cleanliness of my villa, which were disappointing given the price. On a positive note, the dining experience was excellent, with delicious food served by friendly staff.

The location is fairly isolated, which limits food options to the resort's offerings. It’s a journey of about 45 minutes from the airport, which I wouldn't recommend for those looking to explore.

The facilities are okay, but the villa itself, along with the amenities, could use some updates to meet modern luxury standards.
