Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with clean and luxurious rooms offering an amazing sea view. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Kashis, the best hostess, for making my experience unforgettable. The location, although far from the city center, provided a perfect escape to relax and unwind. Dining options were excellent, with plenty of choices to enjoy. The facilities were wonderful, meeting all my needs during my stay.
Although the rooms are old and not as luxurious as expected from a Sofitel, the hotel provides clean and comfortable accommodations. The service is incredibly helpful and pleasant, and the location offers a relaxing atmosphere away from the city noise. However, the dining options are considered poor compared to other five-star hotels. Overall, the hotel is a decent choice for a comfortable stay with some limitations.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms offered a lovely outside sitting area with excellent views of the hotel grounds and sunset. The spa and food were top-notch, although I missed out on a better treatment rate by not booking upon arrival. The room was beautifully decorated with fresh roses daily, but some areas seemed unprepared.
I must say, this hotel truly stole my heart with its fabulous view out to sea and the most gorgeous views of the amazing sunsets in the evening. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit worn-out, but the reception area is stunning, creating a great first impression after check-in.
The hotel offers a room initially booked with access to the pool and a terrace facing the Arabian Gulf, but it felt more like a 3-star experience. The service was exceptional, always attentive and friendly, right from check-in. The location is excellent, on the sea with amazing views but a bit far from other attractions. The dining experience at 'Saraya' was served well by Ajay Saraya, though it could be improved. Some of the facilities were lovely and very clean.
