I stayed at the Beach Rotana for work and had a total of 4 nights. Arrival at the hotel was easy and the valet parking was efficient. As soon as you walk through the door, you can immediately feel the air conditioning is on point and the hotel lobby / lounge area is beautifully grand. The hotel is situated so that it is easy to get into the mall or town.

Check in was a fairly straight forward process, however I feel if could have been a fraction faster (which makes a difference when you re checking in at 02:30hrs like us).

The room was spacious with plenty of cupboard & draw space for clothes storage etc. Again, I was super happy with the air con in the room, especially when it was 40 degrees C outside. The house cleaners were very good and kept my room clean and tidy. The bathroom was a good size.

The balcony view for me was a good one, I could see out to the water. The balcony is very small and only for popping out onto.

Breakfast at the hotel had plenty to offer and we were never waiting to get a table. You can get a cooked breakfast, obviously not with bacon or other pork products.

The beach area was not quite what I could call a beach, but it was a sand strip along the water front; however, as it s in the estuary, it doesn t quite have the looking out to sea factor. It is however private to the hotel.

The infinity pool space was great with a pool side bar, and a fair amount of loungers. Watch out for the fool tiles by the pool though, when wet they are super slippy! There is a shallow kids pool area complete with a cover to create some very needed shade for the little ones. There is also a kids play area and a kids club.

The hotel has a bar along side which is tiki themed; great cocktails and the food was yummy too!

There are plenty of amenities in the hotel and in principle, I really can t fault it.

Even though I was only there on business, I could have easily had my family there having a great time whilst I went to work. I could happily go back again on holiday, but maybe when it s not so hot!

I would be happy to recommend this hotel.
