When you arrive at a hotel and you find they have totally messed up your reservation and dont have the room you booked its never a good start to a vacation. The hotel found a room for us but but it took a lot of pushing and it wasn't what we wanted when we got it.
Generally the hotel is ok, pretty average. The staff are attentive and pool area and beaches very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Its location is good for a get away but if you have plans to spend time in Manama City or at the City Centre Mall etc then this hotel is quite a ways out. There are bars and restaurants close by in the marina area but its still a very quiet area away from the city.
This is a nice functional hotel with family friendly facilities but they do need to raise their game a bit, do a bit of maintenance and upgrading in some areas of the hotel and realise that there are other hotels in Manama that are doing what they do better! We had a nice weekend but I am not in a super hurry to stay there again.
