Not happy
Pros:

Close to beach

Cons:

Was given worst room in hotel - ground floor on the side no view - useless tiny balcony above entrance to the garage - each time cars entered the garage I could here the door open and close - as it was so close to the road I Couldn’t open my curtains or inner curtains because of a lack of privacy - I asked but was told there was no other available room - I also asked to extend my stay in another room due the the no fly through Dubai but was told no more rooms so had to move into Sydney for 4 days - not happy at all - even asking staff to book me a taxi took 40 minutes to arrive - the Sebel should not be selling this room 115 at the same cost as the upper rooms with views and large balconies!!!

As above
Pros:

The room, location and facilities were good

Cons:

The whole stay was let down by my checkout experience. I was not leaving for the airport until 3.30pm so asked for a late checkout. I was told this was not possible and staff were unable to offer me any alternative in order to take a shower and get ready for my very long journey home to the UK. It was a very hot day and I was reduced to having to shower by the pool and use the toilet facilities to change. These were very hot and dark, so impossible to dry hair or see in a mirror to be able to make up. This experience overshadowed all the good things about the stay.

Pros:

Top Lage, schönes Zimmer

Cons:

Ich blieb 2 Wochen und hatte ein Zimmer mit nur einer mini Küchenzeile die gar nicht verwendet werden konnte. Man musste quasi das Essen im Bad zubereiten.

Bettbezüge.
