A Muslim area, lots of 24/7 food availability.
Pros:

Family rooms close together.
Comfortable stay.

Cons:

Location was out of the way, though we did choose it for price (8 travellers).
Taxi drivers complained it was too far from attractions (2 refused to take us there at night); the 2 taxis we did get charged a lot extra in comparison to the cost the opposite way).

It was our second time staying with you and we'd happily stay again in the future. We'll be back.
Pros:

Loved our room, easy access to the facilities, the pool, washing machine and dryer and staff were really friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and clean. Housekeeping were amazing and did a great job everyday.

Cons:

The air con in our room seemed to be on the fritz a little. We struggled some days to get the temperature in our room to a comfortable cool temp especially at night. Also we loved the idea of having a tap for filtered water that we could use to fill up our drink bottles however it was a very slow flow and took a long time to fill up our bottles.
