We had a wonderful stay.
Pros:

We did not have breakfast at the restaurant.

Cons:

The quality of the food was not good at all. I suggest that you try a new chef. We had supper at the restaurant and it was not good at all.

Pros:

Location is beautiful!
Size of the 2 bedroom apartment, very spacious and the kitchen fully fitted.
Staff were friendly and very kind to our kids!
Requests were attended to quickly.

Cons:

Bathrooms not well cleaned well.
Room we stayed in had old mouldy cupboards.

The staff did attempt to make accommodation for frozen Halaal meals but they were very expensive and tasted like it was in the freezer for a long time.
