The playground was great. Camel riding was also available. I found Al Hadeerah Arabic Dinner night quite enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
The check-in took over 40 minutes. I felt this process could have been more efficient. Waiting that long was not a great start to the stay.
