- Ibrahim M7 contributionsWas really amazing place to visit with friends and family too
Nothing like it anywhere just amazing
Especially in the evening with lightsWritten March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Paula NGreater London, UK762 contributionsHaving spent many excellent holidays here when it was managed by Kempinski, we were looking forward to our two week stay now it's managed by Mandarin Oriental.
The exterior and most of the interior of the hotel is the same. The restaurants have changed. Mandarin have refurbished the rooms which are tastefully decorated and well serviced twice a day.
The EP Club, in it's new position on the ground floor facing the sea,
is the best bit in our opinion. It has its own private beach. The staff and facilities are excellent. We celebrated our 57th wedding anniversary during our stay and the EP club made a great fuss of us. Thank you.
We did have some problems with noise from the development at the Marina and functions which the hotel hold, but the management were very good and sorting things out to our satisfaction.
Overall we had another wonderful holiday and hope to return again sometime.
Thank you to all the staff - especially in the EP club.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Watch out for the main roller coaster not working because it appears that it regularly isn’t working ! Our highlight was the walk over the top of the park and this was amazing. It comes at an extra cost but is well worth doing !Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ayaz H1 contributionIt was great experience. We visited the waterworld 2+2(6+10). With the help of Lareef who advised to take Cabana (close to the kids zone) we spent unforgettable time. Thanks to Lareef for support and kind welcoming us.Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simone M1 contributionBeautiful experience. huge aquarium, well organized and with lots of diversity of marine animals. After seeing the aquarium we took a guided tour “behind the scenes” with the guide, Mr. Elbeaky Mohamed. Mohamed was really kind, witty but at the same time prepared and accurate in his explanations. Thanks for the wonderful experience. I recommend to everyoneWritten March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sunsets are just spectacular here. There are many eateries as well, especially when one gets closer to the Nation Towers area.

Had a good shopping time and many offers was there. All was great except that it’s a bit far from the city, we were waited a bit longer for a cab.
