With its sandy stone walls, extensive gardens and extravagant water features, this aptly-named hotel could easily be mistaken for a Moorish palace. As you walk through its doors, you'll be greeted by a ballroom-sized lobby, complete with gleaming marble floors and traditional touches like wooden balconies and a stained-glass window. As for the bedrooms, they're a lot more contemporary. In-room comforts come in the form of air-conditioning and satellite TVs, while glass balcony doors take up the whole wall, meaning great views are always on show. Outside, things are just as smart. The star of the show is the gigantic swimming pool. Surrounded by a scattering of palms and cushioned loungers, it gives way to gorgeous landscaped gardens. You'll find flood-lit tennis courts around the corner, too. location � On the beach � 500m to Corniche & Khan shopping centre � 500m to Port Ghalib International Marina tranSfer time 10 minutes Swimming pool � Swimming pool - saltwater lagoon pool mealS � The Olive Restaurant serving buffet breakfast and � la carte lunch and dinner, with Arabic & Mediterranean dishes � Budour's Court serving dinner with Lebanese cuisine � Pool Deck serving light meals for lunch and a seafood a la carte menu for dinner � Look Out Bar for coffee and cocktails activitieS � Minigolf � Six Senses Spa, sauna, massage, Turkish bath, steam bath and Gym entertainment � Live entertainment for familieS � Lulee kids' club, 4-12 yrs, with supervised activities � Playroom � Playground � Electronic games arcade � Kids' menu � Highchairs � Cots other facilitieS � Money exchange/ATM � Internet � WiFi in public areas � Bicycle hire roomS: 308 liftS: 3 official rating: HHHHH Room facilities Double room with seaview All rooms have air-conditioning, cable/ satellite LCD TV, telephone, internet access, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, iron/ironing board and balcony or ground terrace with garden view.
