Stunning Room with a View

I had the delight of staying in an Arabian Sea view room that provided amazing views from the third floor. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and brought a touch of old-world charm that I loved. Both the room and the balcony were perfect for relaxing and admiring the view, adding a magical touch to my stay.

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool area was a nice escape during my stay. Although it was smaller than expected, it perfectly suited the atmosphere of the hotel. The relaxing ambiance made it a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring. Even though loungers were somewhat limited, I was lucky to find available seating, allowing me to soak in the sun and enjoy my vacation.

Plus, the complimentary breakfast with a wide spread catered to all tastes, making mornings enjoyable for everyone!
