Al Shamal accommodation from NZ$127

The rooms are very comfortable, the view is spectacular and the pool and area are clean with competent life guards. The restaurant, on the other hand, is subpar. Not enough Wait staff means they are running and food arrives late and cold, assuming you don’t have to go and remind them that you ordered food. They were apologetic each time something was brought to their attention - clearly not their fault- more wait staff would alleviate this issue.

Room was in good condition. Management should change their policy of razing the beach sand during while people are sunbathing. Smell of exhaust and noise was too much. Other than that, it was a decent getaway. Remember that this is not at the same standard as other resorts like Zulal. Simply not comparable. But Al Khor is a very nice area and this resort is fairly decent. I was checked in later than I was promised, but management tried to make it better by offering fruit baskets and extending my checkout. I didnt accept either of them, but it was nice that they reached out.
