Nice weekend getaway - great pool!
The pool area was very nice. The natural beach area was nice to look at, but water seemed a little murky. The lounge area next to the beach was nice at night time. The fish market restaurant was good, but a little pricey. Be sure to inquire about a reservation at check-in, or you will have to eat in the lounge/café area. The hotel charges a fee upon check-in. Also - be sure to not track too much sand in your room and get your floor towels too dirty because you will be charged. The cabana room air conditioner was a little noisy, but overall, a nice stay for a quick weekend getaway with a friend.

Dear Al Bander staff, I would like to thank all of you for your efforts in my last visit with my mother and family. I really enjoyed the whole facility and activities. I would really like to thank Vipin, Waqas (for a nice tour), and Mudhun (Room Service), you guys do an amazing job and we really appreciated. However, I would like to comment here on the 3 main things hopping to improve it in the next visit! · Lightning not covered well in the upstairs rooms. · Curtains not effectively working. · Add more room mirrors & dressers specially for 5 ladies visit. Thnx & see you soon,

Nice resort, friendly and good service, food can be improved. Too many flies makes the stay uncomfortable. They had a group of young corporate trainees, they were annoying and loud.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel was sort of on the beach of a lagoon with about 5 meters of gulf beach. There were no amenities available as advertised except the swimming pool. Nice place to dock a boat if you live there and the seafood restaurant on the resort was excellent. However, stay in Manama and drive our to the restaurant.

Pas mal mais peut mieux faire ...
Le vrais plus de cet hôtel est la piscine qui est sublime, avec un bar dans la piscine. Pour ce qui est des chambre, c'est vieillot et sombre. Niveau service, il y a bien mieux, le barman rarement là ou qui ignore, il a même fallu qu'on appelle le room service pour avoir des serviettes dans notre chambre. Pour ce prix, je m'attendais à mieux. Attention, il y a bien pire, dans l'ensemble c'est correct, il y a un bowling, billard, salle de sport, des restaurants ...
