Opened in March 2018, Rotana still looks and feels brand new. There is little evidence of Arabia here, but the decor is white minimalist and inoffensive. Staff were all pleasant and eager to please, especially Miguel and Su, our Butlers.. Restaurants serve tasty food, especially Turtle Bay for surf and turf. But we felt that all the restaurants should have been facing the beach, whereas some were tucked away inside the hotel. Our One Bedroom Beach Pool Villa was excellent. Spacious with living area, kitchen, bedroom, superb bathroom and even a separate 'gentleman's toilet! The plunge pool was the largest we have ever had, and the patio also has two loungers and a nice seating area with covered canopy....until the amazing storm one day blew it away! Read less

Overall one of the best hotels we've stayed at so far. Comfortable, very clean rooms, beautiful beach, very kind staff. We really enjoyed that the pool water for the villa was heated. It's very good system that the half board can be used for lunch and dinner. We could have a little more international food for dinner.
