Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Clean, comfortable rooms with great views from higher floors. Excellent staff and food. Avoid the spa because guests report overwhelming chemical smells and high chlorine levels that cause headaches, breathing problems, and skin irritation.

Staff consistently impress guests with attentive service. The spa and dining stand out. However, the heated pool frequently doesn't work as advertised, arriving guests face long waits, and this recurs yearly, making it unreliable for families.
