“In my opinion, while it boasts a unique history as a former royal lodge and offers diverse activities such as water sports and desert adventures, a significant renovation is overdue. The discrepancy between its 5-star billing and the dated rooms is hard to ignore, but the family-friendly amenities and proximity to natural wonders like Lake Qaroun and Valley of the Whales still hold considerable appeal for some travelers. For business, the five meeting rooms may be a plus, but the leisure and dining need to catch up.”
