“Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri strikes me as a property of contrasts. The location, removed from the city center yet convenient to the airport, allows for a serene experience. The mosque views are undeniably a highlight, and the villas with private pools speak to a high level of luxury; however, some reports suggest inconsistencies in service that Shangri-La should address to fully realize the hotel's potential.”

I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast. It had so many options! the pool was also great, with really comfy loungers. the hotel's architecture is lovely, very traditional.
my bed sheet smelled pretty bad, like it wasn't washed. the cleaner kept ringing the bell even though i didn't put the 'do not disturb' sign on. some staff were impolite, i felt.

I spent several nights in a premier king room. It was spacious. the hotel presented complimentary bottled water daily, a detail i really appreciated. the room was very clean. i relished the quiet atmosphere and the attentive service i received .
The pool area was occasionally crowded. Securing a lounger at peak times proved challenging. i think additional seating would improve the guest experience.

I stayed for several nights. Brahma, the housekeeping attendant, ensured the room was perfectly maintained. I dined at Bord Eau and had an lovely experience with a refined menu and perfect service. The massage at the spa was deeply relaxing and professional (one of the best I've ever had). The app allowed me to request items without calling reception.
I noticed a slight delay in getting seated at Ramadan Village one evening. It took some time to get assistance, even though the place was not very full.
