    **Disappointing Stay Despite Good Facilities** We stayed for a night with my husband and two kids, mainly for the kids' pool and playground. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet our expectations. The bar was too close to the kids' pool, which didn’t feel family-friendly, and although breakfast was okay, it wasn’t worth the price. We were woken up at 6 AM by loud music, and the kids’ playground closed early at 6 PM, leaving no time for the kids to play after dinner. After check-out, the staff was unwelcoming when we tried to use the playground, despite it being empty. Overall, while the facilities are decent, the service and policies need improvement.

    mixed feelings but more on the positive side!

    Furniture, bed, mattress, fridge, etc.. is old, so are linen and towels (although clean and does the job). bathroom amenities are less than expected in such a hotel category. DONT expect comfort or luxury as it is very basic. The really bad side of the hotel is the jet ski noise (from outsiders), at early morning and around sunset, that really make me hesitant to go there again! one last comment, I didn't like some guests not respecting car parking protocols and manners!

    The staff are very good and always useful, the property design and structure is excellent, the bar/ seafood restaurant are excellent, Breakfast is good. cleanness is excellent (in spite of some guests not respecting that). service is -in general- very prompt.

    Upon check in, just because I didn’t include my kids which is 5,4 and 9months old in the booking, my husband has to pay 200 riyals extra for the breakfast. Despite than arriving late at 1am, the room was having a strong cigarette smells. Glad that the team changed our room quickly. Thanks for that :) When we went for the breakfast the next day, the staff told me they only will charge if the kids is 6 yo above. So I don’t know whom to report? Plus Novotel is always our first choice. Never been to any other hotel yet in Bahrain

    This is our 5th time in this hotel whenever we travelled to Bahrain. We love everything here! They brought Indian breakfast on Friday morning which makes me happy!

    very rude and unreasonable new management rules.

    They are rude and strict. Many hotels allow you to use facilities the day of the check out. Novotel comes to people in the pool kicking them out at 12pm infront of other guests. It makes the place feel very unwelcoming. They are overpriced in their rooms and food additionally kick people out. I think the new management needs to rethink their attitude as I used to come every weekend, and last time booked for 4 nights. However, considering to take my business elsewhere.

    I go for the pool with children, their pool is temperature controlled so its good for the hot summer months.

    Breakfast is not well, There was not that much choices. Even fruits and salads are also very minimal. Amenities are on call basis only.

    Big Pool and Landscape, ambience & really this place was good. Dinner is worth and some dishes are delicious. Beakers are good and crip. Like those.

    The cleaning of the pool area could be improved as the pool had garbage near the waterfall for over 18 hours . A glass , cigarette packages , butts, and a beer tin. I reported it to the pool bar but was ignored . There were also cigarette butts under the bridge that partitions the children's pool. Also beware if you book a beach front room you could be kept awake by the extremely loud partying on the beach ; there was a beach party at the time I stayed . Thank heaven I booked a sea view .

    The room was as advertised . It was perfect . The terrace overlooking the sea was fabulous . Access to the beach and pool couldn't be easier and the food on offer in the Mediterranean restaurant was great; both dinner buffet and breakfast . I would go again .

    There was a beach party all Friday until midnight and the hotel didn’t inform us before. It was really noisy so make sure they don’t organize a beach party when you go there.

    Biggest complaint would be there are cigarette butts everywhere like evertstep on the beach you would find 2-3 that's disgusting and yall need to sort that out.

    The staff was very friendly and always greeted you with a smile. The food was good as well. I was expecting the buffet to be unendible but it was quite delicious.
