Recreation: Waterpark featuring a lazy river and water slides

“Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah's greatest strengths lie in its private beachfront and impressive array of family-oriented amenities, including a lazy river and dedicated kids' club. While some may find aspects of the resort dated, the luxurious spa suites set within lush gardens offer a definite counterpoint. I believe the Turtle Ranger program, highlighting the hotel's commitment to conservation, is a particularly unique and valuable feature.”

Check-in was fast. All staff members were friendly and professional. The beds and pillows were super comfy, ensuring good sleep. The setting of the hotel is beautiful, with lovely ocean views and the sound of waves.

The walking path lacked shade. Additional trees are necessary. During the day, it became really difficult to walk in the hotel area.
