breakfast buffet exciting ride
The breakfast buffet at Bait Al Hanine was very good. The stables team, especially Hasim, arranged a pony ride for my child. It was very exciting. My son enjoyed it a lot. The chef and staff were cute.
The AC in my room could have been stronger.

a satisfactory stay
pool area shaded cabana pool bar staff information money value
i found the pool area quite fine. shaded cabanas were plentiful and i liked the swim up pool bar. the entire resort had a bedouin style retreat vibe. even though it was quiet, it still maintained a rich atmosphere.
the staff didn't tell us to book activities when we checked in. we came the next day. all activities were fully booked, it was disappointing. it wasn't worth the money to go to a resort where we couldn't do activities. i could have booked a regular hotel instead.
