I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Al Areen Palace & Spa. The individual villas are luxurious and spacious, and the private heated pool was a fantastic feature. The service was excellent, particularly from Nural and Iqbal, who made us feel well taken care of. However, the room showed signs of wear and needed maintenance, and the dining options were limited. Even though I faced some noise issues from neighbors, I would definitely consider returning for another relaxing getaway.

My stay at the resort was nothing short of incredible! The villas are spacious and luxurious, featuring private pools and excellent amenities. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure my comfort.
