    I recently had a wonderful stay at The Majlis Resort. The location and facilities were excellent. The African-styled decor and architecture added a luxurious touch to the cozy atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and assisted me in arranging excursions. The airport pickup with the hotel's speedboat saved me the hassle of negotiating for my own transport. The public spaces and grounds were stunning, adding to the overall relaxing and idyllic experience. The massages were exceptional, thanks to the talented masseuse, Margaret. The food and cocktails were delicious, and the staff's warm hospitality made me feel welcomed and never alone. I can recommend this hotel.

    I can recommend this hotel.

    The hotel had beautiful African-inspired decorations and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel at home. The staff was very friendly and professional. I particularly enjoyed the delicious food, especially the crab salad and tuna tartar. The excellent massages were a highlight of the trip. The location was perfect, with breathtaking views of the ocean and easy access to water sports activities.

    There were some negative aspects that affected my overall experience. there were issues with bugs in some of the rooms and the management team seemed uninterested in addressing these concerns.

    During my recent business trip, I had a pleasant stay at a seaside resort. I enjoyed the breathtaking views of the ocean and nearby islands from the comfortable sunbeds. It was nice that the resort provided complimentary toiletries in the room and clean swimming pools to use. the location was ideal, with easy access to various outdoor activities to explore.

    The quality of service provided by some members of staff. One particular staff member was rude and disrespectful to some guests, which was unwarranted.
