AlBander Hotel & Resort

This is a small resort in a port complex. It has small bungalows with spacious and pleasantly furnished rooms. Each bungalow has a terrace and a small section of beach. The housekeeping staff does a great job. There is a pool, some of which have broken loungers. There is also a seawater pool. As this is a partition in the bay, there is almost no water exchange. The water is therefore more like a pond. This section, which is referred to as the "beach", is also very small. The breakfast buffet is sufficient. The whole complex looks dingy and run-down and is in urgent need of renovation. Jet skis whiz past in front of the complex at an enormous volume. This should be banned: after all, the guests want to relax. The worst thing, however, is that you are at the very end of the world. There is no supermarket nearby. There are also no taxis outside the door. These are expensive and have to drive from Manama. Without your own car, you are completely lost. The reception is unwilling and completely overwhelmed. For example, there was no cold water the whole time, neither in the sink nor in the shower. The tap water was so hot that it almost scalded you. I complained about this. After 4 days, the problem was still not solved.

The hotel is located outside the city, so it is suitable for those who want to relax away from the bustle of the city. The trick of the hotel is that the bungalows have terraces right at the water's edge; it is very cozy here to drink coffee in the early morning or sit in the evening. The staff is friendly and attentive. Breakfast and lunch are buffet, dinner is a la carte. The dishes are huge, the choice is varied. All Inclusive here does not include drinks during the day, which was not a very pleasant discovery, that is, drinks with meals and 2 bottles of water in the room - you have to buy the rest. The hotel's guests are mainly locals and Saudis. They all hang out by the pool, so no one controls the beach, the cleaning of the beach is far from ideal, and you take the mattress and towel yourself from the pool and carry it to the beach. But despite the points noted above, the holiday is luxurious, quiet and peaceful. The hotel, in my opinion, corresponds to the 4 star category.

Very polite and friendly staff, at the reception they solved all the issues and even found my lost phone)) beautiful territory, clean cleaning, delicious food and I was impressed by the pool at night, lighting and depth from 1.4 to 3.1, in general, I wish everyone a calm and beautiful place here

I'm at the hotel. It's actually very sad. The pool is not working - post until 21. Then it will be turned on. The beach is dirty and unkempt. "all inclusive" is breakfast, lunch and dinner a la carte. And 2 small bottles of water in the room. And nothing else during the day. I had to go to a small, shabby store next to the hotel to buy water and juice. All drinks are only available during meals. At the reception, no one is interested in tourists from Russia. Only nice to others. They simply brush us off; if you try to get through to us, it’s impossible. Although the number of rooms is old, and something is not working. I had to go and talk. And try to get the remote control or toilet fixed. I don’t recommend this hotel to my compatriots at all. You will be disappointed. The water in the lagoon is stagnant, the bottom is muddy and does not smell very good. You can't swim well in the sea. Everything is blocked by huge floating pipes. In general, it does not justify the money spent. And yes, travel agencies can offer nothing other than excursions. And even more so to help solve some problems. Since the plane was at night, we wanted to extend our stay by 1/2 day. The price tag is such that you will have to sit somewhere from 12.00 to 22. Plus pay for food in the restaurant. Which is also so-so.

Indeed, unfortunately, it was one of the best resorts, and currently I think with the decline in their sales, the management changed, and as far as I know, they are Filipinos now. It is one of the dirtiest places, and it does not deserve a quarter of a star. The room is bad, and the service is the worst. They have it not available, and if it is available, they will charge you the value of a small water box. I hope their management will remedy the bad situation they are in now.
