Perfect recreation

Al Bustan offers good leisure in an perfect environment. The new garden area ist beautiful and the the sports centre well equipped. The eating facilities are somewhat limited. The buffet type restaurant is crowded and noisy and the Chinese place quite small. We usually preferred the Beach Pavilion with breathtaking view and excellent cooking. We think that another fine restaurant would be necessary to fill all needs in particular in case you decide to stay longer.

Grosses Palasthotel mit schönem Park und Strand

Pros: Der Park, das Frühstück, die Lage, da Personal.
Cons: Liegestühle nähe Meer werden morgens früh von Gästen reserviert, die erst später erscheinen. Das ist Niveau Club Med und eines Al Bustan nicht würdig.
Location: 20 min ausserhalb Zentrum. Ausflüge nach Matrah (Souk, Hafen), Opernbesuch, für Frauen: Hennah Körperbemalung. Taxifahrer helfen gerne.
Sehr freundliches Personal, immer bemüht, höflich, eifrig. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet, das Internet ist manchmal - je nach Lage der Zimmer - nicht immer vorhanden oder zu langsam. Die Aussicht ist aus allen Zimmern schön, wir hatten dem Meer abgewandte Zimmer mit feiner Aussicht auf die dahinter liegenden Berge und das Parlamentsgebäude. Das Frühstück ist sensationell, alles frisch, Früchte, Säfte, wunderbares Brot, und alles was das Herz begehrt. Auch das Essen in den Restaurants ist sehr gut, wenn auch teuer. Wir waren als Familie im Hotel, genossen den schönen Park mit Liegen, die von den netten Helfern jeweils am morgen mit Tüchern eingedeckt werden. Der Strand ist schön, nicht bevölkert und lädt zum Spazieren und Schwimmen ein. Wir waren eine Woche im Hotel, mit einem Unterbruch von zwei Nächten, die wir auf einer Rundreise verbrachten. Ich würde das Hotel wieder wählen.

Ruhige und entspannte Ferien die keine Wünsche offen lassen, hoher Altersschnitt.

Hotel sauber, Personal extrem zuvorkommend, bemühen sich jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Ausflug zum Shouk mit Hotelbus, zur Moschee geht nur mit Taxi.

Rundum zufrieden

Das Hotel erfüllt alle Erwartungen. Ich hatte einen kleinen Unfall in der Pool Area und wurde sofort und vollumfänglich vom Hotelpersonal betreut. Abgesehen davon war der Aufenthalt in diesem geschichtsträchtigen Palast ein Traum!

Überragende Gastfreundschaft in herrlichem Ambiente

Eine luxuriöse Hotelanlage, wo keine Wünsche offen bleiben. Vor allem die sehr zuvorkommende Gastfreundschaft des aufmerksamen und freundlichen Personals ist herausragend. Variantenreiche und herrlich zubereitete Mahlzeiten in verschiedenen Gastronomiebereichen sowie ein äusserst sorgsam gepflegter Garten- und Strandbereich mit vielen Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten bieten das perfekte Ambiente für einen entspannenden Urlaub auf hohem Niveau.

Luxus und Stil

Wir waren bereits zum vierten Mal in diesem Hotel, aber bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal. Die Anlage ist mittlerweile 30 Jahre alt, aber zum grössten Teil in einem erstklassigen Zustand. Das Haus wurde als Prestige-Objekt für ein politisches Meeting erstellt, deshalb wurde nicht rendite-optimiert gebaut, sondern mit dem Ziel einfach das Beste zu erreichen. Wenn man das Haar in der Suppe wirklich intensiv sucht, ist höchstens das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis der Verpflegung zu erwähnen. Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter Wein, aber das hat auch seinen Preis.
