While my overall stay at Shangri La Barr Al Jissah Resort was enjoyable, I did face a few challenges. The check-in process was efficient, and my room had a beautiful sea view, but I encountered noise disturbances from an event during my stay that affected the atmosphere. Dining was pleasant with various options available, but I found vegetarian choices somewhat limited in specific areas. Overall, there were highlights, yet some aspects fell short of expectations.

I stayed in a sea view room which was clean and functional, though I faced some disappointment as another room option was either a twin or still blocked by trees. The view was nice overall, but not what I had hoped.

My stay at Shangri La Barr Al Jissah Resort And Spa Al Waha was enjoyable overall, but there were a few disappointments. The stunning surroundings and excellent pool facilities really stood out, particularly the lazy river that provided endless fun. However, the quality of the room did not meet my expectations for a five-star hotel, and dining options were quite pricey with limited variety.

My stay at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah was a mix of beautiful surroundings and some disappointing experiences. The beach and pools were stunning, offering a fantastic atmosphere, but the service and dining options fell short of expectations for a five-star hotel.

Rooms

I was in a room on the 3rd floor, which was comfortable, but not up to the standard I associate with Shangri-La. The bathroom was nice, yet the overall condition felt worn, with signs of age like stained carpets and chipped furniture.

Service

While the staff were generally friendly and helpful, I did encounter some issues. Slow service at certain bars and a language barrier with some staff members affected my experience. However, others, like Renny at breakfast, provided excellent service.

The location is amazing, with stunning views of the mountains and a lovely beach perfect for walks. The accessibility is good, thanks to ramps leading from the hotel to the beach, making it easy to explore the beautiful grounds.

Dining

5.0

I found the dining options rather limited, especially for someone looking for variety. The breakfast and dinner buffets had a decent selection but became repetitive over my three-day stay. Despite paying for half board, I struggled to find appealing vegetarian options.

Facilities

6.0

The pools and lazy river were enjoyable and well-maintained, offering fun for both adults and kids. However, I felt the games zone needed more attention; it was isolated and empty.

My stay at Shangri La Al Waha was mostly enjoyable, with fantastic pool facilities and beautiful surroundings. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent. However, the room quality left much to be desired, and the prices for food and drinks were on the high end, which made me reconsider some choices. Overall, it's a great family-friendly resort but could use some improvements.

Most of the staff were courteous and helpful, though I did encounter some rudeness at the towel station, which was disappointing. The service during meal times could also be a bit slow.

The resort is isolated with no nearby restaurants or shops, which felt a bit claustrophobic at times, but the scenic views and access to the beach were significant perks.
