Zallaq Beach Resorts from RM675

"Just back from a stay at Sofitel Bahrain and honestly, it was excellent. The hotel is in a stunning spot right on the beach with beautiful sea views and a peaceful, private feel. Staff were genuinely warm and attentive—nothing felt forced. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had that subtle luxury feel without being overdone. The Friday brunch was a real highlight—loads of variety and great atmosphere. Spa is worth a visit too, and the pool area was perfect for a proper switch-off. All in all, a brilliant mix of comfort, service, and scenery. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing break in Bahrain with a touch of class. 🌅👌"

"Our stay at Ritz-Carlton was exemplary in every way; a beautiful property with amazing service from staff who really want you to have a memorable time. We loved it from start to finish, the staff made us feel so special and that our choice to stay there was appreciated. The role model of how a luxury hotel should operate. Well done everyone - you’ve exceeded all of our expectations and set the bar very high !"

"It really was a wonderful experience. A typical hotel can not compete with this concept. It is a 40-60 minute drive from the airport depending on traffic. The welcome and send off were especially pleasant, cordial and heartfelt. Knowing how deceptive photos can be, I thought the privat pool might be a bit small and was prepared to use the main one. But it was in fact a very good size and swimming laps also worked well. It was very nice to be able to swim and enjoy the pool in silence as most hotels now seem to insist on music/noise pollution. The breakfast was quite memorable, food and service outstanding. The club beat music made it feel a bit rushed and downright stressful though. Despite how nice everything was, there were a couple of „bumps“ along the way. The first evening there was turndown service at 7pm, well done. Then the next afternoon I waited for housekeeping to turn up. At around five pm, I turned on the green light shaped like a made. At around 8pm I gently enquired, to make sure at least the turndown service would be provided. Then, I got a call back saying that I had activated the DND (do not disturb) botton in red, which kept housekeeping from ringing the doorbell. This was however not true. It was a bit unpleasant to be accused of it, and then the next afternoon I was phoned, asking if it would be alright for housekeeping to enter, as if I were somehow difficult. This could have been handled better. Still, a very enjoyable and rejuvenating getaway."
