Local knowledge

Book upper-floor sea-view rooms (7th floor and above mentioned) for best sunset views and to avoid ground-floor smoke/noise from shisha lounge.
If on full board, request specific meals at other restaurants before arrival; buffet credit (AED 100/adult) is limited compared to à la carte prices.
Arrive early in high season (Eid, summer, holidays) to secure beach loungers; they fill up quickly despite the long beach.
