Local knowledge

Request a room away from the corridor end if you prefer more privacy; some guests felt isolated there, while others loved the quiet.
Arrive early to the lagoon pool area to secure sunbeds; the 30-50 AED day pass is fully redeemable on food and drinks.
The breakfast service staff (especially Myatt, Susma, Naveen, Thae) excel at remembering orders and preferences—request specific servers if returning.
