seasonal fruits clean beach infinity pools rude waiter opened wine unprofessional service
The breakfast was excellent with fresh seasonal fruits (i especially enjoyed the mangos). The beach was clean and inviting. I liked the infinity pools. They added a touch of luxury to the stay.
The staff was friendly overall, however, there was one waiter at Al Kharain who was quite rude. The bottle of wine i ordered was already opened and not completely full. I found that highly unacceptable and unprofessional. The incident made me question the service standards.
