Hotel SHANGRI-LA AL HUSN ADULT ONLY

Exceptional! Al Husn is a very special place. The most magical setting, architecture, and staff. We visited August 2024 and will be returning this summer again for a multi generational, 7 person holiday. What we really appreciate about this resort is the serenity. No piped music by the pool or on the beach, (although sadly some clientele like everywhere think it’s acceptable to play sound out loud on their devices on the beach and by the pool.) The hotels architecture and service oozes Arabic tradition whilst adding elements of modern day elegance and superb comfort and functionality. The bedrooms are sumptuous with every need considered and you truly feel you are in a different land, enjoying a different culture, which is exactly how travel should be. This time we stayed in the Panoramic View rooms and we were blown away. As lovers of serenity and a view, I couldn’t wait to draw back the curtains in the morning and take it all in. On top of all the above, the real reason we come back to this hotel is the exceptional team of staff, superbly overseen by Nick Flynn. Nick himself takes the time to check in with the guests, Whilst we sat on the terrace for evening drinks he would make time to share a few words with every guest. Exceptional hospitality and the sort of touch that makes you feel so special, so looked after and genuinely welcome. This is almost a service of bygone days, and yet so many other hotels are missing out on this very important detail. We rarely experience hospitality like this anywhere else in the world, and we are very well travelled. Nick has managed to cultivate this same hospitality across his wonderful team of staff. From the kitchen to the dining room, to the housekeeping, to the reception, to the concierge, to the pool, beach staff, and the spa, every detail and need was catered for. We ate most nights at the hotel and sampled delicious food with the “special” summer menu. It was very enjoyable to dine at Sultannah every night in the child free environment. We found the summer special menu really suited our tastes and meant we looked forward to every evening, and didn’t feel the need to eat elsewhere. Returning to this resort for the fifth time this summer, will be the highlight of our year again. See you all in August!
