نظرة سريعة: It's a solid family resort with great bones, but expect crowds, ongoing renovations, and some dated elements that don't quite scream 5-star luxury.
تمت المراجعة بواسطة @may.catague: Our family trip to Le Meridien Al Aqah was the perfect escape. Waking up to that panoramic ocean view from bed was incredible. The kids loved the massive pool and beach, and I couldn't get enough of the endless breakfast buffet. Highly recommend!
