The hotel is set against a dramatic mountain backdrop on 200 acres of private beach and lush green gardens. The combination of exotic location, superb facilities and unsurpassed grandeur makes the hotel a perfect venue for a pleasant as well as relaxing stay. The very large lobby features white marble flooring and beautiful mosaic tiled walls. This is without doubt one of the most impressive lobbies in the world. The dome shaped ceiling is so large and is in the style of a huge mosque. In the centre of the lobby there is a fountain and to the left the guest relations desk and reception. The whole lobby is extremely luxurious and should appeal even to those with the most discerning taste.
