Just completed a very short stay. Can't say much as I just stayed overnight, but a few comments:

- Hotel is very spacious, rooms and hallways are generous. It seemed completely empty, though. As a Diamond, I was upgraded to a club king (frankly, with the hotel being deserted, they could have probably tried harder but I did not care for a short night).

- Comp airport pick up was confirmed by concierge prior to arrival, but airport booth was empty. Waited for 15-20 min and called hotel, but nothing happened, so took a taxi. Hotel apologized and comped return next morning.

- Aircondition in my room was very noisy...weird for a brand new hotel.

- When asking about the Diamond amenity, the FO manager told me I was already enjoying the current MC promotion, and there could 'not be two different promotions at a time'. I am pretty sure he mixed things up, or how would the MC promotion relate to a Diamond amenity ? Did not bargain, though.

- There still is construction all over the place, so despite the hotel theoretically in a nice location (from the airport a bit of a drive, after the West Bay hotels), you will be looking at construction in pretty much every direction for another little while.

In all fairness, it was a short stay, and the weird things left me puzzled...but I have to say the facilities were nice, and the staff very friendly throughout. The place probably deserves a second try.
