How was the minibar?
Indeed alcoholic beverages selections were nothing special. I understand here is Arabian country. Soft drink selections were excellent. No complaints.
How is the Club Lounge?
Yes, granted for entire of 4 nights stay. Before I visit here, I heard excellent reputation of food and beverage performance. However, my experience was very small selection and so-so quality of food and some better selection of beverage. (Champagne was Moët) Not exceeded my expectation. Honestly saying,
Unterwegs' comment about this club lounge seems to be just said the least. And they didn't provide any information letter about Club Lounge operations and Club benefits.
