I know the message you mean and you can ignore it for your intended trip.

Last September I went to Bahrain for three nights and stayed in the Movenpick by the airport. It was a lovely place to stay for my needs (pool, close to airport for arrival). I'd been there before for the Friday brunch so was familiar with the place.

The proximity to the airport though was no use on departure because I had the "last supper" in the Sofitel on the other side of Bahrain! I met with friends staying there and saw their room, which was fantastic (and a far superior category to the Movenpick). Buffet dinner was in the triple height dining room underneath reception and on having a peak outside the pool facilities looked good.

The outbound flight time is not great and I think is slightly later now due to Doha getting its own flight. When I went I was lucky enough to be in CW and there were just eight in the cabin on the way out and about 12/14 on the way back.

Enjoy!
