Apologies for resurrecting an old dead post, but I just wanted to say thank you for all of your advice for what has made a brilliant weekend away. For those who suggested the Gulf Hotel - spot on. With a room in the main block and views to the west it was great, and the room itself was incredible. Super grounds, pool and restaurants too. To those that suggested things to do, thank you too; with only two days I didn’t have time to see it all but it’s encouraged me to come again.

I’m having a final cocktail now outside before the 2am flight home to the office, and miserable UK weather. My first experience of World Traveller Plus left a lot to be desired coming (no drinks served with the meal, no meal options left, rude cabin crew etc) but hopefully it’ll be better on the return. It was also my first flight out of C gates, so I’ll remember the lack of facilities next time!

Thanks to you all and here’s to becoming Silver on my return!!
