"The room offered comfortable beds, clean linens, and private balcony with a private pool/spa."
"My family recently enjoyed a stay at Dhow Inn, and we couldn't have had a nicer time."
"We primarily went to kitesurf, but the weather was unseasonably hot and the promised winds never arrived, so instead we submitted to the relaxed atmosphere."
