Excellent Stay at Gulf Hotel
well-kept room daily cleaning fragrant towels
The room was always well-kept. Mr Ravindra was very attentive. I appreciated his daily detailed cleaning. The towels were always fragrant, and the sheets were clean. I also received a special discount for Meryal Water Park from the concierge, Sanita and Tusar.
The main restaurant offered food of suspect quality and lacking flavor. There was a lot of waiting for any request. It is a pity quality equipment is not maintained.

understaffed and repetitive food
short-staffed hotel limited selection
I recently spent 5 nights here and found it underwhelming. The hotel seemed short-staffed. This led to long waits at the bars and restaurants. The buffet had the SAME limited selection every day. It got quite boring. I expected more variety and better service.
