The resort offers a decent stay with clean accommodations and a stunning view of the sunset. While the staff is courteous and provide helpful service, the dining options are somewhat limited, and the rooms can get quite cold at night which detracted from the overall experience. The location is fantastic for hiking, but the price feels a bit high for what's provided.

The hotel is set in a truly stunning location atop the Jebel Sham mountains, making it ideal for sunset views over the canyon. The room I stayed in was spacious, with a nice sitting area, although the bathroom was quite small. While the food was decent and the staff were very helpful, the overall experience felt basic and not quite luxurious. It's a good spot for those looking for clean and comfortable accommodations without expecting a fine dining experience.

The resort has stunning views and is great for exploring the surrounding landscape. The rooms are fairly basic, but clean, and there's a warm and welcoming atmosphere thanks to the friendly staff. Unfortunately, the amenities are limited, and the dining experience could be improved with better food choices. Wi-Fi accessibility is also a bit of a hassle since it's only available in a small lobby area.
