Elite Resort & Spa

This is hands down one of the most horrible, unwelcoming, and misleading hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life. Let me start with the biggest issue: the hotel does NOT have a private beach. This is completely misrepresented on their website and booking platforms. The beach is actually owned by a separate restaurant, and hotel guests can only access it at specific times on certain days—and even then, you’re heavily monitored. You’re not even allowed to bring a bottle of water with you. Nowhere was this mentioned before I booked, and it was a huge disappointment. This is NOT a family-friendly hotel, despite being advertised as one on Expedia. If you’re planning a stay with kids or looking for relaxing family time, this is not the place. The atmosphere is more suited for singles or groups of friends. There’s loud music, partying, and people drinking all day. If that’s what you’re looking for, great—their music and party vibes are actually decent on event nights—but don’t expect anything remotely family-oriented. There are zero family-friendly activities and absolutely no effort to make families feel welcome. Check-in was okay—Gerard was the only standout, truly helpful and professional, even when I was clearly frustrated. A few of the pool lifeguards were kind as well. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the security staff, especially those hired by the restaurant. They were rude, disrespectful, and treated guests like an inconvenience rather than valued customers.

The place is a disaster! At the floor entrance there was a strong smell of cigarettes, the beach was closed to a private event so we could not access, the staff was very rude and unpolited to our kids… really disappointing. And during night there was so much noise from a beach party… worse place ever! If you want to travel and enjoy, chose someplace else!!

Nice but fairly old hotel that soon needs an upgrade. Very noisy AC.

Location is great and staffs are very friendly especially the reception lady. Sea view room is great! Breakfast ok (the day we had seems mainly Indian food). Room service was quite good. The overall condition of the hotel is ok. But a little bit old. Overall, good value and we enjoyed our stay and would like to go back and spend more time maybe by the beach or in the pool.

On the Beach

Outdated hotel in need of renovation prices of extra taxes or accommodation fees not clear at booking no receipt given for extra charges paid on check in No proper self service laundry facilities as advertised Messaged hotel 48 hours before to book airport pickup no reply not a free service as we thought hotel rooms old not cleaned correctly hairs in bathroom hairs under bedsheets loud noise until 2 am hard to sleep because of noise prices not clear enough of extra charges Senior staff not apologetic of inconvenience or compensating enough to guests some staff are helpful though and kind

Needs upgrade in rooms quality

I loved it

Nice hotel

Place was great. Staff couldn’t be friendlier. Hamburger and pizza were surprisingly very good. Room was comfortable had a corner king suite. View was amazing.

It’s a lovely hotel. The staff are very kind and obliging. It’s walking distance from the Souq and the spa is wonderful. The hotel overall is very accommodating, spacious and professionally run They could use an update on the hotel decor , a little bit of wear and tear. Water sometimes wasn’t hot. The beach they advertised is actually private, so hotel guest are only allowed in certain parts.

good stay in bahrain with pool and beach access

Nice hotel in good location. Close to airport and city center. Staff is nice and breakfast is good. Thanks for the great stay!

Old facility need maintenance, sound proof ( you can hear the music), and renovation of furniture. Otherwise, nice place.

It's good to stay over there.

Overall, the view, atmosphere and location are great, But the room needed some maintenance and some employees are not qualified to deal professionally..

The hotel is excellent, check-in was smooth and quick, the room is spacious, check-out was quick. The Italian restaurant serves excellent and delicious food with a direct view of the sea. The furniture is a bit old, but it is clean. The only problem I faced was the lack of hot water for showering. This hotel will be one of the hotels that I will recommend in the future.

Loud music and noise until sun rise; after complaining several times they sent security to the noisy room and asked them to put it off. The bathroom was leaking, air dryer not working; bad smell in the suite.

The room we stayed in was large. It was clean but very dated, tired and worn. There was noise from other guests shouting in the early hours of the moring on two different nights, there was also a dog barking frequently and the music could be heard from the pool area very late at night as there was an event happening. The beach is ok, very small but you are also often refused entry at certain times due to private functions which was very frustrating. Nothing within walking distance of the hotel but easy to get taxis ( expensive) or Ubers anywhere in the city. All of the pool area in the shade from mid day.

Check in was fast. Spacious rooms with outdoor swimming pool and beachside sitting areas. Good sized bedrooms, kitchen and sitting areas. Bed duvet was not made from previous guests and we found hairs on duvet, after complaints to housekeepers bed was made again..unacceptable behaviour. WiFi is very slow almost nonexistent.
