Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain

What an amazing place! We relaxed as soon as arrived as we didn’t have to stand at a reception desk to check-in, but sit on a beautiful sofa with a juice the hotel had made in a wonderful relaxing area. The hotel messaged us ahead of time to check roughly when we would be arriving. We loved this as it meant we could go to our villa within half an hour of arriving, even though it was early morning. The attention to detail is incredible but not over the top. They have everything just right. The staff are absolutely wonderful! The breakfast team made sure we had a banquet everyday and on our last day presented us with a beautiful cake and message. The housekeeping team were fabulous and couldn’t do anymore to make our villa perfect for us. Special thanks to Mizan and his team for the inflatables for the pool, which made it much more fun and for keeping us topped up with lots of water! We loved that all the hotel products were Eco Friendly, not a piece of plastic insight which made a refreshing change. We had one meal in the restaurant which was fantastic and two in-room meals. Everything was just perfect and thank you to all the chefs who created superb food for our entire stay. It has been years since my husband and I have been this relaxed on a holiday, everything was just perfect and we can’t thank everyone enough for this. Nothing was too much trouble and we really do hope we can return very soon.

A beautiful and clean hotel with exceptional hospitality from all the staff. Special thanks to Dina from housekeeping — I was so happy to meet her! When my room was being cleaned, we had a lovely conversation. I told her that I wanted to travel to Bali, Indonesia, and she warmly shared stories about it. Such a wonderful experience — thank you for the kindness and great service

Our experience at the resort was exceptional from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and felt truly cared for throughout our stay. The team went above and beyond, from giving us a lovely tour and capturing beautiful moments for us, to maintaining our room perfectly and ensuring every detail was just right. The breakfast was outstanding, with delicious dishes presented so thoughtfully. A special thanks to our butler, Ali, whose attentive service made our stay even more memorable. This is the perfect place for celebrating a special occasion or simply relaxing in a beautiful setting.

I had an exceptional experience with Devina in Ycon cafe. Her unique service truly stood out, making us feel incredibly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The coffee she prepared was nothing short of perfect rich, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Devina not only met our expectations but exceeded them, creating an experience that was delightful in every way. Highly recommend her service. I also want to thank Palma restaurant for their excellent service and delicious food, the warm welcome and teamwork from the staff were outstanding. A special thanks to everyone, from the smallest employee to the chef. Finally, I appreciate Raffles for creating such a luxurious and serene environment for our dinner and coffee. Highly recommend both places.👌🏾

We stayed in the one-bedroom villa with a private pool and had a wonderful experience. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Valet parking was convenient and hassle-free. The villa itself was beautifully maintained and offered excellent facilities. There were only a couple of minor issues, such as some of the touch-sensitive light controls not functioning properly. The private pool was initially a bit cold, but once we informed the staff, they quickly turned on the heater. It did take a couple of hours to reach the right temperature, but after that it was perfect and very enjoyable. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant stay. With just a little fine-tuning on the facilities, it would easily be a flawless experience.
