Overall, my stay at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort, Al Waha was enjoyable, especially with my family. The lazy river and kids club kept my children entertained. though the hotel is showing signs of wear and tear and the pricing for dining was quite steep. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but there are certainly some areas for improvement.

While the family-friendly atmosphere and excellent buffet made for enjoyable dining experiences, I felt the service could have been more attentive, especially considering the cost. Additionally, the facilities need some upgrades to truly reflect a five-star experience.
