The Art Hotel & Resort

Excellent customer service. Jion was attentive and considerate at all times. He was friendly and smiley which goes a long way. He replenished cutlery and topped up drinks regularly ensuring we were comfortable and well looked after at all times.

The club lounge was fantastic. Jion was fabulous - he is a great asset to the company . Polite, professional , attentive and always a welcoming smile. Excellent food, chef even adjusted the menu to take account of specialist dietary needs. Fabulous!

A lovely experience. What a great location and fantastic food and great service. How we are looking forward to the meat buffet - flames and flavours. Jion made the experience for us :-) We would highly recommend as this is a great opulent experience.

DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! If you want your special day to be a nightmare, then this is the place for you. From the moment we signed the contract and handed over the money, they became impossible to reach. I had to chase them down constantly just to get basic responses. They promised us so much, only to change everything last minute. They told me I’d get access to the hall the day before or by the morning of the wedding, but just one week before, they suddenly changed it to 4 pm on the wedding day. And guess what? On the actual day, they pushed it to 5 pm! How are you supposed to decorate a hall when guests are arriving at 7 pm?! It was a complete disaster. To make things worse, people were eating and drinking in the hall at 4:40 pm while my team was trying to set up! The manager was outright rude and disrespectful. Despite paying for their highest package, which included a men’s majlis, they refused to provide it on the day, claiming that because it was a mixed wedding, we didn’t qualify for it. This was AFTER we paid for it! And the cherry on top? They demanded IDs and names for the vendors ahead of time, but then refused to let them in. My flowers and chocolates were left sitting outside in the heat for 45 minutes! They completely disregarded my instructions and requests, leaving me in tears on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. If you value your sanity, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. They ruined my wedding day, and I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. Save yourself the heartbreak and find a venue that actually cares about their clients. This was the absolute worst decision we made.

Gosh it’s been over a fortnight since we returned from our fantastic stay at The Art Hotel. Unfortunately we’ve been so busy on our return we are only now finding time to write a review… but what a positive and upbeat review we can write! We stayed with you from 3rd - 13th September 2024 on a fully inclusive ( including drinks/alcoholic and otherwise) package - and everything about our holiday was superb. The hotel and its facilities are modern, clean and very impressive. Our Grand Room with sea view was large, well furnished and well equipped. The restaurants available to us (as well as the excellent In Room Dining service) were first class. Even so called ‘snacks’ (available at the Bar, Pool-side and Beach etc,) were a veritable meal in themselves! The service provided by ALL the staff team (Front Desk, Room, Room Service, Beach, Pool, Restaurant etc) was excellent - they all simply couldn’t do enough to help guests - so in that sense it seems a little unfair to single out any individual. We would like however to give a big SHOUT for Grace (Front Desk Assistant Manager). We were so grateful for her help, advice and close attention to our needs - she really went the extra mile to help us. Constructive suggestions..??..not too many at all…but we did wonder whether you were ‘missing a trick’ in that the two ‘All Inclusive’ restaurants available to us (Rosso and Wu) - although serving excellent fayre - might benefit from offering a DIFFERENT lunchtime menu to the one they offered each evening? Overall, however, we are happy to record a thoroughly 5* endorsement on Trip Advisor - with many thanks to all at The Art Hotel for such a memorable and enjoyable stay! N.B. We really did wonder whether some recent negative reviewers had made a mistake & posted about the wrong ART hotel?…. Even some of the FACTUAL content in their description’s are incorrect …. & their evaluations so wide of the mark we really can’t believe they are describing the Art Hotel in Anwaj island in Manama Bahrain!
