Mövenpick Hotel & Resort Yanbu

We were told that we were the ONLY guests of the hotel, as it was undergoing renovation for the take-over by Kempinski. Despite that, we were treated so well that we didn't even notice this fact. We were upgraded to an apartment due to the refurbishment, and we had a sea view from our little patio. The hot shower wasn't working properly, and we called the Reception, and they sent Maintenance to our room which fixed the problem right away! Everything functioned like a clockwork despite their refurbishment project, and we are sure by the time Kempinski took over, everything will be perfect! We were there only for 1 night, and after a very tiring 3 week-road-trip around the country. So, this review is written on the basis that we are only using the hotel apartment as a place to relax and refresh, and not as a base to do holiday activities. Service, comfort and amenities in the room were all first class, but we didn't use any other facilities in the hotel although we were told that room service was available.

DO NOT FALL FOR THE MOVENPICK NAME. They close the pool at 6 p.m. and it is too hot to swim during the day time. and women/children are not allowed in the pool or at the movenpick beach at all times. Also, the room condition is too outdated, especially the furniture and the TV. You can find much better value in Yanbu for half the price that Movenpick is charging

I enjoyed the well maintained room furniture and nice air-condition, nice breakfast and outstanding service, well maintained toilets and clean in all hotel venues. Great restaurant service and profitional bars team.
