Reem Hotel

Mediterranean Coast


On the plus side, Reem is a hop, skip and jump across the Corniche from the beach. On the negative side, the rooms are straight out of a 1980s how-to-decorate-your-cheap-motel catalogue and are fairly expensive for what's on offer – but are very clean. The cheaper rooms don't have air-conditioning. Prices are for half board.
