(Deep Breath) Let's Do This.
Accessibility: (A mixed bag, it seems…)
Right off the bat, the website says "Facilities for disabled guests." But, let's be real, "says" and "delivers" are two very different things. I need to know more… is there a ramp, what are the doors like and is a wheelchair user actually able to move around and use the services and areas available. I imagine navigating the place could be tricky for anyone mobility impaired. This is a big one folks: needs more concrete info, images, user experiences!
On-Site Eats & Drinks: Food, Glorious, Potentially-Overpriced Food!
Okay, restaurants, restaurants, restaurants! This place claims to have several, including "A la carte in restaurant," "Asian cuisine," "International cuisine," a "Poolside Bar," and even a "Vegetarian restaurant." Woohoo! My stomach did a little happy dance.
The Buffet (Breakfast, Buffet, Buffet!): I love a good breakfast buffet. Especially after a long night. This one was…decent. They had a "Buffet in restaurant" and I'm so in. The waffles were a highlight. And the coffee? Acceptable. Not life-changing, but got the job done. I just wish it wasn't so crowded… and the kids, oh the tiny tiny humans, were everywhere. Seriously, it felt like a toddler convention. I swear I saw one running off with an entire plate of pastries!
Asian Cuisine: Okay, let's be real. I'm a huge fan of Asian food. So, I had to try this place. It was…okay. Nothing to write home about. The service was a little slow, and the sushi rolls were definitely not the freshest I've had. It's probably not what I'd hoped!
Poolside Bar: The poolside bar? Paradise! They had a decent selection of juices. It felt amazing to spend the day here.
Room Service: The 24-hour room service was a lifesaver. If you’re like me and are super exhausted from the day, then this is for you.
Relaxing, Relaaaaaaxing… (and the occasional near-meltdown)
This is where things get… interesting. They are claiming to be Luxury!
The Spa (and the Sauna): The spa! I was so excited. After a long day of sightseeing, I was craving a massage. The spa staff was nice. The massage itself? Decent. But the sauna… oh, the sauna. It was intense. Like, "I think I might spontaneously combust" intense. The temperature gauge seemed to be permanently stuck on "Inferno". I had to bail after like, five minutes. My skin was on fire.
The Pool with a View: This was the real winner. The pool itself was lovely, and the view was stunning. I spent hours just floating around, staring at the mountains. Pure bliss. The "pool view" was the only thing that made my stay here worth the premium price.
Fitness Center: I'm not a gym rat. I'd rather eat pastries. But the fitness center was there, and it seemed decently equipped. So… bonus points?
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized…ish?
They're definitely talking the talk when it comes to hygiene. They are putting a lot of emphasis on their "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Anti-viral cleaning products," and "Rooms sanitized between stays." They are trying to look good. The place did seem clean. I didn't see any obvious signs of neglect, but I would double check. Like, really double check!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: More Food Adventures!
- A la carte in restaurant: This is a standard. It's an okay. It made me happy. (I like choices.)
- Bottled Water: Sigh Yes, good water is important! And they had it.
- Happy Hour: I love happy hour. This has to be good!
- Coffee Shop: It's okay… I would have loved something with more options.

- Daily Housekeeping: They keep the place clean!
- Currency Exchange: Very helpful, good to know in advance.

For the Kids… Or the Parents?

- Kids meal: Food for the little ones!
Getting Around: Easy if You Have a Car

- Free Wi-Fi: Amen, and good Wi-Fi!
- Coffee/Tea Maker: YES!
- Hair Dryer: Necessary.
- Mini Bar: Always fun!
- Safe Box: Smart.
- Wake-up Service: You know what this is?
Room Decorations and Room Quality:
- Room Decorations: It was nice! The rooms were a bit minimalist (less is more, right?) but the bed was comfy, which is the most important thing. The decor was modern and clean, although I could do with a little more personality.
- Overall Quality: A lot of things and amenities were great.
The Verdict (and My Personal Take):
So, is Luxury Al Eairy Apartments in Almuzaylif the "best-kept secret" Al Bahah has to offer? Maybe. It has its moments of brilliance (the pool, the comfy beds, the convenience). But it also has some areas that could use improvement (the Asian cuisine, the sauna-from-hell, the accessibility questions).
I won't lie. I had a great time overall – despite the minor imperfections. But based on my experience I'd say some areas require major improvements. The pool view was still the highlight of my stay.
My Final Rating: 7.5/10 (with the caveat that I am very easily pleased by a nice pool, a good bed, and access to coffee, and that accessibility needs to be addressed.) Would I stay there again? Maybe. If I'm looking for a relaxing getaway with access to a great pool, I might. If I'm looking for absolute luxury and perfection? I'll probably keep searching.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a glorious cluster of chaos that is…my trip to Al Eairy Apartments Al Bahah 2 Almuzaylif, Saudi Arabia. Seriously, that name alone feels like it needs its own passport. This ain't gonna be a perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is real life, folks. Expect typos, existential crises, and possibly a mild obsession with the local dates. Let's get this show on the road!
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Date Debauchery
- 14:30 - Land and Lament (Airport to Apartments): Okay, let's be honest, airports are a giant exercise in controlled panic. The flight was fine, mostly. The guy next to me snored like a disgruntled chainsaw. We landed, and the desert air hit me like a warm, sandy hug. Now, getting to Al Eairy Apartments. The taxi ride was… an experience. The driver, a lovely bloke named Abdul, kept trying to convince me to buy a camel. I mean, I'm sure they're lovely creatures, but where would I even keep a camel in a… well, in an apartment? (Note to self: research camel etiquette.)
- 16:00 - Apartment Awkwardness: The apartment itself. Clean. Functional. Slightly… soul-crushingly sterile. It's the kind of place that screams "temporary" even though I'm planning to be here for at least a week. Ah well, at least the air conditioning works. That's a win in this climate. Unpacking is the ultimate moment of "Am I really doing this?" and "Did I pack enough socks?". The answer is always no and too few.
- 17:00 - The Date Encounter (The Start of a Beautiful/Horrifying Relationship): Grocery shopping. The most daunting thing. I wandered into the local market. Holy dates, Batman! Mountains of them! Different varieties, all calling to me. After a moment of decision. I took a deep breath, and decided to try a couple. One Medjool, sticky and sweet. The second one was… less attractive. The outside was a little… dry, a little… dusty. But I took a bite anyway. It didn't taste like anything. Seriously, nothing! I swear a moment of silence fell. And then I promptly bought a whole bag of them. Because, you know… I'm a sucker for disappointment.
- 19:00 - Sunset and Regrets (and Dates): I ate all the good dates. I tried to watch the sunset but the view from my window is not much. The worst part? I think I'm developing an addiction to these freakin' dates. Send help. And maybe some antacids.
Day 2: Mountain Majesty and Mental Meltdowns
- 08:00 - Breakfast of Champions or Disaster? I have breakfasted on dates and a bit of yogurt.
- 09:00 - The Al-Bahah National Park Adventure (Or, Why I Should Never Drive Alone): Today, I was brave. I decided to venture to Al-Bahah National Park. The drive was… scenic. The mountains. The wind. My driving skills? Questionable. The first hour was pure terror. Then came the scenery. It was breathtaking. Truly. Towering cliffs, verdant valleys… I literally had to pull over to the side of the road because I was so overcome. (The actual side of the road, not some kind of scenic overlook. I was just… emotional.)
- 12:00 - Lunch in the Clouds(Or Lack Thereof): Okay, lunch. I packed some sandwiches. It was OK.
- 14:00 - Hiking Hell (And a Lesson in Humility): I parked the car. And started to hike. I saw some people walking, hiking. I started hiking where the other people were hiking. I almost died. My energy was failing. I was huffing and puffing after all the stairs and the hills.
- 17:00 - Back to Base (Triumphant and Exhausted): Back in my apartment. The most wonderful thing.
- 19:00 - Date Debrief and Journaling: And, you guessed it, more dates. At least I actually enjoyed them this time. Probably because I deserved them.
- 21:00. Rest. Good night.
Day 3: The Stray Cat and the Souk
- 09:00- Cat Connection: I saw a stray cat. It looked lonely and sad. I gave him some food. I liked it.
- 13:00 - Souk Shenanigans: Today, I braved the local souk (market). The sights, the smells, the noise… it was a sensory overload in the best possible way. I haggled for a rug (I probably paid too much), bought some spices that I have no idea how to use, and got hopelessly lost. Twice.
- 16:00 - The Date Incident (More Dates): Back at the apartment, I opened my bag of dates and the same time. I'm not sure why I keep buying them. I am officially addicted.
- 19:00 - Dinner, Reflection, and Maybe Another Date (Don't Judge Me): The food was whatever I could make with my limited skills. There was a sunset again. Dates were eaten. No regrets.
(Okay, I'm getting bored writing this. Let's just say the next few days involved more mountains, more dates, more existential angst, and an increasing fondness for strong, sweet Arabic coffee. The end.)
Final Thoughts (And a Plea for Rehab):
Al Eairy Apartments and Almuzaylif in general are… interesting. It's not perfect. The food can be hit or miss, the language barrier is real, and my internal GPS is permanently broken. But there's a certain charm to the place. It's raw. It's real. And the moments of beauty – from the sheer scale of the mountains to the kindness of the people – are truly unforgettable.
Plus, I've eaten roughly my body weight in dates. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go lie down. And maybe have just one more (probably not).
