Last weekend we took an overnight trip to Hawar Island accompanied by the Mason's; Xynia's; Ziad, Narthum & 8 month old Marcel; Marwan, Vera & 4 year old Alex.
The trip was booked and paid for in advance, and judging by the flyer, the Hawar Island Resort looked amazing!
After a one hour boat trip on a modern passenger boat (with Mr Bean dvd for entertainment) we arrived on the island. From a distance the resort looks fab, but up close - very tired and drab. Shabby would probably be the best description of the resort, the food far from great and I think the travel agent in Bahrain did a bit of a number on us - however, we had great company and for that reason had a fun time. The children were particularly well catered for as they weren't as concerned about aesthetics. They swam in the pool, had rides with their dads on jet skis and quad bikes, played for hours on the waterslide, kayaked and generally enjoyed the experience.
