The Palm Suites
Quiet suites, five minutes from Columbia Plaza
About this hotel
The Palm Suites offers a residential, low-key alternative to the resort strip, five minutes' walk from Columbia Plaza for evening essentials without needing the car. There's no pool listed here, so this works best for a family already spending swimming time at Fasouri Watermania and wanting a quiet suite to return to at the end of the day. The consistently strong guest ratings suggest a property that handles the fundamentals well despite the simpler offering. Airport transfers run around ninety minutes by public transport, so a taxi is the more practical choice for arrival. For a family who wants suite-style space in a quieter part of town rather than a busy resort strip, this is a solid, understated option.

Our take
This suits a family wanting a quiet, residential suite stay within easy walking distance of shops, rather than a resort atmosphere around Fasouri Watermania. It's not the pick for anyone wanting pool access back at the property, since all of the swimming here happens entirely at the water park itself.
- ✓Walk to Columbia Plaza for evening groceries or a quick meal rather than driving.
- ✓Book a taxi for the airport transfer given the longer public transport time from this location.
- ✓Treat the suite as a quiet retreat and plan pool time entirely around a Fasouri Watermania day.

Why guests love itAfter the noise and energy of a full day at Fasouri Watermania, having a genuinely quiet suite to come back to made a real difference to how rested everyone felt by the next morning. Columbia Plaza being a five-minute walk away covered evening essentials without needing the car, a welcome break from driving to the park all day. There's no pool, but that was never the point of choosing this one, and it quietly did what was needed.
