Resort nears completion
01 January 2003
Finishing touches are being put to a $26.5 million resort being built at the southern side of the Manama-Muharraq lagoon in Bahrain.
The Novotel Al Dana Resort, which was originally been scheduled to be completed in September last year, is now expected to open in March.
The opening date may yet be brought forward if work on the village theme resort is completed ahead of schedule.
"Right now we are doing the landscaping and by the end of the month it should be pretty much completed in terms of hardware," said Philippe Montaubin of the four-star hotel.
The 174-room resort has been developed by Al Jazeera Tourism Company and features traditional Arabic and Western design
The Novotel Al Dana Resort boasts three restaurants including L'Alize, which is in a theatre-style open-air setting and La Perle, which is a seafood restaurant overlooking the beach. The resort also boasts a swimming pool, three gyms, a private beach, water sports, shops, boutiques and a business centre.
