First of all the location is great. Its across the gold mart in kuwait city center. I also has alot of local bazzaar shops. I found a place that sold Italian wool pants and shirts for a great price! 2 KWD for the shirt and 3 KWD for pants (wool). There are lots of other restaurants around. There was a great japanese reaturant , a 60's type burger joint, French pastrie shop, Chinese restaurant, Middle eastern Shwarma and Kabob place, and a filipino restaurant.
If you want to go to a big mall i.e. Sharq or Marina its a 2 KWD taxi ride but as I said the driver gave me a ride there. It is close to the water front and the Kuwait towers. Its a 3 KWD taxi ride to Avenues mall.
The pool i didnt get to try but I will this time. The restaurant is excellent! and the rooms WoW! There is a small gym so you can work out if you want to. The view of my room showed Kuwait downtown not bad but I think if you get a ocean fron facing room it would be nice!
