They have an offer on and it sounds pretty good. Would like some feedback on restaurants etc and is it very expensive once there?

Its on Nabit rather than Cobone.... Its 1 extra bed in the room (not a double I was informed.) They also have a sofa bed that can be made up upon request. Theres also a fine dining voucher for Saffron (the Thai place too) so all together a great deal :) Enjoy

Are the villas one bedroom or two? The Cobone offer says 2 adults and 2 kids, but is it an adjoining room or more like a suite?

Have been twice once in July last year and then end of October The rain forest is out of this world !!!! Have the very best villa have a look at the map ( i think there is one on the site ) and pick the villas that look to the desert they are on the right hand side of the map as they are the most private We have eaten in both but the one overlooing the watering hole is wonderful but remember to book table outside HTH

It is lovely - but recommend you opt for a tented villa as the stone ones are overlooked and the pools are completley shaded (brrr). The tented villas are amazing. Its no more expensive than you would expect really - we ate at the thai restaurant and it was lovely. If you want drinks/food etc at your villa during the day then you either have to attack the minibar or they deliver room service. If I went again I would definitley take more drink/snacks with me for in the villa. We had breakfast room service - again really nice and the same as you would pay at bab al shams and the like.
