As Bahrain is a small country, most visitors stay in Manama and the suburbs which offer a choice of hotel accommodation to fit all pockets, ranging from 5-star comfort to family-run hotels and 1-star budget establishments. Visitors ought to be aware that some of the budget hotel accommodation in the city centre may not be suitable for families or women travelling alone as they tend to double as ‘evening entertainment' venues for men.

The deluxe hotels are well represented by international chains with some providing a meet-and-greet service from the airport if sufficient notice is given. All the resorts offer an opulent environment with landscaped gardens, pools, clean beach access and fine dining.
