Movenpick Hotel & Resort Al Bida'a Kuwait

Nice resort for the kids and family. Hotel is well-maintained. Breakfast buffet includes a lot of varieties. Beach is conveniently accessible.

Booked my girlfriend and 2 of her female friends a 2 night stay from 12-15 May, 2021 for her birthday. Total price 1,500 USD. Upon arrival after presenting her reservation, passport and civil ID she was told that she would not be granted admission because she is not married and the resort is for families only. This is an absolute lie. Infact, the resorts website doesnt state anything even remotely close to this. After going back and forth with the staff for 30 minutes and ultimately refusing to leave after having already paid, the male at the reception pretended to call a supervisor on the phone and then dropped the entire issue. My girlfriend is a black woman and has been treated like this at multiple resorts in Kuwait before. Because of her skin complexion she is immediately perceived to be an african expat and everyone knows that they get disrespected and treated unfairly in Kuwait. She is actually a citizen of the UK. I dont think the resort realized this initially but it is downright shameful to treat anyone like that because of their skin color... Never again.
