First time in Beirut, and the staff here took care of me and made me (and most importantly my wife) feel safe, secure and comfortable. We liked it so much we extended our stay an extra night and they went out of our way to accommodate us and help us change our flights. Shout out to the whole staff from the front desk to the bar to the restaurant. They helped us arrange everything from airport transfers to tours. Highly recommend Baalbek (don't miss it!) and the old souk in Sidon. If you are short on time the Byblos/Harissa/Grotto tour is something you can skip -- not nearly as impressive or special, especially be if you've seen other caves before. Go to Lebanon, you will not regret it!
