Cinnamon Restaurant

Cinnamon is the all-day buffet restaurant inside The Cove Rotana, a resort favourite whose real appeal is the breadth of its live cooking stations and the nightly theme rotation rather than any single signature dish. The dining room is bright, open, and flanked by terrace seating that looks out across the resort lagoon, making it a natural choice for long, unhurried meals. The kitchen cycles through themed evenings - Arabic, Asian, seafood, barbecue - with a continually refreshed buffet and a few à la carte items alongside. Quality is consistent across cuisines, desserts are generous, and the breakfast spread is comprehensive enough to make it the most reliable start to a day at the resort. There's enough variety on any given night to suit fussy eaters, families and larger groups. What lifts Cinnamon above the standard resort buffet is the floor team. Front-of-house staff recognise returning guests quickly, escort families to their preferred tables, and genuinely engage with diners through the meal. For hotel guests it becomes the default; for outside visitors it's a solid-value option when travelling in a group or wanting breadth over a signature kitchen.
