On this stay, guests got sea view rooms in buildings 3-4. The main draw of this Rotana property is the greenery and sea, not the animation program, so being close to the water matters more.
Buildings 3-4, sea view
Garden view rooms in the farthest buildings mean a long walk to the sea (jokingly called "a whole day"), though the rooms themselves are old but decent.
Garden view, farthest buildings

Building 3000

Building 1000 — 3 min to the sea
A group of four avoided booking a "Standard" room type and later regretted it — better to request a Family room from the start.
Family room instead of Standard
If booking a Family room, ask specifically for building 32 or 38 at check-in — guests found these buildings closer to the sea than other Family-category buildings.
Buildings 32 or 38
