Siwar Center Apartments

There’s underground parking, and finding the place on the seaside road is easy. It’s very quiet, with a nice view, and works well for families with children. The pool is clean and medium-sized, and the food is good. The building is a little old, but still in good condition. You need an invitation from a resident at siwar to enter.

The location makes it easy to head north or south, and the mountain road is handy for fresher outings. It’s also among the best places to visit in Lebanon. At night, the fresh air on the terrace is lovely, and gathering or having a drink around the pool is worth it. During the day, you need a swimming cap, scarf, or hat to use the pool. Pets are allowed in rooms but not by the pool. You also can’t bring food to the pool, even when the restaurant has no breakfast, which feels a bit illogical.

The rooftop pool is inviting for a refreshing swim, and it’s always clean and well maintained. This is becoming a nice, quiet family place right by the seaside.

The pool is great, the staff are friendly, and the place seems very safe. There’s no beach access, and the coast around it isn’t the prettiest. You’ll need a car or Uber. For groceries and food, I recommend Toters App, which worked very well in July 2022.
