Silken Saaj is the rooftop-dinner pick. The TAJ terrace serves dinner looking over the bay, and Silken puts the airport about 23 minutes away by taxi.
There’s no pool or gym on the page we read, and breakfast terms aren’t stated, so it scores modestly. Our map puts the terminal about 1.2 km off.
Ask for a sea-view room.
