Unbelievable! 3 Points Al Salama Jeddah: The Secret Locals Won't Tell You
Unbelievable! 3 Points Al Salama Jeddah: My Brain Dump of a Review (The Secret Locals Maybe Know)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups. I just got back from Unbelievable! 3 Points Al Salama Jeddah. And "unbelievable" doesn't even begin to cover it. Forget those perfectly curated Instagram posts; this is the real deal, folks. Prepare for a review that’s kinda messy, kinda brilliant, and definitely filled with my own brand of chaotic enthusiasm.
First Impressions – The Accessibility Maze (and a Tiny Triumph!)
Let's get the logistics out of the way. Accessibility. It's kinda important, right? And I'm happy to report, for the most part, Unbelievable! 3 Points plays along. They have features for disabled guests, an elevator (thank GOD!), and the website says they’re wheelchair-friendly. Now, I didn't personally navigate the whole place in a wheelchair, but seeing the options was a huge plus, and good job for including them. Plus, the front desk folks were incredibly warm and helpful, which, honestly, makes a world of difference.
Internet Shenanigans - Because, You Know, Gotta Stay Connected!
Okay, Wi-Fi. Crucial. I'm a total internet junkie (don't judge!), so a hotel's Wi-Fi situation is practically a deal-breaker. They boast "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Wi-Fi in public areas!" and even Internet Access – LAN. Score! And it mostly worked. Most of the time. Occasionally, it would hiccup. A minor inconvenience, sure, but I'm not gonna lie – I'm a bit neurotic about my connection. Still, considering the price and overall experience, I'm not complaining.
The "Things To Do" Extravaganza: Where To Begin?!
Okay, hold onto your hats. This is where Unbelievable! 3 Points really shines. I mean, seriously, it’s a spa! They've got a pool with a view! Forget about a normal pool – this one overlooks…something beautiful. I spent a whole afternoon just staring at the water and the sky, utterly lost in a moment of bliss. Truly. Then there's the sauna, the steamroom, the Body Scrub (yes, please!), the Fitness center (I did go!), and the massages (double YES). In short, plan on dedicating some serious time to relaxing. My advice? Book an extra day. You'll thank me later. Actually, make that two extra days.
(Rambling Alert!)
Okay, let me get real for a second. I hate hotel gyms. They're usually depressing little closets with rusty equipment and a single, lonely treadmill. But this fitness center…it was actually, surprisingly, not bad. Clean, modern equipment, and a pretty good view. I even used the treadmill! And the foot bath! Seriously, you can't overstate the power of a good foot bath after a long day. I mean, wow. Just, wow.
Cleanliness and Safety - Making Sure You Don't Catch the Coof
Safety is important, especially these days, yeah? Unbelievable! 3 Points is on point with this. They were obsessive about cleanliness. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and even room sanitization opt-out options (if that's your jam). Hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff trained in safety protocol. They really did make me feel safe.
Breakfast, Buffet, And A Whole Lotta Yums! (The Dining/Drinking/Snacking Story)
Alright, food. My favorite topic. Listen, this place gets breakfast. The “Asian breakfast” which, btw, was divine. Seriously. They had an array of breads, the most delicious freshly squeezed juices, and the coffee was decent. And the restaurant, whew, the restaurant. A la carte, buffet, international cuisine - you name it, they had it. I had a steak (don't judge) and I will say there was a bit of a wait, but the wait? Worth it.
(Another Short Anecdote - Because Why Not?)
One morning, after a particularly decadent buffet breakfast, I was strolling through the area, and I stumbled on a cute little coffee shop. I’m talking, serious coffee shop. They made me the best latte of my life, and I swear that the barista smiled at me. It was like a scene out of a movie. Totally cliche. But totally, wonderfully, perfectly cliche.
Services & Conveniences - The Little Things That Make A Big Difference
Okay, the little things. Essential condiments, check. Luggage storage, check. Concierge – yes, and they were incredibly helpful. Daily housekeeping, obviously. Doorman? Yes. They even had a convenience store! It has everything from toothpaste to snacks. This place is fully equipped for any situation, basically, it makes it a great option.
The Rooms: My Cozy Sanctuary
The rooms… well, they were great. They were equipped with everything you needed. Clean, spacious, and soundproof (thank goodness!). Blackout curtains for those crucial afternoon naps, a desk for when I HAD to work, and a refrigerator to keep my water cold. I will say the bed was hard. I like a soft bed! But that's a personal preference, and honestly, after a day at the spa, I could have probably slept on a pile of rocks.
For the Kids (or the Kid in You!)
They offered a babysitting service, so if you are parents just take note of this. The hotel seemed pretty family/child friendly overall.
Getting Around – Because You Can’t Stay Cooped Up Forever
Airport transfer? Check. Taxi service? Check. Free parking? Check (I love free). They’ve got you covered.
Quirks, Imperfections, and the Truth!
Okay, no place is perfect, right? The lighting in the hallways was a little dim, I had to ask for extra towels (they brought them immediately), and sometimes the elevator took a while. And I wish the bed was softer! But honestly? Those are minor quibbles in the grand scheme of things. This place oozes charm and gives you a solid value. Plus, you get that ‘secret spot’ vibe, like you’re in on something exclusive.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re about to wade into the delightful chaos that is a trip to Three Points Al Salama in Jeddah. Get ready for a travel itinerary that's less organized spreadsheet, more slightly manic, slightly caffeinated memory. This is gonna be messy, but hey, isn't life beautifully messy?
THREE POINTS AL SALAMA: A MESSY, LOVING, PRETTY GOOD TRIP (AKA, MY JEDDAH ADVENTURE)
Day 1: Arrival and… Immediate Regret (Kidding! Ish!)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM, if I can actually wake up): The red-eye flight. Let’s be honest, I’m already picturing myself looking like a deflated whoopie cushion when I arrive. Ugh. Airport rituals: Pray to the luggage gods that my suitcase doesn't end up in Ulaanbaatar. Grab a terrible airport coffee (because, tradition!).
- Late Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Arrival in Jeddah! Heat. So. Much. Heat. Okay, maybe the red-eye wasn't that bad. Smooth immigration process (thank goodness!). Taxi to Three Points Al Salama. First impressions? Clean, modern, slightly sterile. But hey, I’m grateful for air conditioning! Check-in. Is my room actually haunted? (Just kidding! Probably.)
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Food. Must find food immediately. Hit up a nearby restaurant suggested by the hotel (the helpful staff is a win!). Tried some authentic Arabian breakfast, which was… an experience. Delicious, yes, but also left me wondering if I’d just eaten a small cloud of spices. The first sip of that Arabic coffee? Bliss. Pure, dark, caffeinated bliss.
- Evening (3:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Okay, the jet lag is kicking my butt. Forced power nap (which turned into a five-hour coma – glorious!). Finally pulled myself together and went for a quick stroll to orient myself. The neighborhood seemed lively and bustling, but, to be honest, the extreme heat was overwhelming, so I retreated back to the hotel before much longer. Dinner at the hotel. It was ok, but I was dreaming of the spicy food I saw earlier.
Day 2: Exploring, Sweating, and Slightly Panicking
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Tried, and I mean tried, to wake up earlier to beat the heat. Nope. Slept in. Oops. Breakfast. Okay, hotel breakfast is getting a little monotonous. Decided to be adventurous and attempt to navigate the streets. (Google Maps is my friend, right?). My first attempt to hail a taxi was a disaster. "Where am I going? What am I doing? How much should I pay?" I was a mess. Found a driver who understood my frantic point-and-wave method and found a local market. WOW. The sights, the smells, the chaos! I bought a few too many dates and spices and probably paid way too much because I clearly had "tourist" stamped on my forehead.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Cooling off at the hotel again. Siesta time! Because the heat. It's intense. Watched some TV (which, with all the language differences, felt almost like a completely different genre of entertainment). Got some work done (the things you do when you're traveling).
- Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Decided to be brave and go to the Corniche! It was slightly cooler, and the views were stunning. The Red Sea looked beautiful, the air was finally breathable! Ate dinner at a seafood restaurant overlooking the water. The food was delicious! The bill? Slightly shocking, but hey, travel memories, right? Tried to walk along the Corniche, but my feet were killing me so, back to the hotel. Bed.
Day 3: The Old City and My Existential Crisis
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Okay, today is the day! The Old City! I'd read all the travel blogs, watched the YouTube videos. Time to immerse myself in culture. So I hired a driver (because by now, I was terrified of the taxis), and off we went. The architecture, the winding alleyways, the souk! SO much history. SO many people. It was beautiful, but overwhelming. I got a bit lost (surprise, surprise), and temporarily convinced myself that I'd left my phone in a taxi. A quick shot of absolute panic. Found it (thank goodness!), and spent the next hour trying to de-stress with a cup of Arabic coffee.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch in the Old City. I ended up at the local restaurant because that one smelled amazing! It was an amazing taste adventure. This time, I ordered everything. Felt the heat!
- Evening (4:00 PM - Late): Back to the hotel. Exhausted, but satisfied. Did a final bit of shopping. This trip has been much of a test.
Day 4: Departure (and a Deep Sigh of Relief)
- Morning (Sometime): Final breakfast. Last frantic packing. Double-check for passport (you know, just in case!). Check-out.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Back to the airport. More airport coffee. More waiting. Reflecting on the trip – the good, the bad, the "oh my god, I can't believe I did that" moments.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Plane takes off. Bye Jeddah! I had an amazing time but am ready to leave for now. I will visit again.
Final Thoughts:
Jeddah was an adventure. It was hot, hectic, and occasionally confusing. But it was also beautiful, fascinating, and full of experiences I'll never forget. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I be better prepared next time? Probably not. That's part of the fun, right? Now, time to go home and unpack all those dates and spices… and start planning my next escape!

Unbelievable! 3 Points Al Salama Jeddah: The Secret Locals Won't Tell You (Because They Think You're Too Clueless)
Okay, spill. Why "Unbelievable"? Is this just clickbait?
Alright, alright, settle down, Karen. Look, "Unbelievable" isn't just for show. That's what I thought when I *finally* stumbled into this place. I mean, it looks like a hole-in-the-wall... a *glorious* hole-in-the-wall, mind you. But the food? The *vibe*? It hit different. It's the kind of place you tell your bestie about and then immediately regret it, because you don't want *everyone* knowing about it. So, yeah, kinda clickbaity, but it's also... true. Prepare to have your perception of Jeddah food blown. And yes, I’m now one of those gatekeepers… sorry, not sorry.
So, like, what *is* it? Is it a restaurant? A bakery? A portal to another dimension filled with deliciousness? (Asking for a friend).
Okay, portal to another dimension is probably a *slight* exaggeration. It's a restaurant, my friend. A *humble* restaurant. Think no-frills, slightly chaotic, and utterly, undeniably, mouthwatering. It's located in 3 Points Al Salama, which also houses a few other shops, but this is *the* reason to go. Don't expect fancy tablecloths or waiters in bow ties. Expect to be immersed in the best kind of chaos – the kind centered around really, really good food. Seriously, forget about the bowties, they're overrated.
You mentioned "secrets." What juicy insider info do you have? Don't be stingy!
Alright, here's the deal. *First*, go early. Like, before the lunch rush even thinks about rumbling. The good stuff goes fast. Trust me, I learned this the hard way... multiple times. *Second*, the menu is in Arabic. This is where you get to look like you didn't just fall off the tourist bus. Don't be afraid to awkwardly point and mumble something resembling a request. The staff are used to it (and secretly amused). *Third*, the Shawarma. Oh, the Shawarma. Order *two* (at least!). Seriously. Don't be shy, and go for the spicy one if you dare. And after you get your shawarma… hang around. Observe. Soak up the atmosphere. Watch the locals. It’s a masterclass in casual dining.
Shawarma, huh? Is that *all* they have? I'm a diverse eater, you know.
Okay, Mr. or Ms. "Diverse Eater." No, it's not *just* shawarma. Though, let's be honest, you could survive very happily on *just* the shawarma here. They have other things! I can't even *pronounce* half of them. There's grilled stuff, dips, salads – the usual suspects of Middle Eastern cuisine. But honestly? The shawarma is the star. It’s like, the *reason* for everything else. It's the sun, and the other dishes are planets orbiting it. And don't @ me if you think I'm wrong. Just try the shawarma. Then come back and tell me I'm wrong. I’m betting you won’t.
Let’s talk about the *vibe*. Is it… clean? Is it loud? Is it kid-friendly? (My toddler is a tiny, adorable chaos agent.)
Clean? Reasonably so. It's street food, not a Michelin-starred establishment. But it's clean enough, trust me. The noise level? Brace yourself. It’s vibrant. People are talking, laughing, yelling (in a friendly way), and the sizzling of the grill is a constant soundtrack. Kid-friendly? Yeah, mostly. Expect a little chaos. Which, if your toddler is also a tiny chaos agent, might actually be perfect. They probably won't even bat an eye. My friend took her three rambunctious kids there, and they *thrived*. Just keep an eye on them and maybe pack some wet wipes. And expect to be the one who is a bit frazzled, not the kids. That's the way of the world, and especially the way of 3 Points Al Salama.
The *One True Experience*. The one you haven't forgotten. Give me the juice!
Alright, buckle up, Buttercup. This is the story of the day I almost *lost it* over the shawarma. I arrived late-ish - around 1 pm - and the place was packed. I mean, shoulder-to-shoulder, people crammed against the counter like sardines in a can. My stomach was rumbling a national emergency. I managed to squeeze my way to the front and finally, FINALLY, got my order in. Two spicy shawarmas, extra garlic sauce. I waited. And waited. And sweated. And the hunger started to turn to a weird kind of… rage. I spotted my shawarmas finally being made, glistening like the culinary jewels they are. And then... disaster. The guy in front of me, this absolute *behemoth* of a human, swooped in and grabbed both of them. I was horrified. I swear I let out a little whimper of despair. The look in his eyes... he *understood*. He offered to share! The most epic, perfect shawarma experience was now a shared experience. It bonded. It was… Unforgettable. The lesson: be bold. And prepare to share. And never ever, ever go late for those shawarmas.
Okay, I'm getting the picture. Anything else I should know before I go in? Like, parking? Or what to wear?
Parking? Good luck. It's Jeddah. Expect to circle the block a few times. Wear whatever you're comfortable in. I’ve gone in everything from jeans and flip-flops (my usual attire) to a slightly fancier dress (for the heck of it). Just be prepared to smell like delicious grilled meat for the rest of the day. And for the love of all that is holy, bring cash. They might take cards, but cash is king in these situations. Also, don't be afraid to try new things, be willing to wander, and accept the chaos. Embrace the deliciousness. You won't regret it. Maybe. Possibly. Okay, you *will* regret it if you don't go. So go. Now.
Alright, you've convinced me. Where exactly is this magical place? Gimme the address! (And maybe directions for a dense, directionally-challenged person?)
Okay, here you go, you beautiful, hungry human! You can find the Google Maps location, but honestly, you might as well just follow the smell of grilling meat. 3 Points Al Salama, Jeddah. Look for a cluster of shops.Urban Hotel Search
