Nizar Saberi Makes the Difference A True Hospitality Gem at Fraser Hotel I initially visited teh Swatches Restaurant at Fraser Hotel out of curiosity, not expecting much more than the standard experience of a 5-star hotel eatery. But that first visit, about two months ago, changed everything, and the reason is crystal clear: Nizar Saberi. From the moment we met, it was evident that Nizar is no ordinary manager. His presence radiates professionalism, calm confidence, and sincere warmth. He isn’t just good at his job, he elevates the entire space around him. Nizar has that rare ability to transform what might otherwise be a bland or predictable setting into a place that feels alive, welcoming, and genuinely cared for. Thanks to him, I’ve returned multiple times since that first visit, for regular meals and for buffets, because I know the experience will be consistently positive. His attention to detail, unwavering kindness, and ability to make guests feel seen and appreciated is simply unmatched. Nizar brings the essence of true hospitality, he listens, he anticipates, and he ensures everything runs smoothly while making it all feel natural and effortless. His leadership clearly inspires the entire team and sets a tone of excellence that doesn’t go unnoticed. If you're dining at Swatches, you’re in good hands. And if Nizar is on duty (he always is...), you’ll immediately feel the difference. He’s the reason I now associate Fraser Place with more than just comfort, it’s become a place I genuinely enjoy returning to. Bravo and thank you, Nizar. You are the heartbeat of this place!

We've been here on several occasions for their buffet. Consistent quality of food. Today we had their breakfast since we were staying in the adjacent Pinetree Marina Resort. We were pleasantly surprised by the good spread. Food was topped up every now and then, and staff was prompt in clearing used plates. Dining by the window side with sunlight and a relaxing view is another plus point.
