Always an exceptional stay

The guest experience

Loved most

  • Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff (upgrades, birthday cakes)
  • Spacious rooms and good room views
  • Great pools and family-friendly facilities / kids play area
  • Many guests praised the breakfast spread and buffet
  • Clean, well-maintained grounds and lifeguarded pool/beach
  • Convenient location for Yas Island and shuttle service

Worth knowing — Inconsistent maintenance response (AC and toilet problems reported) · Inconsistent food quality; some guests found breakfast disappointing or overpriced · Large property size — long walks between facilities · At least one report of an unclean room with insects · Beach orientation/views limited (faces other buildings; not open sea) · Some areas of the hotel need updating; sauna/location criticized by a few

    “Nous avons eu une énorme surprise d'être surclassés dans une suite, c'était très beau. La piscine et la plage sont très agréables. Les buffets du soir et du petit déjeuner étaient très bons, variés et complets. Je recommande vivement la demi pension.”

  • Lovely holiday resort in the quieter part of Abu Dhabi

    “From arrival, we got treated like royalty. Fancy hotel with lots to do for both adults and kids. My son was surprised with a very tasteful cake for his upcoming birthday which just spiced up things as we had arrived. The room, views of the beach and Aldar building is so refreshing. One just wanna keep curtains open just for that view. They have kids club, pools and ofcos beach. We booked breakfast and dinner and was is not wowed by the buffet, so much food and just variety from different days. The quality and ambience is rather super professional with restaurant staff and their chef always ready to give you speedy and pro service. Unfortunately we didn’t do any pampering services from their so clean and intimidating spa and their salon and barber shops but I’m definitely sure their service would definitely slap. The hotel is 5 star for unlimited good reasons.”

  • I will come again it was great experience

    “Room was clean, very spacious, was surprise to see bath tub wind shade that turns on / off by light switch due to my thought this a very old hotel of Abu Dhabi, seemingly they constantly work on upgrading the place. Receptions was extremely nice, she gave free upgrade, I was there to attend a near by event, so dint stay the full day of stay.”

  • Luxury hotel, not far from the airport, on the shore of the bay

    “We arrived to the hotel after midnight. A very kind young man, Eslam welcomed us at the reception. During check-in, the hotel manager Carlos came there, they consulted shortly, then suprised us with a „sweet upgrade”. We did not ask, what is it, I thought, there will be some dessert in the room or something. No. The „sweet upgrade” was the Al Raha Suite instead of our booked two-bed room. I did not believe. 176 m2, full luxy, giant bathroom with jacuzzi, terrace, king-size bed, beautiful and everything sprinkled with red rose petals. We were really shocked, but happy.”
