The facilities are amazing - three onsite pools, multiple restaurants, and good room size and condition. Had one small issue with the shower but was sorted immediately. All room amenities were excellent, customer service was good, facilities and hotel grounds are fantastic, and is located in my favourite part of Abu Dhabi. Would highly recommend!

Nice place to stay. The cleaning staff were amazing especially A young man call HADDAM he went the extra mile to make a line to hang my washed clothes I didn’t even ask for that was very thoughtful. Thank you HADDAM!The checking in was a bit not too great i checked in on a Saturday morning she didn't mention the different times the breakfast starts and ends week days and weekends. At breakfast there was a young lady called AYE very nice and respectful always smiling . The young man at the water, fresh juice and coffee area was very friendly. The classism there is ridiculous 🙏 others started being nice when they found out I was from America or American,and also a great tipper, the staffs who wouldn't acknowledge me before, all and more kept stopping at my table to ask if i was ok or make some type of conversation it was appalling. Overall it was a great place to stay near places to visit. I will definitely recommend.

Didn't Meet My Expectations
Hotel is unique with some older charm/character. However it could feel outdated in some of the rooms and shower was tiny. Had a screeching noise in my room for hours. Hotel staff came and tried to fix it. After they couldn't they still wouldn't move me. Additionally, asked for a late checkout (1pm). Housekeeping was at the door by 1030 asking me if I was checking out. Normal checkout is 12 so that was very early even without late checkout. Their check-in and check-out process takes way longer than expected also. Even with a pre-booked pre-paid room was standing in line just waiting. Appears it's not electronic and receptionist is typing a lot of information. It is a great location with great views from the rooms and the room service food was good.

Very nice, contemporary hotel with well-built rooms and walk-in showers. Nice views of the water from many rooms. Great private beach area with a great spa. Only complaint is with the gym. It has a good arrangement of equipment, including weightlifting equipment (my priority), but much of the equipment has rust on it and it makes you question the safety/maintenance and how frequently it's done on things like cables, pulleys, etc. Also, dumbbells only go up to 70lbs - would be nice to have heavier.

This is not a property to make you go wow, but neither is the price for this type of hotel. It’s a really good, functional resort close to the heart of Abu Dhabi. We really enjoyed our stay here, we felt comfortable and looked after by the staff. The rooms are from a previous generation, however they are spacious and functional. Try and get the highest floor possible to try and minimise the street racing that was taking place, if you got some spare money, pay for a sea/marina view room which will solve that problem!
