First time in Abu Dhabi. Did a lot of research to find the right beach hotel and was happy with final choice. Would stay at this hotel again. My wife made the booking of a NON-SMOKING room, but we got a smoking room. My wife does not smoke, but I did, so we made a compromise. We would have liked the room overlooking the sea to have bigger window, but not sure if these type of rooms are available. Rather than re-pack and try to move to another room, we stayed put. My wife also booked a room at a higher level, and possiblly a corner room, but again this reqest was not granted. Reception and restaurant staff were very friendly.
