The hotel was gorgeous to look at, spotlessly clean, with great service from the hotel staff; the description on Asia Rooms did not do the hotel justice! The outdoor pools were spacious and the proximity to the hotel beach (which was a small, but properly facilitated area) was a bonus - best of both worlds! The area where the hotel was situated was easy to find and there was on site parking; it was peaceful, especially in the early morning when the only sound was the birdsong! The other hotel facilities, such as restaurants, shops and salons were useful additions to the traveller. I travelled with a friend for a weekend, however I feel this hotel would be equally good for a couple or a family as the rooms have some facilities for catering (albeit on a small scale) such as microwave, sink, hob, kettle, fridge. I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel and hope to stay there when I visit Abu Dhabi again!
