5/5
Absolutely incredible stay here with my wife during the UAE national weekend. From start to finish we were looked after, the facilities were excellent as expected from a hotel of this calibre. The executive lounge access was a great addition to the room we had. It provided all day snacks and beverages and in the evening from 5.30 - 7.30 it had food and alcohol which was lovely and allowed is to fully relax and stay within the hotel for the entire stay. Room service food was excellent and timely. I had the fillet steak, lasagne and club sandwich. Pool and beach were very relaxing and offered the best of both in close proximity. Will 100% be staying with them again. Thanks to all of their incredible team.
