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.
We enjoyed excellent 3 days in this hotel. The room was great, the food excellent and especially all the employees were fulfilling all wishes and were super kind. Of course also the pool and beach very great placed to relaxI. It could not have been better and we will return soon.
