Great Hotel
Started off poor as arrived at 09:30am and although I asked for early check-in where possible I was told impossible and the hotel was full. I had to leave hotel and catch a taxi as everything was far. I arrived back at 2pm and a supervisor took my check-in and upgraded me to sea view room (amazing) she was honest (Sally) to say some rooms were not ready as they are being serviced, which made sense, didn’t like how I was lied to originally. Anyway this place is really good, shout out to Cheeka at breakfast and Zahid & Michael in Conceriage who were so friendly. This place is far from anything so be prepared to spend on taxis. It’s great if you just want to chill and get the sun in. I’d go back. Tip Dubai is an hour away and cost £7 by Airport shuttle. Worth doing a day trip

It's a beautiful property. Our room was very spacious with a wonderful view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. However, we were disappointed with the quality of food and service in the restaurants. The breakfast buffet was underwhelming and the service at Mazaj was disappointing and (somewhat condescending).
