Family hotel
Nice hotel but certainly not for business purpose. Family hotel with a lot of children. Location is good, room is big enough with a balcony. Take into consideration a lot of noise from the jet skis and music from the pool if you are staying in first floors. Breakfast was good offering a lot of choice but crowded.

Mixed feelings
I've stayed at this hotel five times since 2016. The property is well-managed, impeccably clean, and consistently maintained. The staff are courteous, attentive, and always ready to assist with any issues. However, my recent experience was less than ideal due to overcrowding at the pool, primarily from a large number of guests which made it nearly impossible to swim. There was noticeable arrogance from some parents, and their children caused quite a disturbance, making a peaceful swim impossible. Additionally, the behavior and attire of some guests did not align with my personal preferences, diminishing my overall enjoyment. I also observed that the pool entertainer showed a preference for certain guests, which affected the inclusive atmosphere. Regrettably, this experience has made me reconsider whether I would return to what was once my favorite place in Abu Dhabi.

My kids loved the pool area, which was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the staff were helpful. We had an excellent view from our balcony. Check-in took longer than we'd have preferred, but we showed up a little early. Also, they gave us a free room upgrade.

Although it’s a nice hotel, it’s not good for singles. Both the beach and the pools were always full of children. It should be advertised as a family hotel.
