Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable. The rooms were beautifully appointed and spacious, although I had to wait for around 25 minutes while they looked for a room. The service was impeccable, among the best I have experienced in my travels, but I had a small issue with photocopying my ID. The location was perfect, quiet, and ideal for relaxation near the beach. The dining experience, while luxurious, fell short of the high expectations set by the hotel's reputation. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with outstanding service and beautiful surroundings. The rooms, though a bit dated, were spacious and comfortable. The dining experience was top-notch, but the facilities could use some improvement.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms despite being a little dated and in need of refurbishment. The service is impeccable with attentive and polite staff. The location is vast, providing various areas to relax and enjoy the luxury experience. Dining options vary with some highlights and minor disappointments. The facilities are well-kept, offering a pleasant stay overall.
This hotel was an absolute oasis of relaxation! The rooms were kept immaculately clean and beyond belief luxurious, making my stay so relaxing. However, the service seemed less interested in fixing an issue with the AC at night, affecting my sleep quality.
The hotel had a few drawbacks like a delay in room readiness and some dated rooms with a strong cigarette smell, but the service was exceptional and the location peaceful and relaxing. The dining experience, however, fell short of expectations not matching the hotel's prestige.
The hotel is the perfect place for those seeking relaxation and luxury in a quiet, spacious setting. The rooms are excellent, incredibly spacious with a lovely view over the east wing pool. The smart home system is a great convenience, and the room is equipped with everything you could ever need, making it feel like a home away from home. However, dining experiences, especially at the Sayad restaurant, fell short of expectations at times.
The hotel is located conveniently on the beach and offers top-class rooms, though a bit distant from breakfast for older guests. The service was polite and helpful, with minor inconsistencies noted. The dining experience, while good, had some delays. The location is ideal for exploring Abu Dhabi, offering a mix of luxury and local experiences.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a beautiful view of the hotel garden, sea, and the President's palace. The jacuzzi was a fantastic touch for a relaxing evening after dinner. Although the rooms were standard in size, they were elegantly appointed.
Staying at this hotel was a truly luxurious experience. I had the pleasure of being upgraded to an amazing Palace Suite with a breathtaking view of the Presidential Palace, gardens, and pools. The service was impeccable, especially from the room boys who were not only professional but incredibly friendly. The location, although not your typical exclusive 5-star luxury setting, was picture perfect and enhanced by the outstanding service provided by Felix in the Palace Lounge.
