"We loved this hotel. The beach really is beautiful. There was lots for kids to do. I wish they would switch the adults only and family side of the beach loungers around as they have adults only loungers in front of the kids playground which doesn’t work. The rooms are dated but well looked after. The lobby is gorgeous. Check in staff are really welcoming. Food in the resturant was fabulous, best lamb I’ve had! We had a great time and will be back!"

"The hotel is amazing, food was superb but definitely the best are the people that work there. From the guys that work at the beach to the manager they were all very friendly and took excellent care of us. Special thanks to Kirth Nath Jena, Haidy, Mubashir, Zin and so many others that made our stay unforgettable. We hope to return soon. Dont miss their brunch"

"Wonderful experience from check in to check out. The staff was attentive to every detail, from Haidy at reception, to Aman on the beach. The highlight was chef Osman in the Sophia restaurant. Not only is his food phenomenal and beyond expectations, but his kind hospitality made the dining experience delightful. The cig kofte chefs table experience is a must try!"

"We traveled to Abu Dhabi from to Dubai for a little famiky weekend getaway. I was with my husband and two sons aged 5 and 4. The hotel boasts a lovely view upon entry and my husband was immediately helped at check in. We knew the wind and weather weren't going to be great for swimming in the sea but we enjoyed playing in the beach recreation area and the one pool. However, it was very unfortunate that the kids club, pool and water area are closed. We had no idea until we arrived and went looking for it. Staff even directed us to a nonexistent play area. We obviously did not see this mentioned when we booked - or we would have waited until renovations finished. There's currently a makeshift play area in a meeting room with some toys, no decor, and some air hockey and video games for the older ones. The ladies were super friendly - but the facilities left us super underwhelmed and quite frankly disappointed. My kids did not want to stay and they usually love a kids club. Also, when we checked into our room we noticed there was no bathtub. Instead, there was a piece of wooden spa furniture in place of the tub. There clearly used to be a tub as we could see the ground below this furniture, and switches on the wall displaying a no longer existing tub. This also added to disappointment for family travel as kids love a bath! Rita, our butler, was great, we loved the fresh fruit, and we enjoyed the sunset champagne and fresh juice tradition. However, for a hotel of this brand and caliber we were highly underwhelmed and found or holiday disrupted. No kids club meant no adult down time. We know UAE hotels are in need of our support at the moment and we too wanted a break but we found the lack of transparency and the family facilities lacking."
