Great experience with no complaints. The room was clear and fancy. The breakfast was full of different things like fish and meat. The most important part about the breakfast was the notice of my habits.

Grouting in bathroom needing replaced. Shower head filthy. Shower in the most awkward corner. Room walls paper thin. Pillows like sand bags. Not what id except from a 5 star hotel and there is definitely better 5 star hotels in Abu Dhabi.
The restaurants are the best thing about this hotel. Plenty of delicious choices and lots of variety.
All inclusive is not all inclusive though. Meals are only available to all inclusive guests in the buffet restaurant and snacks by the pool on roof terrace. There is a set menu available at the Itallian restaurant giving 3 choices for starter, main and dessert.. all other restaurants are not included in the all inclusive but they do offer 20% discount
A special mention to the head chef at the asian restaurant. The food is outstanding.

Great hotel for holiday and for business

I spent a week at this hotel as we organised an event for a client, therefore we used both their rooms and conference rooms.

I spent a week at this hotel as we organised an event for a client, therefore we used both their rooms and conference rooms.
Apart from a few communication issues in the planning stage prior to the confirmation of our stay, I must say that I had a very positive experience with this hotel.
Hotel rooms: very spacious, with a wide selection of teas and coffees, high quality bath robe, multiple bottles of water, and comfortable bed.
Conference rooms: the setup was great, and they brought a lot of food along with coffees/teas and juices which were available throughout the day. All the staff were very polite and accommodated all our requests.
Food: there was a wide selection of restaurants (Italian, Brazilian, Irish, Japanese and buffet) which was great as tried different types of food during our stay. Hotel guests also get a 25% discount in all the restaurant.
Service: all the staff members were so polite, always smiling and happy to help. We didn't have a single issue during our stay.
Location: a few minutes away from all the main attractions.
I totally recommend this hotel and I would definitely be staying again.
