Top 10 Resorts in United Arab Emirates,

May 4, 2023 Tonie Szymanski

Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

The hotel is lovely I really enjoyed stay. The only down side is that the hotel is open to members of the public so the pool can be crowded. House keeping was fab and I got good customer service. In Cinque Pascal was outstanding. His customer service was amazing. Also enjoyed having drinks at five Beach at night times. I was very impressed by Manohar, Virginia and Nyasha. Sahil at the pool was also great. Look also took some lovely pictures too.

Disaster

Reviewed By GoPlaces46850751118

My visit at this Hotel was not what expected. The servers are impolite and rude and don’t care about the guests that are actually paying their salaries. Reception was a joke, everyone seemed to be more interested about taking of the personal life than speaking with us. Big manager at reception was so rude and loud. Restaurant was busy but it’s like staff come to only pass the time, we are not important to them. Poor service, dirty beach and expensive prices. Arrival to the Hotel is like driving in an abandoned village.

Dissatisfied and underwhelming stay not a child friendly resort

Reviewed By travelbarbie3

A really disappointing experience after travelling to Abu Dhabi many times we left feeling very deflated at the standards within this hotel. To start with the room was extremely old worn and could do with a full refurb, the food in the buffet restaurant was terrible we aren’t fussy but this food is not up to standard it was cold, unaccommodating for children, flys all around at breakfast, it was so very busy no room to move. We tried this restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner before we made the decision to increase the cost of our trip and upgrade to super all inclusive who knew this even existed but yep for more money you get nice food so consider this before booking and a clean highchair (something that really annoyed me buffet restaurant high chairs weren’t cleaned in the other restaurants they came cling wrapped and freshly cleaned) the other restaurants were ok on first try but it felt like the second visit nobody really cared service was terrible pretty much everywhere apart from the steak restaurant which was lovely highly recommended this one. Everything felt too much for the staff the answer was often no without even trying to find the answer or accommodate the request. Service on the beach was particularly bad. Finished food left to be destroyed by the birds and thrown all over the beach. My biggest problem with this hotel is it is marketed as child friendly hence the reason we choose and the baby pool on the roof is covered in bird poo in the water and all round the sides which I’m my one year old was trying to touch it was revolting and so unhygienic also the smell was terrible of drains by the kids side also I was seriously concerned but the state of the pool the number of broken parts and holes when it’s for small children to use see the photos taken on our last day as this never got cleaned up for the full duration of our stay over 10 days?! the kids pool in the beach area also had issues a part of the suction in the pool had come off and almost sucked his hand straight in which could of been so dangerous the life guard one in particular with attitude was so very unhelpful and unwilling to do anything. Also the view of the building site and constant noise wasn’t very relaxing on the beach. This kind of sums up our experience and this hotel does not compare in any way to some of the neighbouring hotels which are amazing and we now realise the high standard they keep. Try Etihad towers if in doubt you won’t be disappointed. On a positive the gym was good and well equipped. Lobby coffee bar was nice and staff there were helpful.
