“Good hotel”

Hotel is very good,as advertise it.

“Excellent place to stay, lots to do”

First impression very good, we arrived at 9am and were able toaccess our room by10am which was good as we only had 3 dyas available to meake the best of. The concierge especially were very helpful in organising our trips and days out. Lovely grounds so much to do but have to book popilar events such as horse riding very early as they can be booked up quickly. Food was good ate in once but also went to the Burj which was an experience but costly. Would recommend even for kids as the hotel has lots of activities and the cool breeze at the beach is relaxing. The sea water is warm and not too deep.

“Would go back”

The hotel has free shuttle service for shopping but transportation for the airport was expensive. The hotel will not let you bring in outside food or drinks this includes drinks and snacks for the room, and there's were very expensive. On the weekends the hotel opens the pool areas up to the public for a fee and during those times it is hard to find a chair around a pool. The staff were very nice. Rooms very nice bottled water provided free. Would stay again.

“hotel room”

The hotel was good, except the room was small. but, i have recommended to my friend's

“Good for sitting by the pool”

A big resort hotel outside Dubai city (a £12 taxi ride). It was fine for what we wanted - a week sitting by the pool. The outside areas were a little run-down though, although the gym was fantastic. I'd definitely reccommend buying breakfast with the room booking, it worked out much more expensive otherwise and there is nowhere nearby to eat at all. The hotel has a couple of restaurants, but some of these operate on a buffet system which works out super-expensive.

“Perfect for relaxing break”

The hotel is a little way out from the main area of Dubai, and has very little around it, making it perfect for those seeking a pure sunshine break with pools, nice food and the sea, as opposed to the sights and sounds of Dubai generally. We were there for a week with our 7 month old (there is baby sitting, but note only for children 1+) and a cot was provided, + baby goody bag. There's enough variety of restaurant to keep you satisfied for a week. Staff in the buffet restaurants couldn't have been nicer. The only slight complaint was the friendliness of the staff at the lunchtime beach cafes was a bit mixed, and it was quite hard to find someone to take an order from the sun lounger.  There is a fabulous private beach, that compares very favourably to Jumeria Beach, because it is so much cleaner. The aspect is out across a an expanse of sea to one of the arms of a new Palm that is being built. There's some construction going on on that that is a bit unsightly, but it is sufficiently far away that there is no noise and not really an issue. The grounds of the hotel are lovely, with 3 great pools and pleasant gardens to walk in in which Peacocks roam free, which is great for the kids. There is also a small marina which a bar looks out over. Overall a very comfortable hotel with a great array of amenity, perfect for a pure hotel/relaxation based holiday. Ps we were all inclusive, not sure whether that saved us money or not, but it took the stress out of ordering food/drink

“Disappointing”

This hotel appears to be great for families, but for myself and my husband it was very disappointing. The hotel claims to be 5 star, but I don't think it's worth the money - especially as the rooms were very small (as are the balconies). Unfortunately the hotel is a bit too 'resorty' for my liking - I'm not keen on people trying to sell me boat dinner cruises and join in evening entertainment. It was also not a very relaxing atmosphere as it was very busy and especially noisy at night. Therefore we took advantage of the shuttle buses into the malls and ate out every night. The location is very isolated, which is great if you want to spend all your time there, but I was looking for a bit more than that. Not a hotel I will be going back too, which is disappointing.

“Good Service but small rooms and in the middle of no where”

the hotel and staff were good. My only qualms were the rooms were very small for a 5 star and the hotel is a long way from anywhere. If you want to get away and stay full time at the hotel it is good. But don't expect to see Dubai without some fairly long trips.

“not impressed at all.outside of dubai and nothing to see around”

very old.
