I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The location is stunning, being right next to one of the nicest beaches in Abu Dhabi. The staff was really helpful and attentive, making my stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience was a letdown, as the food selection felt more like what you'd find in a 3-star hotel, leaving much to be desired. Overall, it's a nice place for a short break, but the dining could definitely use some improvement.

The hotel offers a beautiful sea view and spacious rooms, making it a great place to unwind. The service from the staff, especially during our Valentine's stay, was very thoughtful and added a nice touch to our experience.
