We live with our family now in this hotel . Clean beach, spacious room, VERY friendly and attentive staff! Separately, I want to mention the gym- 10 out of 10 !!!
On food- even with an allergic child, we can always find something to eat.
From the fact that it is a little annoying - it is necessary to occupy the sun beds in the morning , since there are a lot of guests , and the beach is small .
And the hotel has a cool location relative to the promenade!

A good hotel for a holiday, vacationed in May 2023. Private beach, but in the bay, there are enough sun beds near the pool. The food is generally varied, everything was delicious. The stone has large portions and a stunning view of the neighboring skyscrapers. The rooms are cleaned three times a day. There is no alcohol at all. And the territory is small, there is not much place to walk.

In February 2024, we went on vacation. The wishes for the hotel were: heated swimming pool, first line, accessibility to attractions. Since this is our second trip, we chose Abu Dhabi.
We were 100% satisfied with the hotel.
Arriving at the hotel and going to the reception, we were greeted by the good-natured staff. We arrived ahead of check-in time, but we were found a great room with a sea view.
I would like to mention the food at the hotel, which is represented by 3 restaurants and a pool bar. In the horizon restaurant we attended breakfasts and it was a wide variety of breakfasts, there was a main menu and stations that changed every day: you could go to any one and they would make you a toast from what you want, waffles, pancakes and different types of egg dishes.
Horizon was also visited for dinner. On certain days, the hotel's cuisine turns into Italian, Asian. We got to the Italian-style buffet. It is very diverse and incredibly delicious. There are several types of pasta, you could also come up and ask the chef to cook it for you, a large number of types of cheese, desserts (from a variety of pan cats to traditional Italian Canoli).
On the first day we visited the cafe in the hotel Lobby and were amazed by the portions. They are huge, they took all the dishes for 2-3 people. For such a price, we received a high-quality, delicious dish.
Kamoon Cafe on site: Arabic cuisine. If you want to try something national, then this is a great choice. For 3 people, we paid 310 aed (almost the same as the buffet at dinner(330aed)). Before the ordered dishes, we received a compliment in the form of hot tortillas, olives, hummus and pomegranate dressing. We noted for ourselves lentil soup, salad with Quinoa and shrimp, beef kebab (on the menu these are beef cubes), homemade potatoes and French fries (it is served with spices and is perceived as a separate finished dish). Everything is very tasty! We sat and watched the view of the evening pool. There is also an area on the street where live music is played.
Drinks and coconut were taken by the pool, but you can also have a snack: everything is brought in very convenient trays.
The pool is large, heated, and there is a separate area for kids. The heating of the pool let us down a little - the first days we swam without problems, it was very warm. After 3 days, we felt that the water was not heating up as before.
The room cleaning is great, you can adjust it with a button whether it is required or not. Every day, sufficient water was brought to the room, but if necessary, you could ask for more, tea, sugar, and coffee were added. Everything you need, if you forgot something, is in the room (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, cream) of good quality.
There is a good walking area next to the hotel, past the palace and the Emirates Palace Hotel.
If you are looking for a Mall and the opportunity to change money, there is a Marina Mall near the hotel. You can ask for a taxi at the reception or order a Careem. We compared prices, if they were the same, we ordered a more comfortable taxi.
I would like to mention the staff of the hotel and restaurants separately! Everything is at the highest level. They are smiling, always ready to help, prompt.
If you plan to visit the sights of Abu Dhabi, it is better to do it yourself (buy tickets and get to the place: the Louvre, the Palace, the White Mosque. We took a sightseeing tour from the tour operator and regretted it 1000 times, I assume they are all the same. There was very little time, a lot of haste and in any case there were queues, despite the group. It is impossible to visit the mosque in 40 minutes, view the paintings in the Louvre, and walk around all corners of the palace. If you are offered to go to the date market, do not agree, it was included in the overview (the usual 1 row of small shops like in food city, where the visiting group is taken to a certain store, handed tasteless dates in soy chocolate, given 15 minutes for everything and loaded back into the bus)
We found very tasty dates in the same Marina mall in Carefour by weight (everyone gives a try, do not hesitate to ask). And if it's your first time, then try Bateel too.
To sum up, we can say that we were satisfied with the hotel. The tour is not the fault of the hotel, but I would like to warn you.
This is a great family vacation, which we are happy to recommend!
Many thanks to the hotel, we are very satisfied with everything. It's beautiful and you feel protected. It's like being in a safe harbor!

The hotel is good, 5 stars, polite staff, good food, a little monotonous. The rooms are spacious, the view of the city is very beautiful! They are cleaned every day. The sea, or rather the bay is very close, but there is no usual expanse of the sea. The pool is not bad. Rescuers are very attentive, on duty all the time.
The location is good, there is a small market nearby, you can buy everything you need. From Marina Mall 10-15 min by taxi.

Not a bad hotel.
They clean it every day. Very polite staff. It doesn't bother much that the hotel is not the first freshness, because everything is in good condition. The food is not bad, but it could be a little better ;) the beach is small, there is a spit - the sea is not big. The pool is not bad.

We did not find any disadvantages during our ten-day stay.
The food is a buffet with a large selection of dishes. Of course there is no pork, the country is Muslim, but poultry (chicken, turkey and duck), beef, lamb (and mostly lamb) in different types and dishes. Yes, there is not much choice of fish, but the one that is amazingly cooked. Salads, snacks, pastries, cereals, etc. There was a separate vegetarian table. This is a plus for vegetables, nuts and fruits.
The service is just at a fantastic level. The restaurant team led by Adil is actually something.
The reception is ready to smash into a pancake, but to help. I don't do cleaning at home like that.
The beach is 50 m from the exit of the hotel through the park and the pool, or rather through the pool in a small park.

A nice hotel with a large swimming pool and its own beach overlooking the construction site. Construction is everywhere...it does not interfere, but it spoils the views very much. But the view of the palace from the window compensates for the view from the beach) Is conveniently located to the sights and the Corniche embankment, we walked to the Marina Mall for 25-30 minutes.

A great hotel for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are large, everything you need is there, the mattress is very comfortable.
The breakfasts are good, but monotonous, there are no cottage cheese products.
The territory of the hotel is small, but very cozy and clean. Almost the entire territory is occupied by a swimming pool, which is very carefully cared for. The hotel has its own beach, white sand, there are always free places.
There is a cafe and a shop near the hotel, and you can also walk to the Marina Mall

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟A wonderful hotel. There is a whole mountain of sincere smiles from the staff, I want to leave the room more often to bathe in the attention of the hotel staff.
The food is at the highest level, a wide variety of dishes and there is always a free table for food. My stomach was not spinning, there was no heaviness after eating.
The beach is clean and sandy, the water is divine, there are many sun loungers, you can always find a free one, the pool is also at the highest level. Always free, without any fuss.
The rooms are comfortable, a huge bed, a huge bathroom.
You need to take an adapter for sockets with you.
I really liked it, many thanks to the staff.

Great hotel! We rested from 29.10 to 5.11. Quick check-in, comfortable rooms. If any accessories are not enough, then you can request (toothpaste, for example, adapters). Cleaning 2 times a day, at a convenient time (the guys are always on the floor and ask when they can come). We had Lycot, he did well. The food is good. We took breakfast and dinner, once we only regretted that we did not change dinner for lunch - it was on an Asian evening. Unfortunately, everything was absolutely sharp. You can buy all for one day on the room, while food and drinks will be available only during beach hours, i.e. before sunset. Then it's just dinner and that's it. There are practically no places on the beach and by the pool after 10, after 11 there are none at all. But if you contact the staff, they will definitely post it. Sunbeds occupied for half a day with just a towel are not welcome. And after 12-13 hours, good places are vacated, because families with children leave. The car is picked up at the entrance to the hotel and parked in an underground parking lot, it is very pleasant to get into a cool one. We recommend taking a car: we went repeatedly to Marina Mall, Yas Mall, Mosque, kayaking in mangroves, Louvre. Even to the President Hotel, which is opposite, we went by car, because in the heat of 15 even 15 minutes there was no desire to walk along the road. There is no open sea, but how interesting is the experience of swimming while admiring the towers! We are very pleased with the choice of the hotel!

A fantastic hotel!
View from the window of the Presidential Palace.
The staff is unrealistically well-trained: cleaning + linen change every day, they will definitely come in the evening- do you need anything? Tea, coffee, water, is everything there?
Everyone in the canteen is smiling, trying to please, dirty plates are immediately taken away at the right moment.
In my ranking, number one!

Nice hotel, all inclusive, lots of people. Sometimes we had to look for empty tables in the dining room. A small beach. Conveniently in Abu Dhabi, it takes 10-15 dirhams to get to the shopping center there to wander around to eat local cuisine, shopping, well, it's also interesting for a change. A good budget hotel for cheap)), I liked it

Good day to everyone 🌟
Rested in May 2023)) In general, I liked everything very much 😻
1) The beach is quite small, but clean. If the sunbeds were not occupied until 8.30-9.00, then it is difficult to find them later. It is necessary to contact the staff, they will always help.
2) Super service 🙂
3) The food is delicious, the choice is great ... some dishes are of course for an amateur ... and every day it's the same
4) The location is great, all the main attractions are nearby and visible from the window
5) The rooms are large, high ceilings. Everything you need is there.
6) The territory of the hotel is well-groomed and very small, but there is a large swimming pool (the pool is clean, without a strong smell of chlorine)

A chic hotel. The bay has a normal entrance, so they rest a lot with children. There is a small playground. Probably the top hotel among Russians :)
There are top attractions in the district that can be reached by taxi, on foot. There is a shopping center, near the embankment.
A restaurant with a sufficient selection of dishes, replenishment is commensurate with the end of availability, every day a different style, even at the peak they cope with cleaning and serving the table, for this they are 5+ separately, everyone is polite, friendly. Things are in order and safe.
The girls accidentally left the iPhone on the beach and the staff immediately returned it, even the taxi was returned, there were two cases for a vacation 😄
The country is gorgeous, the hotel is gorgeous. At night I wanted to eat, they brought such big dishes 🫣👏😃
The photos of the rooms correspond to reality :)
I probably didn't have enough umbrella on the shore, we like to lie outside in the heat.
I would come back one more time ❤️
We went in mid-October, it's hot at night, we put on a jacket a couple of times at night, the water temperature is warm, not fresh milk and not icy, comfortable.
There are profitable guided tours. But you can also take a taxi.
The contingent of Russians is friendly, with neighbors and went in half by taxi :)
I didn't show all the beauty. Especially the view from the room is love)

Stayed at this hotel in May 2023. I am surprised by the large number of exceptionally positive reviews. In fact, there are many points when it is difficult to call a five-star hotel.
1. Location. Ambiguous. On the one hand, yes, all the main attractions of Abu Dhabi are nearby: the beautiful Presidential Palace, the Emirates Palace Hotel, the 74th floor observation deck. This is definitely a plus and saves time and sometimes money. On the other hand, there is only one unsightly shop nearby, one cafe nearby. In the second half of May 2023, construction began near the hotel. While the noise is not strong, but how further the question is. Pedestrian crossings are somehow deliberately invented, there is no normal understandable road, you look around all the time to see if a car is coming from behind. There is always a taxi nearby, which is a plus. The Marina Mall is a 30-40-minute walk away at a calm walking pace, and it is not near at all. You can't walk in the heat. By the way, it is described as a tourist attraction, but in fact about nothing. Just a shopping mall. Bottom line: the fact that there are attractions nearby is great, while this area is not a place for hiking, who is interested in exploring what is around except. In general, who goes for what kind of vacation.
2. The hotel itself. They give numbers very strangely. The same category of rooms with a balcony is with separate beds, but is not equipped with a sofa and there is no (!!!) floor covering, only tiles in the whole room. And with a king size bed, but there is already a floor and a sofa. As strange as possible and for the same money, different levels of amenities.
A definite plus: the rooms overlook the beautiful - the Presidential Palace or the pool and the sea, it's beautiful.
Also among the advantages is excellent noise insulation. The noise from the corridor did not interfere with sleep, that is, the maids and cleaners behave quietly, without rumbling (there is something to compare). Neighbors, if heard, then remotely and rarely.
The beds are very comfortable, the furniture is a little old and not to your taste / theme selected, as if Used and put.
Cleaning. They call every day - however, they didn't call the last 2 days before the eviction - they call /knock, ask if cleaning is needed. They give water, coffee, etc.on request, unlimited, docked when the room is cleaned. Change towels and linen without complaints and begging - again, there is something to compare, there are no puzzled or dissatisfied faces, everything is clear.
As for the cleaning itself, it's a hack. There were workers who really cleaned well, the rest (most of them) - a blunder, did not wash the floor or just stupidly rearranged the chair and pulled back the curtains, as is the order of things. That's all the cleaning. This is a huge minus of this hotel. Many are lazy.
The lighting in the room is 2 bedside lamps, one large outdoor and a small one on the table. Everything is kind of sovdepovskoe.
3. Breakfast. They took BB. I didn't like it! Only I liked the pastries. And cheeses. The rest: hot dishes are spicy impossible, to the point of bitterness. There is no choice of hot dishes - the same thing for 13 days in a row. Noodles with vegetables were added a couple of times. Pea soup sour broth, sausage filth from cheap raw materials, some half-baked half-baked pancakes. This is not a 5 star level. Tourists come to them from all over the world, the menu also includes Indian, Lebanese dishes and cooked at the same time tasteless! I think that we should take this fact into account and provide dishes of European cuisine or at least more moderate with spices. Porridge was caught only 1 time. There were no other days. In general, there is 0 variety in terms of food.
4. Territory, hotel services.
There is a gym - norm. The Jacuzzi is small, the spa is also small, some uninteresting. For once.
Pool and sea.
There are 4 pools, with different levels of depth. Liked it. Clean, comfortable to swim.
Sun beds. Everyone writes about the difficulties with their occupation. Not that straight, but there is such a thing. Tourists are engaged in sun beds, put towels, things and do not come for a long time. And you're looking for a free one. But it's hard to find - there were a couple of times, more often there are free ones. Employees on the territory of the pool also behave differently. Towels are given 2 for 2 people. That is, lie down right on the mattress on the sunbed, which may be wet in the sand and from the previous tourist, and wipe yourself with a towel. They begged for 2 per person, they give it reluctantly.
The constant rumble from the trolleys on which the pool workers transport wet towels is a little disturbing, and somehow uncomfortable, still 5 stars, but you listen to the rumble all the time. It is clear that they need to clean up, but then the hotel should think of quieter ways, t to noisy tourists. The beach workers themselves have an unpresentable appearance, some kind of hard workers wrapped up in half-shorts. This is not a question for them, but in general about impressions. For example, at the entrance to the hotel you are always met by employees in decent suits, at the pools - the picture is different. Contrast. I was also outraged by the picture that was observed once: where from 18:30 the beach workers begin to clean everything, i.e. the pool and swim in the sea until 20:00. So, when we were there, umbrellas were closed on sun beds, dust from the umbrella for the day, tree leaves, etc. - all are not sun beds and people's things! As in the order of things.
The sea itself: deep after a couple of meters, it's a little muddy, a small area, but so there in all nearby hotels. Such a place of the bay.
There is one (and only) Kamun restaurant on the territory next to the pools. For four. Chicken shawarma, hummus, shrimp, delicious chicken wings are cooked well. They took meat and fish - they didn't like it, especially meat. There was no smell of the grill, no delicious spices, and in general it was clear from the taste that these were specific parts of meat. The verandah tables are shabby and old, inside the restaurant is more modern and comfortable.
To sum up, there are a lot of pros and a lot of cons! The hotel does not pull 5 stars either in the kitchen or in the repair of the rooms. In general, it is 4 stars, sometimes with a stretch
