I put a solid 4 because of many disadvantages. I'll tell you about the good:the hotel is large and beautiful. Next to it there are 3 residential buildings exactly the same. The location of the hotel is generally out of the question. You ask where to go and I will answer you Marina Mall, Presidential Palace, Emirates Palace and much more. The cleaning of the rooms is impressive. The staff is very friendly and kind. Let's move on to the cons. 1)On the beach, when you swim or go to the toilet or go to eat, they can take away your sunbed and give it to someone from the British. And I was also enraged that the British buy lifeguards so that they have a place on the beach. 2) not a variety of food only there in the evenings on some days, dinners are made by countries, like Chinese Mexican, etc. I think the hotel is normal for tourists, so if you want to go there, then naturally feel free

The hotel is good, alcohol is not provided in this hotel.
The food is good, the choice is wide.
There is a private beach line.
Nice pool.
For me, the only small disadvantage is that there is not enough space with sun beds for such a number of guests.

I love this hotel so much! We've been hanging out here for 10 years (and maybe more already)... I like everything.. The swimming bay is great, it never storms! The staff is friendly. Every February (or March) We're there!!! Summer is coming soon, and I want to go there again...

1. Good location, beautiful, quiet, peaceful nearby. We had a view from the balcony of the presidential palace. We went on a guided tour before him.
2. Delicious breakfasts/dinners, no shrimp, mango. No alcohol, we brought wine with us :)
3. Nice pool
4. 20 minutes walk to Marina mall. We bought perfumes there.
5. Sauna, Hammam. We went in dressing gowns from the room)
6. We were treated to Arabic coffee with dates in the lobby
7. There is enough water in the room. The cleaning is good. They left 5 dirhams per day.
8. The gym is not bad, we went to cardio.
9. Pizza and smoothies were taken in the pool. It's a little expensive. They paid Union Pay gpb.
10. The only negative is the beach. Very small, crowded. The water was cool in March. We once took a taxi to Sadiyat island, soul beach. It's not bad to sunbathe with a beautiful view for a couple of hours, It's paid, We didn't swim because of the waves.

We rested at this hotel in July 2023. I liked the hotel. Very clean. Room cleaning 2 times a day. They replenish the water every time. We were given 4 bottles for two, usually, if there was not enough, we were asked to put more, without any problems we increased the number of bottles. Towels were also changed 2 times a day. The bed linen was changed 2 times for 8 nights.
We ate at the main restaurant. They never left hungry. There was a delicious chicken kebab almost every day, once rolls, black burgers and hot dogs, different desserts and popcorn are very tasty) the son was satisfied) there is also vegetarian food, if it is important for anyone) we arrived late, around 12 at night. A late dinner was brought to our room. They gave me a small menu. After about 30 minutes, they already brought it. The portions were huge. Couldn't even eat everything)
There were always enough sunbeds by the pool and on the beach. The bay is very warm, there are no waves. The pool is cool, after the bay is the most😊
The staff is smiling, responsive. All issues are resolved quickly. There was only one Russian-speaking girl at the reception. With the rest through an interpreter if you don't know English.
Overall, the hotel is wonderful! I can safely recommend it. And if I go back to Abu Dhabi myself, I will definitely choose this hotel! If you have any questions, ask, I will answer😁

An excellent family hotel, the first line, large pools with clean water, there is a small one for children-rescuers are on duty (with us, my father could not keep track of just a few seconds, as the lifeguard immediately reacted, took it out and only then my father saw), an excellent gym, delicious and varied food, and noticeably different for breakfast, lunch and Dinner. The only thing is that it is not the center of Abu Dhabi, but nearby you can see the palace and a luxury hotel, a 15-minute drive from the big embankment.

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!

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.

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.

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 wonderful vacation!!! The staff is responsive, they settled in early, they were in no hurry to evict, which is very important for early arrivals and late departures! The purity is crystal clear! Everything is new, not tired! It smells nice all around, the beach is shaded, the sea is clean, there is both a shallow and a deep place! The rooms are comfortable, shampoos, soap, conditioner, creams, cotton buds, discs, hats, a bunch of boiling white towels, bathrobe, slippers, teas, safari coffee, water. The food is excellent. I am happy with everything! I will come back and recommend it!

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

I love it!! This is our very first and most beloved hotel. EVERYTHING about him was perfect.
My husband and I went there on our honeymoon. The room is a fairy tale, the cleanliness is perfect, the food is varied and huge, the service is at the highest level. They made funny swans for us and left sweets and a small cake in honor of the event, it was sooo nice)
The beach is crowded, but there are always free places, towels are provided to the pool or to the beach. The beach closes after 22:00, it seems. There is a gym, a restaurant, and basically everything for a comfortable stay. The location of the hotel is 20 minutes from the center. We took taxis everywhere in the city, the prices are + - like in St. Petersburg.
I won't be able to find fault with anything, it was wonderful! If we come back, then of course here!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟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.

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

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!

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.

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)

The hotel left a mixed impression. A good 4, but not 5. The room is large, but the bathroom is outdated. The food is monotonous and not of the highest quality. You can't go hungry, but it's the same every day except Tuesday-Italian day.There is a good local restaurant on site, but the staff is not interested at all. The daily struggle for sun beds and umbrellas. There are very few of them for such a large number of rooms.

We really liked it. I especially liked the service, a high-rise bed, in a dream it is better not to fall from such a huge balcony and of course separate male and female bathrooms with showers in the room))) well, they will also bring clothes from brands to the room for fitting, you can choose and order directly on the TV. The breakfasts are top notch, the restaurant is excellent. There is a funny nuance. They recommended not to look through binoculars and other optics at the residence of their president, so as not to strain the security service, you never know what they will think and do
