This is the second time I've stayed here, but before that, I had gone for the day to use the pool a handful of times. This is a great weekend escape from Abu Dhabi, the service and amenities are wonderful, and its proximity to Abu Dhabi is much closer then some of the other resorts way out in the middle of nowhere. I always love my time here.

Séjour merveilleux dans cet hôtel magnifique sans fausse note. Grande chambre très agréable, propre et bien décorée, nourriture excellente et produits de qualité que ce soit au petit déjeuner, au buffet le soir ou à la carte, le restaurant italien Terra Secca est formidable, bravo au chef. Le site de l’hôtel est superbe, les aménagements et la décorations sont luxueux mais tape à l’œil, la piscine est très belle, le cadre est calme et reposant. Le personnel est très attentionné mais pas envahissant. Un grand merci Aayush, Jessica, Sandra et Ashish pour le gentilesse et leur service irréprochable. La salle de sport est très bien équipée et propre et le spa offre sauna, jacuzzi, hammam… tout ce qu’il faut pour se détendre. Nous retournerons dans ce bel établissement avec plaisir.
