My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The location was absolutely stunning with a gorgeous view of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, and the service from the staff was exceptional, always friendly and attentive. However, I had a really disappointing experience with the cleanliness of the room which took way too long to get sorted out. Overall, it was a mixed bag, but the location and service definitely stood out.

I had a nice stay at this hotel with clean and well-designed rooms, along with friendly staff who offered excellent service. The dining options were quite expensive for smaller portions, which was a letdown. It was also great to have the beach right there, although the location felt a bit far from the city center. Overall, it's a great option, but be prepared for some high dining costs.

I had a great experience at this hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a lovely view of the mosque. The location was also perfect, right near Abu Dhabi's top attractions. However, the service in one of the restaurants could have been better, and the breakfast wasn't up to par for a five-star hotel. Overall, it's a good value for money, but improvements in dining would make it an even better stay.

The hotel had a beautiful and spacious room with great views, but it did have a lingering smell of smoke, which was a bit off-putting.

However, the dining area felt overcrowded during breakfast, making it a chaotic experience.

I had a great experience at the hotel, especially enjoying the clean and spacious rooms, which were beautifully designed. The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the beach and nearby restaurants. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made my stay even more enjoyable.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The room I booked on the ninth floor was spacious and offered a stunning sea view of the Grand Mosque. The location, while a bit far from downtown, was beautiful right by the beach. However, the service from the front desk was not as professional as I hoped, which detracted from my experience. In terms of dining, there was a great variety of food, but the experience wasn't perfect due to some miscommunications on breakfast.
