I had a lovely stay at this hotel, situated on a beautiful island in Abu Dhabi with a relaxing beach and great amenities. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the service was truly friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options could use some improvement in variety, especially during breakfast. Overall, it was a good value for money, but a couple of areas could elevate the experience further.
