Really struggling with all 5here reviews. Visited two nights ago on a Thursday. Have to say it was 7nderwhelming. The place felt dead. The bars were empty. Not really much to write home about. Maybe it’s better during the cooler months or when there is a big event on but on the basis of my first visit I won’t be rushing back

Couldn’t really see what the hype was from reviews. Maybe we have chosen to visit at the wrong time of the year. It was dead, no atmosphere whatsoever. Plenty of restaurants to choose from but not much else to do.

This place is known mostly for the event such as F1 Race - Ferrari Car racing activities where known Car Racers are competing. World Class park for event like this and also this park is where fun runs are being celebrated for a cause.

Modern and very clean marina. Good choices for places to eat and drink. At night, there are different colours and types of lights throughout the marina which reflect beautiful on the water. Food and drinks are overpriced, some bars and restaurants offer "happy hour" tho.

Recently attended the F1 Grand Prix here and it is an excellent circuit venue. We were staying in Dubai so took a taxi to and from the venue at a cost of between 150 to 175 AED one way which if there is 4 or 6 of you is very reasonable. Best to look for the official taxis of Dubai or Abu Dhabi that way you will get a metered rate. On arrival you can either get dropped at one of the car parks and take a shuttle to the main entrances. Or you can ask your taxi to take you to the main entrances. For the Hill tickets its the West entrance and gate 18.
We had tickets for the Hill to watch the Grand Prix and it is perfect viewing as you are able to see the care exit the pit lane in to turn 2 and 3 and then all the way to turn 10. The best viewing spots are to the left of the hill where there is also a big screen but it does fill up quick. The fly over on the saturday and sunday before the racing was awesome. The food and drink selection is fine but pricey. A Heineken will cost you 45 AED and you cannot take it out of the drinking zones. Its worthwhile going around midday as there are plenty of things to do and try including being a pit stop crew.
It was my first F1 race but won't be my last.

Beautiful location with many options for a meal and a drink. The only big issue is the parking! Since there's no valet, you will have to park far and take a walk which is not easy when it's hot and you have to wear a mask!

We got a taxi from our hotel which is only nearby just to check the marina out. It is only quite small about 8 restaurants to choose from to eat. There was a play area for the children but considering the attention to detail just about everywhere else in Abu Dhabi the play area had a raised part in the middle which children kept tripping up over and the tyre swing was ripped. I’m nit picking but you just don’t see anything out of place anywhere else.
Some nice boats and yachts and the formula one track was open with cyclists and runners so we had an enjoyable walk around but not very much else happening in the area.

Just want a sun holiday and relax close to beach no tours
Written September 18, 2019
Hi,
Yas Marina is a marina with lots of leisure, recreational and dining options onsite. We are not a hotel and we don't have a beach. But, we do have plenty of watersports, like sailing, rowing, wake boarding and wake surfing. We also have a Pearl Diving tour onsite.
So, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and UAE winter weather before having a meal at 1 of our 10 restaurants.

Is Abu Dhabi very different to Dubai ? Are there plenty of cafes and bars near the hotels etc. Been to Dubai but not to Abu Dhabi. Any advice would be very helpful. We are thinking of going there next November. Thanks
Written May 14, 2018
Hi Ralph,
You might want to drop by Yas Marina on Yas Island when you visit Abu Dhabi. It is conveniently located near hotels and other Yas attractions like Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros World to name a few.
If you're visiting in November, Yas Marina is the best place to celebrate the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The marina will be showcasing an electric atmosphere with a weekend-long array of culinary experiences, providing something for everyone from breakfast and dining throughout the day, to insta-worthy sundowners and glamorous parties into the night.
Abu Dhabi is a wonderful place to explore the culture and traditions of the UAE with local attractions such as the Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Hosn, Emirates Palance amongst many. Rest be assured, there are a significant number of dining & nightlife outlets that offer a varied culinary experience.
Happy to help answer any other questions.

What's the dress code for men in the evenings? Smart shorts? Thanks x
Written January 21, 2017
Hi Claire,
It depends which restaurant you are planning to visit in the evening. Shorts, t-shirts/ polos are perfectly fine for more casual restaurants like Diablito, Stars N Bars, Aquarium, Café D'Alsace and Diablito. However, you will both want to dress up a bit more for Iris or Cipriani.
During the day and early evening it is very casual at the marina with lots of people coming from water sports activities.
Hope that helps,
Best
