The staff were very attentive and helpful. On arrival, we realised our agency had made a mistake and booked the wrong date for the check-in (booked the 22nd instead of the 21st). We were a bit desperate, but Jano and Simeon at reception, as well as Ali the operator, were very helpful. Ali called the manager to help us out. Farouk, the manager, came personally to reception to assist us and sorted a deal for us. Lifesaver! Asmita, the housekeeper, was really efficient and supersmiley! The staff at the restaurant were supreme, very attentive to the minimum detail. We were surprised that despite having so many guests, they were able to remember our room number by heart. It is a big hotel but there is a friendly, warm service. Nice venue. Excellent restaurants with an amazing buffet( really good food and great variety of Western and Arabic). Swimming pool, sauna , jacuzzi. Nice, clean, and spacious room.…

Still exhausted after being kept awake by a 200 decibels "private" party at the pool outside my room. Disrespectful and unprofessional to long term guests. sliding from a 5 stars hotel to a sports bar/bus tours outlet.

The breakfast buffet and dinner had good quality local and international options which I really enjoyed, the pool, sauna and plunge pool were very welcome and rejuvenating and included with our stay, and all staff were unfailingly polite and accommodating. We arrived at the hotel earlier than expected and the staff management were able to accommodate us and take the stress out of the situation. Thank you to Farouk and your team.

We came to this hotel from Iran and we chose it by chance, considering the very reasonable price, we thought it would not be a good hotel, but it was great, the location of the hotel is excellent, the rooms are clean and spacious, the staff is very friendly, especially Hadi in the hotel restaurant, the breakfast is acceptable. ... everything was great, I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Check in was fine, and was upgraded to a suite which sounded marvellous. I specifically stated I needed a quiet room as I was on business and needed sleep for the next day. Unfortunately there is a very noisy nightclub that is part of the hotel, that is only a few floors below the room I was allocated and it did not finish til gone 3am. So no sleep. Then next day I got 2 calls whilst at work, one asking if I had checked out, another advising I had to pay another 20AED as they had billed me wrong on check in.. So not only no sleep, but impact my work the next day. If they cant manage basics like this what else is wrong. As a loyalty member not the experience Ive had at others.
