“Disappointing.”

Nov 10, 2025simonnicola2002

We have been visiting this hotel since 2016 coming on the dine around package, firstly I must say the staff are always excellent and couldn’t be more friendly or helpful especially the reception and Saad on concierge. Unfortunately this time here there is a significant change to the premium package regarding the drinks, firstly the quality of drinks available is beyond poor, Spumante is all that’s available for sparking wine where as previous years it’s been Prosecco or Cava, a cheap Rose and Chardonnay are the other wine options, I can’t comment on the red as I’ve not tried it, basically undrinkable! To make matters worse you now cannot get a drink at the Belgian bar unless you are dining there and can only be served these poor choices whilst in the restaurants and not after 10pm unless you want to pay extra. There is the Chamas bar you can drink at but it’s indoors where the whole point of a winter sun holiday is to be outdoors. Utterly disappointing probably won’t be returning on this basis alone. Any suggestions for anywhere else in the UAE that do all inclusive packages would be greatly appreciated.
