We stayed at this hotel as a couple with our toddler (almost 2 years old), and it turned out to be the perfect choice for a family vacation. We booked a standard room, which was surprisingly spacious—even with a crib for our child, we had plenty of room to move around comfortably. Our stay was on a half-board basis, which was excellent value. It included unlimited soft drinks throughout the day and two alcoholic beverages per person daily—definitely a great deal that enhanced the overall experience. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel’s buffet restaurant. Breakfast was very diverse, though it repeated itself each morning—which was perfectly fine given the wide range of options. Dinner offered even more variety, with different dishes each night, alongside some kid-friendly staples like pasta, which our toddler devoured. The cocktails served in the dining room were also excellent and really added to the relaxed atmosphere. The kids' pool area was a real hit. Our little one couldn’t stop running around the splash zone—it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The kids' club also seemed great, although we didn’t end up using it much because we were so busy with other activities. The only downside, which doesn't affect my rating, is that the hotel is quite far from central Dubai. I highly recommend renting a car if you plan to explore the city or surrounding areas. That said, the location does offer convenient access to Abu Dhabi’s parks, which are only about a 40-minute drive away. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return. Highly recommended for families! Read less
