The location is in my favourite place saadiyat island the prime location. The atmosphere is amazing for families and couples so much to do for adults and kids. The beach is the best beach white sandy clean clear water. The rooms are spacious and the staff are very tentative. It's ultra all inclusive everything is included and you also have four 5 star restaurants to eat from. It's definitely value for money, luxurious and 5 star.
