Very friendly front desk attendant ,
They welcome you with the beautiful smile
This I my second time to stay I the hotel , will be back again soon
Restaurant is great food also .
Hotel was good, but the food at breakfast and dinner whilst plentiful wasn't hot enough for our tastes. A microwave would have been useful to allow warming dishes up. The wake up call at between 6-7am every morning from music near the pool was not welcome from my 6th floor room - completely unnecessary...

This hotel was very welcoming and the staff couldn’t do enough to help you and ensure you’re happy and have what you need. We felt very comfortable here. I was not a fan of the buffet dinner, however, they have another restaurant called Kamoon which serves the best Arabic food, all cooked from scratch. We went there every night! Our room cleaner Hasibul was great at ensuring we always had what we needed for our room. Would highly recommend.
Our stay was quite pleasant. The check-in turned into a bit of a process as I booked and paid through Hotels.com and they couldn't tell if I had paid already or not. Once they figured it out all was well, but that took much longer than I would have liked. The pool a beach are well maintained. Their on-site restaurant, Kamoon, has wonderful food. However, don't expect great service while dining there.
The staff are so polite and willl go out there way to help you with everything to make your stay amazing. Special mention to ashrad from the team at the pool, Ahmed and the breakfast team and leakat in housekeeping. There daily helpfulness, warm greeting and smile made the stay.
Property is really good, rooms are good and breakfast buffet has large variety of options. Staff was great and attentive. Will recommend for a first time visitor to Abu Dhabi with Uber you can get almost everywhere and walk to Emirates Palace Mandarin and Qasr Al Watan. Note this is a “dry” hotel so no alcoohol is served or available
Hotel is so convenient to any atraccions in the city , very close to the Bur Khalifa , it has the best view of the city
Services is in-maculate , staff so kindly and friendly, I would love to stay again in the future .
Breakfast buffet has many varieties of food.
The Horison clud staff and food is the best .
Nice hotel but certainly not for business purpose.
Family hotel with a lot of children.
Location is good, room is big enough with a balcony.
Take into consideration a lot of noise from the jet skis and music from the pool if you are staying in first floors.
Breakfast was good offering a lot of choice but crowded.
I've stayed at this hotel five times since 2016. The property is well-managed, impeccably clean, and consistently maintained. The staff are courteous, attentive, and always ready to assist with any issues.
However, my recent experience was less than ideal due to overcrowding at the pool, primarily from a large number of guests which made it nearly impossible to swim. There was noticeable arrogance from some parents, and their children caused quite a disturbance, making a peaceful swim impossible.
Additionally, the behavior and attire of some guests did not align with my personal preferences, diminishing my overall enjoyment. I also observed that the pool entertainer showed a preference for certain guests, which affected the inclusive atmosphere. Regrettably, this experience has made me reconsider whether I would return to what was once my favorite place in Abu Dhabi.
