Beautiful venue with excellent service
We stayed for two nights and had an excellent stay. Service was very attentive yet discreet. Pool area is beautiful and the concierge goes out of his way to make the stay a memorable experience. Spa area is good and so is the gym. Only negative is the food which was a bit disappointing, we tried both restaurants and although OK, they did not leave any impression compared to other restaurants in Abu Dhabi.

This stay was peaceful, tranquil and away from it all but still close enough to taxi back and forth to Abu Dhabi for our Formula 1 event. The workout and spa facilities were amazing and we used them every day. The sunrise camel ride in the desert was absolutely a must do and provided us a beautiful experience. We witnessed a 120 on horse raise that was in progress. Truly an amazing and unique experience. I cannot say enough about the staff and management team. Thank you so much and we will be back.

Surpassed my expectations, across 750+ hotel nights around the globe (400+ of them within Marriott Group), I have enjoyed one of our best stays ever. Despite it was a one-night stay, celebrating a family occasion, we needed it to be perfect and memorable, and it was, Thanks to the diligence, enthusiasm, and exceptional teamwork of the entire resort team, I witnessed a fantastic team spirit to make us feel comfortable and well cared for, it was exceeding the highest hospitality & quality standards I have experienced before

This is the second time I've stayed here, but before that, I had gone for the day to use the pool a handful of times. This is a great weekend escape from Abu Dhabi, the service and amenities are wonderful, and its proximity to Abu Dhabi is much closer then some of the other resorts way out in the middle of nowhere. I always love my time here.
