Market Brunch maintains a really big spread of food including grilled seafood, mixed poultries, Indian and Arabic cuisines all in three different drink packages.

Market Brunch maintains a really big spread of food including grilled seafood, mixed poultries, Indian and Arabic cuisines all in three different drink packages. They still have live vocals for entertainment although due to COVID 19 it must stay as solo acts within Abu Dhabi. The brunch staff is always attentive and Nikita does a great job keeping our glasses full and is always pleasant to the whole family! After brunch we often attend early evening snacks and sitting at the outdoor beach bar where Alok takes over as our waiter. Again, awesome crew and awesome food. Highly recommended brunch. Read less

No options were available in the veg food which makes it difficult to manage with the kids around plus 3 year old kid went alone in the pool which shocked us with regard to safety. Would have had a better stay if these were managed

Wow!! We booked the brunch with another couple and we’re just amazed by this setup. First of all the hotel is beautiful set on a nice beach of whitish sand. The staff are all first class starting with the guard at the entrance, he welcomed us and helped us with parking. Our hostess (Nikita) assisted us with our every need. Get there early so you don’t miss the way the food is displayed. Okay, now let’s talk about the food. There is EVERYTHING at this brunch, sushi, caviar, seafood, beef brisket, turkeys, beef Wellington, salads, breads, desserts, pork, and on and on. I’ve never had so much lobster and beef brisket in my life. If you don’t see what you want just ask and they’ll get it for you. The drinks were non-stop and delicious too. There was a lady singing that entertained us for the full three hours that we stayed. Afterwards we took a quick walk on the patio and down to the beach, again the staff were always friendly and helpful. This was our second trip to this hotel for the brunch and we look forward to many more. Book early, Friday brunch is a BIG thing in UAE and this was sold-out when we were there. Read less

As an instruction from my company to go into lockdown, a pre-quarantine accommodation was provided while our me and my staff get checked for any virus symptoms. I am happy to say that my stay at this hotel was most relaxing and comforting at the same time. The bed, linens and provided personal items were appreciated. Housekeeping was discreet and professional and other services like in-house laundry was exceptional. Guest services were a bit slow to answer (or maybe just busy, which is forgivable) and the lack of more international cuisine choices made me sometimes yearn to order fast food from outside. I am sad that i could not get to enjoy its other facilities (gym, beach, restaurants), but with that being said, i hope to come back soon, to enjoy them, hopefully when things get to normal.

Nov 14, 2020 Lovetooprettyforyou Metro Manila, Philippines

I have stayed to many hotels but regretfully, our stay was not as good as it was expected. From the front desk, to the room, until we checked-out. Though the place is very nice. Not recommendable and we were very dissappointed.
