The outer envelope of the hotel is a special feature that noticeable from a distance, It is ultra modern and clean hotel, magnificent views to the marina and boats. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The nearby beach is very clean and white sand, a frequent shuttle takes you there all inclusive.

Friendly staff at reception on arrival. Great breakfast spread and staff. Not much to do in the area which was very much a building site. I recommend taking the free bus to and from Yas Mall for meals to getaway from the collection of hotels.

We had a great one day stop over here on our Cruise. It is a small island and it is therefore recomended you go on one of the safaris (which We did not, and We regretted it). On one side you have a lagoon between this small island and the other island that holds the reservation. The Beach has a lot of rocks and makes it very difficult to get in… Read more

On one side you have a lagoon between this small island and the other island that holds the reservation. The Beach has a lot of rocks and makes it very difficult to get in the water, but once you are in the water it is Absolutely delish. There are free Sun loungers and sombrillas all over the Beach.

I hail from Mumbai-India. This review is exclusively for friends for whom hospitality experience is of Paramount importance, planning a surprise, confused as to which is the best hotel in AbuDhabi for couple or family (Jumeirah at Etihad and others from the long list), if you are Motorsports enthusiast and like to stay at the Marina. I had planned a surprise for my better half and was really confused wrt the above factors. Moreover ease of travel to all the parks on Yas island as well as connectivity to the airport was also in focus. Due to my inclination to Motorsports, I selected W AbuDhabi as my choice. Let me tell u, I had so may requests of early checkin-late checkout- anniversary celebration- special requests, etc etc. YAMILE at the reception, the kindest human I ever met who went out of the way to take care of all our requests including that of my partner. We are pure vegetarian and the food at Angaar restaurant in the hotel was very mesmerising and Mr Aari and team again worked to create a surprise by decorating the entire restaurant for us on our anniversary occasion. Mr. Biren at Concierge desk is so informative and he will help you with all the attractions and his quick tip where u can save a buck. The entire staff was very courteous. Quick tip- There is someone racing each day on the track. So no matter if the F1 is not scheduled, you can experience the adrenaline here. On every Tuesday and Sunday, you can ride a bike (also provided by them) on the track for free. So plan your stay accordingly. PS to W- Team members such as YAMILE is feather on the cap. I am proud of W to have such a lovely teammember for which I have planned to visit the 2020 expo with my family and stay only at the W. Read less
