You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options, NoHo is great for an evening buzz and will transport you to trendy New York in an instant. Shasha is the hub of entertainment, be it pool parties, yoga or cinema under the stars, and make sure you grab a spot here in time for the sunset views over the ocean. This hotel is a great pick for families, with spacious suites and villas with private pools available for larger parties, and an extensive kids activity programme to keep them occupied, giving you time to visit the spa for a massage to unwind. If you don’t want to simply ‘fly and flop’, you’re only 45 minutes away from Dubai with it’s magnificent shopping centres, water parks and attractions galore.

I am a Dimond Member, came from Dubai. After 2 hours of tiring, drive when reach hotel at 12:15 they said that rooms are not ready and we have to wait. The cleaning takes 2 hours more so we have to sit in a lousy lounge without any food. STRICTLY NOT RECOMMEND FOR FAMILY
