Back yet again - says it all really. I arrived in the morning and was allocated my room straight away (I was fully expecting to have to wait until the afternoon). I was then greeted by one of the restaurant hosts like a long lost friend. The hotel is perhaps not in what people think of Dubai style, glitz and chrome - but its staff make it a 7 star

We really would like to say a huge thank you to Elvis. He was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our private tour with Elvis of the resorts and his knowledge was great. All questions we asked he answered. Elvis you made our stay even better. We will return. Read less

Food was amazing and the buffet was freshly topped up and looked tidy every time we went. Lots of pools to choose from! Baby/ young child splash pad was amazing! Travel cot provided was perfect and a good size. Location is a bit far out of the main part of Dubai but there’s a free shuttle service which was very good and efficient! Sette restaurant was our favourite and great value with half board. Can’t fault anything with the hotel we had a lovely stay! Read less
