This is a 5 star resort on an island, expect a 2hours drive south of Abu Dhabi. Important: call them to know the schedule of the boat transfer. ...Strengths: good service, large rooms, nice garden, pool bar and the tapas restaurant by the beach has a great location and view, very well equipped gym, tennis and nice kids club (without supervision) ...Not so good: the beach right in front of the hotel can't be used due to fortifications against the waves, lack of sunshade at the kids pool, breakfast is limited in choice. To see the animals you will have to pay and overpriced drive for 225aed p.p.+tax - i would recommend there should be family discounts such as 2for1. Overall a good place for a quiet relaxation holiday.
