Al Batayih Vacations from $1,846

Stayed here as an overnighter before a 7.30 am flight home. It is about 5 minutes from the airport. The public spaces are very impressive. The pool area is a bit soulless, but the pool is fine. We ate at the Thai restaurant which was OK but nothing special. Starters and mains were brought out at the same time. Our room looked pretty dated and a bit shabby, but everything worked. Decent option for a stop over but somewhere I'd like to stay in other circumstances.

Very average. More beach umbrellas needed. All inclusive menu very limited and we saw all cocktails watered down. Better options on the Palm.

The hotel was old and run down. The hallway was noisy due to the noisy guests and children running through the corridors after midnight. When call into reception there was no answer. Generally clean and decent.
