Liwa Oasis Vacations from $1,236

Staff was 100% exceptional. They made sure the stay was memorable.

A Truly Exceptional Stay! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect—close to Marina Mall and Corniche Beach (by taxi) but still peaceful and quiet. I can’t recommend this hotel enough and will definitely be returning!

I spent seven nights at Al Wathba Desert Resort, and while the property and service were truly exceptional, the value of the half-board package was a major disappointment. The staff were outstanding, some of the best service I've ever experienced, and made my birthday incredibly special with thoughtful touches, personalized desserts, and warm wishes throughout the day. Special thanks to Asanka, Samikshya, and Ishak for going above and beyond. The resort itself is peaceful, luxurious, and beautifully maintained, and housekeeping kept the room spotless and welcoming. However, the half-board package cost $628 USD per person for seven nights (over $1,250 for two), which felt like very poor value. We essentially paid close to $100 daily for a single meal from a half-board menu that was much more limited than the regular menu, and the inconsistent food quality often resulted in us not finishing our dishes. In-room dining and the standard menu meals tasted significantly better but were not included, so we still spent 100s more in additional meals. There was also frequent confusion among staff about what the package covered, which became frustrating. If I return, I would absolutely not choose this package again. I also had some sanitation concerns with the breakfast buffet, as one section of uncovered food had multiple flies around it and staff nearby didn't intervene. Overall, I had a relaxing and memorable stay, but the dining issues keep this from being a 5-star experience.

Warm friendly welcome which continued throughout our stay. Every member of staff we encountered was courteous and helpful without exception. Management should be proud. Room was very comfortable and clean with all the amenities you would expect from a top class hotel. The breakfast was outstanding. You can literally choose whatever you want from an extensive menu. There didn’t seem to be a limit other than your appetite. The hotel is well situated for all the major sites, an easy drive to the beach and surrounded by restaurants so you aren’t just limited to those in the hotel. Unfortunately we had to call the doctor out, but Iresha couldn't have been more kind and helpful. Would highly recommend for a comfortable stay in Abu Dhabi.

In one of the most challenging situations, with the airspace closed and tens of new customers, the staff was composed, helpful and compassionate.
