All I can say is that we had such an amazing time staying here. The hotel was sparkling clean, everything you need you will find here. The staff was so helpful and we also enjoyed some time on the rooftop pool. Its very close to the downtown area so location is perfect. You wont be disappointed with your stay here.

Property has nice view and rooms are clean. For a large family, getting rooms on a single level might be a struggle and also moving across rooms if not on same floor is a struggle. Alley leading to rooms has a carpets that smell musty. Restaurants are good and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with some quirks.

Excellent-awesome

Amazing… beyond our expectations. They ensured we got an early check-in since one of the kids wasn’t feeling well. The rooms were adjoining, which was perfect for our family. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the staff were incredibly friendly, from booking taxis to assisting us at the concierge. We’ll definitely choose a First Collection hotel on our next trip to Dubai.

1. Very SLOW check in (I told receptionist I had 15 hours flight), 2. even with 2 concierges you can’t get any help, they only talk … useless. 3. I was late for a booked Tour and therefore lost money only because the beach shuttle did not arrive on schedule (2:10 pm) but was 25 minutes late.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet selection is vast. There was work going on to complete the promenade at the rear of the hotel, along the canal, so access was limited. The shower has very low pressure and did not maintain it's temperature, running from hot to luke warm constantly. The drive to a d from the hotel to anywhere involves 3 passes of basically the same road as you have to turn left out of the hotel and drive for 3-4 mins before going around and then coning back up the same road. And then you have to do rhe sanw thing again to around the other side of the canal. A bit annoying.

We recently booked the most expensive suite available at this hotel, anticipating a luxurious experience with a city view. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were assigned a suite on the second floor overlooking the desert and exposed to significant highway noise. Prior to our stay, we had requested a room with a pleasant city view through Expedia and reiterated this preference at the reception during check-in. Regrettably, our request was denied without a satisfactory explanation. The combination of an undesirable view and constant noise from the highway significantly detracted from our stay. Given the premium price paid for the suite, we expected better accommodation and more attentive service to our preferences. This experience has left us hesitant to recommend this hotel to others seeking a premium stay.

Certain staff members, including Sidhu, Kaim, and the person who initially delivered my luggage and unwrapped my luggages, demonstrated exceptional kindness and assistance, which I truly valued. Their support was greatly appreciated, contributing to an overall service rating of 4.5/5. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in the timeliness of service delivery. For instance, despite requesting a shower cap twice, it was not provided. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I was delighted to receive an upgrade upon arrival, and the room exceeded my expectations with its stunning views of both the city and waterfront. I look forward to returning as the hotel's location is superbly convenient.

I am writing to express my concerns about the condition of my room. The bathroom was not properly cleaned upon my arrival, and the air conditioning vent appears to be very dirty. The air coming out of the vent has a strong, foul odor, making it difficult for me to breathe comfortably. I did checked out on the 15 of October and booked another hotel to stay😡
