United Arab EmiratesStaff was very friendly and accommodating, the gym and change rooms where amazing. The pool was great, we were there during the week so the pool bar was not open until Thursday however they had staff still serving us, we had lunch by the pool. The room was beautiful, lots of room and nicely decorated with a view of the Indian ocean. Hotel is connected to mall so you can very easily grab whatever you need, drinks, snacks, clothes, and money exchange.
