Initial Impression:
The resort made a good first impression — the front desk staff were very helpful and kind, which we appreciated.
The Resort:
The property itself is nice and well-maintained. However, there are several strict policies in place. One in particular we didn’t enjoy was the enforced line-up each morning to get a sun lounger, which felt overly rigid and inconvenient.
Transportation:
The resort’s driving service left much to be desired. At times, it was outright unhelpful, which made getting around more frustrating than it needed to be.
Location:
Be aware that this resort is quite far from major attractions. Most activities and places of interest require transportation, which adds extra planning and cost to your stay.
Excursions: we attempted to book through resort recommended agents, however, we felt they were not overly eager to help and had many delays, therefore, we schedule excursions independently.
We spent an additional week in Dubai which was incredible service and hospitality were great.
We would recommend considering other accommodations when planning your trip to Dubai.
