Wonderful Presidential Suite Stay

The hotel boasts an amazing swimming pool and access to a private beach! The team provided excellent service. I received an upgrade to a presidential suite. It offered a great view of Emirates Palace. I have stayed in many hotels in the area, but this hotel is the best in the UAE.
The hotel entrance looks well kept. its brown exterior makes it look older.
