average stay, disappointing service
convenient locationunavailable roommissing refund
the hotel is conveniently located near key attractions, helpful for getting around.
i was disappointed with the check-in process. i arrived late in the evening and the room i booked wasn't available. they offered me a beautiful king room burj khalifa view as an alternative, but it didn't have the sea view i was expecting (the burj khalifa is excellent, i guess). also, the promised refund for the difference in room cost never materialized. i had to follow up multiple times with customer service, a real drag.

rooftop indoor poolgreat viewshalf board packageincluded beverages
The rooftop indoor pool was a highlight. It offered relaxation after a busy day. i appreciated the variety of food available at dunes cafe. It made dining convenient. the staff were excellent and highly helpful. i found the terrace on the 42nd floor offered great views.
I found none of the drinks were included in the half board package. in my opinion, at least still water should be included. the lack of included beverages felt restrictive.
