You feel like your the only one there. Heaven! It truly is palacios and I can’t wait to return. Teresa from Kenya who works in the club lounge is the most welcoming lady with a big smile. We will miss her x

Very grand, however, 7 days was too long

We got a great deal for this hotel. But the cost of food and drink is extortionate. £10 for a beer. Pretty much the same Pool side and Room Service menu - £20 for a sandwich. You don't mind paying that price if the service is impeccable, however, it was pretty much average. The lazy river and water slides provided endless hours of entertainment, but the pool closes at 6pm. You are not permitted to bring in any food or snacks from outside. I would recommend staying here, but only for one night to experience the hotel. There are so many better places to stay in the UAE.

Not quite 5*

This is a superb hotel and luxurious on a grand scale. The good points, we arrived at 6.30am and the room was ready for us and as we had access to the palace lounge we were able to have breakfast. The staff are very professional and the butler could not have been more helpful. The room was spotless and was kept this way during our 8 day stay. The not so good. I had cause to write a letter of complaint during my stay with regards to a number of things. However the Manager met with me and again, was very professional and apologised. On the date we were leaving our flight was at 2.00am, and the manager offered our room to us until we departed the hotel. This was really useful as we did not leave the hotel until 10.30pm and normal check out time is 12.00pm. As this hotel is a 7* hotel and one of the leading hotels of the world, I would not have expected to have cause to complain, but I did and this is why I have only given it 4*. The hotel is so huge is can feel a bit "soulless", At times. The security staff are also quite zealous, and asume that everyone is a visitor. We were challenged almost every night as we made our way round the hotel, and told that certain parts of the hotel were, "for guests only". We had to keep proving that we were guests, which was becoming tiresome. This hotel gets a lot of things right, but there are a couple of area's that need to be improved.

near perfection

overall a fantastic hotel, great facilities, lots of hidden touches, most staff excellent and friendly (a couple of minor problems means still not a perfect score, but trivial in context of the good points). overall by far the best hotel in abu dhabi and probably the best I've ever stayed in (and I have stayed in the Burj al Arab Dubai before) and have been to over 200 cities on business/leisure

Amazing

This is luxury at its best. Perfect service a wonderful hotel. The only thing I would say is the food and drink is far too expensive, but I guess to be expected in this beautiful place.
