Excellent Hotel

This is a trully great hotel, with 5 star amenities, perfect pool, top-notch food and great decor. The breakfast was amazing, with so many items to chose from. The only let down is the location, but we knew that before booking and there is a free shuttle to 3 spots in Dubai (including Jumeirah beach), so all good.
