A great place to stay in Al Ain. Good: Clean spacious rooms with decent size balconies. Excellent facilities, including an almost Olympic length heated pool, sauna and gym. Helpful staff. Ample on-site parking, easy access to the Mezyut border post.
Bad: We stayed there on two separate nights, just before and after a driving holiday in Oman. The first time we had the excellent and lavish buffet, but on the return trip we decided to go a la carte, ordering only one main dish each, despite their being practically the same price as the entire buffet. This turned out to be a mistake as the food took almost an hour to arrive. Had we been warned in advance of the huge lead time needed for a la carte orders we would have gone for the buffet. To be fair, the end products were freshly prepared, well presented and tasty, which suggests that the kitchen takes such orders seriously. |
