We were a family of five, travelling to Dubai for vacation. The first impression of the hotel was very good, absolutely according to expectations. The breakfast was also very good, although there could have been more variations on a day-to-day basis. We had a ten day stay, and it was more or less exactly the same that was beeing served each day. That said, the breakfast had a very high quality, and very family friendly.
We were a bit disappointed that the gaming room for kids was closed. The playground for kids was also closed. Sauna and steam bath was also closed. We felt that there was less activities for kids compared to our expectations. It's worth mentioning that these attractations was closed for our entire stay, and when we asked how long they were expected to be closed we got vague response, but according to the staff at the hotel the playground had already been closed for months. We were pleased when seeing a kids club with daily activities at the top floor of the hotel, but unfortunately these activities was exclusive for russian speaking kids. Our kids had expected more kid friendly activities, given the information provided about the hotel.
