Mabu is extremely helpful and kind to us when we are staying at Al Wathba Hotel! I arrived late and had to leave early. He gave up many helpful tips to catch the sunrise and made our trip extra awesome. I would come back again to this hotel if there’s a chance!

Wonderful

Surpassed my expectations, across 750+ hotel nights around the globe (400+ of them within Marriott Group), I have enjoyed one of our best stays ever. Despite it was a one-night stay, celebrating a family occasion, we needed it to be perfect and memorable, and it was, Thanks to the diligence, enthusiasm, and exceptional teamwork of the entire resort team, I witnessed a fantastic team spirit to make us feel comfortable and well cared for, it was exceeding the highest hospitality & quality standards I have experienced before

This stay was peaceful, tranquil and away from it all but still close enough to taxi back and forth to Abu Dhabi for our Formula 1 event. The workout and spa facilities were amazing and we used them every day. The sunrise camel ride in the desert was absolutely a must do and provided us a beautiful experience. We witnessed a 120 on horse raise that was in progress. Truly an amazing and unique experience. I cannot say enough about the staff and management team. Thank you so much and we will be back.

Hva er det å ikke like her? Hotellet var fantastisk, ansatte her var noen av de mest fantastiske menneskene som er alltid klare for å hjelpe uansett hva situasjonen er. Prathab, Faris, Madu, Akash og absolutt alle her viser virkelig hva god service er! Må ikke glemme selve housekeeping teamet som overrasket oss med blomster på senga og nye overraskelser hver gang. Maten her var enkelt, men noe av de beste jeg har spist. Pizza BIANCANEVE var enkel, men beste pizzaen jeg har smakt! Kompliment til kokken! Så hvis du ikke vil ha en fantastisk opplevelse i et hotell som er helt magisk, med gode ansatte som er alltid der for å få deg til å føle deg spesiell og spise noe av det beste italienske maten så bør du ikke dra hit!
