The Staff particularly in Zaytoun were fantastic especially Joanna. The one serious negative was that when I asked about an accessible room (I am disabled and find it difficult and dangerous to climb into the bath to use the shower) I was made aware that they only had separate showers in the premier or suites room options which I cannot afford

A wee treat

Stayed for 2 nights after visiting family in Dubai. Arrived early which didn’t seem to matter as we were checked in immediately. Very friendly and helpful staff, the room with view over the creek was amazing and extremely comfortable. The pools were brilliant and clean. Good location if you want shopping, it’s next to festival mall. Great break all round 😎
