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
Mostafa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Magnifique séjour

Séjour merveilleux dans cet hôtel magnifique sans fausse note. Grande chambre très agréable, propre et bien décorée, nourriture excellente et produits de qualité que ce soit au petit déjeuner, au buffet le soir ou à la carte, le restaurant italien Terra Secca est formidable, bravo au chef. Le site de l’hôtel est superbe, les aménagements et la décorations sont luxueux mais tape à l’œil, la piscine est très belle, le cadre est calme et reposant. Le personnel est très attentionné mais pas envahissant. Un grand merci Aayush, Jessica, Sandra et Ashish pour le gentilesse et leur service irréprochable. La salle de sport est très bien équipée et propre et le spa offre sauna, jacuzzi, hammam… tout ce qu’il faut pour se détendre. Nous retournerons dans ce bel établissement avec plaisir.
