Positive Reviews
positive:
Plenty to see and do.
The beautiful Yas Beach is within a 10-minute walk, though guests uninterested in walking in the heat can take the hotel's free shuttle, which also stops at the Yas Mall. Guests often choose to book other excursions or tee times at the impressive nearby golf courses at the hotel concierge desk. Most find the concierge to be knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour operators to be well organized. Guests rave about Ferrari World, Formula 1, and tours of Dubai.
positive:
Exceptional staff.
Most guests give the reception team high marks for their friendly, helpful service, often commenting on their smiling faces and ability to "go the extra mile" to accommodate special requests and assist those new to the area. Any issues are generally resolved cheerfully and efficiently. Guests often mention the talented wait staff and bartenders, as well as the excellent food in the many restaurants on site.
positive:
Clean, modern rooms.
Most guests find the rooms to be sparkling clean and airy, with comfortable, modern furnishings. Many guests enjoyed views of the sea or golf course from their room, some on private balconies. The housekeeping team is frequently mentioned not just for the quality of their work, but for their cheerful attitude and thoughtful approach. Guests often feel they are "well looked after."

Patience is a virtue...
A few guests reported long waits at the front desk, for their valet to retrieve their cars, or for room service to arrive.

Drain, Planes, and Automobiles...
A few guests ran into plumbing issues during their stay, were bothered by the planes overhead, or had trouble connecting to the shuttle for an early morning flight.

Too remote for some...
While many guests choose the location to "get away from it all", others find the commute to various area attractions a bit tedious.
