I am soliciting opinions (informed or otherwise) on these hotel choices from anyone who cares to give one.

I remember someone in an earlier post mentioning a car trip to Abu Dhabi. Is anyone considering this kind of jaunt? Saturday morning perhaps?

Finally, what's the best (cheapest) way to buy beer in the UAE?
