Their first Aujan-owned Hotel is debatable at best, with some qualities in the business market, but this leisure resort seems to even lack this aspect.
The only explanation I have is that they hope to fill it with groups, much like these hotels in Ras Al Khaimah.
In any case I don’t think this property is a good fit for this thread or forum.
yes its modern. It looks nice, especially the rooms unlike most amans which everyone raves about here (yes i know: soul filled rooms sold for a fortune built for cheap - awesome!)
most dubai hotels are down right ugly in the rooms (madinats (except al naseem), burj al arab etc all come to mind. O and o the palm being a nice exception but 1 hour traffic to central dubai and the construction in every direction is a huge turn off)
oberoi is currently the best hotel in the area. (If you want a beach holiday) Bulgari will probably be better, based on location, but also double as expensive.
