Hi

just checked out after a 3 night weekend stay

Hard product is excellent ( hand towel rail very close to the sink though and the sink space to put toiletries was limited

Turndown service excellent with chocolates

Breakfast buffet very food ( cinnamon buns fresh and different type of pancakes ( today was raspberry) with mango sauce

No issue with ordering a cafe latte( I was avoiding peak times as I was down around 830 for breakfast) also generally no problems in the club although did have to wait a few minutes if ordering just before the 8pm alcohol cut off as the staff were busy with last orders

Lounge selection excellent ( ie soup) but afternoon scones very crumbly and broke into pieces unlike conrad
drink selection excellent including cocktails
Lounge staff very good.

Pool busy at weekend but you are able to find a chair somewhere.staff put down very large and comfy chairs.

Few annoyances
Put in a wakeup call for 0630but was called at 0600. . My follow up call requested for 0645 was on time
had to wait a few minutes in the morning for the Pearl. club staff member to come back to be able to check out ( not all staff can do check out)

Despite making a reservation for a hotel car to the airport for 0830 today when I was in the lounge yesterday pm the bell staff had no information on it when I went down. There was a car available though so left around 0850 ( j was a few minutes late due to checkout.
journey to the airport was only about 35 mins with minimal traffic ( more traffic in the other direction) and was aed 220 for a Toyota people carrier ( other cars are available at varying prices

Overall a very good stay. It is more a resort hotel than the downtown conrad so a different experience. The club is very good ( but you are paying for it)

pool drink prices appeared reasonable ( ie a pina colada was 75aed against 80aed at conrad

Regards
