I had gone to this property with my family for EID vacations. We stayed in the Ocean Suite.
Service : Service is absolutely mind blowing and one of the nicest staff you'll come across

Food : We tried the breakfast buffet/Sontaya/Buddha Bar/Pool Bar and amazing food quality and service. Breakfast : Breakfast Buffet in OLEA has a lot of options and for people for each taste, you'll find something. Sontaya : It is very authentic Thai restaurant. Buddha Bar : We went there for a date night and amazing experience. good Service, gr8 food options; Sheesha and lovely music.

Room : We stayed in Ocean Suite and the space was perfect.. The butler service that they had was really helpful and maintained the property in top notch condition. Access on each floor is controlled by keys so good for security.

Gym : The gym is very well equipped and has a lap pool indoor as well which makes for a lovely setting. There is classes available that you can take

Shopping Area : Right in front of the property there is few restaurants and Spinneys, some local shopping options which is perfect so you are not missing onto options. No need to pay 20-30 dhs for bottle of water in the hotel, you can go get it for 2-3 dhs in Spinneys.

Spa : The Spa was the only disappointment for me and my wife. We had signed for a couple's massage. We appreciate that they had separate changing area's etc given the local culture; but even for the couple massage, there was not much privacy. We had chosen for scrub and massage and between the two treatments, we were suppose to take a shower to clean. The shower area was in the massage room only, and the ladies doing the massage decided to stand outside the door yapping away to glory...a little bit more attention to detail would help. My specific massage therapist was not very polite as normally I have seen across the world. Very loud.

Property : Amazing pools/ Beach Area /Golf all great.

Sandcastle : Special mention to the Sandcastle which is the kids club..it has special kids play area and specific kiddy pool..it was just perfect with our 3 year old enjoying. We even used there nanny service to look after our daughter in the kids club and my daughter was in love with the nanny...

If you are looking to get away from hustle bustle..have a relaxing vacation with your family/friends..and not have to travel too much away from Dubai/Abu Dhabi...I would highly rate this place.
