Eid mubarak!!!

Eid mubarak!!!
Permanent resident in Dubai I decided to have a break at the 5* Eastern Mangroves Anantara Hotel in Abu Dhabi with my friend. I really wanted to relax in a luxury place as I mainly do in Dubai.
Here is my experience:
* At our arrival, we have been asked to pay the room at the check-in without even offering us to check it out. Smile
* After that, the receptionist announced a wrong price, putting the extra charge on the taxes. After checking with the colleagues she admitted that the price is indeed not correct but didn't apologize. Smile
* Once in the room, we asked assistance to connect on wifi, after 1/2h nobody show up. Decided to forget about it and use our own data. Smile
* First entertainment: we decided to go to the pool. Very small pool with nice view on the mangroves but then expect to be bitted by mosquitos! Smile
* We decided to grab something to eat at the pool which is a service provided by the 5* hotel of course... but expect to ask to bring you the menu, to receive the food before the drink, to have to ask twice for tissue and cutlery after 15min waiting and nothing arriving. Smile

* Later, like in every hotels the waiter comes to you to sign the bill and put it on your room number. No problem, I grab then the opportunity to let my feedback about the food expecting some explanation. So, I said that it has not taste and it's full of water which is not what I would expect from a chicken shawarma sandwich (I actually let my plate almost full). Well, smile again because you should expect a waiter with the shirt half out of the wayyyy to large suit, sweating a lot, looking at you as if you are coming from Jupiter and replying a simple "ok mam. Can you please sign here?" Smiiiiile
* Only 3 hours so far in Anantara Eastern Mangroves Hotel Abu Dhabi and still can't figure out why we paid 1200Aed the night
