We have stayed in many fine hotels around the World, including other Shangri-La's, but this stay tops them all. Every aspect of our stay was six stars! This was a mini family reunion. There were 8 in our group in 4 rooms and suites. Our group was pretty diverse, ranging in age from 19 to 90! We had travelled from 3 Continents to Abu Dhabi to spend some quality time together. we were not disappointed!

The reservation was mostly handled by Jane Priscila, who very ably handled our many requests for handicap facilities and for the rooms being close to each other. Thank you Jane for being such a perfect host and for the many thoughtful touches!

When our hotel transfer from the Airport arrived at the hotel, 4 smiling welcoming faces met us at our car, welcomed us warmly and took care of all the luggage and check in. This set the tone for the rest of our stay! Every breakfast and meal was a joy to look forward to. Our Suite had an amazing view of the impressive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which was all lit up at night. Sunsets at the Horizon Club was very special too with the same view of Abu Dhabi skyline! The service at the Club was very warm and friendly.

The check out and departure was very smooth, friendly and efficient. The only problem was we were so sad to be leaving this oasis in the desert! We have been totally spoilt for life. We doubt very much if any other hotel will match this experience. Not a problem! We just have to come back,SOON!
