This is an amazing hotel which deserves a 6 star rating! Honestly when I compare it to other 5 star hotels we've stayed in, the St Regis is in a league of it's own. We waited over an hour to check in as the hotel was fully booked but to make up for the inconvenience a most accomplished pianist played beautiful classical music throughout and we were treated to a free lunch at one of their excellent restaurants. The room was divine, large and comfortable wih excellent facilities like a massive round bath and we had the standard room, not a high end suite. The robes were comfortable enough that you wanted to wear them non stop, the towels were huge and soft, The beds beyond comfortable and the staff offered consistently top notch service. Our personal butker was just lovely. The beach park is well worth the rather long walk but it is through a gorgeously appointed tunnel cleverly lit to look as if it had windows. Pool bar, pool restauramt, kids facilities, myriad waiters on call and a pretty stretch of beach too. Something for everyone and in the morning the most incredible breakfast made it super difficult to stop oneself from stuffing one's face. Great variety of food even for vegetarians and vegans, I only wish hotels in the UAE would make better pancakes and waffles but maybe it's a good thing considering the high calorie count as it is. Overall I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to treat themselves to a luxurious stay.
