Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provides spacious and clean rooms, though it took them a while to fix an issue with the room. The service was exceptionally helpful and friendly, with included breakfast being a nice touch. The location offers water sports opportunities, but there were cleanliness issues. The dining experience was varied and good, despite minor delays in service. Overall, a mix of positive and negative aspects.
My stay at the Grand Palace was exceptional. The rooms were incredibly spacious, offering a breathtaking view of the Emirates Palace and Abu Dhabi Marina. Although the Wi-Fi quality was lacking, the impressive 115m² room on the 32nd floor with access to the lounge club area exceeded my expectations.
The hotel rooms were a mix of amazing comfort but lacking in some essentials like menu, towels, and water. The cleaning service was a bit inconsistent. The service from staff members like Sir Raymond, Amie, Joel, Jobelle, Lovely, and Theresa was outstanding, providing true Arabian hospitality. The location was wonderful for a short stay in Abu Dhabi, but some areas were closed due to events. The dining experience was good but could improve with more food options. Overall, a decent place with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The spacious rooms offered stunning views of the pool and beach area, although the initial issue with the fridge was a downside. The service had its moments of excellence but also some shortcomings. The location was great with direct views of the Emirates Palace, yet the beach itself was a letdown. The dining experience was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some aspects being great while others fell short.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were amazing, and the staff was friendly and professional. The location was fantastic, close to iconic places, but a bit small for the size of the hotel. The dining experience was good but could be more organized. Overall, a great value for the money.
