The Resort is beautiful! Restful and relaxing. We had dinner at "Waves", delicious. Our server, was excellent,he was the only one serving us outside that night. The chef came out and spoke with us. One of the best steaks I've had in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Wonderful dinner!
We were puzzled at the unfriendliness of guests, some rude. And some staff, but given the attitude of other guests we figured that maybe they were being treated bad by guests and that was why.
No one seemed happy......just an observation....living in Abu Dhabi (Beach Rotana, Abu Dhabi & Etihad Towers) for the last 16 months, we've never experienced this before. All are glad and grateful to be here, have jobs, and are eager to serve.
We still had a great time, resting, relaxing.
We also liked that we didn't need to leave the resort. The beach and the waves that day were breathtaking!
