Stayed for 5 nights for the Abu Dhabi GP weekend.
Staff were pleasant and competent. The room was big and had a washer\dryer but no dishwasher.
This was odd as there were free washers and separate dryers in the lower ground.
There was washing up liquid and wash powder supplied. The bed was made every day by staff and the shampoo etc was replenished once during the 5 day stay. Not sure if this should have been daily.
The daily free breakfast was very good, with a huge range of food to suit most tastes.
The Sun-Wed evening dinner was good too and there was ample food throughout that time so there was no need to eat out.
Location for the F1 track was ideal with a 5 minute walk to the nearest Grandstand.
The pool and terrace were good with the sun hitting this area around 2PM.
There was a small gym in the LG basement.
The local private beach was accessible by a 10 minute walk or a free shuttle (1 per hour approx).
This is well maintained and has two pools a bar and eateries. Opens at 10:00. Your entry gets you towels and access to a lounger and parasol. Ask at reception for the free voucher otherwise it’s 50 or 100 Dirhams pp.
The pantry at reception had basic foodstuffs but there is a Hypermarket at the Yas Mall which can be reached by the free shuttle.
Free (one way ) shuttle to the Mosque needs to be booked from the Crowne Plaza next door. Turns out it was their hotel car.
Used points for the stay as the rate was extortionate due to GP, good value for 25K points per night.
Overall a very pleasant stay and we would return for subsequent GP’s in future.
