Hotel Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts di Al Gharbia

"The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. The food selection and quality at breakfast and dinner was first class, as was the service in the executive lounge. We received a free room upgrade overlooking the pool and the Grand Mosque, which was a real added bonus."

"Lovely apartments, with a great range of pools to choose from. The complex is right next to a small Souk and supermarket, which made it really convenient for us. Location is beautiful, on a private beach opposite the mosque, but the taxi ride to the centre of Abu Dhabi is around AED80 each way. Staff were very helpful and rooms were lovely. We stayed with our three children, aged 7, 12 and 14, and they loved the freedom to roam the complex and the general safety of Abu Dhabi."
