Mabu is extremely helpful and kind to us when we are staying at Al Wathba Hotel! I arrived late and had to leave early. He gave up many helpful tips to catch the sunrise and made our trip extra awesome. I would come back again to this hotel if there’s a chance!

This stay was peaceful, tranquil and away from it all but still close enough to taxi back and forth to Abu Dhabi for our Formula 1 event. The workout and spa facilities were amazing and we used them every day. The sunrise camel ride in the desert was absolutely a must do and provided us a beautiful experience. We witnessed a 120 on horse raise that was in progress. Truly an amazing and unique experience. I cannot say enough about the staff and management team. Thank you so much and we will be back.

Beautiful Resort in desert surroundings, the room and property were well maintained, and everything looks brand new. The Italian restaurant is excellent, the pool is beautiful and the staff are all very attentive, the gym and spa are great.

Wonderful
Surpassed my expectations, across 750+ hotel nights around the globe (400+ of them within Marriott Group), I have enjoyed one of our best stays ever. Despite it was a one-night stay, celebrating a family occasion, we needed it to be perfect and memorable, and it was, Thanks to the diligence, enthusiasm, and exceptional teamwork of the entire resort team, I witnessed a fantastic team spirit to make us feel comfortable and well cared for, it was exceeding the highest hospitality & quality standards I have experienced before
