My suite room is very spacious and with a wonderful view of the sea, the Hotel is ideal to relax and enjoy the facilities of the various pools and private beach that guests have to disposal.

Taking into account the 45 Celsius degrees to shade the sun guarantees in Dubai, it is natural that you spends most of the day in the hotel, enjoying the air conditioning or pool, replacing all the water lost with divine drinks.
