The Cove Rotana Resort

A little piece of Heaven.

I consider myself paid lots of money In front of nothing. I am not recommending anybody to go.

The Cove Rotana Resort is a great place to chill if you are transiting for a few days in either Abu Dhabi (two & half hours drive) or Dubai (one hour & 15 minutes drive). The staff at resort are very courteous & polite especially the dining staff, room service staff & valet staff. The only downside to our stay was the cost of wine & liquor in the restaurants which was outrageously over priced, but other than that the quality of food was outstanding both in buffet restaurant & fine dining restaurant

Stayed for two nights with my husband for my birthday. We have been upgraded to a lagoon view villa with private pool which was a great start of our weekend away. The villa was spacious and very comfortable, private pool was not temperature controlled but it was still nice to enjoy a swim after the sunset when infinity pool and beach were closed. The only negative I have is number of flies in the room from the lagoon, maybe cleaning water there would help? As it was my birthday, a complimentary cake was delivered to the room, which was a nice touch, thank you Rotana. Staff were friendly and attentive, breakfast at the restaurant was good. The resort is huge, so depending which room/villa you stay, be prepared to walk a lot as it takes time to get to the restaurants from the villas and to the beach, alternatively of course you can call golf carts/cars to pick you up and drive you where needed. Overall good experience and will be recommending this hotel to friends and family.
