Good Kitesurfera location”
Amazing location with great Hotel, services and facilities. I’ve been here couple of time with my frineeds for a weekend and we always had a good time. We are all kitesurfing and hotel beach is great for that.
Second Hotel in Ruwais”
Frankly speaking this hotel rate to expensive for all facilities, but I'm understand because of this hotel are second hotel in this area, another are five hotel star which is sister hotel of Dhafra. There are no swimming pool, no exercise facilities. Best point are beach view behind the hotel, unfortunately not from our room. Dinner rate also very expensive but there are no choice becoz nearest restaurant almost 20 km from hotel.
I checked out a day early”
Arrived and found there were No towels. Rooms have a strange disenfectant smell. Bathtub- the pull lever for tub did not work . I could not take a bath. Only shower. Nice landscaping... Since my apartment is close...I went back. I did pay for the extra day, since I paid in cash at check in. Danat was over-priced during Eid. I chanced on Dhafra. Again, I checked out, no..walked out... a day early. That says something.
Stop over into a calm, quiet and beautiful world”
We were not expecting such a good hotel along with private beach
Dhafra”
I was surprised ---room was clean. Staff was fantastic. Loved the beach but had to walk to neighbor for pool but the Danat was lovely too. Overall pretty good stay.
Exceptional”
Staff very helpful and friendly. Shuttle always immediately available on demand to go to sister hotel. LOVED the retro style of it!
Acceptable”
When I reached Dhafra Beach hotel I was told the hotel is closed and redirected to another resort at Jabal AL Dhana. It is big, more expensive. But they refused breakfast as mentioned while booking, said not included. We were disappointed.
Great getaway”
They are in the process of upgrading at the moment hence the worn out, unkept look. You can always use the 5 star sister hotel next door. Give them until middle of 2017 and it will be glorious.
We liked the upgrade to a suite, breakfast super”
We liked it very much and would come again. It is away from Abu Dhabi, but the buses run every 30 Minutes with comfortable buses only for 25 Dirham and there is a busstop in Al Ruwais that goes right to the Hotel
Great Location but poorly maintained”
The staff tell me this hotel is scheduled for renovation but until that happens in think the hotel should be closed. The rooms are shabby and mouldy. The carpets smell and the whole place is run down. The staff are apologetic about this and try to help but the fact is that, even though one can use the facilities at the sister hotel a few hundred metres away, the sleeping arrangements and rooms in this hotel are unacceptable.
Be careful what you looking for”
If you are looking for the cheapest option to stay in a 70’s hotel with vintage a/c and moquette you are defenitely int he right place. If you don’t mind this and the overall aspect of the room you will be cjarged 65 on top of the rate for breakfast which is tho pretty good i have to sAy. The hotel itself has no direct walk in access but you can use facilities of the Premium one next to this. Which is remarkable Technically for the amount of the hotel you can be in central location of dubai with 5stars Treatement.
Old antiquated hotel. ”
Hotel is really old. Unless you get a really good deal. Wouldn’t recommend spending too much and staying here. No facility everything is next door at the 5 star Danat Dhanya and they look at you as if your a freeloader. Food isn’t great as well. Only saving grace there is a liquor shop near by but bring your mixers coz there are no shops anywhere close. Can’t even get a bottle of water
Affordable, unique in the area , family friendly atmosphere ”
Affordable, perfect breakfast buffet, family friendly beach front.
Ok...”
Overall the place felt a little run down. It was fine for a night but not more. I got a deal, and even then I wouldn't consider it great value for money, full price and it is certainly overpriced.
OK”
Old hotel, but comfortable. lack of hot water. Decent size room.
A three star hotel indeed”
The food served at the restaurant was great with very flexible and helpful staff. The rooms however still require a lot of renovation. No pool. Nice beach. Deserted location.
Very Nice Place”
It's an old hotel with old furniture and small rooms, however, using Danat Resort facilities might close the gap and make it worth the money.
not recommend ”
Old building, AC in room Old style very noisy, elevator from 1979 and expensive price but they take advantage of their location, staff they were really friendly
