THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
Check-in opens at three, and the doorman has usually already waved through a dozen cars by then, because Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental runs on a scale closer to a small principality than a single hotel: 394 rooms across eight floors, a currency exchange desk, a gift shop, an ATM, and a shuttle connecting guests to the pool, the private beach and the water park spread across its grounds. Built in 2005, it remains one of the few Abu Dhabi addresses with a private beach and a water park on site, alongside an outdoor pool, a spa tub, a diving club and a fitness center with squash and tennis courts. The spa runs to sauna, steam room and massage; a kids' club, a children's pool and babysitting keep the young ones occupied while a business center and conference hall handle meetings elsewhere on the property. Rooms come with bathrobes, minibars and cable TV, room service covers breakfast in the room, and staff move between English, Spanish, German, Russian and Turkish. This suits families who want a resort with its own beach and business travelers who need conference space without leaving the grounds; it does not suit anyone chasing intimacy or a property where the staff know your name by the second morning, and pets are not allowed. Wheelchair access and accessibility features run throughout, which is not a given at properties of this size. What stays with you is not any single amenity but the sheer breadth of it: a nightclub, a billiards room and a picnic area sit within the same grounds as the water park and the private beach, all under a name that still calls itself a palace. A 394-room resort in Abu Dhabi with its own private beach, water park and diving club, built in 2005 to the scale of a small principality. Better suited to families and conference groups than anyone seeking intimacy, and pets are not allowed.
