Overnight Super Yacht - Orchid

The views are stunning, and the staff are excellent too. You can smoke on the top deck of the boat, and the Indian front desk staff provided great service.

The entire room was infested with cockroaches, the air conditioning barely worked, and the sink wouldn't drain at all; the water just sat there!!!

This is a beautiful place. The rooms are like those on a good cruise ship – small, but cozy and clean, with everything you need. The hotel itself is built on the water, by the pier. Breakfast is served on a neighboring docked yacht, and it's a rich and varied buffet. There's an affordable dinner cruise option, though it's not available every day. The hotel isn't far from the airport; you can get a cheap taxi. However, getting to the airport on your own is tricky. You'd either have to walk 3 kilometers along the shoulder, through a tunnel under the sea, or take a luxury transfer from the Marina up to central Abu Dhabi. For tourists who prefer using public transport (which is quite cheap and convenient in Abu Dhabi), getting around from this hotel can be challenging as the nearest bus stop is two kilometers away. But if you manage to get there, all of Abu Dhabi's main attractions are close by. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, the aquarium, Yas Mall, the race track, and the Marina with its luxurious yachts are all just three stops away. The only downsides are the noise from the race track and the constant take-offs from the nearby airport.

The yacht was incredibly peaceful and beautiful, but the only issue was the lack of nearby restaurants. It's also not suitable for families because the bars get lively at night, which is to be expected in a tourist spot. I highly recommend it though; there wasn't a single fault with the room, service, cleanliness, air conditioning, or the view.

The service attitude was excellent, and for the price, it offered great value for money. It was a unique and wonderful experience, 👍
