Abu Dhabi Winter Sun
The flights were fantastic and for a 7-ish hour flight was really comfortable, food and service couldn’t fault in economy. On arrival at the airport we were met by a driver to take us by private car to Ritz Carlton. We drove past the Grand Mosque which is stunning and looks amazing in the sunlight.
Walking into Ritz Carlton oozes luxury, high-end chic, 5* service and hotel. We took advantage of a free half board upgrade which was on offer. The food in the restaurants is amazing even the buffet restaurant. I especially liked the Asian Restaurant where I could have stayed all day eating, plus this has the best view of the Grand Mosque in the evening lit up. We also had access to the Club Lounge, again worth upgrading in my option as a great area for drinks and some relaxation.
Close by to the hotel are a selection of restaurants everything from Italian, Indian, Sushi to give you another option of where to eat. The hotel is big as you would expect but the service and facilities are fantastic and feels very personal. The pool is great for sunbathing, swimming and pool side bar service makes it even better. Would recommend Abu Dhabi for a long weekend or even long to get some sunshine.
