The staff were extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The place itself is ideal for larger groups, offering plenty of space and comfort. Its location is perfect, with easy access to many of Abu Dhabi’s main attractions, all conveniently situated around Yas Island.… The apartment is well-equipped with a wide range of facilities, and everything was spotless and well-maintained. I would absolutely choose to stay here again with friends. Special shout out to our Guest Services Agent Ahmed! ✨ 🌟 💫

We had a great stay! We stayed for 4 weeks. The accommodations was nice and clean and well equipped, great layout, with fabulous views off the balcony. Communication with the host was easy and anything that arose during our longer stay was sorted quickly and professionally,… thanks! If I had one down point it would be, adding a dishwasher to the kitchen would be great, when there is 5 of you on a long term stay it feels like your washing alot of dishes 😆 but thats a minor! The facilities at Waters Edge are good, pool well maintained and manned by a lifeguard. The supermarket and cafes were a nice surprise. We enjoyed our time in this accommodation. Thanks again!

Got a smaller apartment than we paid for We were given a smaller apartment than we paid for, not enough towels. Its a nice apartment, but again we paid for a bigger one with an extra bed. We were not offered a refund for the difference. Very unhelpful customer service that was… not able to resolve this issue. I won't recommend this place as i do feel we were let down. It was fine, I would have been happy IF I paid for a smaller apartment. Being given the wrong size room for 12people and then not being helped was stressful. Our group ended up booking another hotel room. Very disappointing service as I did not get the apartment I paid for.

My family had a wonderful time almost complete kitchenware where we can cook for the new years celebration and comfortable place to rest and appreciate the view around us!
