This was our first visit to Al Habtoor Grand Resort, and we’ve really enjoyed our stay. We booked five nights on a half-board package with Club Lounge access, which worked perfectly for us.||We spent most of our time around the beach and pool areas and were looked after brilliantly by Beshoy and his team – they were excellent and really couldn’t do enough for us. The pool service in particular was outstanding; we were genuinely impressed that the staff even come around to clean guests’ sunglasses while you’re relaxing by the pool – a really nice touch. We also noticed a family whose child was upset in the pool, and without any prompting the lifeguard went and got some toys to distract him, which immediately cheered him up. It really summed up the level of care and attention from the staff.||All of the hotel staff are incredibly attentive, but a special mention has to go to the Club Lounge team, who are a real asset to the hotel. You never had to wait for a drink, and you didn’t even have to say what you wanted they remembered our drinks from our very first night and were always anticipating what we needed. At breakfast, the lounge staff were just as attentive and were more than happy to make us porridge with plant-based milk, even though it isn’t a standard option on the menu, which we really appreciated.||We did have a very minor issue during our stay, which was handled quickly and professionally by Gemma on the reception desk. She was extremely helpful and made the whole thing easy and stress-free.||In the evenings, we often spent a couple of hours in the Polo Bar, where we were looked after by Bharat. He genuinely enjoyed interacting with the guests, had everyone laughing, and created such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere – he really made our evenings there memorable.||The standard of food throughout the resort, both in the restaurants and at the buffet, is amazing. Overall, a fantastic stay and thoroughly recommended.||There is some construction work currently taking place at the hotel, but this in no way affected our stay.
