Strongly NOT Recommended! Severe cockroach infestation, constant noise and terrible service. Stay away!
Nothing. Absolutely nothing positive to mention given the circumstances.
Strongly NOT recommended. We booked these apartments based on their prime location near the beach and the high overall rating of the Mamsha Al Saadiyat complex. Unfortunately, this stay completely ruined our family vacation.
1. Severe Unsanitary Conditions & Cockroaches: The biggest shock and stress for our family was finding a major cockroach infestation. Initially, we thought it was an isolated incident, but by the next day, we found them everywhere - inside the food cabinets, all over the kitchen, and even in the bedrooms. We have never encountered such horrific, unsanitary conditions anywhere in our lives.
2. Noise and Dust: There is active construction right outside the windows. The noise and dust start at 7:00 AM and continue non-stop until late evening.
3. Lack of Basic Amenities: There are no grocery stores within walking distance. You cannot even buy a bottle of water without having to drive somewhere.
Management Response:
The management's handling of the situation was entirely unprofessional and irresponsible. When we reported the infestation, their initial solution was to offer a standard cleaning (as if simply mopping the floor fixes a pest problem!). Later, they offered to relocate us to a much lower-tier apartment located far away in the city, which was in no way an equivalent replacement.
After 24 hours, the issue remained completely unresolved. The manager ignored our questions and showed zero responsibility. Ultimately, late at night, we had no choice but to pack up with our young children and move to a hotel - sleeping in an apartment filled with cockroaches was out of the question. Our children were terrified that the insects would crawl into their beds at night, leaving us all exhausted and stressed.
To top it all off, we received zero financial compensation or refund, despite their claims. We have never experienced such total indifference and lack of care for guests.

Excellent stay in a beautiful and comfortable apartment.
Very nice, clean and comfortable apartment. Great location, and everything was well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay.
Nothing major. Everything was good during our stay.

Quite place. Swimming pool was refreshing and not crowded (we were enjoying swimming alone) the security and reception 24h. The apartment was a high class furnished
You have to buy an access to the beach. And it’s not cheap for large family

Relaxing, rejuvenating easy access to night life, beach but still calming and quiet
- الموقع.
- مساحة الصالة العائليه و مساحة الغرفتين.
- المكان نظيف بشكل عام.
- التكييف بارد.
- يوجد تحت الشقه مباشره مجموعه من المطاعم والكافيهات والبارات.
- المكان هادئ جداً ولا يوجد ازعاج.
- تشطيب الشقه راقي وعالي الجوده.
- الاسره غير مريحه.
- السجاد قديم ويبدوا متهالك.
- كان حمام السباحه في ذات المبنى تحت الصيانه وتم توجيهنا الى حمام سباحة في المبنى المجاور.
- لم يتم اعلام امن المبنى بالحجز مما سبب تأخر وحرج لي اثناء الدخول الاول.
- تم اعطائنا كرت دخول واحد للمبنى ونحن عائله وتم طلب ثلاث كروت وتم توفير كرت واحد اضافي فقط بعد ليله كامله من طلبه.
- لايمكن دخول الشاطئ القريب الا برسوم ماليه.
- الشقه عباره عن غرفتين كبيره الثالثه غرفه صغيره جداً لدرجة انها عباره عن سرير وممر فقط ومدخلها من المطبخ ( مخصصه للمساعده المنزليه ) .
- يتم توفير موقف واحد فقط للسيارات.
- صعوبة الدخول للمواقف لانه لابد من انتضار الموظف ان يفتح الباب ولا يمكن الدخول والخروج بالكرت.
