Overall Thoughts on a Pool & Beach Day at Marriott Resort
If all you need is a big family pool and a decent beach – consider Marriott Resort. As the pool is rectangular in size, this means that if you picked any sunbeds adjacent to the pool – you will most likely be able to see the kids, wherever they are – within the pool area. If you do have toddlers, the shaded kids pool is a good option as well – and yes, they do have sunbeds around there, plus a mini playground with slides and swings. Do let us know if you do end up spending a day at the Marriott!
Pool and Beach Day at Marriott is available on a first come first served basis, from 10am. Please call Marriott on +971 4 666 1111 to check availability before heading over. Any queries, you may also email here
