We stayed for the Eid weekend and the hotel staff were all excellent, took 2 adjoining rooms on the 6th floor with an adjoining 'suite'. All facilities were excellent and the kids played non-stop in an excellent pool with slide. As the majority of the pool is quite shallow it was perfect for our young children.

A very relaxing few days.....

This is a nice hotel to stay in if you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Me and my husband started our tour of the UAE here. We had booked 5 nights but cut it short to 4 as there wasn't much to do on an evening and thought it would be best to add an extra nights stay in Abu Dhabi.
The hotel is nice, the pool area is lovely but can get very busy with kids on a Friday. We didn't eat a lot of our meals here but what we did have was good. There is Paco's bar which serves Tex Mex and has live music on an evening and you have the option to sit outside if the music is too much. We are not big breakfast eaters so we opted for the cafe area in the lobby which serves great pastries and coffees.
The rooms are very average and could do with updating but they were very clean and quite spacious. The only negative was the room was only turned down twice out of the 4 nights we stayed so it meant we had to use damp towels on the morning.
I would definatley recommend hiring a car as the hotel is slightly out of the way but taxi's are very cheap over there.
I would definately recommed this hotel to anyone who wants a few days relaxation in the sun.

Had read good and under average reviews on here for the Hilton Al Ain, but shouldn't have been concerned as it was a really nice hotel. We arrived (the only downside) at 1.40 am in the morning - the problem with getting tot he hotel is that by the time you have flown out of wherever (Manchester) for us and arrived at Abu Dhabi airport, (around 8.30 pm) - it is a 6 to 7 hour flight, you had to wait for a coach (it is not a flight as listed on the itineary) that leaves at 11 pm, and it is just over 1.5 hours to the hotel. You can pre book a taxi with Travel Collection (that's who we travelled with) for £65, but I personally would have got a taxi outside the airport and bartered a price.
Once we got to the hotel we were really hungry and the reception desk told us we could order room service. We did and got really good value, 2 decent meals (albeit not exactly healthy as we had opted for burger and chips aand steak bageuette and chips and two soft drinks) cost us about £11 - at 2 am in the morning!
For breakfast you are spoilt for choice, ther is continental, fruit, cooked, or the cheif will cook you somethng you request (he stands outside with his own little cooking area. You can get bacon, even though UAE is an arabian country, but the container it sits in is not labelled and the sausages are veal sausages.
We did not always go to lunch if we had not had breakfast till later on but when we did again there was plenty of choice. The evening meals were good and desserts were excellent! Each night is themed and if you want a change there is an italian (which we went to twice which was very nice - they even arranged for one night for us to get our drinks there free as it was Mexican night and we did not like mexican). There is also the snack bar next ot the two pools which does noce snacks and also does pizza in a proper pizza oven outside, but check when you get there which nights they do this as it is not every night.
When we were there the hotel was very low on guests so all the staff knew what we drank and were very attentive. You can have food or drink by the pool and book this to your room, so you don;t need to worry about taking cash out by the pool. The UAE's weekend is Friday and Saturday (rather than Sat and Sun) and the hotel gets very busy then with lots of children using the hotel and pool, but they were all well behaved. Although it was 40 degrees whilst we were there (gets hotter believe me!) it was bearable to sit in the pool with your legs over the side and read a book - a few other did that as well.
The rooms were nice and air conditioned and quite spacious and nice standard bathroom. Bottled water was plentiful as we used to take a cpule out of the breakfast room with us and you get 2 bottles each day in your room on the tea making tray.
Taxi's are fairly cheap. It was 50 p (equivalent to) for us to go to the Al Ain shopping mall about 6 or 7 minutes away by taxi and about £1 to go to the Al Jimi mall. We personally didn't think anything was that much cheaper than at home.
We went to Dubai for the day on a air conditioned bus for £4 (although I was still very hot when I got there)and we came back via taxi, which we managed to bartar down to £30 for a 1.5 hour journey. Dubai is like a building site so, beware if you go there is is not yet finished!! There is a site seeing tour bus which we went on which was quite interesting, but we went on this at the end of the afternoon and the traffic to get back to the point where it stops is terrible and took 1.5 hours and should have took 15 mins.
There is no entertainment on at night and the alcoholic drinks in Paco's (if you want Bacardi Breezers etc) are about the same price as the UK, but it is nice enough to sit outside and enjoy the heat even though it is dark just after 7 pm.
If I wanted to go somewhere hot for a week to relax then this is a must do destination.

The Hilton is slightly old and a bit faded in areas but overall provided very good value for money. We went for some winter sunshine without the high price tag of Dubai. The rooms were very comfortable with every amenity you could want although there was no furniture on the balcony. The only gripe with the room was that it overlooked the nightclub which was loud if you had the balcony door open but could not be heard with it shut.

The service in the hotel was excellent particularly at breakfast and by the pool. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of options and eggs, pancakes and waffles cooked to order. The Italian restaurant was also good. The gardens were nicely landscaped and the pool loungers plentiful and comfortable but I felt that the pool areas could have done with a bit of a refurb.

Overall good value and friendly service but nothing special looks wise.
