Picolo recommends · Hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island
A beach hotel on Yas Island close to Ferrari World and the other big theme parks, with a free bus that drops you at the gates.
After a day of rollercoasters, the pool is waiting. The hotel is on the beach at Yas, a short ride from the island's theme parks, from Ferrari World to the Yas Waterworld water park. It is built around days out.
A free shuttle runs guests to the parks, so there is no need to queue for taxis with tired children. Back at the hotel there are large pools, play areas and the sea. Evenings tend to be early.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island
This is our family choice in Abu Dhabi. It is practical, priced fairly for Yas and close to all the things children ask to do, which makes long days much easier.
Expect a functional chain hotel rather than a place with a strong personality. If design and atmosphere matter more than convenience, look at the Saadiyat resorts instead. Couples without children may find it busy.
