Dunno- well there is in the hotel of course. Sit up round the pool and I'm sure they'll bring you your special broo.
Maybe Northernlad will know-he was supposed to be there last month....................

Let me know if it's nice, I'm going on Saturday for breakfast! By the way, I have visited the spa and they have ENORMOUS Balinese baths and amazing massages. You get a private room where you can have all kinds of indulging treatments and you can even go with your partner or friend - it's a lovely place.

It's not quite finished yet. Lot's of shops still being put together.. Restaurant looked quite nice and Left Bank bar looked cool. I popped in with a girlfriend at 11am last week and, as we didn't fancy starbucks, we just wondered over to the hotel and had brunch by the pool.

And you just have to visit the pool, they have hammocks you can drift off to sleep in - divine! Reckon it's a must for a weekend treat.

Re: Shangri La Abu Dhabi
Did you go on the little Abra?
I had a great time there with my friends and Left Bank has the most divine cocktails. We originally went to have a late breakfast early lunch and then ended up in Left Bank....... I could have stayed there all day.

seriously, the left bank is cool, a lot nicer than the one at the madinat. We sat outside in the Noodlehouse, which was child friendly and had a lovely afternoon.
Its still in the completions process, but when fully open it'll be great, and as i live in officer city, a mere stones throw away, yay!!
No more Captains arms, heros and all those other expat holes

Re: Shangri La Abu Dhabi
I wouldn't let my maid look after my baby, never mind anyone elses maid, unless she is a qualified child carer of course, which I assume she is not.
Maids are to clean, not look after babies, that's what families are for
In my opinion of course.
Thanks for the offer though
