The Crowne Plaza Yas Island is nice..It has a great place to eat called Stills, roast beef & yorkshire pud brunch and a fantastic outside terraces..also not many people are travelling out there yet, so you practically have the place to yourselves.

spugsy...the shangri la at the souk qaryat al beri sounds like what you're looking for...nice beach, although small, overlooks the mosque...and loads of restaurants and bars on tap...

As for the wider souq area though, I find it a bit weird. It's like a failed Madinate Jumeriah - The shopping area is a bit of a white elephant (I guess until the local population builds up anyway).

The food at YAS Marina is nice too - the arabic place is great and very good value too.
