Awsome Abu Dhabi

October half term - we are all ready for a break and some sunshine as the weather here starts to turn and the dark nights draw in. The Canary Islands have always been the obvious choice to grab some winter sun. But this year we opted for Abu Dhabi and can honestly say it did not disappoint.

Only a 7 hour flight away, flying direct from Manchester with Etihad the flights were fab for the boys. Our first family holiday as a 4 since baby Bobby arrived, he is only 5 months old and they couldn’t do enough to make sure the flight was as easy as possible for us. Entertainment and games consoles for max (now 6 years old) and even a cot for Bobby on the flight – it was so easy!

We stayed at the Beach Rotana hotel in Abu Dhabi in their residences which are brad new. The hotel, food and drink was fabulous as was the room. The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky and the biggest selling point of this hotel, especially for families is the beach! Beautiful little cove, warm shallow water you can walk out in for ages – fantastic all inclusive hotel with amazing weather for some winter sun, we loved it.
