TL;DR
Food at UAE all-inclusive hotels is generally considered adequate rather than extensive: fruit selection is often limited to watermelon and melon, and juices are usually packaged with a small variety. Dinner can still include substantial items such as beef steaks, roast turkey, chicken skewers, pizza and pasta.
One review of breakfast: omelet, eggs, oatmeal, waffles, pancakes, sausages, buns, and fruit options including watermelon, plums, pears, oranges and grapefruit. Guests reported feeling full, and lunch was also rated well.
A recent review noted that pasta, pizza and fries were not automatically on the dinner buffet — they had to be requested separately. Seafood was limited mostly to shrimp, though fish (seabass and salmon) was consistently available. Tomatoes were unripe, and one morning the pineapple juice was spoiled.
One review mentioned that during low season (June, few guests) breakfast, lunch and dinner were noticeably more varied, with plenty of fruit — food quality seems to depend heavily on hotel occupancy.
Recent feedback says the juice selection is limited: juices are usually packaged and served with meals rather than offered as a broad all-day drinks range.
Dinner can still be fairly solid even if the overall buffet feels trimmed down: travelers mentioned watermelon and melon, beef steaks, whole roast turkey, chicken skewers, several pasta options and plenty of pizza. Parmesan and blue cheese were also noted.
Overall, the food is described as modest but sufficient: most guests say you will not go hungry. Fruit choice is limited, often mostly small-cut fruit salads; melon may appear rarely, and sliced watermelon is not always available.
