Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: The extent of my sightseeing in Abu Dhabi.

If you’re a points person, chances are you will find yourself in Abu Dhabi, my 76th ‘country’, for one night while to catch your flight to somewhere else. I’ve never had a desire to visit Abu Dhabi and opted to spend a month in Dubai instead. From what I saw in my short time there, Abu Dhabi is beautiful and may require a more extended visit. Abu Dhabi has great golf courses that qualify for free rounds using the Citi Prestige card and a plethora of top end points options from the St. Regis to the Park Hyatt.

If you’re going to be in Abu Dhabi only for a few hours, save those precious points and head to my favorite everyday brand, the Aloft. For $40 and 2000 SPG points, you won’t find a better deal or a better hotel. As a platinum guest, I was given the free breakfast option but asked for more drink tickets instead since I had an early morning flight. The hotel has a rooftop bar that is worth the visit but stay clear of the mixed drinks. They were absolutely disgusting. I tried 4 of them and at $11 each was happy that my drink tickets covered that expense.

Overall, I love Aloft hotels. They’re big, bright, and the service is casual yet professional. The Aloft Abu Dhabi was all that and a bit more.
