Staff all very accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. Check in was easy and efficient and vey welcoming. The guys on the reception helpful and the guys outside the entrance doors were really professional and never waited longer than 2-3 mins for a taxi. We had a lovely stay at The Fairmont. Great sunsets on the beach with a fantastic view of the Mosque. Food on the half board basis was really good and a varied choice. Breakfast on the shaded outdoor terrace with birdsong a great way to start the day. The pool was a refreshing temperature and all the staff on the beach and poolside are fun, friendly and professional. The view from the room was out of this world and the room itself bright and modern. Turn down service was a lovely touch and the rooms cleaned exceptionally well. I play padel tennis and there are some really great facilities only a few minutes walk away which I was delighted with. We really enjoyed the Sport’s Bar on site. Friendly staff and nice outside seating area.

Changing rooms at the pool a little tired. Cleaned regularly though so that was great. Beach bar was also pretty tired but the staff made up for it. They should definitely invest some time and money in updating the pool toilets and changing rooms and beach bar could do with some TLC.

The breakfast area was bit small for the amount of people that was there. Had to ask for food to be replenished also @ 10.50 was waiting to get my tea and coffee for 5 mins as nobody was behind the counter. I called a staff member and asked for tea and coffee then the staff member said the manchine is switched off. This was before 11 0clock which I said then he straight away gave me tea and coffee

The location is excellent and the view is amazing.

Open toilets do not suit our environment in the Emirates. Relieving oneself should be done in a covered and tightly closed place.

The staff at the hotel are exceptional especially the people on the door, they are so helpful and engaging. This is the best level of treatment we have had in the UAE this was our 5th trip. We popped to the bar one night for drinks the staff were so friendly we ended up staying for food also, I didn't even know they had a menu so that was a bonus. The beds are so comfortable it was like sleeping on a cloud. The water in the room is made from the humidity what a genius idea. I think more places should roll this out. I was a bit hesitant on location but taxis are cheap and plentiful and if you head to the aquarium there are a huge amount of restaurants, cafes and a cinema here.

The house keeping sometimes did not replenish toilet roll

The view from our room was gorgeous! Spacious and nice rooms Staff were friendly and accomodating Special thanks to Saged! Beatuful large and cery clean pool Water actuvities reasonably priced unlive our stay at palm jumeirah

They must have a spa to g with our luxuriosu stay, They have a salon but no spa which is unfortunate because we wanted to book massages More acrivities like ping ping or beach vollyball would have been nice as well.

We were upgraded to the Gold Lounge. This allowed us to have afternoon tea and evening drinks with buffet, free gratis. Excellent value! Room was quiet and large with two bathrooms, great choice of food for breakfast and we particularly liked the gardens to sit in.

There are very few shops locally so a taxi is needed if you want to venture further, but that could be a bonus if you just want peace and quiet around the pool and garden area. It suited us but may not suit others. Taxis are very cheap!

Very beautiful view by the sea 🌊, quiet hotel great for relaxing , beautiful bar & restaurants available in hotel for dining, staff very helpful & available all time , one of the best hotel staffs I’ve ever seen , very respectful & great hospitality

The breakfast was amazing with lots of variability, however the coffee quality wasn’t good , if they change their coffee supplier definitely will be 100% best breakfast , the coffee machine in the room was very old style & not good quality capsules for fairmont brand !!

Here’s a long list of all the things I loved about this hotel, because it was really exceptional: 1) Once I completed my booking online, they contacted me via the app to confirm all the details and welcoming me to the hotel. They were very responsive and took note of all my needs. 2) It was my 1st time at the hotel, so at the time of check-in they upgraded me from a city view to a sea view, which was beautiful! 3) The rates of the hotel are so convenient compared to the wonderful service you get there. 4) The breakfast buffet was very satisfying. They have the best Lebanese chef who makes the most delicious manakesh ever! 5) They have all type of restaurants (F&B) and all available with convenient prices. You will not need to dine out or order food from outside the hotel. 6) The staff was exceptional. Very professional, accommodating, welcoming, respectful, and friendly. This is the 1st time I stay in a hotel where everyone is smiling and can’t wait to make your stay even better. 7) The cosmetics they use in the hotel rooms are of great quality. (Le Labo) 8) The room was spacious and luxurious. 9) The dine-in menu for the rooms has almost everything with convenient prices. 10) The team is always one call away. 11) They are very concerned about sustainability and take all the possible measures. It has become on my top list whenever I am going to visit Abu Dhabi again. It’s going to be always, Fairmont. I’m impressed with the quality and service. Thank you for making my stay outstanding!

Stayed for 2 nights during the summer and couldn’t fault the hotel in any way, our stay was excellent. From the beautiful room to the exceptional facilities, we wished we could have stayed for longer! Brilliant breakfast, and the hotel is located perfectly ‘in the middle’ (between the city and everything off island). Everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had a brilliant stay. Shout out to Ronaldo who made sure he was there to help us in anyway at all. Another two shout outs to both Solomon and Chandran who were incredibly helpful and smiley, they’re all a credit to the Fairmont team. No doubt we will definitely be coming back again!

Nothing! Liked it all.
