A great break in Abu Dhabi made all the better by the poolside team who were excellent in looking after us during our stay. Special mentions for Midhun, Kailash, Cho, Charlene & Mahesh - all were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. All the food outlets are excellent although we found the choice a little limited over 7 days (we’ve previous stayed at other hotels with more restaurants).

Hotel's Favorite
Absolutely amazing! We love this hotel so much, we always return. Everything about this hotel is fantastic. Every single member of staff are incredibly polite, kind, helpful and go over and above to ensure your stay is an enjoyable and memorable one. The staff really do make this hotel stand out so much more than others. Rooms are spacious and impeccably clean and comfortable. The pool is heated and it so relaxing,and service comes to your sunbed. This most recent visit was our first in the Gold Lounge and we have to say it was wonderful. Again, every single staff member was extremely friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough for us. It was brilliant. They even surprised us with a happy birthday cake and song for one of our birthdays. The views from the beach of the Grand Mosque are incredible and the location is excellent as it gets you to all parts of Abu Dhabi Island from either direction, including being on the correct side of Duabi if you wish to do day trips there. Thank you again, Fairmont, for everything. Special thanks to Michael (concierge) for always taking the time to help us and make us feel welcome. Also to Saged for such a smooth booking process and welcoming check in.

We loved the Executive Gold Lounge. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and the food was excellent. We had some minor issues but the team responded very quickly and upgraded us which was much appreciated. The overall experience has been memorable. The swimming pool was outstanding and it’s a high recommend.

Very helpful/polite staff, great food/restaurants (especially the Italian), great pub with happy hour 4 to 8pm, good value and comfortable rooms. The only reasons this is not a higher rating is due to no room balconies (personal choice), little entertainment, having to request additional package discounts in reception/pool bars & Lebanese restaurant plus reception could be more helpful and explain the half board options. Would also be helpful if the hotel put info on hotel amenities/entertainment and local points of interest to visit in your room. The above negatives (hopefully helpful comments) didn't spoil what was a very good vacation.
