In March, I have been staying at Intercontinental Abu Dhabi hotel and I would like to tell you that I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The staff at all the levels and posts is extremely kind, smiling and always ready to assist. The rooms are nice and comfortable, the swimming pool and the beach are pleasant, the breakfast offers a lot of good food. Seafood and lebanese restaurants are delicious. I would therefore not hesitate to recommend this hotel to the people who are looking for something great.

Hotel's Favorite
We have just returned home after a really lovely 8 nights at this hotel. We didnt want to leave. We arrived around 10am and our room wasnt ready, which was ok as we were able to leave our bags with the hotel staff and relax around the pool on the 3rd floor until our room was ready. The pool area was ok, nothing special, could do with a spruce up. Plenty of beds and umbrellas. The pool bar was nice.. but £8-10 for a mocktail was expensive. Complimentary water in ice buckets were given to us. Across from the pool is the health club. It was nice to cool down inside and take a dip in the cold plunge pool. You will also find a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and some relaxation beds. Our room was on the 9th floor with a view of the marina. The room was a good size, double bed and a single fold up bed that we requested. Their was plenty of space for our clothes, wardrobe and drawers. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. Maid service was great, we always came back to a clean room, beds made/changes and fresh towels. The air con was great, worked perfectly and wasnt noisy at all. The room had a fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee which was replenished daily too. Bottled water is left in the room daily and we put this in the fridge. We only had breakfast with our stay and it was just what we needed.. hot food selection, continental options, pastries, cereals, yoghurts, honey, bread, made to order eggs brought over to our table. Hot drinks were great and the staff were attentive. We absolutely loved the Bayshore Beach club, it was great. Just a couple of minutes walk around the marina and you are in a beautiful part of the resort. The infinity pool was really relaxing with the waterfall and the view over the beach and the hammocks near by. Their are private cabanas but these are at an extra cost. I loved that this hotel had a beach.. well kind off, there arent any waves etc, but it was lovely still with a great view of the skyscrapers behind. Plenty of sunloungers and bar to order food and drinks. The only negative i have about the beach club is when we asked for bottled water (which is complimentary ok the 3rd floor pool) we were told we would have to pay for it. I asked if we could just have cold water in a cup and they said the beach bar could assist with that. The beach bar only had warm filtered water from a machine but he gave me some ice and small cup.. in 107° heat, a small cup is silly. I was directed to a cold water machine near the childrens pool which was better, but still annoying as the cups were so small and meant going backwards and forwards. It made no sense that resort guests had to pay for water at the beach club but it was complimentary in the room and at the 3rd floor pool. The location of this hotel is great, we travelled to yas island a couple of times and it was a 25 min drive. Saadiyat island is about 25 mins away too. We drove to Dubai a few times too and it was 1hr 20 mins. Easy drive. I will not hesitate to stay at this hotel again, apart from it needing a little spruce up, (as other 5 star hotels are alot more plush that we have stayed in) i have no complaints. It had everything we needed, it was clean, staff were friendly, food was nice, parking was plentiful. We loved our stay. I just wish we had longer! Thank you!

Had the worst experience in this hotel because of a very rude staff in front office in Bayshore, Moamen. It was a very upsetting experience and I have never treated this bad in any star hotel. Stayed for 3 days and he is constantly being rude for 2 days. I never enjoyed the bayshore experience because he ruined my mood. He gave me very rude accusations and raised his voice and argue. I doubt this is how you treat other guest?? I have also explained my concern in the hotel reception and I was very upset until check out. I hope you take this complain further. I never been humiliated and insulted like this and I never expect I would experience it in Intercontinental Abu Dhabi. This is very traumatic experience!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Fish Market thanks to the exceptional service provided by Chris and Tika and execeptional dishes prepared by Chef John. They were incredibly attentive throughout the meal, making sure our drinks were always filled and checking in to see if we needed anything else. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, as they were able to recommend delicious dishes and even accommodated my dietary preferences and food allergies. What stood out the most was their genuine friendliness and warmth. They greeted us with a smile, engaged in friendly conversation, and made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. Additionally, their efficiency in taking our orders and delivering the food promptly contributed to a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. Overall, Chris and Chef John went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was memorable, and I would highly recommend dining at Fish Market Intercontinental and specifically requesting their exceptional service.
