Fairmont Bab Al Bahr

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.

The location is excellent and the view is amazing.

We booked the Fairmont King Room with Creek View — the room was beautiful, with a lovely bathroom and great views over the creek and the pool/beach area. The beach and pool areas are nice, though the sea (creek) is a bit murky with a muddy bottom. Overall, a peaceful place to relax. However, for the price, the service didn’t meet expectations. Check-in staff were quite cold and lacked a guest-focused approach. The breakfast area was sometimes chaotic, and the outdoor seating section looked tired and wasn’t very clean. Thankfully, one lady at reception from Kenya left us with a very warm and professional final impression during check-out — much appreciated. A calm and pleasant spot in Abu Dhabi to enjoy the sun, culture, and sights. For more travel inspiration and tips, feel free to follow our journey on Instagram: @fallinlovewithearth

Although I only stayed for one night, it was a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing experience – exactly what I wanted. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed having a bathtub and the amazing view of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque from my room. The hotel's proximity to the malls was convenient, and the breakfast spread was fantastic. I also loved the general views, the opportunity for walks near the beach, and the inviting pool area. The hotel was impressively clean, and the staff were consistently attentive. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return. This looks like a great place for a family to stay.

Fabulous location, pool and beach. The staff throughout the hotel, from reception, housekeeping and poolside were excellent!
