From check in to check out we had an amazing experience. We were always treated with kindness and respect, staff always had a smile and always ready to help. We loved it so much we didn’t leave the hotel once. The room was spacious and clean. The pool and beach area were very clean also and well kept. We really hope we would have stayed more days. Will definitely come back. I do have to mention that the Steakhouse restaurant does not allow children. I called to make a reservation and was told that no children were allowed but that we could eat in our room. Lol. That wasn’t the best response but other than that everything was great.

This was one of the prettiest hotels we stayed at! We got checked into our room but then decided we wanted the beach view. The staff was absolutely amazing and upgraded us to a higher floor with the beach view and the mosque, at a discounted price! Rooms are amazing and very clean. Has an amazing pool and restaurants at the hotel. They have a pool for kids and adults. I highly recommend the Fairmont if you are staying in Abu Dhabi!

Superb stay. Was a family of four. The room was clean and spacious, the swimming facilities were excellent with a covered pool for the children which protected them from the sun. The breakfast was excellent with fresh pancakes and a huge selection. Dinner was equally as good from Marco Italian. Wonderful ingredients and service. Concierge saved us a lot of hassle with trip to Sheikh Zayed Mosque with provision of clothes and tickets

The fairmont is a wonderful hotel with fantastic restaurants, great views and lovely comfortable and clean rooms. The service we received was exceptional and we would highly recommend it for a family stay - lots to do, and the little secret is you can walk along the beach to the Shangri La hotel too.

Small room, extremely small beds, not good for families or couples. No privacy in the rooms, if you need to use the washroom at night then you have to switch on the lights of the whole room and wake up everyone with you. Shower and toilet are not located properly in the room which makes it less private.
