it was a pleasant stay with kids. only missing part is the absence of a SPA. Receptionist Faride was almost perfect with caring too much whenever we needed her support. Kudos to Fairmount team hiring such great people.

Overall was good experience but the smoking policy needs to be reviewed. Put smoking floor in one area and not mixed between rooms.

Ambitious but doesn't deliver

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Philippe D. Couples - 22/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were surprised to find out room wasn't ready when we arrived at 4:30. We went to the pool/beach and ordered a drink where staff asked us to call them when we had a room ready and make sure it's billed appropriately. We went back to check-in at 5:30 and the room still wasn't ready. We finally got the room at 6PM - with an upgrade to Gold floor. This would have been great if the Gold floor actually existed: it looked like a ghost town up there, no kitchen, no food, no drinks, etc. It was Gold only in name. Finally, the view side of the hotel is unfortunately all condensated - you should really lower the temperature in the room before the guests arrive, it defeats the purpose. Being an ex-Fairmont employee, the motto of "Make memories" certainly didn't feel like it applied to that stay.

Dear Mr. D., Thank you for choosing Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and taking the time to post your review. We are truly sorry to know that your overall experience did not fully live up to your expectations. Your feedback is vitally important to us. Hence, we will be contacting you directly to learn more about the details of your stay and how we can improve on our service delivery.

wonderful view of the mosque

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Anonymous Business - 11/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We did enjoy our stay a lot, the employees are all extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside was that my husband was only vaccinated once and we were not aware that he was not even allowed at the pool, which we both found extremely strict. I was there for work, but as soon as that was done, we decided to head to Dubai because of that, otherwise we would have enjoyed a longer stay at the Fairmont Bab al Bahr. But I believe this is a government law and not a hotel policy. Still, we only got to know this policy while checking in.

OKAY

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Anonymous Families - 07/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

First, when we arrived nobody bothers to come to our car to help us with our luggage. So we call them to help us. Secondly, one of the rooms the gave us is an interconnecting room and we were not aware about that. My son accidentally opened the door and somebody is on the other side of the room, that room number is 155. They should tell us that that room is interconnecting and we should not open the door, at least inform us so we'll be aware. I informed the reception I forgot her name but she told me it's okay and she didn't addressed my concern well instead she gave me her calling card and told me if I want to book again just to call her. I feel that it's an inappropriate response for a guest's concern. Another thing, when we're about to have our breakfast we approach the receptionist but at that time she was on the phone. She said something but I didn't clearly heard what she said so I thought she was asking our room number. So I told her our room number and she rolled her eyes. It was an awful experience. I'm exploring all the hotels here in Abu Dhabi to experience the best hotel and definitely this hotelnis far from that. I will never recommend this hotel to my friends and colleague. I am sorry.

Amazing Stay

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Ciara Couples - 04/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed for 2 nights in a beautiful suite. Everything was perfect. We enjoyed dinner in both the Marco Piere restaurants and they were both excellent. We drank cocktails in Bridges Bar. The service was great and a special shout out to Aswin that made sure we always had a drink. The pool is fantastic with great cocktails. Breakfast is delicious with a big selection. We also had afternoon tea which was lovely. I was so pleased with our stay. We cannot wait to return :)

Unresolved problem

Hamad A. K. Couples - 02/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room is large and comfortable but we had some unresolved issues then, The sinks in the bathroom were overflowing, the loudspeaker didn't work, the TV wasn't on. Broadcast system, the bathroom does not have privacy, as the bathroom door is in the face of the bed and this is annoying for the sleeper. No bathrobe, no hot water in the bathroom.

The Fairmont is our go to hotel for a staycation in Abu Dhabi and has been for a number of years now. The staff cannot do enough for you , always greet you with a smile and their attention to detail is remarkable. The rooms are clean, modern and include all amenities and the view of the grand mosque is breathtaking! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone as they have something to suit all.

Your welcome email stated welcome drinks and we did not get it. We were given a room where we can hear construction work at 3 am in the morning. Sorry guys we came to relax. Drink vouchers only allowed us soda, nothing else. On a good note your Brunch was amazing, selection, quality and taste, all were a wow. Lunch was not provided for our 5 years old, we were told it’s not included, only knew this when we were in the hotel. View from room was spectacular.
