I stayed at the Fairmont Bab Albahar for 2 nights and my first impression was wow. The hotel grounds were beautiful, the entrance and the lobby were beautiful. We were checked-in by The Elisha. The check in process didn’t take too long. Unfortunately we were not given a room facing the beach, however the room was clean, beautiful furniture, the room size was great and the bed was very comfortable. We went for a walk on the beach, and the beach area is very nice and tidy. Tried the breakfast, food was okay (could be better) however there are many options to choose from. General experience was great, specially the comfort of the bed and the size of the room. The service at the breakfast area was not great, however it was good enough. I would recommend for guests to stay at this hotel, and when you do make sure you get a room facing the beach area.

My family and I had a great dinner buffet. They have a wide variety of international dishes that change daily with a grills section and live station, as well as sushi! The Asian style chicken salad is always a hit and tastes great! Our dinner experience was made even better thanks to the exceptional service provided by our server that night, Mr. Narayana! He was very helpful and kind and was quick and attentive to our every request. We'll definitely back for more and are excited for your iftar buffet!

Elisha on the breakfast shift gave us 5star service he is a credit to this fabulous hotel All of the staff are so kind and caring ,they made our holiday wonderful. Special mention to the pool guys who were on the ball and Brett behind the bar who mixed great mint cocktails ,worth a try so refreshing. And a trip on a yacht is worth doing to see the mangrove and wild deer ,see “The Egyptian “a super character who will guide you on the best option to take Rafat in reception what a gentleman so kind nothing is too much trouble . Thank you for the “tour”Rafat .

My stay at the Fairmont Abu Dhabi has been truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful, and every aspect of the experience has exceeded my expectations. The entire team has been warm, welcoming, and consistently attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. I would especially like to recognise Khin, who has been incredibly kind, professional, and thoughtful throughout my visit. Her outstanding service and genuine care made a real difference and added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. I’m very grateful for the hospitality and look forward to returning in the future.
