We stayed at the hotel in early March for 6 days. We understood that the sea was cool, but we really wanted to measure the picture. And we didn't regret choosing this hotel for a minute. We really liked the hotel. Our room was on the 6th floor with a view of the mosque (we booked it specially, if possible, I advise everyone to name these rooms, the view is worth it))) The territory is small but compact. The food is above praise, there is a lot of seafood, every day, magical breakfasts. Coffee, tea, and fresh juices. For lunch, we went to the surrounding places, or went to the center. Nearby in walking distance, along the shore, past the hotels in 5 minutes and you are in a beautiful shopping center with various restaurants, a beautiful hotel), if you go a little further, there will be a beautiful embankment. In the evenings we went to restaurants in the hotel. We went to all the restaurants and hotels.But I liked Marco Pierre White Steakhous the most. Although everything, all the restaurants are great. Each has its own zest, and its own delicious dishes. The hotel left a good impression. I think we will come again if possible, but we will already consider the rooms on the 7th floor.

A wonderful hotel!We returned from vacation last week, the weather is great in August, don't believe anyone)We had a rest with the children, the hotel is decent, we have been to other hotels in Abu Dhabi, there is something to compare it with!I would definitely go again, the restaurants are very tasty, they took everything inclusive, I recommend it!The food, the hotel, the staff, the hotel staff-everything is great!Mostly British, Arabs, French and Chinese, very few Russians!There is a Russian-speaking staff, or rather you can find it in restaurants, it's not a problem to place an order in English!In general, the Fairmont hotel chain did not disappoint!I definitely recommend it!Taxi to the airport 36 dirhams, out of 50!It is also convenient and inexpensive to get to the shopping center!

An excellent family hotel with its own beach with access to both pools and the "big water", the water on the bay / canal, although not perfectly clear, allows children to spend quite a long time there, the impeccable attitude of the staff with 2 cleaning a day.. The hotel is populated, overwhelmingly Most couples with children should understand this. There are also quite a few Russian-speaking guests, you will not be bored.

The only food I liked was breakfast, dinner-the one that is included in the boarding package -the choice and quality is not very good. There are separate restaurants, but we made a choice in favor of non-hotel restaurants. In general, there is middle-class food everywhere, everything is imported and not always ripe (fruits). The room is without question, gorgeous, with a view of the mosque. The water in the bay is rotten, mud is floating and swimming there is not worth it. The pool is like a swimming pool, clean, excellent, comfortable sun beds and beach service.

We stayed at the hotel in early April 2025. We chose this hotel because we had previously vacationed in hotels of this chain and were satisfied. This time, our expectations were also fulfilled. The private beach is clean, there are enough sun beds for everyone, but it is comfortable to swim only in the morning (algae and mud appear in the afternoon). Delicious and varied breakfasts – always fresh products, a large selection. The convenient location is close to the airport, and there is also a supermarket nearby with reasonable prices. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds and daily cleaning service. A good pool is large, but due to the number of guests, free sun beds are not always easy to find. The hotel is far from the center, but we solved this by ordering a taxi (it is convenient that Yandex Go works with payment by Russian card). The rooms are a little tired, but everything is clean and tidy. The sea in the afternoon is less pleasant for swimming. We had dinner both at the hotel (delicious, the prices are average) and nearby in the shopping center (walk along the beach for 10 minutes) – I especially liked the Lebanese restaurant. Conclusion: The hotel is perfect for relaxing holidays with children or those who want a comfortable stay by the pool without focusing on the sea.

I really liked the hotel. Buffet dinners are worthy of a Michelin star! The beach is small, in the bay, but clean and secluded. The room is spacious with a kingsize bed, the renovation is a bit old, but this is compensated by the room service.

One of our favorite hotels in Abu Dhabi! Every corner of the hotel is a work of art! A gorgeous, large room with a view of the canal and the mosque! An incredibly comfortable bed! Cosmetics in the bathroom of the brand of selective perfumery Le Labo! We had breakfast-dinners, you can change the restaurant for dinner! It's incredibly delicious everywhere! I suddenly liked the Lebanese restaurant! There's a brunch on the weekend! Mussels, shrimp, sushi, meat, wok, grill! For every taste and color! The beach is big enough! Nice pool!

In short: not exactly 5 stars, but 4 is just right. Now in more detail: Positive: — Cool room layout. Almost every room is very spacious and has a panoramic window with a magnificent view of the city/sea (if you live higher up, you just can't take your eyes off, especially at night) — A small, but very clean and cozy beach (you don't have to worry about safety either: the appearance of any marine vermin dangerous to the upright is simply excluded) — A huge variety of fish and desserts in restaurants (sushi, shrimp and a bunch of exotic things, the name of which I was caught copying from the Internet) — Polite staff Now to the cons: — Honestly, I would like to have more territory. Seriously, arriving at a hotel in the capital of the emirates, which asks for about 30k per night, you expect something more than a small pool, a beach and a micro playground. — Not a very varied diet. Of course, the abundance of overseas delicacies was very pleasantly surprised, but there are not many other dishes. In a word, it's strange — A very inconvenient elevator system. The bottom line is that the elevator can ONLY take you to the main floor and to the floor with your room (it works according to the cards). In other words, the situation is as follows: if your room is on the 3rd floor, then you can only get to floors 2, 4-7 through the stairs. — Rather than a negative, it's just a warning: weddings of all kinds are often celebrated here, so it can be a bit noisy at times. In general, if you are planning a vacation in the UAE for more than 5-7 days, then I would advise you to look at other hotels, because here, most likely, you will get bored pretty quickly. This hotel will be the best option only if you have any other excursions and other "off-site events" in your plans.

Be prepared for the fact that for lunch/ dinner you will be offered 2 restaurants: Italian cuisine and Turkish. And one day the event was closed and the Italian restaurant was closed . They offered a sushi bar instead of an Italian one. If you are with a child, then of course so-so … There are always some weddings , events , etc. Everything would be fine if it didn 't bother the guests .

I have been vacationing at the hotel since early February 2024. The hotel is owned by the Fairmont Group. This means that the service will be on top. The hotel is located near the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Most of the rooms have a very beautiful view of it. The territory of the hotel is small, but very beautiful. As there is no such sea, but the water in the canal is very clean and just as salty. The plaques are the simplest. There are always sun beds. There are two swimming pools on site (one for children). There is also a Jacuzzi. The staff is helpful, special thanks to Elmira. The girl helped to solve all the issues very quickly and also made a late check-out as a compliment. The half-board concept includes breakfasts and dinners. But the buffet is only on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. (Everything is very tasty) There are many types of meat and seafood. Rolls in the assortment. On other days, you can dine either in an Italian restaurant or in a Lebanese one (3 dishes to choose from on the menu). Both are delicious. You can also order a hookah on the summer verandas (2500 rubles for our money). Alcohol is expensive, a glass of wine 1500 rubles. Also, I really liked the room. A large comfortable bed. Panoramic windows and a cool bathtub with a view of the mosque. Le Lebo cosmetics. The room has an iron, slippers, bathrobes and toiletries. The mini bar is paid. Overall, the hotel is very decent. I recommend it for couples and singles. With small children, it will be inconvenient in terms of food. There is a very good supermarket and pharmacy 2 km away. There is a small shop right next to the hotel.

My husband and I were vacationing at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr Hotel on February 3-11, 2024. We had a room: Fairmont King Mosque/Canal View, 2 Adl. We were on the ground floor (room 141). The room is very spacious (45 sq.m.). The view from the window of the mosque and the bay is simply amazing! We especially enjoyed taking a bubble bath with this beautiful view. The room has everything you need: an ironing board and an iron (they were in the closet), 2 bathrobes, a coffee machine (2 capsules per person were given free of charge every day), bottled water (2 bottles of 0.5 per person were replenished every day), tea (different bags + sugar), a shaving kit (razor and shaving soap, but my husband said that the razor is very bad, so who needs it, maybe it's better to take your own from home), a wooden comb, a hair dryer, a toothbrush and paste, body lotion, cotton pads and ear sticks, a nail file, shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel. The room is not shabby, not shabby, the repair is good. We really liked that there were 2 sinks, a shower and a bathtub, which accelerated the process of going anywhere. The bed is huge (1.8 m wide), one large blanket and 4 pillows (2 pillows per person), the mattress is very high and comfortable. Food. We had breakfasts and dinners. Everything is very tasty. Breakfast is always a buffet and it is the same day after day: different bread, sliced cheese, cottage cheese, 2 types of red fish, turkey and chicken, there was no sausage, an omelet is cooked to order, boiled eggs, fried eggs are also for you, stewed vegetables, bacon, sausages of 2 types, beans stewed, various tortillas with filling on top, waffles, pancakes, croutons, vegetables, fruits, fruit salad, yoghurts (3 types). An area with different types of muesli (5-6 types, 3 types of milk (full fat, skimmed and coconut or soy), honey (several types + even honeycombs hung). Tea (+ mint, lemon, ginger) and coffee (several types of coffee, cappuccino can be made with coconut or soy milk) As for dinners, the system is as follows: buffet on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and on other days you can go to a restaurant of your choice. Only water is included in the dinners, all other drinks are paid. There are a lot of different dishes on the buffet, everything is very high-quality and interesting: every day there is a separate area with rolls and sushi + shrimp and mussels. There were a lot of meat dishes on one day: various kebabs, steaks, burgers. Another day there were many fish dishes: different fish, salad with shrimp, 2 soups with seafood, lobsters, noodles with shrimp, rice with shrimp, seafood in sauce. There is an Italian restaurant (where you choose 3 dishes from the menu) and a Mediterranean restaurant Maraj (where you choose 4 dishes from the menu). We liked everything in the Italian restaurant, it was delicious. In the Maraj restaurant, some dishes were very tasty, and some we did not understand and could not appreciate, but here it tastes and colors. Pool: for us, the water in the pool was cold (about 22 degrees), and in general, few people swam. The pool has different depths, the deepest place is 1.95 m. There is a Jacuzzi, the water is warm there, but for some reason there are no bubbles. There are a lot of free sun beds on the beach and on the pool. Towels are provided in the hotel building, there is also a locker room with a shower, toilet and storage lockers + there is a small sauna (separate: men's and women's). We were in the pool 2 times, the first time in the afternoon the water was cold, and the second time a few days later we went to the pool at about 17:00-17:30 and the water in the pool was warm, it was much warmer, it was comfortable to swim. We didn't understand why the water was at different temperatures. The distance to the sights. We only went everywhere by taxi. It takes about 20-25 minutes to get to the airport, the Emirates Zoo Park, the Warner Bros amusement park and the water park, and we drove 5 minutes from the mosque to the hotel. In principle, there is a bus stop not far from the hotel, we passed it by taxi (about 300-400 meters from the hotel). The staff is very friendly, everyone smiles, greets, tries to help and please. My husband and I recommend this hotel. There were several outlets in the hotel, one of them is universal (for Euro and British plug), the rest are purely British So it's better to take your adapter.

One of the best hotels in Abu Dhabi, with its own beach, a huge heated pool, a large area for walking, a gym is open until 1 a.m., morning breakfasts inside and outside, and you can also take it with you to the pool, where in the morning the guys have prepared sun beds with towels for you. Very polite and attentive staff, never denied anything, room cleaning in the morning and evening still bring water and coffee, suddenly you drank everything during the day 😀 As for prices, if you do not book in advance, then for a week a room with a view of the beach and the mosque will cost 650 thousand rubles, this is without food. There is also a private dining area on the 7th floor, where 65 thousand rubles are knocked for a room of 3 people : breakfast/ lunch/dinner + alcohol The hotel is not in the heart of Abu Dhabi, but there is a great promenade nearby where a lot of people gather in the evening and restaurants, coffee shops and a cinema work for you, as well as boat trips, as there is a complex in the form of a pier along the entire length. A very quiet and peaceful place, I recommend this hotel 100%%

There are no balconies or loggias, i.e. the rooms, except for air conditioners, are not ventilated. So the hotel is modern, Russian-speaking staff at the reception, and in some restaurants too. The cuisine of pardon is not for a normal person, there are so many spices that it's a kick, i.e. there are very few normal dishes, and the locals also add. The pool is nice, there is a Jacuzzi. In short, an amateur

The hotel is excellent, a large hall, high ceiling, a cafe on the left, the reception staff is working on the right and a little further into the concierge desk, Michael and Zahid are working there, they are as attentive as possible to the needs of guests, very nice guys, if you are late, they will help you to make it, they will find anything. There is a girl who speaks Russian. The rooms are beautiful, panoramic Windows, I came across a room that offers a view of the mosque. The pool has a bar and is large for swimming. If you forgot to buy a sunscreen (and you will need it, you do not need to spoil your vacation) or something else, then go to the store to the right of the hotel by the road. I wish you all a good rest.

The rooms are large, but tired. The sewer system is often clogged. The restaurant is not intended for children. Adults can choose, children don't care. There's a problem with desserts. And in general, it is not designed for the European contingent. Permanent weddings and events - 90% of the time, part of the beach is not accessible. Either an event is being held or preparations are being made for it. In this price segment, a hotel should not be chosen for recreation, especially with children.

Pros: very tasty and varied food, courteous staff, chic rooms. We stayed at the hotel for a week, we really liked everything. If I'm not mistaken, there are five restaurants in the hotel: buffet, Italian (three dishes to choose from for free), Lebanese (four dishes to choose from), sushi (free for 149 dirhams) and steakhouse (paid, with some super famous chef). There are two alcohol bars on the beach and pool. A glass of beer is 1,250 rubles. The rooms are huge, with panoramic windows, most with views of the beach and the Grand Mosque of Sheikh Zayed. Do not believe the reviews where it says that the outside of the glass is not transparent))))). Cons: the hotel is located on a narrow channel, not on the sea, but the water is clean, yellow sand, it's nice to swim.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, it takes about 30 minutes to get to the center by taxi. There is no open beach with a horizon, there is a bay. It's convenient with children - there were no waves in winter, and it's not so windy. Separately, I would like to note the quality of service: -clean rooms; -high-quality cleaning; - in the evening, they also offer water and ask if something else is needed; -the food is on the level, and you like it- in the morning chia pudding, 2 types of fish, a diverse selection of fruits, including tropical ones. For dinner every day there were shrimp- boiled/fried, fish, mussels. - in the evening, not every day there is a Buffet dinner, we were sent to restaurants: Turkish/Italian, where there is a menu selection. -there are no open balconies (those with small children are probably a plus); -the rooms have a bathtub and a shower; - gorgeous view of the mosque.

Overall, the hotel is not bad, the breakfasts are delicious. The rooms are a bit tired, unfortunately. Among the advantages: beautiful territory, large swimming pool, food, friendly staff, always plenty of free sun beds (except Saturdays) On the downside: the sea is not very good. We went to the beach in the center and even got upset that the sea looked completely different here. We couldn't exchange cash, the reception didn't offer any solutions to the problem, but after hearing the conversation, the problem was solved by the girl (as I understood from guest relations) and we were taken to the shopping center for free and there we exchanged money. The shopping center is called Rabdan mall. And on the last day, the room was badly cleaned and I forgot to partially give towels. What is important to pay attention to: the location is far from the center, but near the White Mosque. The sea is a bay, the view is really beautiful, but for those who like the open sea and look into the distance, it is not very suitable. Bottom line: I recommend it, but pay attention to some details) Photo: the sea at the Corniche beach and the sea at the hotel

I still don't understand the concept of the hotel. Expensive, spacious room, but absolutely uncomfortable - the toilet and bathroom are located directly in the bedroom (separated by a frosted door and without sound insulation, while the living room and bedroom area are separated only by a partition on the floor of the room without a door). It was inconvenient with the children there - I had to go into the bathroom in a bathrobe, which had no hooks where to hang it. Despite the platinum status, the program offered nothing but 4 free drinks. From the good - delicious breakfasts both in the main area and in the lounge; gorgeous view of the White Mosque from the lounge; beautiful beach. The general conclusion: expensive, but pointless.

There is only one disadvantage for those who are waiting for the classical understanding of the sea. This is not the sea :) this is a beach with a strip of water (see the map). For those who like to take a dip, children are normal. For those who like to look into the distance, sailing is not the place.
