Althouugh it is now 4 months since we spent 9 nighhts at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi, we remember it as if it was yesterday. What a fabulous property! From the moment the taxi door was opened by a staff member we were welcomed and treated with courtesy and kindness. The staff at every encounter could not have been more friendly and this added greatly to our enjoyment of the Hotel. We booked a Club room and were upgraded to a room with a view of the magnificent Grand Mosque. The room was bright, enormous and super clean. The bathroom was also huge with a rain shower and a bath. Toiletries were included. We did nhot have to ask for a thing, unlike other places where we have recently stayed. The Club itself has a lounge area and dining rooms. The excellent food was presented as a small but more than adequate buffet as well as items to order a la carte. We dined well. Staff quickly came to know our preferences for coffee or drinks with appertives. The appertives were sufficient to make a light meal! The pool area likewise was very clean with lots of lounges for relaxing under palm trees. Towels were provided. Cold bottled water was handed to us and other drinks could be ordered. The Hotel is a short taxi ride from attractions and within walking distance of a samll souk. It is in a quiet location and being on the creek, it gets cooler breezes. We would definitley return to the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr. A big thank-you to the staff for helping to make our stay so memorable and enjoyable. Read less
