Ok, brace yourselves... We have visited several hotels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai over the years. The Fairmont has now moved to the top of our list for the following aspects, which will assist potential travellers in making the right decision in deciding to visit Fairmont BabAl Bahr! To start with, I would say most staff in the hotels in AD are usually very good, but the Fairmont staff were sublime, to name but a few. Laura (The Manager) Was a lovely person, and if it was only herself that was mentioned, we would return to this hotel. Ronaldo (Reception / front desk): the same as Laura. There is no problem too big for Ronaldo, and we had a few issues, small, but these were resolved with no quibble. I think next has to be a young lady named Asha, located in Bridges bar what a breath of fresh air and a great asset to your company. Benjamin at the poolside, this fellow enabled our stay to be extremely relaxed, and I decided to return in March partly based upon his attention and service. A mention for the rest of the boys at the pool and Simon, one of the lifeguards. Whilst on the subject of the poolside, a word of caution to Fairmont. On the Friday of our stay, there was an open day or holiday of sorts, and the pool was busy, which in itself is not a problem, but it was chaotic in the pool area where some of the children were acting feral with nanny's standing by having no influence whatsoever, only the lifeguards who tried to control their behaviour with no effect. Something to be aware of for the hotel. I would say most guests in our area were commenting on this. The staff did their utmost to control the situation. The food options at the hotel were excellent; we tried the Italian and the Mediterranean, and as they were so good, we returned twice. The Buffett's choices would suit most pallets, and the fish night, which I think was on Saturday, was one of the best that we have seen and eaten. :) A few shoutouts: Elisha went out of his way to ensure our dining was a lovely event on the evenings we ate in the Buffet. I was not well for a few days, and this chap went out of his way to check up and have a plate of fruit and water where taken to our room, thank you, Elisha. A young man, his name was Majid (main restaurant), needs to be thanked for his attentive manner; he would spot us as we arrived and would float in between other guests but would always ask if we needed anything. We had a room facing the canal and Mosque. The room was big, airy, and immaculate, and the turndown service was always a nice thing to come back to after dinner. We did not try the gym. The pool is an enormous 30 M long, clean as a whistle, and has a lovely temperature. We used poolside dining, which was very good. The beach is spacious, and the water in the canal is warm it is murky this is due to the sandy environment. It is clean. There is a jetty in the middle of the beach area where you can sit and take in lovely sunsets over the Mosque in the evening. There were always beds available; there was no struggle there, even with those who like to put towels on beds at 3 AM.. ahum.. We tried the coffee cafe opposite reception, and the coffee was good, and the lady serving was lovely, I got an additional biscuit. I have no name. However, I think maybe she was East European. The Hotel is only 20-30 minutes from the airport we used Booking.com for the taxi. Price. The Fairmont we found is more competitive than similar 5-star hotels. We had half board and we used Kenwood Travel whom we have found to be an excellent travel company with good prices. We stayed for 7 nights in October. I hasten to add we fully recommend this hotel to you. You will not be disappointed
