My wife Patricia and I had a very enjoyable week at this intercontinental hotel and the superb beach area and spa. The hotel food in the Selections restaurant was excellent. All staff from the life guards on both beach and pools to the front desk staff were both friendly and helpful. I managed to leave some medicine at home and Nasr Al Abri on the front desk proved the level to which the hotel staff were willing to work to solve.my dilemma. And they did, We can only say how much we enjoyed our visit to Abu Dhabi and the magic assistances from all the staff. Special mention needs to be made to Silva, Shiju , Darins at the the front desk. We hope to return next year and expend our knowledge of a lovely country and people, Brendan Cradden . Read less

Stayed for 3 nights. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, including moving my room from a lower floor to a higher one so I could sleep in a quieter area. They did all they could to make me feel welcome and for this reason I'm sure to return. The wifi is good and the selection of buffet food in the selections restauarnt is impressive. On the downside, the rooms are a little tired (in particular the bathrooms) so a revamp is needed. They are clean, and the beds are great, but as a general feel the rooms are behind those of comparable price. In addition, if not staying as an all-inclusive guest the food & drink is expensive.

Hotel is easy to get to from Abu Dhabi airport (approx 30 mins). Good location to access all areas of Abu Dhabi including Yas Island. Hotel valet service was fast and efficient and entrance to hotel is bright and airy. Staff at reception checkin were welcoming and attentive and genuinely happy to welcome me. Had the pleasure of a free room upgrade (which was very much appreciated). Check I was fast and hassle free. Room was large with excellent views. Bed was clean and very comfortable with both soft and medium pillows for everyone’s taste. Bathroom large and clean with jacuzzi bath and separate double shower. Hotel has plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from and is socially busy at night and weekends. Breakfast was busy but still plenty of food for everyone. Food was excellent in restaurants. Checkout was again fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would stay again at this hotel. All staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Read less
