Abu Dhabi: Avontuurlijke vakanties

Goed hotel allen de douche kop was kapot en de foune

Nice hotel although the years have gone. We had a room at the street side and we could hear the cars. So if you sleep light I would recommend a pool room. Food in the restaurant for breakfast was great a lot of choices there.

This is a great hotel, clean spacious rooms, excellent breakfast, nice swimming pool, amazing gym. However - in a beach resort one expects to be able to swim and snorkle extensively and this was not the case. The beach is very flat wich means swimming is optimal way beyond the bouys only; if you go left in the bay there is a (very quiet) harbour and people complain that it is not safe for swimming, if you go right in the bay (where all the fish are) you are called back because you get too close to a palace. There is no proper marking how far one is allowed to swim allong the causeway, which means that all the time you fear getting into trouble. In short - an amazing but expensive hotel if you are with small children and do not want to swim in the sea, an expensive and frustrating experience if you want to go snorkling and see the local fish in their natural habitat.

Intercontinental is a great brand. I am a very frequent visitor and always loved my stays. But this hotel has 2 faces: services and people are on IHG level Good to great staff. But the accommodation has passed its shelf life; sleeping rooms, bath rooms and some public places are way below IC level. Some more explanation:The rooms - ours was on the Club floor - are in big need of complete renovation, there is too much silicone kit patchwork. Wear and tear is visible everywhere. Towels and bathrobes are sometimes torn and worn out. Bath room sink is too dirty(silicone again). Shower is not working properly. Wall plugs that are unstable. Telephone plug does not connect anymore to the phone etc etc. Here I stop. Small things but too many of them in this hotel. The whole hotel needs a revamp to bring it to the level of the great Intercontinental brand. I feel sorry for the well-trained , firendly and very attentive staff, but we will not come back in IC Abu Dhabi until it has been modernized

Zeer goed hotel met zeer vriendelijk en hulpvaardig personeel. Restaurant Blue Grill van zeer goede kwaliteit, echter niet goedkoop. Ook een zeer gezellige bar met vaak happy hour (2 drankjes voor de prijs van 1). Mooi zwembad maar ligt 's middags wel in de schaduw. Gratis toegang tot hippe beachclub op 10 minuten lopen van het hotel. Ferrari world en Yas water world zijn goed bereikbaar met gratis express bus. Aanrader is kamer met balkon. Uitzicht op F1 circuit. Aanrader is ook de hop on hop off bus, Big Bus. Ga zeker langs en naar binnen bij de moskee. Zeer indrukwekkend! Overall een geweldige vakantie gehad.

Goed hotel gelegen in een omgeving

De kamer was top! Modern ingericht. We hadden een race track zicht kamer geboekt en zaten recht tegenover het circuit op bovenste (8e) verdieping van het hotel. Personeel was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk (zelfs de badmeesters). Het ontbijt was uitmuntend met zeer veel keuze.
