Hotel setting and accommodation are absolutely amazing. The following serving staff needs a special mention as they made our trip exceptional. Prasodhon who was the breakfast manager. Elisha and Shikhar excellent breakfast serving staff. Archana who was the breakfast host. Around the pool we were looked after by Brett, who couldn't do enough for us. And last but not least Marah the waitress in the Sports Bar. Their service made our stay even better than expected.

Had an opportunity to stay in this lovely accommodation. It was an awesome experience and everything was to the highest standards. From room to catering to facilities, everything was excellent. Comfort and luxury to the highest level. Highly professional staff from front desk to housekeeping and catering. Want to say special thanks to the Chef Chandrakant Joshi, who went out of the way and served us mouth watering breakfast. Its a must stay when we will visit Abu Dhabi next time, and will look forward for the same hospitability and services again.

Hotel room was lovely, spacious and quiet and very comfortable. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful and friendly and we enjoyed some excellent banter with many of them, particularly Adam on reception when we checked out at midnight and also the waiters at Marco’s restaurant 👍

First I need to say what wonderful support the hotel gave when my wife became critically ill, arranging an emergency ambulance and many members of staff subsequently asking about her progress. Particular mention of Eve who was calm and very helpful, and made sure we took our passports to the hospital which turned out to be essential Excellent food provided by chef Daniel Corraya in the Gold Lounge. Great choice of hot and cold food at breakfast and lunch, tasty canapés in the evening. Also excellent service from butlers Mark and Paolo who were friendly and polite without being at all intrusive.

We’ve stayed at the Bab on numerous occasions but it’s been a few years since our last visit. As soon as we walked into the lobby and recognised the familiar scent, we knew we were at home! We were welcomed and check in was fast and friendly. Our lovely room was specially decorated just for us with personal touches that you just wouldn’t get elsewhere! The Gold Lounge was amazing. Tasty breakfast and afternoon tea with friendly and professional staff. Our evening drinks and canapés were always wonderful. The lounge was peaceful and the staff always went that extra mile to make us happy and comfortable. No matter how many times we visit, I never tire of that view across the creek to the mosque. The beach was also quiet with plenty of space available. This is one hotel where you never struggle for a sunbed. Again, the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a great location with nice views, out of the centre of Abu Dhabi but close enough to the CBD, Yas Island and the Airport. We always enjoy taking a walk from the Fairmont to the souk which is only 5/10 minutes walk away. Special thanks to the fabulous Gold Team who always make our holiday so special. Stephen, Rajan, Paolo, Loving, Mark, Rony and the very special, Mariam. We can’t to see you all in April!
