The facilities are amazing - three onsite pools, multiple restaurants, and good room size and condition. Had one small issue with the shower but was sorted immediately. All room amenities were excellent, customer service was good, facilities and hotel grounds are fantastic, and is located in my favourite part of Abu Dhabi. Would highly recommend!

Nice place to stay. The cleaning staff were amazing especially A young man call HADDAM he went the extra mile to make a line to hang my washed clothes I didn’t even ask for that was very thoughtful. Thank you HADDAM!The checking in was a bit not too great i checked in on a Saturday morning she didn't mention the different times the breakfast starts and ends week days and weekends. At breakfast there was a young lady called AYE very nice and respectful always smiling . The young man at the water, fresh juice and coffee area was very friendly. The classism there is ridiculous 🙏 others started being nice when they found out I was from America or American,and also a great tipper, the staffs who wouldn't acknowledge me before, all and more kept stopping at my table to ask if i was ok or make some type of conversation it was appalling. Overall it was a great place to stay near places to visit. I will definitely recommend.

Hotel is unique with some older charm/character. However it could feel outdated in some of the rooms and shower was tiny. Had a screeching noise in my room for hours. Hotel staff came and tried to fix it. After they couldn't they still wouldn't move me. Additionally, asked for a late checkout (1pm). Housekeeping was at the door by 1030 asking me if I was checking out. Normal checkout is 12 so that was very early even without late checkout. Their check-in and check-out process takes way longer than expected also. Even with a pre-booked pre-paid room was standing in line just waiting. Appears it's not electronic and receptionist is typing a lot of information. It is a great location with great views from the rooms and the room service food was good.

Very nice, contemporary hotel with well-built rooms and walk-in showers. Nice views of the water from many rooms. Great private beach area with a great spa. Only complaint is with the gym. It has a good arrangement of equipment, including weightlifting equipment (my priority), but much of the equipment has rust on it and it makes you question the safety/maintenance and how frequently it's done on things like cables, pulleys, etc. Also, dumbbells only go up to 70lbs - would be nice to have heavier.

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

This is not a property to make you go wow, but neither is the price for this type of hotel. It’s a really good, functional resort close to the heart of Abu Dhabi. We really enjoyed our stay here, we felt comfortable and looked after by the staff. The rooms are from a previous generation, however they are spacious and functional. Try and get the highest floor possible to try and minimise the street racing that was taking place, if you got some spare money, pay for a sea/marina view room which will solve that problem!

Friendly and professional team and a great location. The team in reception, the concierge, the pool team, the restaurant team are all extremely professional and a credit to the hotel. The shared facilities including reception and the pools are good. The rooms could do with a bit of a refresh but are perfectly adequate. Very enjoyable winter break at this great location. Thank you.

You need to improve two things. 1. The lady welcomed us wasnt qualified speaking English properly. she is almost mumbling words and a bit hard to understand. The funny fact is I was born in Australia and a native speaker. 2. Someone called me in a room at 11:25, asking we are checking out or extend our stay. It is pretty rude calling directly in a room before noon and encouraged us to check out quick. This is pretty rude and funny

This is a beautiful hotel with fantastic faciltiies. There are several gorgeous dining options. The pools are lovely and the beach is such a lovely space too. There are places to walk to around and about but it is too hot for this really and it is very easy and cheap to take a taxi. If you want the waterpark and Yas island nightlife then this hotel is a good half an hour taxi ride from Yas island. however, the location for us was perfect and we were happy to travel to Island on 2 occasions rather than stay out there. The staff were just brilliant at the Intercontinental and I felt a real sense of welcoming and family friendliness, nothing was ever too much for them! I would recommend that it is worth taking the all inclusive offer. Drinks and food are expensive and so the 'All inclusive' works really well and is excellent value. There are several fantastic hotels on site and I would really recommend these, otherwise it is a taxi drive to somewhere else to eat. However, if you do want to go out and about then the hotel are flexible with the all inclusive and we were able to take it on a day to day basis which is brilliant. Loved our stay here thank you!

This is a beautiful 5 1/2 star hotel. The concierge could not be more helpful and accommodating. All staff are excellent. After one morning's breakfast almost all restaurant staff knew your name and what you liked. I cannot praise this hotel's staff enough. It’s one of the few hotels in Abu Dhabi (probably the only one) with smoking and nonsmoking rooms, two beds per room, and pork served in one restaurant.

We loved our stay. Friendly check in/front desk staff: Inna & Mona Liza. Great lifeguard from Cameroon (didn’t ask his name) and also Sabina from Nepal in the restaurant at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. We had technical issues in room 1709 with the USB charging points not working and the wardrobe light would not turn off. These were immediately fixed after I’d reported them. The towels weren’t all great - we had soft fluffy ones and this one with a hole. I also discovered what might have been chocolate chips on the carpet beside the bed/bedside cabinet.

Check-in took more than a half hour. It was a public holiday, so they were very busy, and it was obvious that staff was doing their best, but they needed more staff on duty to help with the high volume of guests. There were no functioning key cards when I was checking in, so I was shown to my room and let in by staff, but I was given a key that didn't function and was told to return to reception in 30 minutes to activate it, leaving me unable to comfortably leave and return to my room/move about the hotel. The room also seemed like it had been cleaned in a hurry. I found someone else's hair on the shower wall in the bathroom when I used it for the first time, and the shower didn't function well. The drain was clogged and water collected on the shower floor. The AC was not intuitive for use, but the staff was swift to help us with that.

What makes this hotel a truly unique place are the people who work there. Staff was always kind, helpful, smiling, working very hard to make guests happy and that should be recognised foremost. The hotel has its own history which is fantastic and when you read the lower score reviews don't discourage yourself from booking because slightly outdated furniture doesn't matter at all. Rooms are spacious and tidy, it's quite and safe with easy parking and you can walk to the Corniche beach. We loved our stay and would honestly recommend it. Thank you Intercontinental Abu Dhabi for making our stay with you a memorable experience.
