Pros:

Great hotel, excellent staff and service. The team that took care of Fairmount Gold Club guests was outstanding. The housekeeping was a bit of hit and miss. On the fifth floor, the rooms were not being cleaned well. On the 7th floor, they were immaculate. The windows of the hotel were quite dirty from outside. The hotel should clean them more often.
The breakfast was excellent. I wish the hotel had another pool inside for extremely hot periods.

Pros:

Lovely stay at the Fairmont. Staff were lovely especially Stephen, Katrina, Shaniya and the gentleman at the entrance of the hotel. It was very close to all the attractions and places we wanted to visit. Breakfast was good - just very busy! Queue system needs looking at. Other than our stay was lovely. The pools and beach are beautiful and the the view of the mosque from the hotel was stunning. Would stay here again x

Only I wasn’t very pleased with the delays when I forgot my passports on the hotel. They did manage the problem but took their time with minimal unclear communication. Stressful waiting time I had to bare.

Great Hotel
Pros:

Started off poor as arrived at 09:30am and although I asked for early check-in where possible I was told impossible and the hotel was full. I had to leave hotel and catch a taxi as everything was far. I arrived back at 2pm and a supervisor took my check-in and upgraded me to sea view room (amazing) she was honest (Sally) to say some rooms were not ready as they are being serviced, which made sense, didn’t like how I was lied to originally. Anyway this place is really good, shout out to Cheeka at breakfast and Zahid & Michael in Conceriage who were so friendly. This place is far from anything so be prepared to spend on taxis. It’s great if you just want to chill and get the sun in. I’d go back. Tip Dubai is an hour away and cost £7 by Airport shuttle. Worth doing a day trip

Pros:

It's a beautiful property. Our room was very spacious with a wonderful view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. However, we were disappointed with the quality of food and service in the restaurants. The breakfast buffet was underwhelming and the service at Mazaj was disappointing and (somewhat condescending).
