    Bought an upgrade to Fairmont gold. However, the room that we got is not a sea view. The first receptionist that assisted us didn’t informed us that our request for an upgrade was approved. Never received a call if our room is already available. We just learned that we got upgraded to gold when we asked if our room is now available and informed us that our request was approved. Not a nice experience from that lady who first assisted us. Thank you to the filipina who informed and explained the benefits of being a gold guest.

    The location.

    Half board option wasn't the best. No drinks included, and many of the "better" restaurants you had to pay a supplement to either just eat there or pay a supplement to have different options on what was a fairly limited menus. We ended up having later breakfasts and then eating out somewhere where you had much better options. Rooms were very clean but a little dated, bathroom sink and bath plug didn't work (asked to be fixed but never was). The AC wasn't the most powerfull either and never got down to 20degs which we had it set at at night. Good turn down service where they provide you with more water for the night.

    Hotel staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfasts were incredible, everything you could possibly think of or want.

    It was surprising that they tried to charge for the water at the breakfast although everywhere else, including the rooms, it was free.

    The location and the ofen buffet is amazing. Not a huge area but the rooms are larger than normal size.

    The outside facilities were very good. However the beach had very poor sand and on either side of the beach area were beach clubs who's music was played at such a high volume that it spoiled the quiet relaxation. Because of this we were forced to retire to the adult pool which was enjoyable but not as pleasant as spending time on the beach.

    Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Rooms were spacious, comfortable and exceptionally clean. House keeping staff were particularly dilligent in their duties. Restaurants were good. The Asian and Indian restaurants were outstanding. The food was of a very high standard. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay.

    • Stayed 4 nights

    In overall terms everything is ok, but some aspects to review and improve: 1. More options on the breakfast. 2. Noisy club in front of the swimming pools. 3. The Ice cream counter captures your attention with the flavors available, but the taste is not what you expect. 4. The bed was good, but the mattress was very soft, killing our backs and the same happened with the pillows. 5. There are many activities available, but nothing you can check easily, probably a big screen to check the activities and booking will be good.

    The location and facilities for kids are really good

    Don’t go in school hols unless you have children. Even then family pool and outside space not big enough for a full hotel. Adult only pool busy too. Resorted to putting towels on sunbeds around pool 7.30 am. Gave up and went to beach which again not enough space when full. It emptied out after a few days and was better but still the sunbed run. Do not expect this at this type of hotel.

    Breakfast in gold lounge good. Less choice than main restaurant but that was very busy with queue as school hols. All restaurants excellent and staff outstanding. Shopping mall 10 mins walk away.

    The Boldly Asian restaurant, below than average food mixed with a disaster service. We were half board clients of the hotel and we felt like we are a low class client of the restaurant

    Location, facilities, staff everything was perfect, the Seagrill bistro and Little Miss India are both wonderful amendments of the hotel- unlike the Boldly Asian

If i need a towel i would have called and asked for it! He made my stay so unpleasant and not sure if i will be back

    The restaurant prices have become far too expensive within the hotel , we had many really good meals in the Dubai Mall and Emirates Mall, therefore the hotel needs to address this lost business
