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

Great Hotel

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
