We stayed at the Intercontinental in november and it is a really nice hotel. The employees are really nice and helpful. The different restaurants are excellent and the Belgian Cafe has a great choice of different beers. There is a nice small private beach and a nice pool. At the Beach you can´t see the ocean. In front of the beach is a construction site. The whole town is a construction site. It is 5 minutes by taxi to the great Marina Mall. There is a stop for the Big Bus Tour. This is at good way to get to the sightseeinspot of Abu Dhabi, especially the great mosque. the mosque is the most impressive place of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is a great location for a one week vacation on the beach, some sightseeing a small shopping tour.

Pros : competitive room rates, wide choice of restaurant and meal options
Cons : poor sound proofing of rooms (due to doors permitting to create communicating rooms), little reactivity to maintenance issues, poor attendance by business center staff, very bad service by drivers provided by concierge desk (lack of punctuality, unsafe driving)

This is my first review on this site, upon arriving I found myself in a valley of smiles from the staffs. There are so many of the things that made me enjoy my stay at this hotel, but my warmest congratulations to the hotel for their choice of personnel. They know how to really make you feel at home, and if you need anything it is like asking a family member. Congratulations from the heart, you were fantastic.

I checked into this hotel on a 3-day business trip to Abu Dhabi. I highly recommend for either business or leasure they have a great pool).
