    Not worth the money!
    It has very nice outdoor area and multiple swimming pools. Breakfast is nice and rooms are cleaned 2 times per day.
    The rooms are extremely old. We had mold in the bathroom, the wall paper was peeling off. The shower was broken, aircon stopped working 3 times in the span of 2 days. I don’t think this is 5 star hotel.

    Great stay!
    Location, Beach Access, Dining Options, Pool Area, friendly staff, cleanliness.
    Rooms are rather old and could be renovated. E.g., Installed hair dryers fail after 3min of use and need to cool down. The maintenance staff knows about the problem (apparently in all rooms the same), but at least they bring you a new one, if u ask them.

    Wonderful elegant classic hotel.
    We loved the hotel as it was very spacious and had large grounds. The view of the marina was very picturesque and charming and quite unique. The pool was uncrowded and offered a small ice box filled with bottled water for free. The room was upgraded for free and it was very large with spectacular views of the marina and the city. We booked the Club lounge which was incredible. The atmosphere is relaxed but elegant and offers non alcoholic drinks throughout the day and also 3 food presentations. The environment was delightful with individual personal service and bountiful offerings. The location was amazing and we were able to walk easily to the Corniche and also to the palace. The location is privileged as it enjoys a strategic position with a fantastic view whilst being away from the more built up areas but within walking distance of interesting sites. Taxis are so cheap in Abu Dhabi that we were able to travel easily further afield. We went for a walk to see nearby hotels, but they lacked the space of the private beach at the Intercontinental and they felt more corporate and less relaxing. We would definitely return.
    Nothing.

    A Few Bright Spots, and the Rest
    I am generally a fan of InterContinental hotels for their comfort, practical room furnishing, and good value for money. This property fell well short of expectations and appears to have management issues. There is no power outlet near the bed. The instant service line produced only noise, and despite going to reception to request an extension cord and following up twice, no solution was provided during my 4-day stay. Check-out was also slow. The desk staff initially insisted that only Booking could provide a tax receipt, which is not the case. Breakfast was good, with an excellent bread selection, a solid egg station, and a decent fruit salad. The juices were sub-par and not really drinkable. The on-site restaurants were inconsistent. The Italian restaurant served an interesting slow-cooked octopus (rubbery but tasty), followed by a very poor lasagna (more like soup, with the pasta dissolved). The fish restaurant has no real menu and asks you to choose raw fish from a display for them to cook, a pricey and unusual concept. The Brazilian steakhouse offers either the full buffet or nothing, with no menu. The Belgian Café was the standout. The Belgian Pride dishes were excellent, and the Belgian beer on tap was fresh. I went three times in a row. The music and big screens were odd, but the decor felt authentic.
    The Johnson bedside controller for the lights looks like it was taken straight from the 1970s. It takes up a huge amount of space, yet it does not control all bedroom lights. Overall, this is out of line with other properties in IHG’s flagship brand and feels like a haphazard retrofit, without anyone checking the user experience or benchmarking it against the rest of the brand.

    Make sure to use the beach club!
    Very comfy beds, really nice beach club attached which is worth a visit, 10/10 breakfast. Staff were brilliant and lovely at every interaction we had.
    We weren’t informed about the beach club access and unfortunately stumbled upon it on our last evening when we didn’t have time to use it. We were a bit disappointed as it’s lovely. The decor within the hotel in general is a bit dated and could use a refresh. The pool at the hotel (which we did use!) is a bit basic and old.
