I recently stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed my time. The location is fantastic with stunning views of the ocean and skyline, and the staff were incredibly passionate and friendly, which made a big difference. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t quite meet my expectations, as I found it a bit below the standard I hoped for. Overall, it was a good value for money considering the luxurious feel and great service.

The Intercontinental Abu Dhabi is a clean and comfortable hotel with great amenities and a beautiful beach location, making it pretty appealing overall. However, I found the service to be a bit slow and unwelcoming at times, and the rooms labeled as having a sea view could be misleading depending on their location. The air conditioning was also tricky to adjust. It's a nice stay, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
