Beautiful swim up bar, great views, exceptional breakfast buffet, and easy access to everything Abu Dhabi has to offer! Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, Makesh (bartender at Splash) was very friendly and hospitable. Amanda (Front desk manager) made our stay here so easy and comfortable 5/5 stars would come again. If in Abu Dhabi this is an excellent place to stay.

The hotel itself is very nice however one main issue was a big let down - The pool was closed for our entire stay. When we checked in we were told that the pool was closed for urgent maintenance. That can happen but why not inform guests ahead of their arrival? I received an email from guest relations the previous day listing out my Marriott bonvoy benefits at the hotel and some of the facilities but no mention of the pool being closed. We were told that we could use the pool at the local sports resort. The first morning I went to reception to get a voucher and was informed that it was ladies day so men could not go to the pool. (Tues & Thur). Also being a platinum member, I asked if an upgrade was available, I was told I was given a Superior room - I explained that's exactly what i had booked. I was then given an upgrade to a suite, ideally I should not have to ask for that. At checkout I was asked about my stay and I asked why we were not informed ahead of arrival, the reply - "Well sir the pool has reopened today" Yeah thanks, good to know as I am checking out :) The breakfast was very good, all the staff were very friendly although with the exception of the reception who were not very welcoming. I'm sure there will be a generic reply to this stating that the feedback will be taken onboard but unfortunately that does not fix a disappointing stay.

The hotel is generally good. BUT: - Front desk staff, with few exceptions (such as Mr. Abdalla), are not exactly examples of friendly and motivated employees. Also, they are apparently not appropriately trained on how to issue room keys. They will make sure that you will have access not to all, but either of, (1) your room, (2) the executive lounge, or (3) the elevator. Don't even try to use the mobile key in the Bonvoy App. Al Forsan front desk staff will make sure that it doesn't work, even after repeated friendly reminders. - Breakfast at Khayal is good on the surface. Special gratitude and praise goes out to Thai Chef May and Chef Niroj, who keep the Khayal restaurant running irrespective of how crowded it may be. Unfortunately, there are other staff who will not respond well to friendly communication and your compliance with commonly accepted conventions, such as queuing. Whoever is loudest, uses the most commanding tone and disrespects queue will be served first, while you will be told in stern terms to "wait!". Non-verbal communication will make you understand that your request is a nuisance, with the implicit accusation that you are selfish and lack empathy. Don't expect an apology or a conciliatory gesture when raising any issue. For clarity: the floor staff serving the tables are professional, cheerful and highly accommodating. This contrast between the serving and cooking staff will leave you confused.

Great hotel in Abu Dhabi, spent a month at Marriott Al Forsan for a work trip. Service at the hotel is great everyone is very welcoming. Special mention to Ravi and Chaminda from housekeeping keeping my room clean and fresh everyday. Roshan and Udith from the Pool/Gym always there with a smile and some good conversation throughout my stay. Lakshan and Nuwan from the Khayal Restaurant providing great service and awesome food. I had an awesome stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone.

So disappointing! Will not stay here again. The pool was closed and we were not informed before booking. Not the 5 star service we hoped for. Would definitely not recommend. Hopefully, this doesn’t happen to anyone else, as we booked the hotel for the pool facilities. They then said we could use a local pool, this had dirty sun loungers and definitely not what you would expect when paying for a 5 star hotel.

This has been our go to hotel in AD for years, great pool, beautiful rooms & an ok club lounge but all that changed this week. One niggle we’ve always had is that no guest history is ever used to welcome back or preempt specific preferences. This means trying to get in touch (with difficulty) with reservations to request a room with a certain outlook, where possible & bedding requests. Even when you find the contact information no one responds. This visit we booked a balcony room & sent through 2 requests to which we again received no acknowledgment. We stated a late arrival at the hotel. When we last stayed in Nov we were advised by the manager that the pool was closing maybe February for refurb so we messaged the hotel to ask when it was happening & their response said April. So….. We booked our balcony room, arrived at 11.30pm to be told that the hotel was full so they could not provide a room with a balcony (which we pay extra for) . The suite they provided (huge unused space for us & nothing luxurious) had no balcony & faced in the opposite direction to our request (to be out of the afternoon sun). They also couldn’t confirm if the requested mattress topper had been put on the bed. As it was late we decided to just take the room & sort things out in the morning for the rest of our stay. As we were handed our key we then were given a letter to say that the pool was closed for the duration of our stay!! Instead we would be taken by golf buggy to the sports centre 5 minutes away. To say we were angry is an understatement as the main reason we visit the hotel is to use the pool & we had checked that it would be open. No one had thought to alert visitors that this facility would be unavailable for 12 days. The next morning we asked to see the DM who said a room with a balcony would be arranged for us & transportation to the sports centre was arranged. On getting there we were told that it was ladies day & no men were allowed in!!!! So at that point we returned to the hotel, packed our bags & moved to the Ritz Carlton. This hotel is gradually increasing its room rate & some dates is more expensive than the RC. It is not a patch on the RC so in our opinion it is pricing itself out of the market. We seen 3 GMs run this hotel & sadly won’t be back to see the next one which is such a shame.
