The Intercontinental Abu Dhabi offers a calm and cozy experience, particularly appreciated for its large, landscaped area, private beach, and multiple pools, including a children's pool with a spiral slide and inflatable trampoline. Dining is a highlight, with diverse meal options at the restaurant on the 3rd floor, featuring varied seafood and meat dishes. Some guests have found the hotel to be slightly dated. Nevertheless, many recommend trying to get a sea view room, especially overlooking the Marina, for great views.

The room i got was a bit of a letdown. the furniture looked worn, and some of the lights didn't work properly. also, getting around the hotel was confusing. The signs were not clear, and i often found myself wandering around (it felt a bit like a maze, honestly).
