Hotel and staff are really friendly, more efforts can be done on in room dinning, very limited options, housekeeping can be more attentive.

Inadequate changing facilities, threadbare pool towels, dirty sun loungers and cushions, these things dont look good...A five star needs to be 5 star and Fairmont needs to checkout the competition.

The main pool was however slightly smaller than what we have been to in previous hotels compared to in Jumeriah.

Too few mentions to judge: room size, views, room condition, quiet at night, beds and value.
