Review of Fairmont Ajman, UAE

Well, the hotel itself is fine: rooms are spacious and pretty convenient (though for instance balcony doors are very hard to slide), well equipped and do not seem too used (though the carpets, tiles and some parts tell you the hotel is not new and the taste of the decorators was initially questionable). The gym is very well equipped with hammam and sauna, new expensive machines and so on. Personnel is quite friendly however forgetful - very common they forget to bring (or check that you have enough) towels or replenish tee/coffee, and you never know at what time they'll do room cleaning but in general staff is very positive and ever ready to satisfy your basic requests.
What was absolutely inappropriate for s 5* hotel was food. Breakfast for two costs 65, seriously? For disgusting sausages, average bakery, lack of vegetables and very cheap cheeses?
And the beach. On the one hand quite well equipped but on the other hand littered and obviously not regularly cleaned. If you host pigs, well that's a big problem but if you know this problem then you need to do something with it. "If I ignore it maybe it will go away" doesn't work here, sorry.
All in all for a low price this could be a good choice but don't expect a true 5* hotel vacation.
