We always have such a lovely time at the pool and bar at Marriott Al Forsan. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy a drink and spend the day by the pool, and the service is consistently excellent. A special mention has to go to Makesh, who is absolutely wonderful. He is always so friendly, welcoming and helpful and genuinely goes out of his way to make sure we are looked after. He always greets us with a smile and remembers us whenever we visit, which makes such a difference. Makesh is a real credit to the Marriott Al Forsan team and one of the reasons we enjoy coming back. Highly recommended!

Travelling as couples. It's not my first time at Marriott, but my first time at Marriott Al Forsan. The hotel itself is as great as any Marriott around the world. The customer service were very professional and efficient with their work. Friendly environment, clean hotel and very clean rooms. Good quality of guests. The food was great, and you can smoke shisha downstairs (ask reception). The shisha is ok, it's more in a pub environment but it was ok.The rooms are spacious, clean and got everything you need. It was a good experience, we had a good time staying there, and will definitely return.

I previously had a gym membership at Marriott Hotel Al Forsan for two months earlier this year, and I was genuinely happy with the experience, which is why I decided to come back. We visited the pool today, and at first impression, it was excellent — the pool area is beautiful, very well maintained, and the water is crystal clear. Unfortunately, the experience quickly went downhill. We arrived around 9 AM, and it felt like the staff were not prepared for the day. There were not enough towels available, and many of them were old, worn out, and even ripped — not what you expect from a 5-star hotel. The biggest issue was food availability. We wanted to have breakfast by the pool but were told that food can only be ordered from the pool bar, which doesn’t open until 11 AM. It doesn’t make sense for the pool to open at 7 AM with no food options available for several hours. Because of this, we ended up leaving. Before leaving, we used the gym changing rooms, and this was the most disappointing part. The showers were not clean at all — one even had a strong unpleasant smell, as if it hadn’t been properly cleaned. The changing rooms clearly need maintenance and better upkeep. My husband also mentioned that a shower in the men’s area was blocked, causing water to back up. Overall, the beautiful and clean pool area was completely overshadowed by poor service readiness and unacceptable cleanliness standards in the changing rooms. For a 5-star hotel, cleanliness and basic guest experience should be a top priority.

I travel quite often and let me tell you, this property has THE best breakfast for a chain hotel in the country by a mile. I love how creative the chefs get here cause where else do you find Acai Bowls and Chia Seed puddings at the breakfast buffet? And dont get me started on the asian corner which has a completely new menu everyday. I also love that the executive lounge has great options during the happy hour. The location is also a huge W, quiet neighbourhood but a 10 min drive to the city. I always make sure to stay here whenever I'm visiting AUH.

I am honestly disappointed by my recent experience at the pool. I have visited Marriott Al Forsan many times before, especially for dinner, and I have always appreciated the hospitality and professionalism of the staff. However, this was the first time I left feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. Around 15–20 minutes after entering the pool, I was approached and asked to make the payment immediately while I was still swimming. Because of this, I did not feel comfortable continuing my time at the pool and decided to leave without finishing my swim. I understand the need for payment and I had every intention of paying. However, I do not understand why this matter could not wait until I had finished swimming. What surprised me even more is that this is a five-star Marriott property. In the restaurant, the staff have always been welcoming and respectful. On several occasions, I even offered to pay in advance, but they kindly told me to enjoy my meal first and settle the bill later. That level of hospitality is one of the reasons I keep returning. Unfortunately, the experience at the pool was completely different and did not reflect the service I have come to expect from Marriott. As a regular guest, I was genuinely disappointed by the way this situation was handled.
