The Hotel was outstanding! We can to celebrate my wife’s birthday and our wedding anniversary and could not have wished for more. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed every minute. We arrived early on the Friday and immediately were warmly welcomed by the concierge. Check in was very efficient and we were given a welcome drink. Whilst check in wasn’t until 3pm, very kindly we were able to drop our bags and use the facilities including food and beverage. We had tickets to visit the Louvre which we did for a couple of hours, then came back for Lunch before checking in to our room. The room was perfect and we were very pleasantly surprised to find balloons and a birthday cake. The room had everything we needed, the bathroom was spacious and had expensive toiletries. We had chosen the premium pool access room which was great to be able to chill out in our own private space. We really enjoyed the Turquoise restaurant, we are both foodies and very happy with the selection. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and attentive clearing our plates and offering us more refreshments. The first evening we went to the new cocktail bar which had live music (forget the name of it)… the mixologist (think his name was John), was brilliant.. he delivered to my requests ‘surprise me’… on the Saturday we were very fortunate to try Mermaid restaurant.. food was exquisite, drinks and live music was great…. I don’t think I have ever written such a long review before, but I can honestly say this was one of the best stays we have had, service, food, accommodation, location, beach; absolutely fantastic and well worth the money… A special thanks to the Guest Services Team and Maria for making our stay magical! We will be back 100% thank you!

It was all perfect!

The location was excellent. Resort not too big with just the right amount of bars and restaurants. Beach is incredible and imo better than any caribbean beach I have visited. Food was amazing - so much choice and very high quality, especially the “a-la-carte” restaurants. The rooms are excellent with great facilities and cleanliness. The service is outstanding and is quite honestly the best I have ever experienced. Tipping was not standard but we certainly tipped on more than a few occasions due to how brilliant the service was. Overall I couldnt fault it and I have officially run out of superlatives for this review. Definitely a must visit.

The only negative was lots of children but we went during half term so had to expect that.

It is a beautiful hotel. The beach was stunning. And the rooms were very big plenty of space for our family.

I was a bit annoyed at the fact they decided to paint some part of our room on the day we arrived. And there was an extremely strong smell of paint in our room for the 1st day and night. There was no alternative option given to us and we had 2 kids with us. We had to leave our room as soon as we checked in as it was so strong we couldnt stay in the room.

Super welcoming and nice personnel, super smooth check in and thanks to Marc I got an amazing room with the most beautiful sea view and my very own terrace with sunbeds. An amazing beach with white powdery sand and azure water, super nice courtyard bar with live music in the evening and great drinks. Looking forward to come back!

I want to thank all staff of hotel from the valet of the car to the manager. Excellent service. All to care for you, as for the important person. Everything is personalized and directed to excellent rest. The best coast in the Emirates. Beautiful snow-white beach with best sea. Beautiful territory. Tasty food in buffet and also at restaurants (which 5 pieces on a territoiiya, any kitchen). Fine rest for children. Separate thanks of RIXI child club for children: really very interesting leisure for children: from the ballet to master classes on cooking. Delighted children. In hotel there is a small aquapark for children. It is worth updating the equipment of hills in aquapark a little: not all to turn also traces of use. But up to 9 years very much it to be pleasant to children. Cheerfully. Seldom it is possible to find aquapark in hotels of Abu Dhabi in the territory, but here it is. We recommend this hotel for rest with children. We love it. It ‘s the best Rixos in UAE.🇦🇪

Our recent stay at the Rixos Hotel Abu Dhabi was nothing short of exceptional, and a significant part of this experience was thanks to Mr. Mahmoud. From the moment we arrived, Mahmoud, an Egyptian gentleman with a warm and welcoming demeanor, made sure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond for guests truly set the tone for our entire visit. Whether we had a question, needed assistance, or just a friendly chat, Mahmoud was always there with a smile, making us feel at home and completely at ease. We never had to worry about anything during our stay because Mahmoud handled everything with such professionalism and grace. His dedication and genuine care for guests are truly remarkable, and he played a pivotal role in making our vacation unforgettable. Thanks to Mahmoud, we are already planning our next visit to the Rixos Hotel. He is a true asset to the team and a shining example of excellent customer service. If you are considering a stay at the Rixos Hotel Abu Dhabi, rest assured that you will be in great hands with Mr. Mahmoud looking after you. --- Thank you, Mr. Mahmoud, for making our stay so special. We look forward to returning soon!

Nothing all great

The hotel is beautiful by all standards, luxurious. Everyone is eager to serve and assist you in a friendly manner. The rooms are clean, and everything is excellent. The managers are nice and cooperative with the guests. I made a mistake in the booking, and they handled it in a wonderful way. Great place for kids Staying for two days, of course, is not enough. I highly recommend everyone to visit this beautiful resort.

Nothing

There are many things I loved about Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, but I’d like to highlight a few key points. Firstly, the location is stunning. Being right by the sea allowed us to wake up to breathtaking views every morning. The child-friendly amenities were a huge plus for our family, and Olivia had a fantastic time here. The hospitality and professionalism of the staff were significant factors that made our holiday unforgettable. Rahit Rana at the reception, in particular, went above and beyond to assist us, adding extra value to our stay. The food was nothing short of a feast. Every meal prepared by the culinary team exceeded our expectations in terms of taste and variety. Additionally, the overall cleanliness and organization of the resort were impressive. Lastly, the hotel’s management’s focus on guest satisfaction and their meticulous attention to detail made our time here even more special. For all these reasons, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island offers an outstanding holiday experience.

The best hotel I've ever stayed. All inclusive. Fantastic food quality and good drinks. Many facilities for kids: aqua park, kids club, pool with waves. Spacious modern rooms. Great Spa area with saunas. Live music in the evening. We were offered free upgrade to the room with the pool - it very helped to cool in July when it is +42 outside. Recommend to everyone especially in the summer when the prices are much lower and you receive the same quality.

Our stay at Rixos has predominantly exceeded our expectations. The staff were great, especially Melikov who ensured we have an amazing first impression by granting us a free upgrade to a suite and lunch when we just missed it. The facilities were superb and suits all ages and the entertainment options are multiple. The food was really good especially at Mermaid & L’Olivo restaurants.

These remarks might seem not significant , however we felt like a hotel as premium as Rixos shouldn’t have overlooked them as the expectations increase with the experience. The weather was fairly cold however the water in the pool and kids water park wasn’t temperature controlled. given that kids are more prone to cold, the water at the water park should be warm at all times. We were fairly surprised that the TV inside the rooms are very old and not even smart with very dated cable channels. Other competitors provide end of the line smart TV with pre-installed and logged in entertainments platforms. We asked for an HDMI cable since the room has an HDMI outlet, the hotel doesnt provide that.
