Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island 5 stars

The hotel is super the staff are fabulous. The bar staff are over run and do their very best ( you get some British beingvreally rude to them as I witnessed- absolutely no need they are doing a fab job) the food in the mermaid and aka restaurant is amazing . Would definitely come again but when it is non school holidays . We have children but they are very respectful of people and their surroundings. Well done Rioxs staff you are doing an amazing job

We had this hotel booked twice but due to covid couldn’t get here so finally we made it . I would say the hotel is beautiful and there are many postives highlighted here , but because we are so used to the high standards of Dubai it isn’t yet living up to expectations and whilst I am enjoying the holiday I wouldn’t as yet consider returning. We have stayed at Rixos before so the lack of attention to detail & the restrictions have surprised us. Buffet is not really my thing. So off to Dubai a few nights when leave here. My holiday is dressing up and being served a nice meal in a nice restaurant sat together as a family . Paying this money to be told I can only do that 3 times the rest is a buffet is not 5star for me , a surprise for us as in Dubai there has never been any restrictions & if I had known I would not of come it has I admit spolit my part of the holiday . You can’t pre-book so you can’t plan leaving the hotel on trips until queued to book the resturants very tacky in my opinion especially since we see half empty resturants . They are also so very slow you finish your breakfast before you get a coffee , the bar staff cannot poor thing cope with the demand and the one Al carte for lunch is disappointing in terms of variety . The pool is lovely , the grounds well kept , the rooms stunning and spacious , the beach lovely and the water park a real bonus. They make an effort with entertainment with a singer at night which is a really nice bonus and the area at night is absolutely stunning Yet admittedly I want to look forward to a nice lunch or dinner so now paying extra to book outside meals in other hotels nearby can’t even pay extra here to sit in their Al carte extra sorry this is a 3 star arrangement. We have met some lovely people , the weather is amazing but the food issues not for me

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Abu Dhabi, the all inclusive made it so much easier for us and my little one, always plenty to eat and drink! Thank you Woyneshet - HK Manager and Mae from the Turquoise restaurant you made it So special for my daughter! Your service was amazing and so memorable ❤️ I will definitely book again. Hopefully see you again soon xx

Just back from an 8 night stay at this fantastic hotel and what a wonderful place this is. We booked a sea view room and were allocated a corner room on the front with both pool and sea view rooms. The hotel is located on a gorgeous white sand beach with turquoise waters that at certain times of day you can see the dolphins swimming very close to the beach. This hotel boast a main buffet restaurant, which was lovely with a great selection of food that is varied on a daily basis for lunch and dinner. Our 8 night stay entitled us to use the 3 a la carte restaurants once, the Asian, Italian and Seafood, all of which were beautiful with excellent service. We also did the Teppanyaki experience (extra charge) and that also was excellent. During our stay, I didn't meet a single member of staff that wasn't helpful or friendly, they are all a real credit to the hotel. My special 5 star call out's go to Amro and Dima for their Yoga and pool aerobics classes. I particularly enjoyed the yoga classes and both were very helpful towards me and my wife as we are beginners, with Dima covering Amro's absence for one session. They both would make time to talk and advise on areas to focus on after each session. My other 5 start ratings go to Rosamie and the slim lady in the blue uniform who name I didn't get. Their service in the people and Mermaid restaurants was first class. Additionally, another 5 star rating goes to Micheal - Doctor Mixologist and his fantastic cocktails, the mix fruit mojito was top drawer. My only negative, and this isn't a fault of the hotel, is that there were a lot of kids in the main pool, some of whom like to scream very regularly. There is a children's pool area with slides in the hotel, but it doesn't have a bar, so some parents prefer to let them do as they please in the main pool whilst they get drunk at the swim up bar. I'd imagine this isn't the case outside of school holidays, but as it was my birthday week, we travelled when we did. This didn't ruin our holiday in any way, and I would return to this hotel (and plan to) in the near future. Thank you for helping to make my 60th birthday such a memorable occasion.

An amazing staycation. Beautiful resort and has amazing staff! We had a big suite and 2 rooms connected for our kids. The service was impeccable, amazing, and comfortable beds, the all-inclusive was super generous. AJA Asian & Teppanyaki was a great experience. I do have to give Benj a shout-out for making our staycation a memorable one.
