Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island 5 stars

Please note we stayed here in June 2022 - I am very late with my review! We stayed here 5 nights in a swim out room for our wedding anniversary. The room, hotel and its grounds are immaculate. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so welcoming. This was our first time in Abu Dhabi as we usually holiday in Dubai. Special mention to the staff below who made our stay that much more enjoyable: Rohit main desk for arranging everything for us nothing too much to ask! Amanda at the main desk for being so helpful and genuine. Hafiz for his daily welcoming smile & dates with coffee. Santos & Paul for always smiling and hailing our taxis. Anjana & Sachin for cleaning our room. Joan, Shamita & Dinesh in the main restaurant. Tutu in the spa for a fantastic massage. My only criticism would be that staff did not enforce mask wearing strongly enough. (June 2022) Especially in the lobby and restaurant, it should be as simple as if you don’t want to wear a mask then leave. We witnessed a guest tell one of the waiters that they ‘don’t care’ about the mask policy - rather than challenge the guest, the staff member just let them carry on serving themselves food whilst coughing every where. This was the only criticism other than that we would have no hesitation in staying here again! Update: we have rebooked for June 2023!

Fantastic time at an amazing hotel, would 100% recommend.. Great service, clean, friendly staff.. special mention to amr at the sports club, what an amazing guy! Can't wait to return! What a beautiful country!

Really nice hotel enjoyed my stay, special shout out to amr from exclusive sports team and he was really active and made my stay feel very special. Would highly recommend going to this hotel and hope when I return I get to see Amr & the sports team again

Thanks Rixos for the excellent service and the amazing staff you have, We enjoyed every minute of the holiday and we hope that when we come back nothing changes, the beach is amazing and bars gives great service and very tasty drinks, enjoyed food specially dinner, Alacart restaurants are so good recommended Italian and fish restaurant, and special mention to the best exclusive sports instructor ( amr) which was always active and full of power and always asking if we need something and invite us for the exclusive team sports I took a photo of his name tag just to post it here)) thanks and best of luck

We been to many hotels already in Abu Dhabi and this is literally one of the best, I can say only one bad thing that there's one pool which include alot of kids, But it's wide area as well so wasn't a problem for us, maybe they just need to limit family area and couples areas that's all, but other wise everything else was perfect, drinks are high quality, food is amazing and I recommend those sweets specially the lotus pie and big variety of fruits, for being healthy they have vitamin bar near the gym which make good smoothie, and at the end what made our holiday more special was Exclusive Sports Team, special mention to Amr that amazing guy who is full with power and intelligent informations, he didn't let us get bored at any time always up for chat even if we are tired or not interested to join his sports, surely will visit again to meet you all
