Mae C TripAdvisor review

We have been to this hotel 6 times for Christmas and one occasion for Christmas and new year including supporting this hotel during Covid and have found it a wonderful experience however in December 2025 it has all changed, with a certain member of staff asking 13 members of my family to move because we have a baby with us who sleeps all of the time! His attitude was uncompromising and it has led to my 13 members of my family not being able to sit together around the pool as there are insufficient beds - the hotel now allows people to save sun-beds all day and not use them - maybe it’s a change in policy as a consequence my regular Christmas jaunt has sadly come to an end and next year we will be staying somewhere else for Christmas.

Amazing holiday, amazing staff

Great holiday at the Rixos premium Saadiyat Abu Dhabi, food excellent and the staff are all very friendly and professional. Special thanks to Leo, Wendal and Nidam for looking after us in the evening. Special mention to Rodney, The Master Mixoligist, his cocktails were amazing every night and thank you for the recipe for In Your Arms, Anish also for some master mixing. Thank you all, have a great Christmas from Mark and June from Scotland

Not the best choice for adult only traveler's

familyoffournw TripAdvisor review

This was our third stay at a Rixos resort (previously stayed in Belek and Dubai) and once again the service, cleanliness and overall experience was excellent! However this resort would be 3rd on our top 3 Rixos resorts… the à la carte restaurants were not as impressive, the Orient was the stand out, the Asian underwhelming which was a shame as Asian restaurants at Rixos resorts have typically been the most memorable. Entertainment was a bit tame for us.. having experienced the entertainment at Rixos Belek. Our biggest gripe would be as two adults travelling without children we couldn’t enjoy any child free areas… the hotel has a few adult only areas but none of them are policed by staff or fully respected by holiday makers. Similarly people leaving towels on lounges most of the day unattended around the pool and beach created a shortage of lounges which staff seemed unwilling to manage (although blame is squarely on customers, it took us no time to simply return our towels after we were finished) The above is not helped by just having one main pool! The birds around the pool area are a problem, we saw them going into people’s beach bags and flying off with stuff. So with those with families this would be a good hotel but for adults traveling without children this may be a little frustrating.

Dear familyoffournw, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review and for choosing Rixos once again for your holiday. We are truly pleased to hear that, as with your previous stays in Belek and Dubai, you enjoyed the service, cleanliness, and overall experience at Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island. We also sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback. Your comments regarding the à la carte restaurants, particularly your expectations of the Asian cuisine, as well as the entertainment offerings, have been shared with our culinary and entertainment teams for further evaluation and enhancement. We regret to learn that the adult-only concept did not fully meet your expectations. While we do provide designated adult-only areas, we understand your concerns regarding enforcement and guest compliance. Your observations regarding sunbed availability, unattended towels, and the need for more active management around pool and beach areas are also duly noted. We continuously work on improving guest flow and comfort, and your remarks will help us refine our approach. Additionally, we acknowledge your comments about the birds around the pool area and are reviewing further preventive measures with our operational teams. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is designed to welcome both families and couples, and we understand that preferences differ depending on travel style. While many adults enjoy the lively and social atmosphere, we recognize that those seeking a more exclusively adult-focused environment may have different expectations. Thank you once again for your honest feedback and loyalty to the Rixos brand. We truly value your insights and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to provide an even more refined experience. Warm regards, Burcak Orak General Manager

Dear T2202RLtammys, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback following your first holiday with Rixos. We are absolutely delighted to know that from the moment you arrived in the early hours of the morning, you felt welcomed and truly valued — this is exactly the experience we strive to create for every guest.

Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us, and we are especially pleased to pass your compliments on to Ahron Lester, who will be thrilled to know he made such a positive impression. Thank you for recognizing the dedication and attentiveness of all our waiting staff. Creating a feeling of comfort, care, and a touch of luxury is at the heart of the Rixos experience, and we are honored that you left feeling like royalty.
