Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island

Great stay!

Just returned from an 8 day stay. Lovely hotel, spacious and exceptionally clean with an amazing beach to rival the Caribbean.. Plenty of sunbeds available on both the beach and by pool. Adults only area for sunbeds but one thing missing is an adults only pool. There is a separate children’s splash pool and wave pool. Beach bar was great for a late afternoon drink Staff were extremely helpful and courteous with the exception of the reception staff who were curt and dismissive at times. One thing to note is that we arrived early morning on the overnight flight and had to wait until the advertised 3pm for our room, this has never happened to us before over many many trips to Dubai & Abu Dhabi, other hotels have always been able to offer a room ahead of official check in. As most guests leave early on their final day I feel there could perhaps be a bit of compromise on this We got reservations in all the 4 a La carte restaurants, our favourite by far was the Italian. The buffet was among the best we have used Overall a lovely holiday with fantastic weather and we would return

Our recent stay at Rixos was, without a doubt, the best staycation we’ve had in the UAE. The entire experience was made exceptional by the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, who consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Dining Experience: • Turquoise Buffet: We thoroughly enjoyed our meals at the Turquoise buffet. The food selection was impressive, and the quality was outstanding, particularly the grilled meat, which was simply the best. The desserts were also a highlight, with the macarons and eclairs being our favorites. However, it’s worth noting that these popular desserts tend to run out quickly, and unfortunately, they are not refilled, which was a bit disappointing. • Aja Restaurant - Teppanyaki Night: Our second dinner at the hotel was at Aja Restaurant for Teppanyaki night. The California maki and scallops were delicious, but the rest of the menu items didn’t stand out, making the additional cost somewhat questionable. That said, the staff’s willingness to accommodate our son with chicken teriyaki, even though it wasn’t on the set menu, was greatly appreciated. Kid-Friendly Amenities: The hotel’s Kid’s Club is exceptional. It’s well-organized, and the staff are engaging, friendly, and playful with the children. Our son had an amazing time, especially at the waterpark, which he absolutely loved. Staff and Service: The positive vibe throughout the hotel is undoubtedly due to the fantastic staff. From the receptionists and F&B staff to the housekeeping, lifeguards, and security, everyone was genuinely nice and helpful. Special thanks to: • Rohit and Benj (Reception) - For being attentive and ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. • Ali (Highlights Bar) - For his friendly service and attentiveness. • Ezequiel - For his assistance with our luggage and the thoughtful gesture of calling valet ahead of time. • Vergel (Housekeeping) - For the delightful towel animals, which our son adored. Final Thoughts: Rixos offers a top-notch experience that is worth every penny and more. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return. A big thank you to everyone at Rixos for making our stay truly special!

We have had a lovey time at this hotel and holiday, The staff make the holiday and Experience amazing, the pool bar staff, rollerblade servers make it a whole new experience they are so welcoming and will do anything for you, cocktails are good to!

Staff are the best, especially Ferdinand from the lobby bar. He made sure we were always welcomed and couldn’t do enough for us. Also the staff around the pool where exceptional with there service and made us feel very welcome. And never without a drink.
