Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas

Great stay!! Breakfast is great; very diverse and delicious. My 5yo and 7yo enjoyed a lot the kids club. The girls made their time at the kids club so nice, that they didn’t want to leave when i was picking them up!! The service is great, nice and discreet. The location of the hotel is ideal: wonderful beach and close to the cultural district with all the museums! I recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay in October 2025 at Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas and would gladly return. The service throughout the hotel is outstanding. The restaurant staff were exceptionally attentive, incredibly friendly, and particularly helpful with families, something we truly appreciated. The pool team was equally warm and pleasant, always creating a welcoming atmosphere. The entire resort is beautifully maintained, and our room was spotless; we genuinely had nothing to criticise in terms of cleanliness or upkeep. The reception staff were available at all times and assisted us promptly whenever needed. There were, however, two points that stood out negatively. First, we noticed the hotel manager eating at the buffet while standing near the drinks area. Of course, everyone needs to take a break and eat, but it would appear more professional for a manager to do so at a table rather than directly at the buffet. Second, some families from a particular country behaved quite rudely and selfishly, especially during activities such as water polo, where the atmosphere became unnecessarily aggressive. While we understand this is not fully within the hotel’s control, it did affect the overall experience. Aside from these issues, our stay was excellent, and the hotel’s wonderful staff and pristine facilities made it a very memorable holiday for our family.

My stay at Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas in Abu Dhabi was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, with a huge variety and everything always fresh. The beach is beautiful, clean, and peaceful – perfect for relaxing. The fitness center is modern and very well equipped, and working out there was a pleasure. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and professional throughout the entire stay, always smiling and ready to help with anything. A very special and huge compliment goes to the animation team, especially the animators Liza and Anna. Their energy, positivity, and approach to guests were absolutely amazing. They created a great atmosphere, lots of fun, and made everyone feel truly welcome. They were always smiling, friendly, and their programs were entertaining and highly professional. Thanks to them, the stay was even better and truly unforgettable.

Just back from Abu Dhabi and my last destination was Hotel Rotana on Saadiyat Island. I can only recommend this fantastic location - especially because of the beach. It is like in Maldives. I stayed 3 nights with HB. Breakfast is so amazing - staff will bring you all you want and it is even not needed to go to buffet: Benedict eggs with Salmon or spinach, carrot juice, nice decoration with green salad and cherry tomatoes. app. 80% of Russian speaking polite guests. We had also animation with Lisa and did Aqua gym in the pool & yoga on the beach. Thanks to her for nice trainings and fun. Sauna in gym area is also so comfort and with essential oils; plus detox drink after the session!!! Very supportive staff on reception (2 girls from Philippines and Mexico served for us special Arabic coffee) and in restaurant Sim-Sim. In case of price - it was high (x2) in comparison with other hotels I visited before (Conrad Towers & ERTH). By the way - the beach is the main point why you have to pay extra. There is also daily shuttle bus (free) till Culture District (Louvre Museum, etc). I will be definitely back. Thank you to hotel and staff for our relaxing time.

Our stay at this hotel resort was absolutely wonderful and left us with a very positive impression. The resort is quite spacious, which gives guests plenty of personal space, whether in the restaurants or by the pool, where it never felt crowded. All the restaurants offering different types of cuisine were excellent, and the food was consistently of a very high standard. The beach is beautiful, clean, and perfect for relaxation. A major benefit was the lounge option included with the accommodation, which enhanced the overall experience even further. The staff during lounge service were highly professional, welcoming, and able to create a genuinely personal approach to each guest. Special thanks go to Saw, who took care of us throughout all of our lunch visits with exceptional care, kindness, and a constant smile. Thanks to him, we truly felt welcomed and valued. We can wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a combination of beautiful surroundings, great food, and professional yet friendly staff. We would be very happy to return in the future.

We spent 8 days at the Saadiyat Rotana just before Christmas. From the moment of arrival to the point of departure the quality of the service and attention to detail was faultless. All the staff we met were polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Special mention goes to Nurlan, Kripa, Christina, Mae-Ann and Mary Ann who made sure that we had a fantastic stay. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, each day well serviced by the domestic team. We ate in Sim Sim, Hamilton's and Si where the staff, as everywhere else in the hotel, looked after us as though we were the only diners! Food was of a high standard, especially in Si where we had two excellent meals. If you are looking for some sun and fun this is a hotel to visit and experience great hospitality and all the other interesting tourist attractions that are available in Abu Dhabi. Seaworld and Waterworld at Yas Island and Team Lab are amazing, the later challenging the mind with its unusual format so check that out on their website.

We recently stayed at this hotel last minute as our travel plans to another country had changed. We stayed in the resort view one bedroom suite. We had an excellent experience. The rooms were beautiful and the service was excellent. We had a half board package. The buffet restaurant (Sim Sim) had extremely high quality food. The Si Italian restaurant was also incredible and we were able to choose a 3-course meal from a very wide range of options included in our package. We also went to the Hamilton’s Gastro Pub but didn’t like this restaurant very much and the quality of food didn’t quite match the rest of the resort. Overall, I will definitely return to this hotel and would certainly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at the resort — everything was smooth, relaxing, and truly enjoyable. The room was spacious, beautifully maintained, and offered a perfect sea view. The facilities and the beach were excellent, making our stay both comfortable and memorable. A special thank you to Rémi at the reception for his professionalism and efficiency during check-in. His warm welcome set the tone for our entire stay. An even bigger thank you to Sita from the Sim-Sim restaurant. Her exceptional hospitality, constant smile, and genuine kindness made every breakfast and every dinner a pleasure. She always made sure we had a lovely table on the terrace and that everything was perfect for us. Her service was a true highlight of our trip. We will definitely return. Highly recommended. 🙏✨
