At Saadiyat Rotana resort we had the best hotel experience of all our travel to different countries.
Starting from the check-in, which was so smooth and relaxed, to the check out, which made us a bit sad because we had to leave.
The hotel has a calm and relaxing atmosphere, which get you in the holiday mode easily.
But most important are the staff, without exclusions, who make you feel so welcome. Nothing is to much for them, always with a real smile, and so friendly that you easily feel at home.
All services are great, from the fine food restaurants, till the pool services with towels and bottles of water (also for the beach) and the housekeeping who keeps the room (fantastic beds) spotless. Thank you so much for giving us this great experience.
Definitely recommended if you are looking for a fantastic stay in Abu Dhabi. Just outside the city you will find this gem at the beautiful Saadiyat beach, and still a short drive from the city. (Louvre museum and different other cultural places are even closer)

"Wonderful Stay with Exceptional Service but a Serious Safety Incident on Final Day"
We had a very enjoyable weekend stay at Saadiyat Rotana. The service provided by the staff was excellent from start to finish — warm, attentive, and genuine. The quality of the facilities is top-tier, and the resort has a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.
The kids club was a highlight for us, offering a fun and safe space for my daughter to play, and the breakfast selection was impressive each morning. A special thank you to Manideep, who went out of his way to make our daughter feel special by gifting her a teddy on our last day — a thoughtful gesture we really appreciated.
However, I do feel the need to highlight a serious safety incident that occurred on our final morning. When my mother and 16-month-old daughter returned to our room after breakfast and opened the door, a ceiling panel suddenly fell from above, narrowly missing my daughter. It was a very frightening moment, and while hotel staff responded promptly and offered a complimentary lunch as a gesture, the potential consequences of this incident were extremely serious and warrant attention.
While this experience does not take away from the overall quality of our stay, I sincerely hope the hotel addresses this matter thoroughly to ensure the safety of all guests in the future.
Overall, we enjoyed our time at the resort and were especially impressed by the staff, but I felt it was important to share both the positives and the serious concern honestly and hope the hotel management check the ceiling panels in all hotel rooms.

"On point"
We always find ourselves Rotana Saadiyat Hotel when we decide to for a staycation. I would always recommend this hotel to anyone I know.
The stuff I can’t describe them in one word, they are super friendly to us as adults and a different story when it comes to our toddler they went out of their way to make here happy at all times. I would thank everyone that made our stay perfect.

"Rotana Saadiyat"
The staff were very welcoming and maintained a very good service throughout our stay.
In particular we taken back by how attentive and kind the staff were with our young son.
The staff around the pool were proactive at all times, nothing was ever a chore. They engaged in friendly conversation to ensure your needs are taken care of, Samroj in particular.
Rana who looked after our room was always ensuring the times to clean were appropriate, he was very professional in his approach. Rana always wanted to engage in conversation when appropriate and he was a credit to the hotel.
The food was very good across the restaurants, Turtle Bay in particular was our favourite offering a variety of high end dinning dishes.
Laith and his staff at The Sama lounge were excellent. Laith gave us a great insight to the culture and things to do whilst visiting Abu Dhabi. A super spot to relax after dinner with authentic tea or coffee.
We will be back to visit again
Many thanks

"Dream Vacation at Saadiyat Rotana Resort"
My Mom and I spent 5 nights at Saadiyat Rotana Resort and we can’t wait to go back.
It is an ideal 5 - star property built in a modern Arabic style with the large heated pool, gym, sauna, a spa and nestled on the Arabian gulf. Everything here is geared towards a luxury vacation from the fresh scent as you enter the lobby, the cup of Arabic coffee with dates upon arrival, the turquoise water with the bright white sand on the horizon to the smiles and care of the amazing staff.
Beyond all the beauty of the resort, the staff at Saadiyat Rotana Resort is a real treasure. The staff that cares, understands the needs of the guests and goes above and beyond.
Dildar and the concierge team (Brent and Saad) took great care of us. Dildar provided great options of places to visit in Abu Dhabi. We really enjoyed the cultural experience and got to visit all the main sites. Dildar arranged for all transportation services for us and helped us with the heavy bags when we returned from the day of shopping. We felt so special and felt like we were part of the Saadiyat Rotana Resort family.
Rotana Club Lounge Staff is out of this world - Zuura, Nestan, Komlan, Kristina, Ann-Mee.
Zuura was the hostess at the Rotana Club lounge the morning we overslept and missed breakfast. We took a chance showing up at the lounge after 11 am hoping to start the day with a cup of delicious cappuccino. Zuura greeted us with a big smile and made sure we did not leave without a delicious cappuccino and cookies. She inquired about our stay and made sure we had the best experience. Zuura saved the day with her professionalism and positive energy.
Komlan is always welcoming and friendly. He provides excellent service, genuinely inquires about your day and understands the needs of the guests. We really enjoyed his company and service.
Kristina is always greeting guests with the smile, she is checking in on the guests, holding doors for guests who enjoy outdoor seating and makes the best tea.
Ann- Mee is so nice and caring. One night it was getting chilly and Ann Mee offered us blankets so we could continue enjoying the evening under the stars. It was so sweet!
We are beyond grateful for the unforgettable vacation and can’t wait to return to Saadiyat Rotana Resort again with the rest of the family!

"A fantastic family holiday"
I came to Rotana and I’ve found a perfect place to stay. Relaxing for all of us. Amazing cuisine!! Fantastic pool and an amazing sea and beach. Close but far enough from the city so we had enjoyed the time.
Only one suggestion…
In the gym let’s get 2/3 Technogym Ride ( semi pro bike ) so cyclists like me can still run their training sessions while on vacation

Exceptional Good: Gute Lage mit direktem Zugang zu Mall und kleinem Strand am Kanal. Gutes Frühstück Super Apartments und Ausstattung.
Bad: Appartement war leider bei Ankunft und bis zum Abend nicht verfügbar. Leitung war aber sehr bemüht: uns wurde sofort Übergangsperiode ein anderes Zimmer zum Umziehen und Duschen bereitgestellt. Wurden dann zum BBM Abendessen eingeladen und konnten danach unser Apartment beziehen. Verpflegungskosten sehr hoch.

Hervorragendes Stadthotel. Hotel: Stadthotel mit super Zimmer und Restaurants..vor dem Residence wird gebaut also muss mit Baulärm gerechnet werden wenn man das Zimmer wie wir zu Baustelle hatte. Achtet darauf All Inklusive zu buchen ansonsten imense Kosten für die Getränke ( Alkohol ) und Essen in den 6 Restaurants, hatten bei einem Essen eine Rechnung über 300 €..Alle Restaurants können mit All Inklusive genutzt werden. Das Essen war überall hervorragend.
Location: Stadthotel also nur ein kleiner Strand ...aber dafür in der Stadt und direkter Zugang zur Mall...wir hatten uns genau dafür entschieden wenig Kinder was für einen entspannten Urlaub sorgte.
Der Flughafen ist ca. 35 min entfernt. Die Moschee ( Sgeikh Zayed Grande Moschee ) eine halbe Stunde und ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert..wir waren in den Abendstunden zum Sonnenuntergang da... voll der Hammer und hätten dann noch eine Führung.
Service: Entspricht einem 5 Sterne Hotel. Außer der FTI Mann war nicht zu sehen was aber auch nicht schlimm war für uns. Am Anfang hat man auch ein wenig alleine gefühlt aber alle dort sehr nett.
Food: Der Hammer man kann alle Restaurants nutzen einfach vorher reservieren ...
Room: Nichts zu bemängeln.
Sport: Hatten über "getyoureguide" eine Wüstentour gebucht ...super organisiert und der Sonnenuntergang und das Abendessen mitten und der Wüste, der Hammer.

Spacious, clean & lovely! Excellent hotel, spacious & clean rooms, attentive and welcoming staff. Recommended for families, friends & business people.
We had a classic suite, 3 adults staying in it, there was plenty of room (we had to have a roll away bed, but this was big enough!) for all of us.
The hotel standard is fantastic, all public areas were extremely clean, bright and airy.
Pool area was lovely, plenty of room for everyone.
Would stay here again
