Jumeirah Saadiyat Island

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Star rating

The hotel

This sparkling Jumeirah resort sits on arguably the best stretch of sand on Saadiyat Island, a unique eco-destination which balances luxury with sustainability. It’s easy to see why they’re keen to preserve this beautiful patch of the UAE, with its nesting turtles, visiting dolphins, and twisting mangroves creating a refreshingly unspoilt holiday setting for thoughtful travellers. But, being in tune with initiatives like using reusable water bottles, doesn’t equal missing out on today’s luxuries – and Jumeirah Saadiyat Island comes with an over-the-top menu of pools (we count four), spa treatments (which are taken in a space with a sumptuous Moroccan hammam twist), and plentiful bars and restaurants (with seven venues created to let you wine and dine your nights away together).

The service was outstanding, and the staff were the highlight of this hotel. Every employee greeted guests proactively and with great enthusiasm at all times. Their problem-solving speed and capability were impressive, responding promptly when needed. Special thanks to Yogi from the White Restaurant for his attentive service and top-notch food. He even gifted my daughter a beautiful farewell gift and some snacks. The facilities were complete and highly modern, with a minimalist yet elegant decor that was very well maintained. The pool loungers were especially comfortable and clean. The only drawback was that the bathroom door seal needs improvement; a lot of water leaked out during showers. Additionally, the spa lockers were difficult to use—both my husband and I couldn’t open ours and needed assistance from security, which also affected a few other guests. Read less

Everything was perfect. Clean and nice suit with beautiful sea view. I booked for Tahi massage at the SPA and it was very good and relaxing. The team were friendly and welcoming. Small things which i felt is different than other hotels and made our experience even better is offering sea salt in the bath tub, speaker connected with the TV at the bathroom, all the personal care is special, sufficient glass water bottles, slippers and bag for the beach, complimentary chocolate, biscuits and well presented in nice gift box and the fruit basket. At the beach they served free ice cream, mist water with aloe vera oil it was refreshing, cold coconut water. Small treat but it made difference and memorable experience. We hope to visit again in one of Jumeirah hotels! Read less

We visit this hotel almost every year. The staff are excellent and friendly. The weather can be very hot during July Aug. The beach has lovely white sand and makes a change from the pool.
