A Third Unforgettable Stay – Ocean Bliss in Room 110, and Counting Down to Our Fourth
We’ve returned from our third visit to Jumeirah Saadiyat Island Resort, and it continues to set the standard for what a luxury getaway should be. This time from May 16th to May 23rd we stayed in Room 110 – an Ocean Terrace Room – and from the moment we arrived to the day we left, everything was executed to perfection. It’s a rare thing when a place not only meets but consistently exceeds your expectations – and this resort does exactly that, time and time again.
The Room – Ocean Terrace Heaven
Room 110 is ideally situated with direct access to a terrace overlooking the serene, turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. The views are uninterrupted and utterly mesmerising. The room itself was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and maintained daily to the highest standards. From the comfortable bed to the well-thought-out amenities, everything is geared towards comfort, relaxation, and effortless luxury. Stepping out onto the terrace each morning with a coffee in hand and the sound of the sea in the background was a moment of pure calm – the kind of peace you crave when taking time out from daily life.
Service That Sets the Bar
The service at Jumeirah Saadiyat is consistently world-class, delivered with genuine warmth and attention to detail that never feels forced. From the moment we arrived, Puja at reception welcomed us with a smile and handled our check-in with such grace and ease – she instantly made us feel at home. On our final day, we had a late flight from Dubai, and the team very kindly arranged a late check-out for us, allowing us to enjoy our last day without stress. It’s these thoughtful gestures that make all the difference and keep us coming back.
Special thanks as well to Boniface at the entrance, who greeted us every single day with energy, kindness, and a smile that never faded. Always ready to help, offer directions, or simply lift your mood, he’s a true gem and deserves a spotlight of his own. It’s small moments like that – a warm hello or a genuine “how’s your day been?” – that make the atmosphere at this resort so special.
Dining – White Restaurant & Beyond
The White restaurant remains one of the main highlights of every stay. The quality of service and food is exceptional, and it’s here that the resort’s character really shines through. The buffet selections at both breakfast and dinner were genuinely epic – diverse, delicious, and always fresh. There’s something for every taste and dietary need, and the quality is unwavering from day to day. Whether it was fresh fruit, international classics, Arabic favourites, or indulgent desserts – it was all immaculately prepared.
We want to give a huge and heartfelt thank you to the chefs and the unseen kitchen staff. Too often, these talented individuals don’t get the recognition they deserve, yet they are the unsung heroes of the experience. Behind the scenes, they work tirelessly to deliver world-class food, and their dedication shows in every single dish. Every meal was a delight – and we could tell it came from a place of pride and professionalism.
On the front of house side, Jonathan continues to deliver exemplary service with poise, warmth, and professionalism. His attention to detail, his memory for guests, and his calm, welcoming energy make him one of the standout members of the team – and a big reason why we always return to White.
We’d also like to mention Marie, Shan, Ghurab, and Yogi, who each added to the experience in their own way. Whether it was a warm smile, a friendly conversation, or simply ensuring we always had what we needed without asking – their service was consistently brilliant. The atmosphere they create together is relaxed, personable, and polished – the kind of hospitality that’s hard to find and even harder to replicate.
Spa Experience – Hammam Bliss
During our stay, we booked a Moroccan Hammam treatment with Hannan, and it was genuinely one of the best spa experiences we’ve had. Hannan is incredibly skilled and created a space where we could completely unwind. The treatment was authentic, restorative, and left us feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed. The spa itself is another level – clean, calming, and effortlessly luxurious. Whether it’s the treatment rooms, the relaxation lounges, or the steam and sauna areas – everything is thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained.
Membership & Looking Ahead
We’re currently Silver Jumeirah One members, and with the way things are going, we’re well on our way to Gold – because our fourth stay is already booked for this August, and this time for two full weeks. That’s how much this resort means to us. It has become a home away from home – a place where the noise of life falls away, and you’re able to fully reset, recharge, and reconnect.
Jumeirah Saadiyat isn’t just a resort – it’s an experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re treated like more than just a guest. You’re welcomed like family, looked after with care, and made to feel as though your enjoyment genuinely matters. That rare balance of polished professionalism and heartfelt hospitality is what sets it apart from anywhere else we’ve stayed.
If you’re looking for peace, luxury, exceptional service, and unforgettable moments – this is the place. We can’t wait to return.
