Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

5 stars

Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi is a waterfront resort with a private beach and a big, buzzy line-up of places to eat and drink. Set by the Marina and close to Marina Mall, it mixes Arabic and Turkish design touches with modern, glossy comfort across rooms and suites. Days are made for switching gears: three pools plus a kids’ pool, an Exclusive Sports Club with group classes, and a year-round entertainment calendar that keeps evenings moving. When you want to slow it all the way down, Naturelife Spa brings Turkish-inspired treatments, plus hammam-style rituals for full reset mode. Families get a proper look-in too, thanks to the Rixy Kids Club for ages 4 to 12.

“Wonderful stay”

Feb 21, 2026LeeReynolds

Wonderful stay. Hashi and the Italian really are stunning restaurants and a welcome break from the buffet although must say that the buffet is exceptional and the best we have ever had.

“Our 6th Stay - We are a part of your family”

Feb 21, 2026SelcukT

This was our stay number six — and by now, arriving at the Rixos feels less like checking into a hotel and more like coming home. From the very first moment, everything worked seamlessly. The pre-check-in, the warm welcome, the room preparation, and even the check-out — every step was smooth, thoughtful, and perfectly organized. As Diamond members, we truly felt the difference: every detail, every gesture, every interaction made us feel valued and appreciated. What makes this place so special for us are not the buildings, the pools, or even the food — it’s the people behind it all. We see familiar faces every time we return, and they treat us as if we were part of their extended family. Claude, who always takes care of our luggage with genuine kindness. Mr. Mahmud, the head of La Flame, who surprised us with special menus crafted just for us. Mr. Anup, who made it possible for us to enjoy the other à la carte restaurants — something we appreciated deeply. The Döner Chef and the Barbecue Chef, who not only prepared delicious food but even shared it with us. These are the moments that stay with you. And of course, a heartfelt thank you to the sports and animation team. Their energy, professionalism, and warmth are unmatched. They create an atmosphere that lifts your mood every single day. If we started listing names, the review would become too long — and we would still forget someone. That’s how many wonderful people work here. In short: we feel incredibly comfortable at this hotel. It’s not the architecture or the amenities that make us return again and again. It’s the people who bring this place to life and make every stay special. We’re already looking forward to the next time.

“The Hashi Restaurant.”

Feb 20, 2026Will C

The meal was brilliant at the Hashi restaurant, as well as the service which was excellent. Firstly, to start we had sushi, which was great, then for our main meal we had the sticky chicken which was also very nice, however it could have benefited from having a side of rice with it. Finally for desert we had the chocolate fondant, which topped off our wonderful meal. Not to mention how good the service was, the waiters constantly checked up on our meal and they made a real effort to remember our names throughout our lovely meal.
