The hotel

This Mediterranean, yet contemporary style resort, is nestled between Saadiyat Island’s white sandy beach and the famous Saadiyat Beach Golf Course. The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is elegant and prestigious offering a fantastic array of quality services and facilities. Splash about in one of five delightful swimming pools, one of which is adults-only, whilst children have their own pool with a cave and waterfalls to explore. Pamper yourself at the world-class Iridium Spa where you can tailor make your own experience. There is also tennis and squash for those that are more active. Downtown Abu Dhabi is a short taxi ride away with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy. However, The St. Regis boasts an array of restaurants and bars of its own including the Mediterranean-influenced Olea.

This is one amazing resort with a great beach and nice pools including one adult pool. Food was exceptional, rooms are spacious and service extraordinary. There's also a kids pool. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation with family or friends.

I was harassed by three unknown men on the hotel grounds at night. One ran up to me, shouted in my face, and followed me aggressively. I was terrified. When I reported this to the staff, they were rude, unhelpful, and refused to let me file a formal complaint. I was told to “go to the police” and received no support or protection. This is… Read more
I was harassed by three unknown men on the hotel grounds at night. One ran up to me, shouted in my face, and followed me aggressively. I was terrified. When I reported this to the staff, they were rude, unhelpful, and refused to let me file a formal complaint. I was told to “go to the police” and received no support or protection. This is unacceptable for a 5-star hotel. I expected safety and professionalism — instead, I felt abandoned and unsafe. Read less

Third time staying at this hotel. I write this review to specifically praise John and his colleagues in the Manhattan bar. If you have some extra time, sit at the bar and allow John to talk you through the amazing cocktail menu they have created. I have never seen passion, and the level of research, hard work, and detail to go into a drinks menu like this before. The amount of hours John and his colleagues have put into it is astonishing. They’d rival any high end cocktail bar in London or New York. If you have some time to spare and want to see true passion about a craft, sit at the bar and chat to John! Read less

Stayed in this hotel with my family. Liked hotel very much. Breakfast is very nice and full of choices. Beach is amazing and you cant find this kind of beach in all UAE. In total Abu Dhabi is nice for family trip as it is more calm and better for family trip.
