This wasn’t our first stay at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island; we had a lovely experience previously, which is why we chose it again for our anniversary weekend staycation. And once again, it was truly memorable from start to finish. A big thank you to Bhaven and Nette from the W Insider team and Kon from the front office, who took such wonderful care of us. Despite the busy weekend, Kon handled our check-in with a smile and generously arranged an upgrade to the WOW Suite. While the suite wasn’t quite ready yet, he suggested we enjoy lunch first—and we’re so glad we did. We had a fantastic meal at Pappas Greek restaurant; the food was absolutely delicious. The WOW Suite itself was breathtaking—spacious with a massive living room, a huge balcony overlooking the marina, and a bathroom that felt like pure luxury, complete with a double vanity and two-person bathtub. We were also surprised with a welcome cake beautifully decorated with “Happy Anniversary”, such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel extra celebrated. In the evening, we enjoyed light bites and drinks at the executive lounge, which was a nice touch. Another highlight was thanks to Praveen from housekeeping. While we were downstairs, he did the turndown service and prepared the bed with rose petals and beautifully folded decorative towels. It was such a lovely surprise and made our anniversary feel even more special. Overall, we are so grateful to the entire W team for going above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made this staycation truly exceptional. We can’t wait to come back! Read less
