An amazing meal at The Orient Restaurant, Rixos Saadiyat. Our waiter Ahron Lester was so helpful and the way he expertly cut open the salted sea bass was all part of ‘the show’. A fantastic night and great staff at the Rixos. Thank you Ahron.

Lovely family vacation in a lovely location. So, we were there for 10 nights (first week of the September) and this stay appeared for us as just one day only: cosy and well aqupped room, nice and various food, very hospital staff: Olga Kapelko (Guest Relation), Ismatullokh Tukhtaba (Food and Beverage). But, I want to tell for others guests, that Lyubov Marinchenko (Front Office) is one of the best Manager I've faced. She is a professional as itself: polite, attentive, knows everything about Hotel and is able to arrange perfect stay. Thank for all of them! *PS. Для русскоязычных посетителей, по всем вопросам пребывания в Отеле, да и по близлежащим локациям стоит обращаться к ней (Любовь *русые волосы), однозначно - максимально полезная и объективная информация + действительная помощь, а не услужливая улыбка, при отсутствии действия.

This was our second visit to Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island and it was great. The service that we received as a party of 11 was 10/10 and it will be a memorable trip. A special thank-you for the 10/10 service provided by the staff at the Turquoise restaurant. They catered to all our needs especially our food requirements for our two children. A HUGE thank-you to Sunil, Suraj, Indra, Lakam and Naf - I hope to see you guys again and keep doing what you are doing - you guys were awesome. I also want to thank Nabin & Lucky from the pool bar, Jason from Arja, Prateek from Orient, John from Savanna and Shyam from the housekeeping team. You all made our experience very memorable. The only criticism I have is regarding the food labels in the Turquoise restaurant. It was very unclear for vegetarians as to which items contains meat or fish products. For example some dishes that we thought were vegetarian for example a kidney bean and carrot curry sounds 100% vegetarian however when we double checked with the chefs, we were told it had meat stock. My only advice is to write clearly on the labels if a dish is vegetarian or vegan as opposed to having symbols which were not 100% correct. Read less
