We had a lovely experience in every restaurant with really delicious food, we were taken good care of and nothing was too much. Ahron Lester was our waiter in Orient on two occasions and he went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal with my wife last night. The restaurant team are very polite but a special mention to Dennis, who had nothing but a smile on his face at all times. We will be back!!

We had a lovely holiday at Rixos Saadiyat Hotel in Abu Dhabi. We went for 10 days and had a lovely time. All the staff couldn’t do enough for you to make the holiday worthwhile. From Reception staff to restaurant staff and poolside staff everyone was very helpful. Naturally being around 35C we spent a lot of time around the pool!! The “skater boys” as I called them, Ashraf and his buddies looked after us every day, nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely go back there in the future.

We came to Rixos for our honeymoon. We booked the teppanyaki and ended up with a private dinner. It was perfect! We can not thank Kate and Chef Miguel enough, they were such beautiful hosts and made it extra special! Can not wait to return!
