Our stay at Rixos Premium Saadiyat was absolutely spectacular! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A special thanks to Dona, who truly made our stay unforgettable with her exceptional care and attention. The all-inclusive package offered an array of delicious food that exceeded our expectations. The beach was pristine, with amazing music vibes that added to the relaxation. We also want to give a huge shoutout to the entire beach team and bar staff, especially Manager Ese, for their outstanding service. The entertainment throughout our stay was top-notch, and every member of the team, from the valet to the front desk and even security, was incredibly friendly and professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience during our three-day getaway. Thank you, Rixos Saadiyat, for making our stay one to remember! Read less
