Very disappointing, I don’t recommend this hotel

Oct 15, 2025 Sigyyn Paris, France

Very disappointed ! Much better other hotels in Abu Dhabi ! Hotel gives vibes of stinginess…. The rooms need to be renovated. The beds are not comfortable. In other hotels we always have little gifts for our baby, along with shower gel and shampoo for baby. Here, nothing. No welcome gift either for adults. No chocolates on the bed in the evening. The water temperature of the pools was cold. When you arrive to the sunbeds, there is no one to greet you and take you to your place with towels. No sun cream, no water offered. The restaurants were quite disappointing and the wine selection was sub-par. For the first evening you cannot go to an à la carte restaurant, they impose you to go to the buffet. The only positive thing was the phillipinos waiters who are very nice. The room was not ready at check-in 15:00. Also we had our flight late in the evening we asked for a late checkout which was not granted and the receptionist suggested booking another night (!). Massage is approx 200€ for 50 minutes which is a total rip off, in other hotels it is around 120€ for 60 minutes. I always book a massage for myself, I did not here ! I don’t recommend this hôtel !

Out of this world

From the moment we arrived, this hotel exceeded every expectation. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and professional—nothing was too much trouble. The food was divine, with every meal showcasing fresh ingredients and thoughtful presentation. Hospitality here is second to none; we felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. The entire property was spotless, with immaculate rooms and pristine common areas. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right, but this hotel truly delivers. A perfect stay from start to finish—highly recommended! Binoy Francis is a true gentleman, could not do enough for me or my family. Well be back very soon. x Read less

I have to mention MOman the coffee man and didum in the lounge bar. Also the young Turkish manager in Turquoise Buffett This was a week for me and mummy to spend together relaxing and it was perfect. All our wishes were exceeded . We thoroughly enjoyed it . Thank you so much for a wonderful week.

Nice!!

Not the Rixos We Used to Know – Hope It Improves Again

Oct 12, 2025 Petra V

We have been visiting Rixos Saadiyat Island with our family for three years in a row – and this year, twice, this time just the two of us. Our last stay was in May, and I must honestly say that since then, the level of service has noticeably declined. We arrived last night – the room was ready, but surprisingly, it had an extra bed. I assumed it was a mistake and asked for it to be removed – which was done promptly. What surprised us more was the lack of any welcome gesture, which we had always received in the past – some fruit, pralines, a welcome note, or at least information about how the all-inclusive program works. This time, all we found was a remote control left on the table. In the morning, under daylight, we noticed that the room wasn’t properly cleaned – dust on the furniture, coffee stains near the coffee machine, dirty mirrors. While such things can happen, this had never been the case during our previous visits. After breakfast, we politely asked at reception for a proper cleaning. When we returned around 4:30 p.m. from the beach (where, by the way, they no longer offer fruit, allegedly because of the heat – although during our previous stays it was available even when it was 40 °C), the room still hadn’t been cleaned. I called again, and they said someone would come right away, but it took another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, we went to the bar, where we were used to a wide selection of desserts – this time there were literally only 4–5 pieces of cake. When we returned, the room had finally been cleaned, but the coffee stains were still there, the mirrors were polished, yet the dust was only superficially wiped. And when I finally went to take a bath in the evening, only lukewarm water was running. It’s truly disappointing, because Rixos has always been our favorite hotel. We’ve recommended it to family and friends – many of whom started coming here based on our recommendation. However, this time I must say that the quality of service no longer matches the hotel’s price or reputation. We had planned to return again in the spring – this time with our family, to try one of the villas that we’ve always admired. After this experience, though, we’re honestly reconsidering whether it’s worth it. If this is due to rising costs, I understand, but I truly believe that guests who return year after year would gladly pay a bit more to maintain the same high standard of service. At this point, I sadly can’t recommend Rixos with full confidence anymore – and that’s something I used to do without hesitation. Read less
