After spending four nights at the Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas in Abu Dhabi, I can confidently say that it was a memorable experience. The hotel is located on Saadiyat Beach, just a short distance from the center of Abu Dhabi, and offers stunning views of the surroundings. The service at the Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas in Abu Dhabi is of the highest quality, with attention to detail and personalization that makes the guest feel important. The staff are always available to respond to any request and the warmth and friendliness of the welcome is noteworthy. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, with all the necessary amenities for a good night's sleep. The bathroom is modern and clean, with a double vanity that provides ample space for two people. In general, the Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas in Abu Dhabi is a wonderful place for those who want to combine the beauty of nature with the comfort of a luxury hotel. The options for entertainment and relaxation are abundant, and the staff's attention to detail is impressive.

We had a brilliant week at Saadiyat rotana. The food was amazing, rooms were beautiful, but one of the things that really made it for us as a family with 3 small children was the fabulous kids club at the Aladdins cave. The facilities here were great, with swimming pool, splash pad, outdoor play area with slides etc and the staff were so friendly and caring. They had a full schedule and a range of activities each day. They children age lunch in the sim sim restaurant and the food was great. Would definitely come back here

We stayed at Saadiyat Rotana for the second time at the end of October 2023 for 10 days in a room with a sea view. It was actually even nicer than our first time in the Hotel. The hotel has again made many improvements and upgrades. All the staff knew that we were there for the second time and did everything to make our stay even more special. This hotel leaves nothing to be desired. We were told that celebrities from all over the world regularly stay at the hotel. No wonder. Several times a day, the room service has everything perfectly spruced up, the breakfast leaves nothing to be desired, you can have drinks and the best food served throughout the day via a QR code, and the dinner in the various restaurants cannot be topped in terms of quality or ambience. Simply a dream. Everything on the beach is well-kept, and the division of the zones into couples, families and the area for guests with suites means that there are no inconsistencies on the beach. The pool with pool bar is wonderful. The only drawback: on weekends, people from outside can book into the breakfast and pool area. On these days it is a bit crowded in the hotel but completely acceptable. We thank manager Henry for making our stay so special again (he is one of the reasons why we will definitely come back) - we especially thank Murod from the reception (whom we remember from his time at Turtles Restaurant at our first stay) for his professionalism. We would like to thank Aman, the best and most hard-working bartender. During this vacation, we ate at Hamilton's particularly often, and we would like to thank Liri and Ayab for their excellent service. We also tried out the spa area this time, what can we say? The spa has already won awards, I have never had a better treatment anywhere. All the staff in every area of the hotel, without exception, read every wish from your eyes. We can only stay at the Saadiyat Rotana in Abu Dhabi, because we would be disappointed at any other hotel.…

This hotel really does deserve its 5* status. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the restaurants are Amazing with such a lot of choice for every taste. The staff are so friendly and go out their way to be helpful. The beach is gorgeous, we spotted a pod of dolphins one morning. Special mention to Manipal at the beach restaurant, such a nice man to runs a great Bar/Restaurant. Our only complaint was the lack of entertainment in the evening. It would be nice to have a singer at the beach bar. Congratulations to you all on this Amazing hotel.

Dear lauraemma, Thank you for sharing your feedback with all other TripAdvisor readers. I particularly loved your title 😊. It is truly rewarding when all our caring and attention to details are being noticed and appreciated. Rest assured that I will not miss thanking Manipal who made your stay a memorable one. We do have a DJ preforming in Nasma Beachfront Bar and Hamiltons on different timings. Last week (every Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's) additional musical performances are happening at Nasma in partnership with DCT Abu Dhabi. Thank you for staying with us and for being our Ambassador. Best regards, Lilian Roger General Manager

Spotlessly clean hotel, comfortable rooms, spacious resort, great quality food in all restaurants. Ideal for families and couples as they have separate spaces on the beach. The staff, EVERY member of staff, are incredibly friendly and helpful. I wish I could name everyone here, calling out Yaovi and Nisma, superstars working at the beach.

The Hotel definately deserves its 5 star rating. The rooms are very spacious and the (half board) included restaurants are very nice. There is an very large buffet (Sim Sim) American sports bar, an Italian restaurant(Si) and another (don't recall the name) Restaurant which is located toward the beach from the hotel. This one is definitely the best from all and on half Board you are getting high class meat and seafood included . The only drawback is that alcoholic drinks are not included and you need to be prepared for paying a LOT for the drinks. Untouched this definitely a recommendation and I would stay there again anytime!!!
