Review of The St Regis Saadiyat Island R...

Great location, beautiful hotel BUT... The athlet...

Great location, beautiful hotel BUT... The athletics club is a complete letdown and totally overpriced for what it is, with the most expensive pool access in Abu Dhabi. Looking for a 25m-pool - The Westin offers unbeatable rates for access to their training pool. No need to overpay just for a brand name. Let's hope the new Rotana, Rixos or Saadiyat Beach Resort will offer better options once they open their doors on Saadiyat Island. This will mean the St Regi's won't have the monopoly any longer and residence of Saadiyat looking for training pools will have more options that doesn't limit them to emptying their wallets. Boo!
