The St Regis Saadiyat Island Resort Reviews

Noisy, tricky offers, wifi not working, construction works at site, no value for money, dont waist your money there

Great hotel resort if you are planing to abudhabi for a leisure you must visit st.regis saadiat you will feel amazing. Its great example in its own.

Grandiose hotel with friendly professional staff, beautiful beach and swimming pools also suitable for children without being troubled here

Great location, superb staff, really good rooms and quality food

We have holidayed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi many times and decided to try a hotel we hadn't visited before - the St Regis on Saadiyat island. What a find

Right from the start it had a great feel, in a quiet, relaxing setting. Our room was well laid out and very comfortable. The hotel had a great beach and was only a short taxi ride to get to Abu Dhabi centre one way and Yas Island the other (we enjoyed Warner Brothers theme park). The Louvre on Saadiyat island was fantastic - a beautiful building, well laid out exhibitions and well worth the entrance fee.

There were only 3 restaurants in the hotel and one of those was being refurbished so we only had the choice of 2 - the main restaurant, Olea, was buffet style and Sontaya was a Thai based restaurant. We thought this might be limiting but it was not. The quality and variety in Olea was exceptional (with 3 themed nights per week - seafood, Arabic and Asian). All dishes were checked regularly and if they were not up to their very high standards then they were replaced. We dined 3 times at Sontaya during our 2 week stay, which speaks for itself - excellent food and very accommodating staff (even though we were on half board and had a restricted menu to choose from, they were happy to tweak dishes to cater for our taste and for our allergies).

I left the best to last - the staff. So many helpful and outstanding members of staff. It is so hard to single people out because we could easily mention just about all the staff with whom we came into contact (including Duty Manager Pia on the front desk) but there are some we have to mention. Our original butler Anthony and our replacement butler Alina - they felt like friends as much as employees of the hotel. In Olea all the staff were helpful without being smothering. A big mention to supervisor Waseem (for looking after our restricted dietary considerations), all the waiters but especially Alvin, Moustafa, Manish and Raheem and to all the chefs (picking out Rami - for making fresh Saj for us in the morning, I loved the cheese ones and my wife loved the herb ones - and Haresh).

We have some minor suggestions that would improve our stay but it feels wrong to mention them here as the hotel helped so much to give us one of the best holiday's we have had - we will be going back!

Stunning hotel with superb facilities. Restaurants and food excellent. Great staff. Highly recommended.

Visited the Spinneys branch here for groceries. It's a small one but covers pretty much all of my needs.

Real 5 Stars, friendly team, blue water, nice environment... Big 10x to the fabulous Maya for prompt actions and guest happiness care...

Good hotel, excellent service, delicious food, beautiful spacious beach, but! In the evening, children have absolutely nothing to do and nowhere to walk. The children's club closes at 19 hours, there is no playground on the territory.

It's wow place
Best for honeymoon and great for family

Everything was very good except the food it was totally below expectations

We chose the St Regis on Saadiyat Island for the first week of our Honeymoon and from the very moment that we were greeted by the front of house team upon our arrival we were made to feel incredibly special.
The hotel itself is magnificent, grand, opulent, stylish, large and yet it is incredibly tranquil, Every facility or service you could require is available. The hotel is immaculate, well maintained and kept incredibly clean inside and out.

Our room was large and luxurious with good views, we both thought that we had possibly the most relaxing week of our lives during our stay here.
The restaurants are beautiful, the food is excellent and the service is of the highest quality, eating here is a pleasure and a perfect way to start the evening.

Throughout our stay, every single member of staff we spoke to and liaised with were exceptionally professional, polite, competent and their main concern was ensuring that the guests were happy and that every request was fulfilled to the highest of standards.

Our personal concierge was Amit, an intelligent and charming man, who ensured that our stay was special, we didn t request any of the services available so every day he made sure that he spoke with us and throughout our stay he did lots of thoughtful, kind and sometimes funny things to ensure our stay was made even more special.

The front of house and security team is superb, professional, efficient yet friendly and accommodating, one of the lobby doormen is also named Amit, a very professional and calm guy that always makes the time to ensure that the guests are ok whilst still directing everything around him, he provided one of the most friendly and warm welcomes we have ever received to a hotel and throughout our stay he spoke with us every time we passed to see if everything was ok with our stay.

Throughout our stay, from the moment we were welcomed into the Hotel we felt safe, as we walked outside around the hotel complex we also felt safe, Abu Dhabi has relatively low crime rates anyway but the abundance of visible yet friendly and unimposing security staff around the hotel complex is reassuring, I have no doubts that if required they would be extremely competent.

We have stayed in many good hotels around the world but the management and staff at this St Regis have taken customer service and guest satisfaction to another level, the management and staff here have really focused on the guests experience, its not about ticking boxes, it s a far more personal level of service that s provided.

There are many good hotels all carrying 5 stars, This is not a good Hotel, its a great hotel, separated from the rest by superb customer service and amazing guest experience.

Very big hotel with lively staff. The kids pool area is great, the lay out is well thought out. Amazing beach as well.

Clean rooms and very polite and even well-trained staff, the only flaw of the structure is that it is conceived in a confused way and unclear and the places are not easily accessible

A nice and fun place for families .. needs to ease the safety measures a bit

A resort that does not have a place to live in. Cleanness, entertainment and excellent location. Thank you

Great place for a short stay, but the food quality is simply not there

Private dining is above standards! Feel free to make a request from the chef for something that is not available on the menu. The food here is delicious. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff are above par and sooooo friendly!

St regis is the one of most beautiful hotel in Abu Dhabi and UAE it has large ballroom in Abu Dhabi, it has ocean and pool very very beautiful and very very exciting, they have so many restaurant those are unique flavour, the staff are very polite to the customers and the take it very serious about the guests, I have no doubt this is a such a beautiful hotel in Abu Dhabi you will not fine any other hotel like St regis saadiyat in Abu Dhabi.

100% recommend it. I love everything about this place!

Offering direct access to its private beach on Saadiyat Island, this 5-star resort offers free WiFi and rooms with a private balcony. It features a spa centre and an indoor pool. Free parking is also available.

An 18-hole golf course is next to The St. Regis. Abu Dhabi's Corniche is within a 10-minute drive. It is a 10-minute drive to Yas Marina and Ferrari Theme Park. The airport is just a 20-minute drive away.

Foid excellent, ambience excellent, service very good

Checkin/checkout was very smooth experience, food was ok, rooms are comfy, showers water pressure is weak everywhere. Room service and pool services are good. However the major turn off is having "bookings" for pool cabanas with "minimum spenditure" rules for weekends and weekdays - No priority for hotel residents, although not thoroughly implemented the rule exists and they will deny you a space if you don't book in advance. All in all overpriced for what you get.

Great short visit with the family. The service was just fantastic from valet parking to refreshments in the bar. Regards, Gurdial Singh

Celebrated my birthday and anniversary here and I've no regrets great place to soak up the ambiance and beach.

Great resort the service is excellent and we are having a great relaxing holidays, good rooms and very good food also.

Luxury resort hotel in Abu Dhabi.
Ideal for a stay, both relaxing and cultural given the proximity to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and a few minutes from the center of the capital.
It has magnificent facilities and services, private beach, very spacious rooms with magnificent views.
Exclusive service at any time.
In short, the stay is for living, not for counting.

Great stay, great beach, great breakfast, great everything!

Great family hotel. No water sports allowed due to Saadiyat being a natural reservation

Best hotels in abu dhabi very good for families with kids very elegant and clean

Nice restaurants such as sontaya, turquoiz, and the beach is beautiful!

Went for few hours third day of Eid very organised Excellent food Smiley
and helpful staff especially Thilina and Naw

Top. Environment of other times, times when elegance and luxury went together, where the pomp was refined and not ostentatious. Superb service, comfort and tranquility. Low prices if you evaluate the choice of options available.

Lots of employees, but service is still poor. Most don't seem to be trained in their job. It is a beautiful hotel, though.

We hope to spend the best times and happy memories with love and beautiful scenery and will not forget the place

Fabulous and extraordinary if you want to be away with peace of mind.

Awesome rooms, direct access to beach, great for a getaway

Very welcoming staff still everything is beautiful there

Had an awful experience with Pushpa Jalari Jalari. Kindly asking to have a serious conversation about behavior model, that should be applied to the customers.

5 Star Service from amazing staff
Well worth a visit

One of the nicest places I've been to. Great service. Excellent restaurants.

Our favourite resort in the world! Absolutly everything about it is perfection. Would give it more than 5 stars if i could. The service from reception, room service staff, the waiters, from everyone is impeccable. Standard rooms are not standard at all, they are our favourite rooms, with the coolest bathroom. The turn-down service is thoughtful. They have butler services, and they got us literally everything we required; One example is we were going somewhere that men needed to wear pants and closed shoes. We hadn't packed any so they provided us with some. There are 2 pool areas, the adults one is super fun. And the beach is perfect to relax on because there is no other resorts, buildings or anything in eye-sight, the beach just goes on and on, and it's only for St. Regis. I could go on and on about how amazing this resort is, but just trust me - you have to stay here.

True resort experience.. Have been visiting for over two years to use their facilities and their service has been spot on every single time.. A special thanks to the staff at the athletic club!

I have been visiting this hotel regularly for the past 9 years and the experience is consistently superb. From the minute you step into the resort you are surrounded by the kindest and most professional staff, nothing is ever too much for them. Service is really what makes this hotel stand out from all other hotels in the UAE. I will choose this hotel over and over again when I need a perfect couple retreat.

Excellent resort with remarkable ambience. Sea shore echo is heared in the pleasant evenings. Must be visited

Worst service! No one answers calls in the restaurant or reservations.

Did a corporate event where we are given a room for our belongings, to stay and eat.

But what the supervisor did, came and ask everyone while eating to get out and leave the room because the vips are coming.

There's always a kind way to say it and everyone would have felt okay but no. She kicked us out and doesn't care where do we go and continue our food. She just said "i dont know, eat somewhere!" VERRRRRRYYYY RUDE!

What a disgusting attitude, zero manners at all.

Very disappointed.
