My recent 9 night stay at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with unparalleled hospitality, exceptional service, and unforgettable culinary experiences that left me thoroughly impressed. I was upgraded kindly to the sea view room and it was lovely. The butler and housekeeping team are exceptional. One of the highlights of my stay was the outstanding breakfast experience which finishes at 1pm. Which meant my fam could have a proper lie in! The morning ambiance was set perfectly, with beautiful views and a welcoming atmosphere. The full team including Chef Lalit Singh and Waseem were always ready to cater to my families needs with a genuine smile. The beach is natural at the St Regis which is a big plus! Their are also 4 pools to choose from and the pool staff including Kamal and Akhil were very attentive. Unfortunately the outdoor wet area at the kids club was under refurbishment but I can foresee younger kids loving this area once completed. Overall if your looking for a prestigious property, calm ambiance and attentive staff. This is the place.

Best staycation for a relaxed weekend.
Exceeds expectations in every aspect. Right from the start, check in went amazing thanks a million Sana! The room is unbelievably specious beautiful and luxurious. The breakfast more like a full brunch. We had an amazing dinner at "Sontaya" amazing quality and service thank you Ayla and team. Overall the service at this hotel is at another level even when sitting at the pool you get ice bucket wih water and ice cream! And last, the hotel has an amazing beach not to miss.

We had a great time staying at the property for a one-week vacation with a toddler. The beach is nice and not too crowded (but a bit hot in mid May). We spent a lot of time at the main pool and the kids club. The staff were all courteous, friendly and a pleasure to work with. The kids club is well appointed with different sections that cater to different age groups (our toddler spent a lot of time next to the brio train play area). During the weekend locals like to visit the property with a day-pass and it was nice to see the kiddie pool at the kids club filled with fun and laughter. Some local kids (and hotel guests) were very rude to the staff and disregarded the safety warnings. The kids club manager handled it with grace but it may be a good idea to keep a watchful eye on the weekend pool area for the safety of your own kid(s) since there could be kids that walk all over their parents and other adults (and somehow get to checked into the kids club by themselves). Special thanks to lifeguard Sajith who kept the little ones safe with a great sense of humor, pool staff Kamal, Nirmal and Islom who consistently went above and beyond to make our time by the main pool enjoyable. Thank you and we hope to be back again soon!

The St Regis is a high end luxurious experience in resort hospitality. It is fantastic for families - sun, sand, sea, pools and kids clubs. The food will tantalise everyone's tastebuds, have no doubt! The staff are exceptionally helpful, friendly and appear sincere in wanting to make your stay a perfect one. No request is too much and they cannot do enough for you. If you want to have first hand experience of what an exemplar in hospitality is, come here. We would like to thank the staff we can remember, but there were too many to mention: Murtaza (our butler), Sarita, Anit, Elena, Matthew, Zia and sorry for those whose names we cannot recall. Thank you so much for catering for all our needs. We will be coming again!

This hotel is set on Saadiyat island which is outside of central Dubai. It is near to The Louvre and a few other sites.It is close to the beach and is in an area you could take a walk. There is a grocery store very close by. The food at the hotel was very expensive, comparable to what you would pay at a 5 star New York City Hotel. You do not have to pay those kind of prices in Dubai. Also, as an older person, I spent time in my room. Staff was constantly knocking on the door….to clear a tray, to check the mini bar, to see if I needed something, and more. I found this so disruptive to my stay. Also, I could not Check-in until 45 minutes past the check in time. I would not stay there again.

Almost perfect.
It is a very nice resort and we would love to give it a ten, however there are some service failures which should be remedied 1. Key cards fail 50 percent of the time. It is no fun to be lockedout after a swim, shivering in the icy hallways and then having to appear half naked on the reception to get a replacement key. Happened at least 5 tines during each stay. There is NO EXCUSE for this. (we were given various: the cards were too close to a phone - nope, the cards were timed out - at 10 am?, etc etc) 2. The welcome fruit basket is for decoration purposes only, most fruit is either unripe, or dried out (mandarins) or brown inside (plums). The good fruit is readily available in Abu Dhabi, again, there is no excuse for that sort of "welcome" 3. fridges in both rooms weren't working. In fact, they kept our water WARMER. the rest was excellent: the pools the butler service the valet service The buffet is out of this world. .

The hotel overall is nice but it’s a very big hotel and pool and beach are quite far from rooms. Family friendly, full of kids everywhere. Breakfast is great, but other than that, it feels like a 4 stars hotel compared with other 5 stars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Fantastic Resort
Fantastic resort. Upgraded to a sea view - beautiful room with great balcony. All the staff were wonderful and friendly. Great pools and beach. Fresh fruit every day and the occasional treat from the butler - chocolate, figs, berries. Extended our stay from 3 to 9 nights. Restaurants are great but expensive by North American standards. There’s a small Spinney’s grocery on-site with everything you’d need. Also a liquor store but it’s difficult to find - ask.

The beach was stunning. The staff were amazing. And the food delicious (brunch at Buddha Bar! Lobster curry at Sontaya! Tea in the Drawing Room!) This is a place where we would definitely return. Some small suggestions: our Nespresso machine had issues and was not replaced as promised, we expected some beach toys or beach bag (as we often find at beach oriented properties of this caliber), and there wasn’t really a charging dock for technology (my iPhone got really hot using the one clock with ports). Also an environmental note: there were single use individual plastic bottles everywhere. Even just moving to refillable glass bottles in the room would be a notable step in the right direction. Nonetheless, the staff and the location truly made this holiday special for our family and we highly recommend it.

Give this hotel a miss
Possibly the worst customer service ever. From waiters not bringing the correct order, and then having breakfast cleared from our table while still eating. We went out at 9am one day, returning at 5pm, and our room had not been serviced. We needed a doctor one evening, but the hotel refused any help. We finally had enough when woken on the Friday morning by the television coming on automatically at full power at 04.50 am. Definitely give this hotel a miss
