This Mediterranean, yet contemporary style resort, is nestled between Saadiyat Island’s white sandy beach and the famous Saadiyat Beach Golf Course. The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort is elegant and prestigious offering a fantastic array of quality services and facilities. Splash about in one of five delightful swimming pools, one of which is adults-only, whilst children have their own pool with a cave and waterfalls to explore.

This a lovely hotel with amazing staff. We had a suite this visit which added to the enjoyment with a lovely sea view to star the day. This year we were overwhelmed by the butlers Sumar and Tika. They are amazing, kind and thoughtful young ladies who are in touch with you every day to make your stay special. To start our day we were met by Christle or Gayathra or both with a big smile and taken to our table. They are the loveliest and most professional people. With the help of Shin and Ishi and Abdul and Akhil we were guaranteed to start the day with a massive smile on our faces. All the restaurants are good but our favourite was Sontaya where Panda and his team of Shu Portia and Nisha were so warm and inviting and thoroughly professional. The lovely Marina in customer services was always available to meet us with a big smile as was Mansi who made sure we always had a restaurant to go to. The Greek Restaurant was also excellent with great food and was very well managed by Ekaterina and her staff. Such a warm happy atmosphere created by all the staff. The beach is excellent with plenty of protection from the sun and a great team looking after the customers. Particularly, Kamal who also looks after the Adult pool with Mandhu and Niraj. The Manhattan Bar is a must to visit. Even though we are not big drinkers we visited every night to meet up with John, Manjula, Kalpi and Jude. Head Mixer is John and he just amazing at his job and a thoroughly nice person too. A special word must go to Renita and Ayu who are two of the nicest, kindest young ladies who serve the drinks and the food in Signature 3. They are fabulous. Finally, the Bell Boys provide a fantastic service in such a professional way. There are too many to name but without exception they are superb. Read less
