We had a great stay which was enhanced by the fantastic, attentive staff. Particular praise must go to Rikesh who was a waiter at Garage restaurant and chef Juan also at Garage. Rikesh made a huge fuss of our kids and was accommodating and professional. Chef Juan made a huge effort to accommodate my wife’s rather complicated dietary requirements and made her feel special rather an inconvenience, of which the latter is sadly often the case. Also the lady (didn’t get her name) at the maitre D position always greeted us by name and knew our room number by heart; most impressive and personal. A couple of minor niggles would be that the room had a couple of ‘tired’ points. Also, we booked a package through Yas Island website with theme park tickets included yet there was a disconnect between the hotel and the parks with ticket validity/small print and there was a sense of ‘ask the other party’ which ultimately left us as the guest going back and forth between the hotel and the parks, having to do some detective work so that we could understand the finer details of the package we had purchased, whereas we would have appreciated a stronger understanding of the product we had bought from the hotel that was effectively supplying it. All in all though, a great hotel with a fantastic location for the theme parks and wider area. Thank you! Read less

This is my third visit in 3 months, and each time my stay has been enjoyable. The staff are friendly and attentive responding to your requests as quickly as possible. Special mention to Antony and the others greeting us like old friends coming home.

We booked via Yas Island and stayed at the W Abu Dhabi for 2 nights and visited 3 parks during our stay. Right off the bat Anthony at the door started making friends with the kids and showing them a cool handshake !! Smooth and seamless check in, being Bonvoy Gold, we got upgraded to Spectacular Rooms and my daughter managed to win me extra 1000 points as well !!! My other friends got upgraded to a suite, which was also amazing. We ended up staying in their suite both nights and ordered from Room Service. My wife got in touch with hotel in advance about her dietary requirements and she was put in touch with Shashank who went above and beyond to assist with our room service orders and even added Indian breakfast items, thanks Chef Juan. Evelyn was serving us at the breakfast and she was simply amazing. Also special mention for Sagar at the Wet Deck Bar and Anthony at the Sun Deck Bar for drinks and service The unusual W design, music and style was always a treat. We really enjoyed our stay....look forward to more. Read less

The hotel is a great property, the staff are very friendly. But it is also disappointing that the hotel doesn’t accept Marriott Bonvoy rewards. I generally live in Marriot Hotels as an Ambassador level member, same as other loyal customers their are discounts which encourage you to entertain at the hotel, invite business associates to stay etc. I was advised that W Hotel Yas Island Abu Dhabi has no control over providing the loyalty benefits as no Marriott properties in the UAE are able to. This is completely untrue as I regularly stay at Marriot Marquis. Le Meridien, Aloft and a couple other Marriot properties in the UAE and ALL of them do honour the program without exception. This is still a great place but other members should be aware that your benefits are worth nothing here… Read less

Jul 4, 2021 Sunshine28116837428 Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Bad customer service the employee diana has very bad hospitality. The hotel is not in sync with their call center as they gave me wrong prices. I would not recommend going there if you want have a good time because the customers over there would definitely annihilate your mood.
