WOW what an amazing experience … we have done a lot of travelling as a couple and as a family of 3 and this hotel is up there at the top for sure! From the moment we arrived until we left we experienced pure luxury along with so many activities and lots of FUN! We travelled with our two year old and the staff were fantastic with him - they couldn’t do enough for us very attentive The kids programme is just fantastic - they have thought about everything for all ages! They have entertainment on through until 10pm for them… with a mini disco each evening and a show, we particularly loved the Madagascar and Frozen show! Also the Rixy Festival is insane!!! Once a week, bouncy castles, face painting, BBQ, chocolate fountain and more! For adults well…. You have 100000 activities everyday! It’s insane! We did pool boxing, cycling, weights, pole dancing (who knew you could do that in a pool!) we cycled the island, did ice baths, sound healing EVERYTHING! THE STAFF! WOW we made friends for life with these guys EXCLUSIVE SPORTS CLUB YOU ARE AMAZING! Special mention to AMRO who was super friendly, fun and a great instructor! Also to Guray the director of sports for making us feel welcome! We trained everyday in the gym too which is great - super cool and fresh water, towels along with a juice bar! The beach is beautiful! Golden white sands and turquoise waters! The hotel is stunning! Everything is spotless! Restaurants are amazing - we stayed for 10nights and dined in all of them - our favourite being Italian and Turkish We took a day out to sea world too which was amazing - great experience for kids! We can’t wait to re-book! Amy, Jess & Rocket xx Read less

We had the best week’s stay in Abu Dhabi at Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island - would totally recommend for families! We booked our A La Carte restaurants at the start of our holiday for the week and didnt have any trouble getting booked in. We also booked the Tepinyaki show which was great, my daughter loved watching it even though she didn’t like the food! Staff were so friendly!! I didn’t find the excursions guy overly helpful and found he was hardly ever at his desk. Had an issue with the F1 Circuit Tour that it was cancelled and he didn’t let us so know + we only found out when we got to the track. Fortunately the team there were SO HELPFUL and helped us get back to the hotel and couldn’t have been more apologetic. Beach and pool were great, no problem getting a bed at the beach but could be tricky to get one by the pool in the afternoon. Would also recommend Warner Bros and Emirates Zoo, we did the breakfast with giraffe experience which was amazing. Read less
