The hotel

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. Pamper yourself at the world-class Iridium Spa where you can tailor make your own experience. There is also tennis and squash for those that are more active. Downtown Abu Dhabi is a short taxi ride away with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy. However, The St. Regis boasts an array of restaurants and bars of its own including the Mediterranean-influenced Olea.

Great hospitality and service the stuff is really attentive and sweet, the rooms are quite spacious with humongous washrooms and balcony view from either side is satisfactory to the eye in itself. Had alot of fun during our stay and they also offered us a farewell cake during the checkout

Still the go to hotel in Saadiyat. Service outstanding. Wasn’t able to secure an upgrade this time as hotel was full but still a nice room. Highlights - amazing NYE party at Buddah Bar, Sontaya the best restaurant but Mezi. It far behind. Beautiful beach and a local Spinneys and Laundry takes some of the costs out which is good.

Absolutely blown away by this hotel and its staff! Quite speechless tbh which is a first for me! We went away for Christmas 15 of my family off all ages raging from 3-77 years! Everyone was happy every day! The only one negative is the food is so exceptional I need to diet big time now I’m home but that’s what January is for anyway right?! Most mornings at breakfast we were looked after by Rahman & Muba - thank you for serving whatever we wanted with a huge smile! And the hotel restaurants we ate in were All phenomenal - big thank you to Shwe & Tungana at the Sontaya restaurant….serving 15 of us is no mean feat and you were brilliant The boys on the beach don’t stop and were super lovely - Shoutout to Anish who was lovely despite his poor taste in football teams ;-) The kids club ladies also looked after the little ones - what was great about the kids club is it had a decent size splash pool mostly undercover with a slide - climbing frame at the bottom end and a small basketball area too Inside although there were a 3 different rooms for various ages our kids 3-9 could all be together - arts & crafts, face painting , bracelet making , tie dyeing All in all we couldn’t ask for much more! The beach on Saadiyat Island is stunning and we would come back tomorrow and stay at the St Regis if reality wasn’t calling! Read less
