The hotel

This sparkling Jumeirah resort sits on arguably the best stretch of sand on Saadiyat Island, a unique eco-destination which balances luxury with sustainability. It’s easy to see why they’re keen to preserve this beautiful patch of the UAE, with its nesting turtles, visiting dolphins, and twisting mangroves creating a refreshingly unspoilt holiday setting for thoughtful travellers. But, being in tune with initiatives like using reusable water bottles, doesn’t equal missing out on today’s luxuries – and Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort comes with an over-the-top menu of pools (we count four), spa treatments (which are taken in a space with a sumptuous Moroccan hammam twist), and plentiful bars and restaurants (with seven venues created to let you wine and dine your nights away together).

Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to Savino and his amazing team you are all so special and we cannot thank you enough for your top class services. Both my husband and I spent 5 wonderful nights at the amazing Jumeirah Saadiyat Island end of November for his special birthday. We have been to many hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and we have to say this hotel beats them all. It is OUT OF THIS WORLD in every way. From the time we checked in until check out we were treated beyond anything we could ever have imagined. I would rate this hotel a 10 STAR and more. Our room was a fabulous Ocean View Suite and the decor was exquisite that we could have stayed in the suite all day. The interior of the hotel was equally the same Everything is lush and elegant. The food was outstanding especially the breakfast with many options and different food stations. The waitering staff and chef were amazing and couldnt do enough for you. I would highly recommend the Sal fish restaurant located on the beach beside the hotel and you have to treat yourself to spending a day in the Adult pool area overlooking the magnificent beach with a DJ playing chill out music in the afternoon. We are already planning our next trip and cannot wait to return. Pure luxury!!! Savino a heatfelt thank you and to each and everyone of your staff. What an amazing team. We look forward to seeing you all again very soon. Linda & Paul **Special thank you to Inessa and Natalia from SAL Read less

Back for our 4th visit. First time in early Jan and we loved it ( we normally go July/ Sept) . The temp is 15/20 degrees cooler but WOW you can walk on the amazing sandy beach and swim in the cold turquoise sea….which you can’t do in the Summer! So we spent the 10 days on the beach which we never normally do! Fab! ( And a great tan was had )!… قراءة المزيد
Back for our 4th visit. First time in early Jan and we loved it ( we normally go July/ Sept) . The temp is 15/20 degrees cooler but WOW you can walk on the amazing sandy beach and swim in the cold turquoise sea….which you can’t do in the Summer! So we spent the 10 days on the beach which we never normally do! Fab! ( And a great tan was had )! This hotel is as great as ever. The white buffet has gone up a few notches since July - so well done to the team in there - it was so difficult every night trying to decide what not to have….and only choosing 4 desserts….now it’s probably the best buffet restaurant in the UAE. We were upgraded and our room was fab as normal, ultra clean and beautifully looked after by the housekeeping team. This hotel is famous for its staff and nothing has changed. Without fail every single member of staff is friendly and welcoming. The guys on the beach are amazing sorting out your beds and looking after you for iced water etc. I could go on….and on. Thanks to everyone at the JSI for another memorable holiday. Read less

We had a 2 bedroom family suite which was super comfortable and luxurious with 3 balconies, good sized lounge, and 2 large bedroom areas. The staff here are second to none, they are friendly, professional, and nothing is too much trouble. Special mentions to Sanka in the Offside Pub, Deepak in beachfront F & B, and the staff in both the pool & beachfront ammenities areas - they are fabulous! All food locations are exceptional quality and the buffet breakfast is a must! Read less
