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.

Almost a flawless experience. We loved the hotel, the rooms, the service and the pool and the gym. Had some great meals with the Thai restaurant being the best. Only downside was the expensive and disappointing Buddha Beach Bar and the occasional renovation works but don’t let this put you off this gem of a hotel.

The hotel is in an excellent location, and has a diverse selection of restaurants. The standout feature is the exceptional service; the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making for a truly enjoyable stay. Ocean, Uwais and Maya were the greatest!

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.
