The breakfast buffet is comprehensive. There's even an herbs section and a large fruit section. However it's priced at $240 which is more than others in the area, and the offerings in the buffet don't include high price items (like seafood for example) that would justify the price.

So nice! The staff was impressive and all was perfect. So glad we had the chance to try this restaurant. Dennis from Philippines was very nice and the food very good. First time we ever tried the oysters. Will make sure to return to this hotel and to the restaurant. 10/10 Thank you so much!

We booked this hotel as it’s mine and my husbands 50th Birthday’s this year and our 20th Wedding Anniversary so wanted to stay somewhere special and it didn’t disappoint. We stayed for 11 nights and everything was amazing. Room was fantastic and the cleaner did an amazing job every day. The towel art was brilliant. The food is the best that we have had at an all inclusive hotel. We tried 3 of the 4 a la carte’s and we really enjoyed them all. The drinks were fantastic, just so much choice. For beers there were Peroni, Budweiser, Stella, Efes, Corona, Heineken plus afew more. Each bar did different cocktails too. We loved the DJ on the beach whilst the sun set. The sea was like getting into a warm bath. The hotel did get really busy afew days after we arrived with children but it didn’t bother us. We always sat on the grass area and always managed to get into the pool easily and served quickly at the swim up bar. We also never struggled to get a table in the buffet restaurant, we mainly sat in the adults only section and there was never really many people in there. Every single staff member were so helpful and everyone that you walked past greeted us. We really could not fault this hotel and look forward to visting again in the future. Read less

Have recently returned from a 14 night stay at Rixos. This was our 4th visit and the first 10 nights were excellent. Pros Bedroom lovely Staff wonderful Beach fantastic Food and drink excellent Special thanks to Romell,Maria and Remy at 'People's ' Didem at the lobby bar and an extra Special thanks to the wonderful Gabriel at the beach bar.He never stopped working, smiling and Tireless. An absolute star. Cons After 10 days,the UK holidays started and the hotel was full of unruly unsupervised children. Meals in the a la carte restaurants were very noisy and it was impossible to relax and enjoy. Staff were putting families in the Adult only section in the buffet.... Nearly impossible to get a seat in the lobby bar and children using scooters up and down the lobby....their parents had no respect for other guests. We had hoped to return later this year, but because of the number and bad behaviour of some of the children we will have to think long and hard about it Mr John and Virginia N.IRELAND Read less

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Stay – Rixos, Saadiyat Island , Abu Dhabi Never Disappoints! This was our 4th visit to Rixos Abu Dhabi and it just keeps getting better. My wife Philomena and I stayed in room 2417, joined by her four sisters and her lovely mother. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were being welcomed back home. Our bedroom was immaculate, with fresh bedding, crisp sheets, and a daily cleaning and turndown service that was flawless. A huge thank you to the housekeeping team—they kept the room spotless and made us feel genuinely looked after. Breakfast and lunch were always a delight, with a wide variety of delicious food and top-quality wines and beers on offer. The waiters and waitresses were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always smiling. Nothing was ever a problem, no matter how small the request. Poolside service was equally impressive. The waiters by the pool were outstanding, bringing drinks and snacks with a smile and making sure everyone was relaxed and well looked after. A special mention to the staff who looked after my mother-in-law, ensuring she had a comfortable chair by the pool each day—that kindness did not go unnoticed. One moment that really stood out: I wasn’t feeling well one evening, and without me saying a word, the staff brought me a hot Irish whiskey—it was such a thoughtful, unexpected gesture that truly touched me. And finally, The Olive, the Italian restaurant, was my absolute favourite. The food was 10/10, and the staff there went above and beyond to ensure a perfect dining experience every time. A special thank you to Dasun, Tayyab, Romel, and Rochelle—your kindness, professionalism, and warmth made this stay one of the best we’ve ever had. To anyone considering Rixos Abu Dhabi: you won’t find better service, atmosphere, or hospitality anywhere else. We’ll be back—again and again! Read less
