By far the best experience. I would truly say that this is not just the best of what can be, but also turned into my favorite Resorts for times to come . From the very checkin experience with Tobo to Chef Mukesh & team.. thanks ravi, sachin...for the services. The DJ at the Buddha Bar...so warm and welcoming ...took the extra efforts of arranging some killer bollywood techno for the evening . At the pool side, the lifeguards slamming and team ..not just guards but also coaches for my Son . And thanks a lot to the Buttler services by Alex and Belinda. You guys really make the difference. " being favorite is far better than being the best , cause there are no arguments once something is your favorite...ain't it ! " Read less

Me and my wife are used to travel to Dubai and we usually stay in Jumeirah. We've chosen to go to Abu Dhabi by recommendation and we loved this hotel. In general it is the same or even better experience as Dubai. St. Regis Abu Dhabi is much better in terms of service rather than most of beach hotels we visited, including Jumeirah in Dubai. The staff is very friendly, accurate, attentive and very well trained. Big thank you to management. The best service was provided by the beach service team, thank you. Hotel has great location. It is very quite, there is not loud music, which was annoying at other hotels 500 meters away, when we walked there. Rooms are nice, require some refreshing soon, but nice. Restaurants are very good. Greek restaurant is the best Greek food I tasted for last years, though I stay in Greece for 2 months every summer for last 15 years! A great respect to Chef. 2 minor things, which I am sure management could fix: There is good sound isolation between the rooms, but not between the room and the corridor. The problems is lack of sound proof sealing on the door. It can easily be installed (glued), I had such experience and it enchases sound isolation a lot. Second is water supply for the room, sometimes the pressure is changing, which leads to temperature "jumps" in the shower, which is not very pleasant. It might also be fixed quite easy. Also the water has some kind of smell, but this is probably from municipal system and can't be fixed. Read less

I have been a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum member for over 10 years and have lived in many hotels in the chain. But St Regis Sadiyaat is phenomenal. Brandon met us at the reception and we were amazed by his professionalism and how much he loves his job. Nothing compares to him, not Bulgary, not Four Seasons or Ritz. He quickly and efficiently solves any problems and issues. A hotel of this level is really about relationships between people, this service, these are subtle nuances starting with the voice and look... which is not taught, but for some people like Brandon it is inherent in nature.

Amazing stay, staff cannot do enough for you. The food in Olea outstanding as was the service from Wasseem and Marko. Akil in Buddha Bar fabulous too along with the food available. The rooms are great and the beach is just gorgeous, wonderful sunsets.
