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.

I would definitely recommend the St. Regis beach and I hope that Oshen is our beach attendant when we come back! Read less

It was an amazing experience out on the beach. Oshen took care of me and my family and his team did a spectacular job. This is definitely a place to go to and stay at if you are in Abu Dhabi. The food was excellent. The water was was light blue and very clean.

I recently spent 10 nights at this hotel with my family of 4. It is a lovely hotel with so many great staff members. There are too many to mention. However, Madhu at the pool, Mr Panda the pool GM, Amir at the beach, all contributed to our great break. However, there were issues with building work. What did amaze me though was the reaction and response from Mr Issam. The hotel Operations Director only heard that we mentioned the noisy building work. He then went out of his way to meet with us and ensure that he did everything he could to make our stay fabulous. There will always be issues but it is how people respond to overcome the problems that put certain businesses above others. Great, hotel, great location and even better staff!!! Read less
