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.

The St Regis is a delight! The hotel is excellent, quiet luxury - that's what it's all about! A very green and cozy area, despite its size - the hotel is very large, almost 400 rooms. The hotel is surrounded by greenery and looks like an Italian palazzo. The rooms are comfortable, the bath is gorgeous, the bed is very comfortable. The butler service is very convenient and cool: they will wake you up, bring you coffee, iron your things, organize an event, etc... Special thanks to butler Ksenia - she surrounded me with care and attention and organized a surprise for her birthday. The service in the hotel is excellent - everything is already provided for you, there is nothing to complain about. Lots of Russian speaking staff. An excellent pool for adults - there are gazebos with fans, cool water in the pool, a lot of shade and greenery, they wipe glasses, bring fruit and ice cream, bring water in an ice bucket and constantly refresh it. Opposite is a lawn on which gazelles run. As for the food at the buffet, this is the level of a good restaurant. There is everything or almost everything) the breakfasts are great: eggs in all sorts of varieties, lots of pastries, a vegan table, good coffee and a lot of fruit. For dinner there are always fish and meat dishes, lots of desserts, salads and appetizers, and lots of seafood. I would especially like to mention the Athletic Club. It has a huge gym, a full-size swimming pool, sauna, hammam, squash and tennis court. We played tennis in the mornings and evenings. The manager Santan is a very cool guy and a good person. In addition to rackets and balls, he brought cold mint towels to the court, and generally surrounded us with care and attention. There is a refrigerated room on the court where you can relax, there is a refrigerator and a toilet. It was my birthday and the Athletic Club surprised me right on the court - it was unforgettable! Santan arrived with a cake, candles, a congratulatory letter and balloons! It was so unexpected and very pleasant! St Regiss is love at first sight and forever! If you want to pamper yourself, then come here! Read less
