Saadiyat island has been our favorite family destination for the last couple of years due to its beaches, beautiful sea and rich fauna (dolphins, octopuses). Rotana hotel offers a great services especially by the pool area and the beach, I’d like to thank Peter and colleagues for their professionalism and kindness. Both us and our kids will be happy to come back sometime soon. I may definitely recommend Rotana as the best hotel in the area.

Come again? I would definitely come again. Super convinient for families whether big or small with kids. Room booked: I booked the villa which comes with your own private pool for ultimate family privacy. Unfortunately you can't just walk out of the pool directly to the beach although as you can see from the picture there's a straight eye line view. The reason is the area between the villas tland the beach is a natural reservation. Restaurants: There is a good variety around 3 or 4. The main one is my preferred choice as it's more international and open buffet type. Others are italian, european, americans... etc Facilities: Nice kids club with its own small pool. I believe its depth is less than 1 meter (probably 50 cm). If you're too concerned about it the call the hotel to confirm. There's no water park, however, there's one outside the resort (20 mons drive). Resort location: In an islan called Saadiyat in the country's capital city Abu Dhabi. You can get there by car not by fair as it's very adjacent to the mainland. You could get there either from Dubai Airport (1.5 hrs away) or from Abu Dhabi Airport (30 min away). I arrived from Dubai airport due the flights schedule flexibility from my country. Try to be here on Saturday. They do a Saturalday Brunch (1 to 4 pm). It's super remaekable open buffet with so so many variety of food and singing. Super family friendly, nothing wild. I hope the review is sufficient. I gace 4 stars for the overall rating due to the lack of variety of beach activities such as, night shows for kids, special beach activities during the day. Other than that everything is great.
