Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Saadiyat Rotana Resort And Villas is often praised for its proximity to a lovely beach, making it a great location, especially convenient for events like the Sadiyat Nights concerts. The spacious and bright rooms, some with king beds and single beds, are a hit with families; and the extensive and high-quality breakfast buffet is frequently mentioned, along with dining options like Turtle Bay grill and the Italian restaurant. Some guests have mentioned ongoing building work near the gym, though many find the location easily accessible from both the airport and the city by taxi and appreciate the range of facilities available.

modern room awesome breakfast great cleaning weak wifi expensive wifi

We appreciated the spacious and modern room. the breakfast offered a fantastic variety of options! the team cleaning our room, specifically room 430, did a really great job. I am grateful. the location near the beach was perfect.

The wifi signal was weak. It barely let me check messages. i found it really expensive to buy faster wifi. I was unhappy with the noise. the orange pool towels didn't fit the sun loungers well, and the beds felt very hot.
