Arabian Wildlife Park

We stayed at the novotel as it was a good inbetween from the airport and locations we were looking to visit and the rooms were decent. As I had a long transit n Abu Dhabi, I intentionally booked for 2 nights so we would not have to wait to check in for 2pm as we reaching early morning and provided the Novotel team with our arrival info. Still ended up waiting for the room to be prepped as the staff at Novotel clearly had not read my message. So disappointed in that sense but overall the rooms and hotel is well maintained Hotel itself is clean

Great Hotel with a great location in Abu Dhabi

I had a wonderful stay at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi! The staff were amazing throughout. Special shoutout to the barman at the adults-only pool (his name starts with R) — his mocktails were incredible and he had such great energy. I really appreciated how accommodating the hotel was for non-alcoholic drinkers. Claude was so kind and helpful with my luggage on the day I left, and the general manager also made time to speak with me, which was such a lovely touch. The staff at The People’s Restaurant were by far the friendliest — I highly recommend them. Benson, who kindly cleaned my sunglasses by the pool and was always polite, was also fantastic. The private beach is a huge plus — quiet and very relaxing. Rooms were always cleaned to perfection. Only downsides: I wasn’t allowed to take away my leftover sushi at the Asian restaurant on the 38th floor when I wasn’t feeling well, and it was disappointing to hear it would go in the bin — I shared this feedback with the manager. The only other small issue was the gentleman from the spa who frequently interrupted guests relaxing by the pool to promote treatments — this became a bit much and actually put me off visiting the spa entirely. Overall, I had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Thank you to the Rixos team for making my stay so special! The overall atmosphere of the hotel was luxurious yet welcoming, and the attention to detail across every part of the experience really stood out.
