My experience at Rotana Hotel Restaurant was truly outstanding, and much of that is thanks to Tinashe, a young and exceptionally dynamic professional who perfectly represents the high standards of hospitality the establishment is known for. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and welcoming—clearly reflecting the quality and reputation of Rotana. Tinashe went above and beyond in every aspect of service. His energy, professionalism, and genuine passion for customer care were immediately evident. He was attentive without being intrusive, respectful, well-spoken, and incredibly efficient. What impressed me most was his ability to anticipate needs, ensuring that everything was handled seamlessly and with great attention to detail. He embodies all the qualities of an outstanding hospitality professional—excellent communication, patience, courtesy, teamwork, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Even during busy moments, he remained calm, focused, and consistently delivered service with a smile, making every guest feel valued and appreciated. Rotana Hotel itself deserves high praise for maintaining such exceptional standards. The ambiance, service quality, and overall experience reflect a commitment to excellence that is truly commendable. It is clear that the hotel invests in both its environment and its people, which is why professionals like Tinashe shine so brightly. I would highly recommend Rotana Hotel Restaurant to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience. If you have the opportunity to be served by Tinashe, consider yourself fortunate—you are guaranteed nothing short of exceptional service. This is hospitality at its finest.

“What a fantastic hotel Beach Rotana is, it’s the best we’ve have ever stayed in and we have been to many around the world. The level of service from every member of staff is amazing, friendly and you feel very welcomed in every area within the establishment. We had the all inclusive dine around package, highly recommended and an absolute must do if you visit this hotel . All the restaurants are excellent with their own chef and all offer a different style and individual ambiance. We particularly enjoyed Rodeo Grill, Indigo and Trader Vics. Excellent buffet restaurant is of a highly standard and the breakfasts are particularly enjoyable. Rooms, whilst not large, are very comfortable and we enjoyed a nice sea view. Housekeeping standards are exceptional, very clean and adequately supplied with everything you need, including plenty of bottled water which is always appreciated. The beach is very clean and the pool area very nice, great service from the team in that area made for some enjoyable lazy days. After a great weeks holiday we ended up staying an additional 8 nights due to the disruption in the area, we were looked after so well and made to feel very safe and we cannot thank the staff at the hotel enough for the attention and time they had for us and the reassurance that we had a room and full board for as long as was needed. A few mentions of individuals who gave particular high service levels, Dinukka, housekeeping on floor 7, smiley friendly interaction every time we saw him with excellent standards of room cleaning, Ashok on the beach, friendly efficiency service daily, Manisha in Trader Vics, great host and Lara, Guest Relations Manager who along with the reception team were amazing. Our first time in Abu Dhabi, and despite all the unexpected events we will be back when it is safe to do so. Thank you Beach Rotana,!”
Something really special going on in this one....

“Top class facilities, very comfortable, classy hotel with wonderful staff.
Stayed here two weeks with family small- child and adults aged between thirty and sixty.
The food, we pretty much only used the buffet, was absolutely delicious.
Really couldn't fault it. Lovely beach and large simming pool Plenty of sun, skyscrapers not blocking any out, or shortening the sunbathing day, as can so often happen in skyscraper cities.
Good choice of restaurants and general facilities. Very comfortable rooms, really nothing to fault. This hotel also has anwalkway direct from the Lobby into the Abu Dhabi Mall, so don't even have to go out in the street. Basically loved it.”
Amazing.

“This has been our favourite hotel for 23 years, and its standards never drop. Rooms range from good-average size upwards, depending on price. Regardless of size, they are all well maintained and serviced by efficient and helpful staff. The range of first-class restaurants is second to none. We have occasionally stayed elsewhere when the Beach Rotana has been full, but would never choose to. As a bonus, the hotel connects directly to Abu Dhabi Mall.”

“We stayed at Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi during the recent airspace disruption and could not have asked for a better place to be in such an unusual situation. The entire team remained calm, professional and incredibly supportive while many travelers were dealing with uncertainty.
A very special thank you to Salman at the Concierge Reception, who went above and beyond to help us organize a shuttle towards Oman so we could continue our journey from there. His support made a huge difference for us.
This is true hospitality — thank you to the entire Beach Rotana team for the exceptional service and kindness we experienced during a difficult moment.”

“Excellent hotel. Fabulous location next to the Abu Dhabi Mall, where you can nip in for food, shopping and anything you need. The hotel has an excellent gym, and a big beach for sunbathing. Attentive staff. Shout out to Charles on the front desk, a Camaroonian who brought smiles and fun to a stressful situation. I'll be back.”
A True Safe Haven in Difficult Times

“Our stay at Beach Rotana was truly exceptional, especially considering the difficult circumstances during our visit. In a time of uncertainty and military conflict, we found calm, safety, and above all genuine kindness here.
The entire hotel team took outstanding care of us with professionalism, empathy, and sincere willingness to help. Everyone – from the reception staff to the restaurant teams and housekeeping – was incredibly kind, supportive, and always ready to assist us with anything we needed. During such stressful moments, their approach meant more to us than words can express.
A special mention also goes to the cuisine. The food was absolutely amazing – diverse, fresh, and of an exceptionally high standard. Every meal was not only a culinary experience but also a moment when we could briefly forget about the situation outside.
The sea was beautifully clean and well maintained, which we truly appreciated. There were always enough sunbeds available both by the pool and on the beach, so we never had to worry about finding a place to relax.
The pool is a bit smaller and more suitable for cooling off rather than for longer swimming sessions, but it is very pleasant and well kept. Inflatable floats and water loungers are allowed in the sea, but not in the pool.
For us, Beach Rotana was not just a hotel, but a true safe haven. We are deeply grateful for everything and will always remember this experience with appreciation.
We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for not only high-quality service and excellent gastronomy, but also a place where you truly feel cared for and safe.”
The best so far in AD

“Just returned from Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi last Thursday. this was our 5th visit to the hotel. Would go again. Very friendly staff, beautiful specious rooms above 7th floor, very clean, fantastic swimming pool, and the staff at the swimming pool bar are fantastic particularly Navin.
Recommend all inclusive dine around option as the food is really good at all the Ala carte restaurants.”

“5 star rating.
This is an exceptional hotel, staff are all
attentive and excellent. If I was to single
out one thing from our amazing time at this hotel it would be the buffet, the quality and diversity of the food far beyond any buffet we have experienced elsewhere. We intend coming back in May it’s that good!”
Excellent all round

“Although we had eaten in a few of the restaurants over the years, this was our first stay. We had 10 nights on the all inclusive dine around package booked through Etihad holidays. This is an excellent hotel with excellent restaurants. We tried most of the restaurants including Essence, the hotel dining room which served excellent food.
Indigo, nice food, nice atmosphere, good service.
Prego’s, food just OK, service poor.
Essence, food excellent, so much choice, good service.
Rodeo grill, brilliant food and excellent friendly service.
Trader Vic’s, brilliant food and excellent friendly service.
Brauhaus, nice food, good service.
Bayview, where we spent our days by the pool. Excellent food, excellent service. Thanks to Dharmesh for organising cake on my wife’s birthday and his general attentiveness during our stay. Thanks to Navin and the team for keeping everything organised, great job folks! Thanks also to Abdallah for keeping the toilets, locker room and spa area very tidy.
The dine around option is a must over the all inclusive package where you can only eat and drink in the Essence restaurant. The available food and drink options are exceptional and I would challenge anyone to say the choices are poor. Just remember, when out for the evening, you can only drink in the restaurant you are eating in. Should not be a problem though. Also, make sure you book in the finer months where evenings are lovely and outside seating may be at a premium.
All in all, a great holiday, thanks team.
Cheers, room 709 😃😃”

Imesha provided excellent service throughout my visit. She welcomed me warmly and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail truly made my dining experience special.
Thank you for the outstanding hospitality . See you again !”

“We stayed at Beach Rotana for six nights. It was a great experience. The landscaping and gardens are beautiful and really well maintained. The whole hotel is immaculate and the rooms are cleaned regularly, plus every evening housekeeping pop by to ask if you have what you need. We were all inclusive (standard) and the main restaurant did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the staff were fantastic. Especially Alvin who constantly checked in on us to see if we had everything we needed. The only thing that could have been improved is - we could only go to Trader Vics in the evening after dinner, as this was the only area included in our package. It would have been nice to sit outside especially as Trader Vics allows smoking and I am asthmatic. We will definitely return here but next time do All inclusive plus so that we can sample some of the other amazing restaurants.”
An amazing resort, with excellent services and staff and good location

“This is our second visit to this resort, for 14 days, end of January & February, and we felt that that the staff and services were even better than the last visit. The door men, potter were always smiling & ready to help with opening the car and main entrance doors and ordering the taxis, The reception staff were excellent and always willing to help.
The main restaurant staff, from management to waiters or waitresses were all wonderful, very helpful, polite, always smiling and it seemed no job was not theirs or too big for them. The restaurant, top management, the staff who received us and who who showed us to the table from day one knew about my limited mobility and special dietary requirements and my husbands love of masala tea. We were always offered a table near the buffet area and at breakfast without asking pots of masala tea would be served . The chefs and his team always offered us tasty meals and were very helpful with my dietary requirements and cooking my meals..
The pool/beach staff were all smiling, very polite and helpful. After few days they knew where we liked to sit and they knew we would take the fruit we had bought from the mall to eat and without asking they would bring us the cutlery. The cleaners in both changing rooms very good at making sure the area was kept dry.
Our room cleaner on the 7th floor was very good, asking us every time she saw us if the room needs cleaning, do we need any thing,
.Th attached mall made it an extra good location.
A big thank you to each and every member in each and every area. It is impossible to pick a member of staff who was very good as they were all excellent.
Just one suggestion to make the visit even better.
If one does not want to eat at the main restaurant than they should be given a voucher enabling them to redeem it at any other restaurant and pay the excess amount.”
Really nice hotel, fantastic staff

“I am just back from a lovely trip to Abu Dhabi where my husband and I stayed at the Beach Rotana on an All Inclusive package. The hotel is stunning, All the stff were amazing, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. When we arrived we were given the AI options and where we could eat and drink. The alcoholic options were grey for us, crlsberg beer or kronenbourg for my husband with lots of lovely wine options along with great cocktails albeit limited choice. I will say though if anyone is looking to choose the AI option be aware that options are very very limited to where you can sit in the eveningif you want an alcoholic drink being only the Traders Vic restaurant/bar which is a Smoking bar. This became quite unbearable at times and not great for my asthmatic husband. After 4 nights we had enough and asked if there was another option to be told we could sit in the outside area of the buffet restaurant! The hotel has a lovely courtyard area, which we were not allowed to sit in with a AI drink. We ended up sitting there the last two nights and just paid for drinks. So be aware the options are not great for AI, if choosing this option then I would advise the AI Plus as way more option. I also felt the pool was a little far away from the main building with again our only option to eat during the day was back at the buffet restaurant. We had no options from the pool /beach menu. The staff at the beach were fantastic and very attentive, especially, Morshud, Ashoka, Vamshi and Danesh. The pool bar staff were also fantastic. We made it to the in-house gym a Couple of mornings which was a great gym, very well equipped. We made a reservation at the Rodeo Grill one evening and I think it was one of the best steaks I’ve tasted and had great service from Dolma. This hotel is really well situated to the Galleria and a nice walk to the Corniche area. All in all we had a really good time at this hotel just a little disappointed by the AI options .”
