We recently had the pleasure of dining at Essence Restaurant in Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable, with Jamirah, Edwin, and Anitha going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of throughout the evening. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the fresh sushi, which was impeccably prepared and full of flavor. The quality of the seafood was outstanding, and the kani salad added the perfect fresh, crunchy touch to our meal. The flavors were balanced beautifully and kept us coming back for more. We also tried the Duck Thai Red Curry, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The combination of tender duck and the creamy curry was a standout dish. For dessert, we enjoyed a decadent treat that rounded off the meal perfectly. It was the ideal sweet ending to a flawless dining experience. The service was attentive and friendly, with Jamirah, Edwin, and Anitha always on hand to ensure we had everything we needed. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a fantastic place for both casual and special occasions. Highly recommend Essence for anyone in Abu Dhabi looking for fresh, high-quality food and exceptional service!

OMG! I'm truly amazed how friendly, kind & loving the staff at Beach Rotana hotel are from the Receptionists, security, doormen (Aileen...my favourite front desk staff, Charles, Tamar, Francis, Faizan, Tarzania, Shakhauat, doorman Joseph & Habeeb, Valet) and most importantly, the restaurant and kitchen staff. Thanks Mr Victor, Caterine, Nawaraj, May, Nilar, MD Sajid, Aye, Chefs Pearl, Rishabh, Bhagirath, Sara Housni & Righie, much appreciated 👏 Food & service is always on point and delicious AM to PM. Thank you all for making my birthday extra memorable and special 💗 It's my first time in Abu Dhabi and in your hotel. I'll definitely visit again, recommend, and stay in your hotel...Beach Rotana, you delivered beyond my expectations. 10/10 & 5* service 👏 👏 THANK YOU ALL!

A Home Away from Home*

Our recent stay at your hotel was nothing short of magical, and we felt compelled to share our heartfelt gratitude. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel instantly at home.

Exceptional Service

A special mention must go to Ialent, who truly made our stay unforgettable. Every interaction with Ialent was filled with smiles and a genuine desire to make our experience remarkable. The meals at the restaurant were not only fresh and delicious but also crafted with such creativity. The chefs’ willingness to share the stories behind their culinary creations added a special touch. The pastries and desserts were nothing short of extraordinary, each bite a testament to the incredible skill and passion of the culinary team.

Spotless Cleanliness

The impeccable cleanliness of the hotel was something we truly appreciated. Every corner, from our room to the pool area and the pristine beach, was maintained to perfection. It was clear that great effort went into ensuring a spotless environment for all guests.

Exceptional Staff

The beach and reception staff were equally remarkable. Their friendliness and eagerness to assist us at every turn made our stay even more enjoyable. We encountered a few situations where the behavior of other guests was less than ideal, but your staff handled everything with such grace and professionalism—it was truly commendable.

A Unique Experience

As seasoned travelers who have journeyed through over 100 countries, we can confidently say that we have never experienced such consistently delightful service. The kindness and professionalism of your staff stood out, making our stay unforgettable.

Heartfelt Thanks

We sincerely hope that hotel management recognizes the invaluable role that the staff play in creating a successful and memorable stay. These hardworking individuals are the true heart and soul of the hotel, and their dedication and hard work should be celebrated and appreciated.

We are already counting down the days until we can return to this wonderful place. Thank you for creating such a haven of hospitality—it’s a rare gem in our...

First time in Abu-Dhabi and I must say Beach Rotana certainly lived up to it's reputation. From the very first step into reception all throughout is exceptional.

Nothing is a problem and seamless throughout. The staff are friendly & I must say a Big thank you to Catherine & her team in the dining hall. Catherine is such a lovely person with plenty of passion looking after her guests and making sure we were happy. She went above and beyond for our son who I must say is hard work to keep happy at times. Thank you Catherine it was a absolute pleasure to meet you.

The rooms are fantastic, the pool staff are also friendly and go above & beyond too.

If your looking for a really nice luxury setting in Abu-Dhabi then I higly recommend Beach Rotana 5 star throughout.

Chef Ritchie bless her has also looked after us. My son had chicken nuggets and chips most of the holiday. Apparently better than Mc donalds lol...

Thank you chef Ritchie for going out your way to cook seperate meals from what was being served your very kind and we thank you.

Chefs here at Rotana cook exceptional dishes that not only look great but taste absolutely devine using different sauces and ingredients to make the best of the dishes being served. How they do this is unbelievable. Even the presentation of the food it is exceptional.

Again thank you Rotana and to all the staff who made our visit here comfortable & relaxing. Till we meet again as we will definitely be back.

Best...
