3rd time visit at Rotana!
This was my third stay at Khalidiya by Rotana, and once again it did not disappoint.
Firstly, I’d like to give a special thank you to Prasanta, who was fantastic from start to finish. He helped us secure the best deal for our stay and was incredibly accommodating when we wanted to extend our visit. His excellent customer service made the whole booking process seamless.
Check-in was quick and efficient. We had booked two rooms, although one unfortunately had a damp smell. The General Manager (I believe his name was Andy) handled the situation exceptionally well and kindly offered us a discounted family room. Once we moved, the room was perfect, and we were extremely happy with it.
A special mention also goes to Vanessa and May in the restaurant. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they were always welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They genuinely go above and beyond to make guests feel valued, and their outstanding service made every meal even more enjoyable.
The rest of the team also deserve recognition. From Guest Services to Housekeeping and Room Service, every member of staff was polite, professional, and always willing to help. Their hospitality is one of the reasons we keep returning.
Would I stay here again? Absolutely. This hotel continues to provide excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and wonderful staff. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Good holidays!
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the hotel itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I would like to mention the chef Abu Halab, the kindest chef I have met! I have no words for the food — everything was absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed our time here!
Too Much Noise from the Pool
Too Much Noise from the Pool
I had a pleasant stay; however, one thing was quite disappointing: the noise from the pool area.
I completely understand having music by the pool, but this time it was far too loud and could be heard constantly from inside the rooms, making it difficult to relax, take a nap, or simply enjoy some peace and quiet.
I stayed at this hotel last year and did not experience this issue. There was music by the pool, but it wasn’t disturbing from the rooms.
I really hope the hotel can return to the balance they had before: a nice atmosphere around the pool while keeping the rooms peaceful and quiet.

Enjoyable short stay with family in Abu Dhabi
The room is big and clean, beds are comfortable. Faciality is nice and staff is helpful. food and drinks prices in hotel are convenient and great value for services provided. View from rooms towards the sea is good and location is prime. room is quite and enjoayable. TV channels are good range fits for all. You feel cozy at the hotel. I have only few comments to consider that the hotel was not cooling the pool water, the number of seats around pool need to be increased to allow for more seating area, and the parking is very tide, and it take time to take and return car.

Always Exceeding Our Expectations! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We stayed at Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana, and once again, they made our stay truly unforgettable. We chose to stay at the hotel to celebrate my birthday, and what could have been a simple celebration turned into a collection of beautiful memories thanks to the amazing team.
From the moment we entered the hotel, we immediately felt welcomed. The bell team and staff were always smiling, friendly, and ready to assist. Even though the hotel was quite busy when we arrived and we had to wait a few minutes for our room to be ready, the staff handled everything professionally and made sure we were comfortable.
What really touched us was the thoughtful birthday surprise. The hotel sent a birthday cake for me and sweets for my daughter, and seeing how happy she was made the celebration even more special. These little gestures may seem simple, but they truly make a big difference and show how much the hotel values its guests.
We were also pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary drinks for the whole family while waiting. I honestly didn't expect it, and it was such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel even more appreciated.
A special mention to Rhollie from the Bell Desk and Julie from the Front Office, who made our check-in smooth, welcoming, and stress-free. Their professionalism and warm attitude really stood out.
We would also like to thank Riza and Adeel from Horizon, Ohid from Recreation, and Jethro from the Gym for their excellent service and for making our stay even more enjoyable.
What we love most about Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana is that the service feels genuine. It's not just about the beautiful hotel or the facilities it's the people who make the experience special. Every interaction made us feel valued and well taken care of.
Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration so memorable. We truly appreciate all the thoughtful touches and wonderful hospitality.
Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana never fails to exceed our expectations. We will definitely be back again!
