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!
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.

As good as I remember
This was actually our second visit, we stayed back in September 2023 and this time was just as memorable. We requested a room with a view of the palace and got upgraded to one with a balcony and a view of the palace and Emirates palace. A great spot for watching the sunset each evening.
The pool and beach were amazing and we even saw dolphins swimming on one of the days, which was such a lovely surprise. The sauna, steam room and jacuzzi were just as good as I remembered. They're male and female specific for those that prefer a little bit more privacy.
We had the lunch buffet and the food was lovely, but the vanilla profiteroles were sublime - so much so I actually complimented the chef, which isn't like me at all :)
Two things would need to improve for me to rate it 5* but recognise they are more preferences. Firstly the pillows. I prefer a firm, supportive pillow, the hotel pillows were anything but which did affect my quality of sleep. Secondly the building design compounded my lack of sleep as noise travels and unfortunately unruly children making noise early morning tended to be the wake up alarm!
As for location there's a couple of upscale hotels around but if you want to get into downtown Abu Dhabi you'll need a bus or taxi, not really much within walking distance.
Overall a great stay, would happily go back again.

Thank You for Making Our Son's Birthday Truly Special
We celebrated our son's birthday at Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana, and it was a wonderful and memorable experience for our family.
Special thanks to Julie (Reception), Christian, Alex, and Breen (Baggage Team), Regine, Sai, and Yasin (Food Service), and Chef Sfarana, Chef Lithin, and Chef Srijana for their outstanding hospitality, excellent service, and delicious food.
Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our son's special day even more memorable. Thank you to the entire team for making our celebration truly special. Highly recommended!
