I came back to Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi almost exactly a year later, and somehow it was even better the second time. From an unexpected suite upgrade to one of the best hotel pools in Abu Dhabi, this stay reminded me exactly why I love this place so much.
If you’re curious about the Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi gym, this hotel has a surprisingly impressive fitness space, polished common areas, and easy access to Marina Mall Abu Dhabi. I didn’t get to try every restaurant, but the gym alone was worth writing about—and the location made the stay even better.
If service can make or break a hotel stay, Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi absolutely delivers. From a spacious Junior Suite and a surprisingly substantial club lounge to thoughtful birthday surprises and genuinely warm staff, this is one of the best-value luxury stays in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
