Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was deeply disappointing, especially considering the price and the supposed 5-star standard.
The most serious issue was the extremely loud air conditioning. It was impossible to sleep: when switched on, it was unbearably noisy; when switched off, the room became too warm. Opening the windows was not an option due to heavy traffic noise. This alone made the stay very uncomfortable, particularly as we were traveling with a baby.
The room itself was very small, far below what one would expect at this price level. There was no minibar at all, and the refrigerator was completely empty. Drinking water in the room was only provided after explicitly requesting it, which is unacceptable for a hotel of this category. Surprisingly, there were also no bathrobes provided — something one would normally expect in a 5-star hotel.
The room service was poor, and basic requests often required repeated follow-ups. Even with the “Do Not Disturb” sign displayed, housekeeping knocked on the door.
Breakfast was another major disappointment: it was chaotic, loud, poorly organized, and stressful. Water was not readily available and, if requested, was often served only in coffee-to-go paper cups. Overall, the breakfast quality and organization did not match the price paid.
There was also a constant lack of internal communication. We had to explain every single day that our breakfast had been exchanged for lunch. Even a complimentary dinner, which had been agreed upon with a senior manager, had to be explained again at the restaurant just 10 minutes later.
Finally, the beach area does not match the photos shown online. The advertised sunbeds do not reflect reality; there are only very few actual “beds” available, which feels misleading.
Overall, we paid €374 per night, and the price-to-performance ratio is completely unjustified, regardless of the season. This hotel is nowhere near worth what is being charged, and despite multiple discussions with management, the core issues were never properly resolved.
This was a very frustrating experience, and we would not return.

I recently visited Hemingway’s, the sports bar at Radisson Blu Corniche, Abu Dhabi, and I absolutely loved the ambiance. The outlet has a lovely outdoor area where you can relax while enjoying the perfect spot to unwind.
Mr. Francis and his team were extremely accommodating and attentive. They consistently checked on us and made sure everything was taken care of, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was excellent from start to finish.
I will definitely be coming back whenever I need a place to relax and enjoy great food and service.

I recently stayed at the Radisson Blu Hotel on the Abu Dhabi Corniche and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right across from the beautiful Corniche with easy access to the beach, walking areas, and nearby attractions.
The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. My room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and a stunning view of the sea. Housekeeping did a great job ensuring everything stayed spotless throughout my stay.
The hotel facilities were impressive. The pool area is relaxing and well-designed, perfect for unwinding in the afternoon. The gym offers good equipment and plenty of space. I also tried the restaurants, and the food quality was excellent—especially the breakfast buffet, which had a wide variety of fresh options.
Overall, Radisson Blu exceeded my expectations. Whether for business or leisure, it’s an ideal place to stay in Abu Dhabi. I will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

For me it was the perfect hotel as it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday from private beach to food & drinks and great health club. First of all the staff are great and helpful. Good room but small. Good restaurants and cafés. Different swimming pools sizes for adults and children. Little playing area for children. Nice lazy river and riding waves sport which double the fun. But unfortunately the sky zip was out of service. I had all of inclusive package but I don't recommend it. The swimming pools and the beach across the street but there is an easy walk tunnel to cross.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. A big thank-you to Hope, Asha, Christian, Divine, Sabrat, Richard and especially Monica, who welcomed us warmly every morning and evening. We also enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and friendly service in the café.
We did have one small issue in the Westpol Lounge: a waiter sent us away due to a supposed minimum consumption, without checking that we were hotel guests. Later we learned that guests are allowed to sit there even just for a coffee. Luckily, a very kind lady at the entrance took great care of us and made the experience positive again.
Overall, we were very satisfied and would happily return.
