The hype
Families adore the pool scene and kids' club, but couples often find it too chaotic and loud.
Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi
$170-280 / νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want a massive, all-inclusive style resort experience with Turkish hospitality right in the city center.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The 'Rixy Kids Club' is legitimately world-class, keeping children entertained for hours
- Architectural spectacle—the building is a giant pink arch visible from miles away
- Excellent dining variety, from the massive Turquoise buffet to the casual People's restaurant
Γρήγορη Ματιά: It's a high-energy family factory that looks like a futuristic palace but feels like a busy Turkish resort dropped onto a breakwater.
Αξιολόγηση από @CupcakesCaviar: I was blown away by the sheer grandeur of this place. The lobby is stunning, but my favorite part was the shaded splash pad—a total lifesaver for the kids in the heat. The ocean views from the balcony are just as incredible as they look.

Reality check
The 'Sea View' is stunning, but if you're on a lower floor, the bass from the pool bar or evening entertainment will vibrate your walls until 11 PM.
- You are traveling with high-energy kids who need constant entertainment
- You love the 'all-inclusive' vibe where you don't have to leave the property for meals
- You want to be walking distance to a major mall (Marina Mall) for shopping and errands

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
Yes, alcohol is served at Isla Beach Bar, Anti-Dote, and other designated outlets, despite the conservative location.
Is the beach real?
It is a private sandy beach, but it sits on a breakwater inlet. The water is calm and flat, lacking the open-sea feel of Saadiyat.
Is it truly all-inclusive?
Rixos offers an 'All-Inclusive' package that covers all meals and drinks, but you must specifically book this rate. Standard rates are room-only or bed & breakfast.
Can I walk to the Corniche?
Technically yes, but it's a long walk across the bridge. It's better to take a quick 5-minute taxi.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets and service animals are strictly prohibited.
Is there a shuttle to the airport?
No free hotel shuttle, but the public 'Visit Abu Dhabi' shuttle (Route B1) stops nearby at Heritage Village.

Walk to the 'Heritage Village' next door for a free, quick dose of culture and great skyline views.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The building was empty for years before opening, so despite being 'new', the plumbing can sometimes be finicky.
💡The 'Sea View' rooms actually face the open Gulf, while 'Corniche View' faces the city skyline—Corniche view is actually prettier at night.
💡You can hear the call to prayer quite clearly from the nearby mosque.
💡The elevators have a smart dispatch system that confuses people and causes backups during breakfast.
💡The lobby scent is intense—a heavy Turkish rose/oud perfume that you will either love or hate.
