DK Eyewitness
"While the well-appointed rooms are comfortable and come with good facilities, the attraction at this splendid hotel is the white sand beach and the popular PADI dive school."
Rough Guide
"This smart modern beachfront resort-style hotel is probably the nicest place to stay in the city after the Emirates Palace, and a whole lot cheaper."
Time Out
"Probably the most family orientated of the top hotels in the city, the Beach Rotana is connected to Abu Dhabi Mall, meaning shopaholics don’t have far to walk."
