Let’s take a look at the 5-star luxury hotel Rixos Marina in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Inside the hotel. Premium Room with sea view. Full hotel facilities and activities. Pool and private beach. Ultra all-inclusive meals such as breakfast buffet, lunch. A la carte Italian dinner. Visit to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. Spa. Water activities. Please enjoy our two-night stay at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi! The luxury hotel is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Hi. We’re on our way to one of the newest luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi. The iconic building can be seen from far away. After passing through the main gate, we arrived. In front of Rixos Marina building, there’s an iconic fountain. The hotel facade is impressive. There are palm trees and gardens on both sides of the fountain plaza. Rixos Marina opened in 2022 and has a unique design inspired by cruise ships. Luxury hotel is one of the most noticeable buildings in the city, visible from miles away. The road leading to the entrance is beautiful. Along the way, you’ll see sea-inspired animal sculptures. Fairmont Marina is located close to the Rixos Marina building. The waterways create a pleasant atmosphere. The scenery here is beautiful both during the day and at night. In front of the main entrance, there is another one. The building stands 170 meters (558 feet) tall, with a total built-up area of around 300,000 square meters. There are 38 floors and over 560 rooms and suites. Facade was inspired by a luxury cruise ship, with many curves and a central tower. If you come by car, get off here. Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi is part of the Rixos Hotels brand, which is owned by Accor Hotels. Enter now. First impression is amazing. Lobby is grand, open and filled with luxurious details. There are professional dancers here. Quite a unique check-in. If we look up at the chandelier… We’ll see that it is made of sparkling blue glass. On the left, I found a hotel layout plan showing the property. It highlights the main building, pool areas, restaurants, beach access and surrounding gardens. On the other side, there’s the same way we came through earlier. Three check in desks are available. Since we have private check-in this time, it will happen here. We’re welcomed with Arabic coffee. And dates. Three portraits of the UAE’s royal leaders are displayed. Welcome drink is fresh orange juice. Good. Rixos is part of the all-inclusive collection, so we received orange bracelets at check-in. The dancers in the lobby add a touch of elegance and create a nice atmosphere. It seems like everyone passing by is captivated by the performance. I love this song. If you like our travel vlogs, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel. Thanks! Luxurious staircase. Above, a unique art piece functions as a chandelier. Ceiling is also intriguing. Further inside, there is the lounge area. It’s called Infinity. I like the sound of the violin and harp playing. It makes me feel calm. They also sell food, tea, coffee, etc. Is this some kind of coffee or tea making process? I am really curious now. Food such as avocado bruschetta. Ham or beef croissant. Salmon wrap looks yummy. Pretzel with cheese. The ocean-inspired plates on the wall are stunning. It’s a huge seating area, very open and comfortable. There are also live piano performances here. Downstairs, there’s a round colorful fountain and the Rixos Hotels logo on the wall. Take a seat and enjoy before we head up to see the room. On the left, you’ll see Marina Beach and the main pool. The view is beautiful, with blue water and palm trees. In the corner, there are some really interesting desserts served by Infinity. Raspberry vanilla macaroon, Black forest cake, The pictachio. Pastries such as cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, caramel pecan. Dubai chocolate for 80 AED per bar (around 22 USD). Kataif baklava. Next, we’ll proceed to our room. 38 floors, almost all used as guest rooms. Elevator hall is also luxurious. We’re staying up on the 19th. This is very unexpected. The elevator ride only takes about 30 seconds, so it’s actually really quick. Here is where we’ll stay. There are 7 different room types and 8 suite categories. This time, we’ll be staying in the room called Premium room sea view with balcony. Key cards are pretty basic. I’m going to do a room tour now. Let’s see what’s inside the 400 USD / night room. This is the highest room category available before the suites. Room is 48 square meters (about 516 square feet) and feels very bright. Welcome fruits. A wooden fruit stand with avocado, mango, banana, dragon fruit and others. Hand written welcome letter. Welcome dried fruits and nuts inside. Figs, dates, pistachio, almonds. What do we have here… These seem to be traditional Turkish delights. Baklava, chocolates. The bed is king size and it is huge. It’s elegant. Not too simple but not overly decorated either. The linens feature a golden striped design. Texture is very premium to the touch. Two decorative pillows. Mattress is medium hard. All the pillows have a touch of silk. Both sleeping pillows are soft and super soft. The base of the night lamp features a unique design. Light switches are modern, as the hotel opened in 2023. Another lamp. This one features an intricate pattern. Reading lights are basic. On one of the night table, there is a phone and a notepad. Ottoman below. Minibar is quite mini. On the top shelf.. Porcelain cups and glasses. Cups are from Thomas. Electric kettle. Sugar packets. Tea from Le Provence brand. Nespresso machine. Alain complimentary water. Ice bucket has the Rixos logo. Let’s see the cabinet. Everything in the minibar is part of the all-inclusive package. Aladin snacks. Fridge is full of stuff. Chocolate sticks. Milk chocolate. And strawberry. Sodas. Schweppes. Budweiser beer. A stylish stand table and green velvet armchair. I thought they were real. Looks pretty comfortable. It is. The carpet features a grey base with subtle green accents. A floor lamp and a white vase. Working area. Chair is of beige leather. There are a few things on the counter. Stationery items are placed inside the leather case. Rixos magazine. Bathroom in front. Washbasins on the left, bathtub on the right. The bathtub can fit only one person so it is quite small. Bath mat. Plastic bath tray. Water flow is nice. Bathroom products are by Smith&Co New Zealand. Wooden mirror and marble counter. Washbasins have a round design and are paired with silver faucets. Face towels are normal. Shower caps, nail kit, comb, hairbrush, razor, toothbrushes are placed on a small tray. Hand wash and body lotion are from the same brand. Through this glass door, there’s a walk-in shower. The faucet and handle are so shiny. Rain shower is placed on top. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. Bath towel is thick. Toilet area. It’s a photo of a seashell. The bidet is well equipped. A silver handheld bidet. Toilet paper is ok. Full-length mirror is attached to the wall. Wardrobe is situated next to the entrance door. Quite spacious. All the rooms feature an iron and ironing board. Rixos shoe bag. Wooden hangers. Bathrobe is made of a light cotton fabric. Logo is written in gold on one of the pockets. Indoor slippers in white bags. They are pointed. Extra pillow is provided. Inside here there’s the safety box. Instructions on how to lock it. Inside the leather tray there’s the laundry bag and menu. Heating system works very well. TV remote controller inside. TV is from LG brand. Welcome message is displayed. Before heading out to the balcony, I want to check out the hotel’s restaurants and facilities. There are 7 full-service restaurants, including one Italian and one Asian. We received a full map of the resort upon our check-in. Not many rooms here have balconies. The balcony doors have a child-safety locking system. Balcony has two chairs and a table in the middle. Room has a higher cost due to the sea view. The outdoor area stretches beautifully along the waterfront, lined with palm trees and plenty of space to relax. The resort has three pools and a private beach. It’s a message. In the distance, we can see a good part of the city. There are many people swimming. That is the popular shell with a pearl inside. The main pool is an adults-only pool. The 38-story property is set just 50 m from its private beach and its main beach frontage stretches around 700 m long. We can see the whole Arabian Gulf in front of us. Next, time for lunch. Each of the two towers at Rixos Marina is equipped with 6 elevators. Since it’s an all-inclusive hotel, there are plenty of dining options to choose from. The grand staircase is made of marble A closer look at the fountain. Wow, so satisfying. Lunch is served at Terra Mare restaurant, open from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. We can also dine at The Flame, they’re connected to each other. It’s a buffet-style restaurant so I am really excited to see the food options. Rixos hotels in the Middle East and Turkey are known for their big, luxurious buffets with a mix of international and local food. Various cheese platters with by nuts, fresh and dried fruits. Cheeses include options such as brie, camembert, gouda, etc. Turkey breast and beef ham. Chili labneh balls, apricot jam, salad ingredients. More. Dressings and oils. A variety of yogurts are available, including plain, chia seed, fruit-flavored, granola-topped. Pasta is available. Arrabiata, bolognese, etc. Live duck rice here. The quantity is very large. Some kind of soup. Rice with a rich chicken curry. Fries. Salmon with tomato sauce. Mix veggies stew. Meatballs with mushrooms. Mix seafood soup inside. As we’re in the UAE, there’s a selection of both cold and hot mezze dishes. Moutabel, muhammara, hummus. Fava, babaganush, kisir. Mixed salads. Calamari, fattoush. Quinoa salad. Coleslaw and beetroot salad. Olives and pickles. Grilled green olives. Sesame sourdough bread. Bread buns. French baguettes and slices. The breads look like they’re freshly made in-house. There’s both plain butter and one mixed with herbs. Sweets options. Almond mini cakes, raspberry cake. Creme brulee. Red velvet cake. Chocolate mousse. Pistachio and fruits. Walnut tart. Profiteroles. I love rice pudding. Fruits such as kiwi, lychee, apples, peaches, oranges. Mango mousse cake. Mini cheesecake. This one is called exotic cake. More alternatives with caramel, vanilla, mango, blueberry and chocolate. Fresh cut fruits. Ice-cream such as vanilla, strawberry, pistachio, chocolate. There’s also a bar inside The Flame restaurant, where we’ll be enjoying our lunch. There are tables suitable for both groups and couples. Now that we chose a table, let’s get some drinks. Some iced coffee. Napkin has the logo on it. I did my best to make the salad look good. I also added some yogurt dressing and blue cheese. Bread with butter. It’s soft. Fries with roasted chicken and hummus. The hummus has a smooth, creamy texture. Favourite part from every meal. We picked up some cheesecake, creme brulee and profiteroles. I’ll start with the creme brulee. Good, not too sweet. The fruit mousse honestly smells like summer. Blueberry yogurt. Thank you for the food. Now we’re making our way to the garden area and the main pool, located in the center. As we go out, we see a big garden with palm trees on each side. Small fountain in front of the adults-only pool. Main pool is larger than I expected. The main pool has a depth of around 1.2 to 1.4 meters (approximately 4–4.6 feet). From here, we will get our pool towels. It’s a cute elephant. Pool regulations. The adults-only pool is much quieter than the others. Bottom of the pool has a very colorful design that resembles coral tones. A lifeguard is on duty from the moment the pool opens until it closes. Enter the pool. It feels so good to cool off after being out in the heat. There is also a bar inside the pool. We wanted to try some detox juices. Pineapple and carrot. From here, the pool looks stunning and you get a perfect view of the whole building. From the pool, we’re heading to the beach. It’s a beautiful dome-shaped building nearby. Finally made it to the giant seashell. It has a pearl inside. It is a great photo spot, everyone takes pictures from here. When we turn around, there’s the private beach area. The beach is lined with sunbeds and lots of umbrellas for shade. The sand is pleasant. Since we have plenty of time, we will relax on the sunbed here. Found a nice spot on the first row facing the water. Swimming area is well-defined and safely marked off from the rest of the sea. The waters of the Arabian Gulf are usually calm. It’s warm but not too hot, and there’s a light breeze coming in from the open water. Just admiring the hotel from the water. Tomorrow night we’ll dine there, at Isla restaurant. There’s always a flag indicating the current water conditions. Each sunbed has a thermal box packed with ice and bottles of still water. Just ordered a fresh coconut. Delivery is quite unique, isn’t it? Well thanks very much. Amazing service. The coconut is lightly sweet and has the logo stamped on one side. There are showers available nearby to rinse off after swimming. Whole area feels clean and well-maintained. Right by the beach, there’s a spot where you can schedule a relaxing cabana massage. Surely it is a great experience. Massage beds are already set up and ready for any upcoming appointments. Now it’s time to head back to the room and get ready for dinner. As we head to dinner, we stop to admire the hotel in the sunset light. After dark, Rixos Marina building lights up in blue. Logo is illuminated. Looking up, we can spot the elevator capsules gliding along the building. Vero Italiano is an a la carte Italian restaurant located next to the main building. Restaurant is open daily for dinner (6:30 pm to 11 pm), offering indoor and al‑fresco seating. It’s way more beautiful than I expected. Nice spot. Let’s head to the table. Reception desk on the left. Vero Italiano is often mentioned as the hotel’s best restaurant. The al fresco dining setup is beautiful with intimate tables. Take a seat. Vero Italiano napkin. We start with some fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic. Small basket with warm focaccia. It’s really soft. À la carte dinners are included only for stays of three nights or more. Otherwise, the buffet is the only option included in the all-inclusive package. This is quite romantic. There are plenty of tables inside too, but I think the atmosphere is much nicer outside. Italian music playing, of course. Tap to see the menu. Food, beverage and wine menus. Cocktails such as Aperol spritz. Wide variety of wines. So curious about the food.. Starters such as burrata and beef carpaccio. Classic Caesar salad and winter panzanella. Pasta and risotto dishes. Selection of pizza. Melanzane basilico, Angus ribs. I will definitely try this one. Dessert list. Now enjoy. Cheers! We’re starting with a green leafy salad to share. It comes with artichokes and pine nuts. Main course is here and looks impeccable. The Angus ribs comes with soft polenta, asparagus and demi glaze sauce. Baby carrot. Pizza Diavola. Pizza is never ever a bad choice. Satisfying crust. Wow, it’s so soft that you don’t even have to cut it. Bon appetite! A cold scented towel comes between the meals. Really refreshing. Tiramisu has a golden leaf on top. It is too beautiful that I don’t even want to ruin it. But I have to try it. Just perfect. Dinner’s over. It’s been such an amazing food experience. Let’s take a look at hotel at night. The atmosphere changes between day and night. The sound of the fountain is nice. Dolphin shines brightly. It feels a lot calmer now than it did earlier today. If we look up.. it is overwhelming. Hotel is beautifully illuminated and is surrounded by a blue led glow from top to bottom. Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi logo is shining on both towers. Return to hotel now. It’s still beautiful here at night. The building structure inside the lobby is also lit up, just like it is in real life. The inside of the dome is even more beautiful now. It looks like stalactites hanging from the ceiling. There are not too many people at this hour. Let’s see the staircase. The bottom of the fountain is the same as during the day. I’d like to take a look at the pool as well. There are two cats in the courtyard. I love looking up at the building from below. The palm trees are all wrapped in led lights. And they are a lot. You can enjoy a hookah by the pool. The pool is lit up in many colors. There’s a robot cleaning the pool and a sign on top says it’s closed. Interesting. They just closed the bar. I can see that there is a bright blue light coming out from the shell. Dome rooftop is not illuminated. During the day, the pearl isn’t lit, but at night it completely transforms, becoming almost too bright to look at. From this spot, it looks like it’s standing right in the center of the hotel and glowing in the exact same color. We go back to our room. Elevator keeps the same colors. Turndown service comes every day around 6 pm in all the rooms. The curtains in the room are drawn and the bed is arranged differently. Slippers have been placed by the bed. It’s also a letter on one side. It’s a joke about two frogs who fell in a hole. Water on both sides of the bed. See you tomorrow. Night! Good morning, ready for the first breakfast here. We are going to have it at Turquoise restaurant. Rixos Marina serves its breakfast buffet in two main restaurants: Turquoise and Terra Mare. Both offer international cuisine. After we chose a table, we’ll take a look at the buffet. For pastries they have banana bread, chocolate and almond muffins. Many types of bread. Traditional pita bread and pretzels, etc. Can you eat these? Baguette. Brioches. Pastries with pistachio, vanilla, forrest fruits. Fresh bagels. Bread slice in four types. Many bread buns. Selection of cheese and some fruits alongside. Erzincan Tulum cheese, Gouda cheese. Turkey and beef ham. Three options of labneh balls. Butter and flower honey in the middle. Plain paratha. A dish called sambat. Mini sausages. More cooked dishes such as barley, baked beans. Hash browns and foul medames. Cheese borek. At the egg station, the chefs will cook your eggs any style you like. Eggs looking good. Boiled eggs. Menemen. Scrambled eggs. Orange, watermelon, carrot and apple juice. A mix of pickled and fresh vegetable cuts. Also grilled peppers salad. Milk. Granola and fruits yogurt. Cashew nuts and rice krisples. Salted peanuts and flakes. More healthy choices. Mini burgers with cheese. And with beef ham. Selection of yogurts.

Fresh fruits are in large quantities. Dragon fruit and pineapple. Grapes, mango. Peaches, pears, apples, plums, bananas etc. Ordered an iced americano. Though it is a little sour so I added a little caramel syrup. I got a poached egg, some fresh salad with olives, beef burger. Heinz ketchup. Like it. I only wanted one bread bun… but they all looked too good so I’m going for two! Croissants are hot. American-type breakfast. Went with the mango yogurt. Some sweets with maple syrup and chocolate. Fruits. Nice breakfast overall. So Rixos Marina has a total of three outdoor pools. Two of them have their own pool bar. This one is the family pool and is very big. Interesting design. As you can see, it’s popular with kids. They also organize aqua gym sessions. On the other side, there is another family pool. All three pools are open from 7 am till sunset (around 6:00–7:00 pm, depending on the season). There are also some interesting hydro-massage beds built right into the pool. Hmm, right in time for the aqua gym! Actually, it’s aqua boxing. Amazing. I’m getting hungry just watching all this workout. I believe there are limited spots. Since we’re heading out soon to visit a popular attraction in Abu Dhabi, we’ve decided to have a lunch at the hotel. We’ll share something at the poolside restaurant, People’s. The view is beautiful. Sandwiches and wraps look promising. We can even see our room from down here. It’s somewhere in the middle, one with balcony. The symmetry, height, use of glass and pink tones make it look both luxurious and iconic. Crispy chicken wrap with french fries. Interior of the wrap is filled with meat and some vegetables. It’s an 8.5. Ice-cream spot. They offer complimentary ice cream for all guests on the all-inclusive package. Conboo. Stopped by the pool to enjoy it. Simple and tasty. The all-inclusive resort has an outdoor gym area right by the beach. Entrance is this way, on the left. There are activities such as yoga, CrossFit, boxing, pilates, etc. It’s also open all day long for any personal trainings. Or a game of ping pong. Families will love the kids’ pool and the small splash area. All of them are surrounded by sunbeds and palm trees. And it is plenty of space to play. The Graze & Go stand offers quick snacks and drinks. Quesadilla. Popcorn. Everything is included in the stay. The kids club offers lots of fun activities for children. I’ll check out the indoor area tomorrow morning. This afternoon, we’re visiting a popular tourist attraction here in Abu Dhabi. We’ll go to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, world’s biggest aquarium. SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is located on Yas Island, just 30 minutes from Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi. It opened in May 2023, with a staggering budget of 1.2 billion USD. This place covers 183,000 square meters and it’s all indoors and air-conditioned. SeaWorld features eight themed zones and it’s home to over 68,000 marine animals and 100+ species. Ticket prices are 375 AED per person, about 100 USD. It’s the first and only SeaWorld outside the United States. Full park map with the zones. We begin in One Ocean, the heart of the park. Wow!! This is where incredible 360-degree shows play all day long. There’s a giant glass sphere at the center and it changes colors, lights and even mood. There is the Polar Ocean with penguins, otters, arctic fox. Rocky Point with sea lions. Tropical ocean, home to flamingos, dolphins, parrots etc. Endless Ocean where we will see world’s largest multi-species aquarium. Microocean that is more for family and kids. And Abu Dhabi Ocean, from where we came. We’ll start with the Polar area. We are supposed to see penguins, sea otters, sea lions, walruses etc. Penguins time. First time that I see a real penguin. It’s freezing cold in here, feeling -20°C. Walrus is definitely one of the stars of the Polar Ocean realm. Both male and female walruses have long ivory tusks, which can grow up to 1 meter (3 feet) long. Sea otters are located here, in a separate aquarium. I see one. Did you know sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart? Next on the list, Tropical Ocean which resembles island life, like a tropical coastline. Tropical Ocean is most known for the dolphins show, coral reefs, flamingos, macaws and the Manta coaster. First we see flamingos. Flamingos aren’t born pink, they are actually gray or white when they hatch. Heading to see the dolphin show which will start in a few seconds. Entry is free. Show has started. Tropical Amphitheater can host up to 1,400 guests at a time. Apart from dolphin shows, there are also sea lion shows hosted here. Enjoy! Oh wow they are making quite a few splashes 🙂 Endless Ocean, the most popular zone at SeaWorld. Endless Ocean is home to over 68,000 marine animals. They are hammerhead sharks, easily recognized by their unique flattened heads that resemble a hammer. Head toward the Observation Deck. This massive tank that we’ll see in a few seconds holds 25 million liters of water. Wow, is this real?! Tank’s facade is designed with massive, panoramic glass windows. There are nine different shark species. This includes sand tiger sharks, zebra sharks or grey reef shark. Fish banks. Wide variety of rays. It’s a towering glass panel that provides a vertical view from top to bottom. The vertical window is called “Endless Vista” and measures 20 meters in heigth. It’s like a city in there. So beautiful and calming. Enter the Ocean shelf. It feels like you are looking up from inside the ocean. I could stare at this all day long and never get bored. Scary teeth. It’s a day octopus. They are very smart creatures. A day octopus lives only a year and a half. Just in time to watch the show from One Ocean. It will be a documentary. Overall, the experience was definitely one of my favourites from our Abu Dhabi itinerary. Really worth the visit. By the way, if you’d like to see the full tour from SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, you can find it on our channel. Now, back to the hotel. It’s almost sunset and the building is glowing in a soft powder pink. We’ll go get ready for our dinner at 8 pm. Tonight, we’re dining at Isla restaurant located next to the beach. This is where both a la carte restaurants are located. Isla serves Asian cuisine and has a very intimate, peaceful vibe. You can already hear the waves in the distance. Bar on the right. Setting is modern and the air smells like the ocean. We’ll stay on the terrace. Here is more quiet. Our table for tonight. If we turn around, the view is magical. Apparently, all the menus here are fully digital. Dinner setup is relaxed and includes chopsticks. I ordered a glass of white wine. It’s a little sweet and fruity. From here we can see all the elevators going up and down the building, glowing like little capsules of light. For starter, I ordered a grilled shrimp and avocado salad. It also contains some mango cubes. Since the dishes are quite small, we’ll share everything. I always love sharing food. Crispy chicken tenders. Tacos has melted cheese on top. Really missed Pad Thai, my favourite dish from Thailand. Peanut sauce on the side. I’m not usually a big fan of tacos, but this one looks surprisingly good. It is made just like in Thailand. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the chef is actually from there. Chicken is soft. Dip them in some cheese sauce and it’s the perfect combo. For dessert, strawberry meringue. It has almond flakes on top. The ice cream is incredibly creamy. Meringue is a little hard. Simple but tasty dish. We also tried the creme brulee with a blueberry jam crust. Doesn’t have the most beautiful plating but I’m sure it’s delicious. Nice color inside. Dinner was a really lovely experience. The staff, atmosphere, the food.. Now, back to the room to rest after a long and nice day. My favorite a la carte was the Italian restaurant. Morning has come. I’m going to check out the view from the balcony. Mornings are still pleasant but later in the day it can get really hot, around 40°C. From up here, you can see the deep blue waters of the Arabian Gulf. The Marina area is quieter than the rest of the city because it’s right by the water. This time, we’ll try the breakfast from Terra Mare. First, we’ll check out the buffet tables. Bread and butter. Muffins and donuts. More bread. Some pastries, these are different from the ones at Turquoise. Cupcakes. Plain bagels and three types of buns. Croissant, pain au chocolat and pogaca. Fruits such as papaya, melon, watermelon. Traditional Arabic dips like haydari, mountabel. Spicy onion. Zucchini yogurt, hummus. In the corner, there are some jams, honey and maple syrup. There are four types of milk next to the cereals. Flakes, granola, rice puffs. Cooked dishes. Rosemary potatoes. Traditional Indian food. Sautéed mushroom and beans. Borek is a traditional pastry from Turkey. Fresh crepes and pancakes, made on the spot. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds, almond flakes. Raisins, Nutella, compote and nuts. Each type of olive has its name written next to it. There’s a station where you can prepare your own Eggs Benedict. Also guacamole. Pre-made salads. Buratta, caesar, quinoa. Potato salad. Omelette. They have the same juices we saw yesterday. There’s a terrace where you can sit and dine during meals. It’s more spacious and peaceful than the indoor area but way hotter. Small buffet with fruits, jams. Donuts with sugar. Found a nice table. Cutlery is from “Athena” brand. Shaken espresso with caramel. It has three coffee beans on top and a lot of foam. It got unbearably hot so we decided to go move inside. I put together my own eggs benedict. Though the poached egg is a little overcooked for my taste. Caesar salad with some more ingredients added. The egg white omelette comes with mushrooms, avocado, and hash browns on the side. It’s airy and tastes literally like a cloud. Wanted to try the yellow bread. It’s sweet and it has raisins inside. Fruit platter and cupcake. Both breakfasts were good, but I personally prefer Turquoise because it has a bigger food selection. The setting is more beautiful here though. This is the corridor that leads to the spa and gym area. Along the way, there are some shops that sell jewellery and accessories. They’re located in the other tower of the hotel. First, we’ll see the spa. Spa is branded as “Naturelife is good”. Reception desk. Arabic perfumes and oils are available for testing. Sun care products. Welcome drink is lemonade. You can check all the packages and prices on the iPad. Cabana by the beach massage is 1220 AED, around 330 USD per person. We’ll take a look at a couple massage room. It’s designed for two, with soft lighting, calming music and a peaceful atmosphere. Massage beds are beautifully arranged. You can choose your own scented oil from the selection on top. It’s a big jacuzzi. The room even has its own private sauna. It’s spacious enough to fit up to six people. Hot stones have a pleasant smell. There’s more to see here. The hammam area. It’s clearly very luxurious and elegant. Hammam is originally from the Ottoman Empire, with deep cultural roots in Turkey. The rooftop is also made of marble. Towels are super soft. Soaps and scrubs are placed on the marble counter in the center. Ladies room and lounge area. Beautiful decor and delicate ornaments. Women lounge. Magazines and water are placed on all tables. Lockers are available. Beauty counter. Facilities such as dyson hairdryer. One more sauna in here. This is not private. A room where we can take a relaxing bath. There are a few heated beds. The jacuzzi is spacious and can fit many people. Temperature is hot. The heated beds are supposed to keep your body relaxed and comfortable. Wow, amazing feeling. Another hammam. This one is smaller and features a star-lit ceiling. Next stop on the list is the Exclusive sports club. It’s located downstairs. This is the gym at Rixos Marina. It’s so spacious for a hotel gym. There are plenty of machines, including ones from Technogym and Life Fitness. You’ll also find dumbbells, balance balls and more. They offer free sports drinks and flavored water. Rixi kids club. When we enter, the place is like a rainbow. There are two separate rooms. One for little kids and one for teenagers. A playing area with balls and a slide. Mini tables and games here and there. Entering the video games zone. There’s a climbing wall you can try out. Pac-man, Atari 50, Turbo, etc. TV. Video games. Basketball and tennis court. The private sessions should be booked in advance though. They are very well maintained. Our two-night stay at Rixos Marina has come to an end. The hotel was absolutely stunning. For an all-inclusive resort, I honestly didn’t expect it to be this luxurious. Really exceeded my expectations. Hope you liked it. Thank you for your watching!
