Flawless service

We had two Etihad flights to Male via Abu Dhabi from Heathrow. Everything was on time and the service was excellent.
We last saw our luggage at Heathrow at check in and didn’t see it again until Male. Superb. No issues both ways.
Will definitely fly with Etihad again.
Thank you

Holiday was lovely

Holiday was lovely - but I felt the staff on the emirates flights were rude and miserable, and very unhelpful. We wanted to upgrade asked 3/4 times and they never came back to us.

Expedia themselves were excellent. However the whole experience was not! When I book and pay extra for a certain seat on the plane, I do not expect people who have not paid that extra amount to just be allowed to swap to the more expensive seats. Transfers from hotel to were very good, on time and comfortable. 1st hotel excellent service, restaurants a bit limited, a lot of stains on the mattress! 2nd hotel was beautiful as was the beach, however although I understand there will be children at the hotel, I do expect some thought for people without children. There was little control over badly behaved children in public areas. Was given incorrect bed allocation in room however this was resolved after paying a further £560! Overall the holiday was enjoyable. Staff excellent with one exception!

Second visit to Rixos

Returned to the Rixos Abu Dhabi after a fantastic first stay although it seemed to have lost its spark. The isla bar we enjoyed last visit was closed with the only alternative for a pre/post dinner drink being the antidote, which was fine but freezing and full of smokers. I didn’t like to hang around the buffet restaurant for too long as it was chaos with kids roaming free & a queue for others waiting on tables. The Hashi restaurant was stunning!! Highly recommend, actually on par with Zuma which we paid a small fortune for. One thing which really set the hotel back was a lack of orientation at check in. I had to ask for a list of amenities & restaurants opening times/ cuisine. We often saw pool exercise, heard there was entertainment the previous night etc without knowing any of this was happening. We also saw floating sound bath being set up but were told it was fully booked - I didn’t know how anyone was seeing this on a timetable let alone how to book it. I think more can be done here to make for a wholesome stay, especially when it’s too hot to venture far and when booking all inclusive you expect some activities or entertainment. Etihad holidays in general are also a bit disorganised which I remember from last time - having to request a link to pay for our holiday, requesting information, requesting details about transfers etc. whilst they were extremely quick in responding, it should be automated.

Transfers included which was great.

Booking experience was good apart from not being able to use the Autumn offer as it kept saying I’d already used it. Couldn’t contact customer services so went ahead and booked a slightly cheaper room only to get a phone call as soon as we had booked which seemed strange. Very pleased with the transfers that were included and the messages from the rep . Hotels great and location was knows as been there before.

Great holiday experience with Etihad Holidays

Booked through Etihad Holidays, I had an amazing relaxing few days on Yas Island and Etihad Holidays were great!
Booking was super easy with a great choice of options. Everything went smoothly from landing, meeting the rep through to return. As a solo female traveller the free airport to hotel transfer and vice versa appealed to me and the drivers were lovely. My rep messaged me via WhatsApp offering help with organising any trips etc All in all I had a great experience with Etihad Holidays and would definitely use them again and recommend them.
