Yas Centro Island Rotana Review - 3 Days and 2 Nights Quick Review

Rise Up! 3 is the lucky number!

Where to go?

I opted to request 3 days compensatory off, and luckily it got approved.

Now, where to go? Yas Waterworld?  Ferrari World? Okay! Got it.

But wait, What about accommodation for 2 nights?

Hmmm.. Anyway, enough with the intro. I am back again for another hotel review so without further ado. Here is my Review of Yas Centro Rotana.

Centro Yas Island by Rotana

I got the chance to stay in one of the leading hotel chains in the region. A leading hotel management company within the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey.

This is the Rotana Hotel. I stayed at one of their best 3-star hotel, located on Yas Island.

This is the Centro Yas Island. It is a modern, stylish, affordable business hotel, adjoining Yas Island Rotana and providing guests access to deluxe facilities. The hotel is conveniently located on the spectacular Yas Island, minutes away from the Formula 1 Race Track, The Links Golf Course, Yas Southern Marina, and the all-new Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

Reservations

Reservations and booking were made possible through Booking.com, check out their latest offers by visiting this link.

Hotel Details

This upscale, contemporary hotel has mirror accent walls and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Hotel has a capacious lobby where guests can rest while waiting for someone. Or just admire the contemporary design.

Lobby 

Friendly front desk personnel will greet you upon checking in.

I am very particular about the ambiance of each hotel, especially the lobby itself. I checked in to 3 Rotana hotels and so far, they have the same aura, distinct hue, and contrast of the lobbies which is very comfortable to the human eye. Still confused? Think about using your phone and activating the f.lux effect.

Hallway

Painted canvasses are carefully hung in between the door rooms outside the hallway. The hallway is narrow however they decided to use some accented, hue, and vivid carpet so that it would look more spacious.

Secure Card

The room access card is intended only for the room itself (of course) and for the floor which you were assigned. So folks, if you want to sneak out to a different floor level, then you have no chance 😉

Room Detail

Centro Room- A Queen Bed is the room that I chose (One full Bed) and it can fit 2 adults plus a child. The room is overlooking the swimming pull and I am located on the 5th floor.

The room is okay, no fancy things can be found here, except for the electric kettle, condiments, fridge, additional pillows, hangers, secure vault, and linens. 

For room service, the food menu is available as well which they kept in one small filer and a hotel magazine for a change.

A small round table,  a chair, and a long-standing lamp are available.

An LED cable TV is available too. The room is very clean, dust free. I am very sensitive to dust, so luckily, I didn't sneeze at all.

A huge long table facing the front of the queen bed is accessible. Another trick design for each of the rooms so that it will look more capacious is the fact that the room is a bit small yet they managed it to be as it is.

On my second night of stay, I found that the AC System was not working properly. And I am sweating.

It was 3AM and the AC was on fan mode, though I didn't touch the settings. Weird...

The fire exit route chart at the back door is visible as well.

Food Trippin'

Breakfast Buffet

Plenty of food choices, I highly recommend their sausage. It's very delicious. Coffee is a part of my breakfast routine, so a coffee machine is available. I choose cappuccino 😁

Dinner Buffet

A big shout out to Ramella Bedua for providing the best dinner buffet that I had!

I got the chance to eat at C Choice by Rotana courtesy of Ramella. "C.Choice" is located just the opposite side of Centro Rotana which is another hotel managed by Rotana.

The food was superb,  A variety of food to choose from, from Arabic to *not so sure cuisine 😝, soups, desserts, juices, salads, and more.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took inside the C Choice restaurant...

I was not able to take a picture of the food as a lot of guests are choosing some food and it might be uncomfortable for them.

And a few more pictures within the vicinity of Yas Rotana...

Verdict

Pros:

So if you prefer to stay in an accommodation which is accessible to Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World, Warner Brothers Studio and Yas Mall. This is the best hotel that you can stay with. A free shuttle bus will drop you off at some of the popular spots within Yas Island.

Friendly hotel staff will accommodate you at any time of the day. They wear a smile and greet you anytime whenever you meet them. Awesome!

Free car valet service is available too!

Cons: 

So far, Just the AC. Acting weird. lol 😂

Thanks for reading my quick review of this hotel and see you again :)
