Reviews for Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa
A SHORT BUT LOVELY STAY
We stayed at Desert Islands Resort for one night from 11–12 November. Although our stay was short, it was absolutely lovely. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Sasandi, who checked us in and immediately made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast the following morning was excellent, with a great selection. The chefs kept the buffet well stocked and spotless, making for a very pleasant dining experience. We would also like to thank Gerard for driving us between the resorts and back to the ferry terminal. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Great Experience ever
I had a great experience at Anantara, The room are spacious and super clean. From the outside you get a palace view. The staff are friendly, great reception, great meals and lots of guided activities. Tried horse riding for the first time.

Experience the nature
If you want to change from the urban stress, try some days surrounded by a quiet nature. Desert Islands a place to try.

An amazing Experience
We had only 1 night to stay at the hotel and the staff were amazing! Staff were friendly and efficient at all times. They made sure everything is comfortable for us. No waiting time upon check in and during check out. The place was a great get-away if you are looking for some peace away from the city life.
