Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

It was a wonderful experience to drive on the safari in this beautiful location. Hotel amenities was good.

Our stay at Anantara Desert Islands Resort was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The resort strikes the perfect balance between nature and luxury, offering peace, comfort, and outstanding service. A special thank you to Retona for her kindness and attentiveness throughout our stay. Her genuine care and attention to detail made a big difference and added a personal touch to our experience. Though we didn’t get a chance to do the wildlife safari this time, it’s at the top of our list for our next visit — we’ve heard so many great things about it! The room was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. The dining experience was also a highlight, with fresh, delicious meals and great service. Can’t wait to return to this slice of paradise — highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in a truly unique setting!

We recently visited Sir Bani Yas Island with our 7-year-old son, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever had. Not only did our son absolutely love the safari — spotting giraffes, cheetahs, and gazelles with wide-eyed excitement — but my wife and I were also celebrating our birthdays during the trip, which made it even more special. The resort staff went out of their way to make us feel celebrated, and the peaceful, natural surroundings were the perfect setting to relax, reconnect, and enjoy some quality family time. The guides were fantastic with kids and full of knowledge, answering all our son’s curious questions with such warmth and enthusiasm. This wasn’t just a vacation — it was a collection of special moments we’ll never forget. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone looking to celebrate life in a truly unique place.

Complete chaos in the hotel. Short staffed. Poor service. Bad communication and poor management. You request for water and gets delivered after 3 hours with 5 follow up. We order 3 dishes and only 2 get delivered. In-room dining is below average. Had specifically requested for extra bed at the time of booking, it was provided for one night and next night they say you did not reserve it.

we just came back from Anantara Desert Islands, we were before and hoped on same experience, however it all drastically changed: - we got a room which is really very old, some strange smell, the shower was not working properly, i don't know why but maybe we were given the worst rooms 304 and 303 - absolutely disaster in service, we asked for the dental kit in the beginning and never got one!! - despite asking to clean our room while we were away, the cleaning guy told us he is going for the lunch, we came back by 3 pm, and he still didn't start - to get ice you need to wait about 40 mins, and they started charges for it (15 AED) - the room we booked inclusive of the child, doesn't have additional bed - so need to pay 220 per night in addition, otherwise the child have to sleep with you in the same bed - breakfast variety is okay - tried buffet for dinner - absolute no! no good choices for food - if you want to go to Italian restaurant in neighbor hotel - you cannot, because its only for the guests for Al Yamm villas - beverages are overpriced - at the time of arrival we wait about half an hour to get our luggage my recommendation to the hotel - make some maintenance, your rooms are really old, even the doors are scratched from outside! not sure i will comeback
