Reviews for Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

Exceptional and Memorable

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Exceptional stay with top notch hospitality. The staff was extremely courteous and hospitable specially Harish and Sahan, both were extremely cordial and went above and beyond to facilitate us. Jonhatan made our Safri ride informative n engaging. Food options were limited and overpriced. The only improvement that needs to be made is regarding variation in menu and prices need to be a bit more affordable.

A SHORT BUT LOVELY STAY

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

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.

Experience the nature

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

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