I don’t know how to start this review but this place is breathtaking, the hotel is so amazing the service was great , the mangroves view is just heartwarming and beautiful, kayaking between mangroves is beautiful i highly recommended it overall good experience will repeat it soon hopefully.

Overall a very Average hotel. Pros: > Large rooms > Good views of the Mangroves > AC throughout the hotel > decent size Pool > Good location if you have a hire car > Free parking > fresh cooked food was good, if ordered by the pool deck menu. Cons: > Food is the same nearly every day. There is variety, but overall over 4 days the same food was served. > the Buffet was always cold, even when going first thing in the morning, or first thing in the evening. > the staff are not aligned with each other meaning you get different information from different people, this is quite confusing. The Rooms are a good size, but the food and miscommunication means the overall experience is not worth 5 stars. I would not choose to stay here again.

Beautiful hotel in a great location by the mangroves. My room and hotel area were all very clean and comfortable. The staff is amazing - very professional and welcoming. I loved the pool area, it was stunning with plenty of sun beds and cabanas to use. The staff here were very attentive, and I appreciated the sustainability aspect with the hotel providing eco bottles for water rather than plastic. The food was ok. Room service could be slightly better for the price they were charging. The only downside I had was that they didn’t cater to solo travellers. They had spa offers in the app advertised as 50% off. But when I tried to book in a treatment they only said they could book me in if I was in a couple at BOGOF instead. Likewise, the spa staff advertising services at the pool said there were special offers on hammam, but once again not for solo guests when I tried to book this with the spa too. They have deals on groupon for the spa that work out far cheaper. Lastly, the happy hour at the pool bar was only for couples. It was BOGOF but I was only allowed the one drink. Very strange. Apart from the issue with being a solo traveller, I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend this hotel for a stay in Abu Dhabi, it’s a very relaxing hotel and easy and cheap to get a cab in to the city.

We only stayed one night at the Anantara as part of a staycation. The booking process had a slight hitch in the payment, but the room and rate were held for us anyway. We booked dinner, bed and breakfast which was amazing value. The food was excellent - the buffet had an amazing selection at both meals and we were really impressed by the quality and variety. The fitness centre and health suite is very well equipped and the pool area outside is nice with a great view of the mangroves. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and were great about us extending our checkout by an hour to allow us to take a kayak tour of the mangroves whilst we were there. The room was exceptional - one of the nicest we've stayed in. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the room was so quiet! We'll definitely be coming back here.

Booked three rooms for my family and stayed for five nights. Rooms and toilets are spacious and clean. Check in was smooth, had to change my rooms as it was near by kids where much noise was there. Mr. Aditya was of great help and support to accommodate my request immediately and changed the room. Breakfast was having many varieties. Location is excellent and view is amazing with the mangrove. Definitely recommended with mangrove view. Parking is always available either by valet parking or by yourself.
