  A perfect Getaway

  A very perfect getaway to enjoy with your partner and family. The rooms are clean and the place is magical. I highly recommend the safari activity that takes you around the beautiful sights in the island surrounded by the animals roaming freely. I also recommend to try Savana restaurant where it has the African vibes. The food was great. And thanks to mr. Kuntal from the reception who explained ev… Read moreA very perfect getaway to enjoy with your partner and family. The rooms are clean and the place is magical.

  Disappointment

  I expected more from the Anantara hotel. Our room was damp smelling mold. The breakfast was ok but not too much option. For dinner we visited the restaurant and this was a horrible full of smoke, the waiter's made a lot of mistake and they weren't so kind. The good thinks was the safari we could see a lot of animals and the driver Jonathan was very helpful.The beach was very clean and cristal wate… Read moreI expected more from the Anantara hotel.

  Mixed feeling - not what it used to be…

  The location is quite unique (island) , the staff is very nice. The F&B offer is extremely expensive for what it is... a shawarma for 130 aed? the shrimp tacos at more than 100 aed was pretty much tasteless. A Shicha for 160aed.... chicken burger for more than 100 aed and was also nothing wow... This is my 3rd stay in this property and I can see that no maintenance has been done for a long tim… Read moreThe location is quite unique (island) , the staff is very nice.

  Didn't meet my expectation

  The hotel did not meet the level of luxury expected for the nightly rate charged. The refrigerator was not functioning, and several light bulbs required replacement.

Additionally, the food quality at both Palm and Al… Read moreThe hotel did not meet the level of luxury expected for the nightly rate charged.
