Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

We had a great experience with Thai Massage and facial treatment. Thanks to Nantakam and Amrita for wonderful service. The price model on the other hand is quite strict, and you should be aware that there isn’t possible to take advantage of the all inclusive discount, and use the spa credit at the same time.

This was an absolute nightmare of a trip. After a more than three-hour drive from Dubai, followed by a boat ride and a bus transfer, we finally arrived - only to be confronted with one of the worst hotels imaginable. Almost four hours drive for what? A run-down, outdated resort with shockingly poor service. We were told there would be minor construction work. This was a blatant lie. The entire beach access was blocked off, the pool - one of the main attractions - no longer had a view of the beach, and the atmosphere was completely ruined by construction barriers. The so-called “duty manager” Georges could not attend to our needs in the slightest and showed a complete lack of professionalism and customer friendliness. The rooms? Old, worn and absolutely not worth the price. The entire hotel looks neglected and is far from the luxury they advertise. For the exorbitant price, one would expect at least basic standards of hospitality, but even the service was painfully slow and indifferent. I want my money back for this desaster.

Amrita & Nantakan were the therapist today and it was everything perfect. It is 100% sure that I would come back here. The place was cozy and beautiful. Staff in general were polite and kind. The environment created to relax was absolutely good

A very big disappointment, driving more thsn 3 hours from dubai, then taking a boat followed by a bus, almost 4 hours of trip to come to a hotel way way below average, slow service. They told us they have minor construction , but we just reached and found out that the whole beach access is covered and even the pool has no more view to the beach and Georges the duty manager didnt care much about the feedback. Room and hotel are quite old and not worth the cost at all. Staying in dubai and enjoying kite beach and go to the zoo is much much better and way more affordable. Very disappointing hotel a d stuffs They restaurant staff was also going to charge us for the kids! Gladly my wife knew that below 6 are free. They didn’t even bother to ask, one of my kids is 3 years old. Will never come back

We had a family trip to Sir Bani Yas Island. The island and the tranquil ambience are breathtaking. I thought we must try the spa at Anantara as well so we went for 90 mins body massage and had Nantakan as our therapist. The treatment was amazing and relaxing. Absolutely a highlight of this trip in the island.
