Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

The experience we get from Anantara Desert island spa and resort was absolutely amazing! Shoutout to the Staffs who gave us a comfortable stay in the resort. Thank you Daniel from SA for the services and Dennis from the Philippines helping us to get a ride back to Dubai since our driver was giving poor services. Thank you Anantara for the wonderful memories you all have given us!

Very nice place, I sceneic and picturesque environment..and very nice place to relax few days in the lap of mother nature. A wonderful hospitality, the guest service started right from the Jetty, staff were instantly available to recieve us and unload and take care of our baggage all the way The hotel had well stocked restaurant and bars at different locations, to relax and enjoy food and drinks in the middle of nature..very warm hospitable staff . The linens were very clean and in plenty, with liberal supply of toiletries and kits. They provided free transport to go to different properties of hotel, the wild animal safari was too good, all animals looked healthy and beautiful. The New Year Eve party was most lavish and very well organized painstakingly.. The prices of food and drinks seemed to be very reasonable and good portions. I agree some renovation of beach was going on,, but it is necessary to prevent erosion, and since I am not pool lover, frankly it didn't bother me much . There were some WI Fi signal strength issues, WhatsApp was working, but for video call back home, I had to use my personal data . But ok,, minor issues. Overall, I wanted to rest in a quite nature world few days, and I got what I needed and came for .. Overall , I feel a wonderful experience, to spend few days away from city life, in mid of nature...no shopping is available, so come prepared with walking shoes, track suites, and swimming costumes if you are pool lover..

A very disappointing experience unfortunately. Arrived at the hotel to realise there are major works being carried out in the beach by the swimming pool, so noisy ! Our room should have had a terrace with a sea view but was completely covered by trees. On the terrace there were two sun loungers but no table and chairs so you couldn’t actually sit there. We booked our return boat before we arrived here to ensure we got on the one we wanted only to be called the night before to offer us a boat three hours earlier or three ours later, so had to argue to get on the correct sailing. We booked a table for two outside at the Savanna restaurant and when we arrived they had a table for 6 inside reserved for us, had to argue again to be sat where we had booked. This morning everything that should have been hot at breakfast was stone cold. Overall a very disappointing experience, unfortunately I could not recommend anyone to stay here. Most definitely not a 5 star hotel.

If you would like to escape from the city's hustle and bustle this is the best place to be. People's hospitality will touch you. Perfect getaway for the family and also as couple.

Team was very hospitable and well trained to.offer the best service and most importantly very polite .
