Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort

Where do I start. This Abu Dhabi jewel is made of dreams come true. My adult children and I have just returned after a two vacation over Christmas, New Year. This is my second visit to this almost secret gem of a hotel. I was here in August when temperatures were in the 50's (if you like the heat then do go visit). This time as a Christmas gift I arrived with my three grown up shildren. We were spoilt from the moment we walked through those welcoming doors. The Christmas decor was exceptionally chic. The New Year's Eve banquet 'The best I have ever attended', I have celebrated NYE all over the world from the Maldives to NYC yet here was hands down the best. The plushness of this hotel is screaming luxury. Every whim is taken care of. The executive suite (I requested the same room I had in August). Everything you need is here from hairdryer, iron, mini bar, toiletries, fresh linen & towels and a super king bed that is just like heaven in a hug. The scenery is something from a dream. Beautiful white sands and clear waters very well maintained beach or cove I should say. The pool and pool bar with scrumptious food and cocktails really does deliver all you need for thos lazy days. Food, if you want global authentic food made to michelin star standard then trust me, you will receive it. Every meal time was a spread fit for a king or should I say Sheik. The decadence of this tucked away serene, tranquil paradise is everything a 6 star hotel offers you eventhough this beauty is rated 5. You are spolit from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. If you want a real vacation with no phones to disturb your peace this is the place (WIFI amazing here). If you do wish to get away to visit places I would recommend car hire. Alas if you want to recharge & chillaxe then people this is the one for you. Friendly faces greeted you on every level, from a team that are beyond happy in their roles. Don't take my word for it, book and see for yourself. Thank you's to: Mr Pravin (the bald guy) for everything. Mr Victor McCardo (customer services you are a star). Concierge: Retheesh, Tamer, Kushal & Ajay Pool: Wathsara (Whatsapp), Ali, Captain & Team. Chefs: Teesen, Vishal, Mahaja, Sharifa, Freda, Shageesha (my waistline has grown thanks to your delicious & expert culinary skills). Service: Juliet, Nisha, Kwee & team. House Band Soteria: Wayne, Jennifer & Ana 'thank you for the music' To everyone else 'HUGE THANK YOU FOR GIVING US LIFELONG MEMORIES' SEE YOU ALL IN AUGUST XX

I have been using this hotel for over 10 years now and must say that the service and accommodation are excellent in every respect. The staff is professional, friendly and very helpful. I would particularly like to highlight the buffet which really leaves nothing to be desired. The service in the restaurant as well as at the bar is excellent. There is ample parking, a beautiful private beach, an excellent pool and everything surrounded by a beautiful park. It is always a pleasure to come back here

I’ve never written a review before as I’ve never particularly felt so cared for by a resort. I visited the Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort for two weeks along with my mum, brother, sister and my step dad. My mum and step dad came here 16 weeks before we did and my mum always brought us up to never visit the same place twice because of how big the world is. But when she came here 16 weeks prior for her honeymoon she said the only thing missing was her kids. So, in order to make it perfect she set up another chance to come here with me and my siblings coming with and I must say it was absolutely phenomenal. There was nothing negative about this resort. The staff really bring it higher. Wathsara (whatsapp), Sharifah, Juliet, Vishal, Freda, Nisha, Retheesh, Kwee and I won’t keep going because the list will go on forever. But they were all just amazing and brought a lovely feel to the atmosphere. Every corner I turned I was giving a smiling and receiving one bigger. I came on this holiday with a family of 5 but left with a family of infinity. I am hopefully coming back in August to see my family again! It was a perfect holiday.

After several vacations in the Emirates, we decided on the Hotel Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort for a relaxing vacation. If you want the hustle and bustle, you can go to Abu Dhabi or better to Dubai. And we didn't regret this decision. We received a very friendly welcome and were looked after very pleasantly for 14 days without exception. Here are some representatives of the great, highly motivated team: the reception team who responded within minutes, Saurav who kept our room extremely clean, Freda, Sharafi and Sagesha who worked magic in the kitchen, Nisha, Lakshani and Whatsara who kept us hydrated and the many others who keep this wonderful facility running at this high level. Please don't change a winning team like this! The rooms need some renovation but not the beds and the pillows, they are fantastic!

It’s a personal experience for me. I was here during Christmas weekend in 2024 and new years night in 2019. I can only say that if you need to go to a place away from the hype and enjoy peace and quiet - come to jebel dhanna resort by Danat. You will arrive in your car and stay directly in front of your villa.
