Top 5-Star Hotels in Al Dhafra

I stayed this resort at 2016, there are many good memories and fun times, we joined activities each as falcon show, dune drive, which no places and local tours can provide the good experience like this. So I book again for my 2nd visit. However hotels was closed because of some reasons. At the beginning we disappointed. Hotels finally provided another resort for us in Sir Yas Island, the experience there are also great! That's give my family a memorable moments. Thanks for kind arrangement Anantara team!

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..

The Anatara Desert Hotel in Abu Dhabi, which was originally booked, was temporarily requisitioned by the royal family and forced me to cancel the order. Fortunately, Ctrip subsidized me, I found Anantara on the island of Sabania, the result is worthwhile, almost the same as the desert hotel, feeling playability or Sabania high!

The room decoration is still very good~very satisfied. It is African style but the air conditioning is strong and the animals are very welcoming~you can take a bath in the room and feed the little peacock🦚 and the little deer🦌. I experienced the facilities of the other two hotels, and both swimming pools are very good! It’s so fun to play in the water~I booked a 6.30de animal viewing trip the next day, which is very worthwhile! It’s not too hot, the wind is very strong and very comfortable, including breakfast, everything is perfect! This hotel interprets the relationship between man and nature~cool😎

It is a quiet resort resort. Many office workers and family vacationers come here. Alcohol and food can be purchased nearby. There is a swimming pool. The beach is shallow, so it is good for children to play.

What a beautiful and serene spot to be secluded with your loved ones. An absolute delight in the middle of the western region of UAE, with an excellent high speed road if you are coming all the way from Dubai. Gas it up all the way to 160kmph to reach this milestone in less than three hours and have a delightful stay. The pool and the view is absolutely commendable in this oasis. The hotel interiors and entrance are quite royal and Arabic taking you back instantly out of a Hollywood movie's stay at a desert resort. The people working here are all super nice and very hospitable. Shout out to Raja Gopal, Shubash, Liya, Shweta, Sangam and the front desk gentleman. Thanks to the frontdesk for a beautiful room upgrade to the oasis pool view. Make sure to enjoy quad biking and happy hour by the pool to beat the heat. The aspect that can improve is the room service and the operators answering the phones as no one picked up our calls from the room or elsewhere. I'd think it's a busy schedule so I'll let that go. Overall, loved my Eid stay and would definitely return.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. We were upgraded to a Seaview room which we really appreciated. However, I can't say it's exactly 5 stars yet, as someone who has been to five star hotels across 4 countries, there are certain stuff missing such a complimentary robes and slippers, toothbrushes etc, but of course the hotel is still fairly new and will probably improve over time. Cons during our stay: -There was construction there and the exits to the beach were closed. - There wasn't any buffet dinner the 1st few nights, they kept pushing out the time for dinner as they were hosting a soccer team and the buffet was planned accordingly to their timing, usually past 9.30pm which was too late. - The lunch and dinner menu is still fairly small. - The soccer team (young guys) were quite noisy at early parts of the morning in the outside breakfast area which was just outside our window. - The buffet dinner on Christmas day was absolutely small. - No bathtub in room and could not see which room had a tub listed online as it just mentioned '' shower or tub''. - Gym is extremely small. Pros: -Beautiful sea view. - Located in a Quiet and peaceful environment. - Lulu supermarket located just outside the hotel which makes it convenient. - Rooms had mini kitchen with cutlery and pots etc, washing machine and microwave, fridge etc, which was nice. - House keeping was available on request at any time. - House keeping staff were very friendly. - Security guard was very helpful and friendly. - We could have a small barbecue on the beach at late hours of the night. - Plenty parking. - Sea view room had a balcony. - Hotel provided a mini needle and cotton set which I found unusual and cute, definitely not something I've seen at other hotels. Overall the place has an amazing view, and I'm sure will improve as they develop and get more tourists. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others.

We are thrilled to share our unforgettable experience at Bab Al Nojoum Bateen Liwa. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond, welcoming us with warmth and genuine hospitality. Our One Bedroom Villa (villa 14) was impeccably prepared, ensuring complete privacy, just as we requested. During our stay on a half-board basis, we were treated to some of the most delectable meals we've ever had, thanks to the talented Chef Wajdi. Each breakfast and dinner was a culinary delight, showcasing an array of flavors that truly elevated our experience. The entire team was always ready to assist, whether it was bringing a buggy car or keeping our private pool pristine. The villa itself was a sanctuary of comfort, featuring the most sumptuous mattress and pillows that guaranteed a restful night's sleep. What makes this place truly special is the unique opportunity to be completely isolated in the heart of the desert, enjoying our own private pool and stunning surroundings. It's a perfect blend of luxury and tranquility. We can't wait to return to this magical destination again and again. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff, whose dedication and warmth made our stay truly special. We want to extend a special shout-out to the unsung heroes—the pool cleaners—whose meticulous attention ensured our oasis was always pristine. A special thank you to Chef Wajdi and his team for crafting an extraordinary culinary experience that delighted our taste buds. You all played a pivotal role in making our stay unforgettable, and we are truly grateful for the memories created here!

They surprised us with fruit platter, cake and romantic arrangement in our room. The room is very comfy, peaceful and relaxing place away from the city, very accommodating staff especially Chethan, Abdelsamia, Eshe, Saleh, the man from the quadbiking, and the 2 girls in the reception. Mr Chethan - the sous chef gave us fruit platter during breakfast and dinner to celebrate the special day. The water in pool area is refreshing - not so cold & not so warm. We did some activities like soft archery and quadbiking including in our booking.
