The hotel landscape is nothing to say, it can only be described as magnificent. The room is full of Arab old money style, high-end retro and classy. There is such a hotel in the desert. During the Spring Festival, it is basically worth the price. Although the various activities in the hotel cost money, they are very meaningful.
The service staff have basic courtesy and literacy, but the only drawback is that there are basically no Arabs in the Arab-style hotel service staff. They are mainly Thai and Indian service staff. There is nothing to complain about, but it does lack some Arab style. In addition, some staff are very enthusiastic and proactive for European and American tourists, but for Chinese tourists, they can only maintain some basic etiquette. Even though my English is not worse than theirs, I do feel ignored, including when I participated in desert hiking, but I still gave enough tips in the end, because the desert is really beautiful and these activities are really meaningful, especially for children.
In addition, there are still many Chinese people staying during the Spring Festival, but it is found that many Chinese tourists only take photos, punch in, and post them on WeChat Moments, but do not really feel the magnificence of the desert, which is a pity. And some tourists will occupy a sand dune for several hours to take pictures, without considering other people who need to take pictures normally. This style is also a bit regrettable.

Although it is a bit far from Dubai and takes a 40-minute boat ride, everything is worth it from the moment we get on the island!
From the moment we arrived at the dock, we were warmly received and taken care of by every staff member. Each of them was smiling, polite, and very nice to the children. The luggage starts from the dock and is sent to your room, so don't worry.
This island is the private island of the former king, and the more than 10,000 animals on it were also bought by the king. It was really great to experience safari at 6:30 in the morning. I couldn't go to Africa for the time being, so I pretended to be in Africa. Our guide was super good and helped us introduce it all the way. I was lucky to see a group of giraffes, with 30 or 40 of them. He said it was not seen every day.
Breakfast is ordered, the product is great, and we had breakfast in the woods. When we were almost done, various animals came to eat, and the children were very happy.
The swimming pool is heated, which is good, and there are small animals everywhere around. It's really a different experience.

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!

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.
