Al Dhafra Hotels with Pools

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.

Very nice island and was greeted gleefully by a team of staff who were very nice at the jetty to get on the boat headed for the island. Ramesh from Srilanka was very nice guy who was really good at his job. Elly was the guide on the boat itself and great guy too. Reached the hotel on the island and was greeted by George who was very kind and explained everything very well. Overall great stay. Only drawback was the pricing of the activities which I felt were overpriced and also didn’t get prompt responses on the hotel app chat even though I was specifically told that was the fastest way to communicate. Food and staff at olio Italian restaurant was super. And let and probably the best part of our trip was the safari and a guy called younis who was super informative and made it a memorable trip. Also one thing been noticing recently with quite a few resort hotels is the staff look artificially happy not like they want to be there. Anyway overall great stay and one night is more than enough to be honest on this island as during this month of January sea water is super cold so can’t really swim in the sea and enjoy the beach. Pools were temperature controlled so that was great. One point to be noted is while arriving the staff were extra friendly and helpful but while leaving not much communication and no water or wet towels provided either. It felt like they welcome u greatly but then send u off on ur way without real care. 😎🤷🏽♂️

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!

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.

Very nice, the environment is very good, the resort hotel. But the location is really remote and there is nothing around. However, the hotel has its own beach, which is not bad, and there are other hotels nearby, so there are several options for eating. There is also a Korean restaurant next to it, mainly to provide services for the nuclear power plant built by the Koreans nearby, and the food is good.

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.

Very good, clean environment, the location is too far away, in the hinterland of the desert, suitable for vacation and leisure, service is also very fast, facilities are complete and comfortable, the price is also fragrant, praise recommended

The price-performance ratio is not too high It is really a super surprising hotel On the way to the hotel, it was like walking into a fairy tale of the Thousand and One Nights The hotel front desk was very enthusiastic. The room was a one-bedroom suite, which was very suitable for a family of three. There was also a kitchen where you could make some simple food. The hotel's breakfast and dinner were good, and you had no problem eating well Each room has its own swimming pool. You can watch the beautiful sunset in the swimming pool, and the whole desert is yours. You will never have the trouble of being crowded like some star hotels in China. It's awesome, highly recommended!

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.
