Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Savanh Restaurant for demonstrating the true essence of hospitality during our recent visit. The professionalism exhibited by Chef Francis and his culinary team in creating remarkable dishes was complemented by their warm welcoming atmosphere. From our arrival at the Desert Island Resort to our check-out, the team handled our experience with exceptional care and attention, earning a well-deserved 10/10 rating. Moreover, I commend the restaurant supervisor Olio and the check-in team for their exemplary service, equally deserving of high praise. However, as i have a large experience in Owning boutique hotels and Mega yachts charter company in middle east and Europe and Hospitality group of restaurants in UAE and Europe I would like to address a concern regarding the exclusivity of Olio Restaurant, primarily catering to Al Yam guests. During our visit, the restaurant felt underutilized, as we encountered only a handful of occupied tables on a weekend. While the staff's demeanor was commendable, it seemed they lacked hands-on experience, highlighting the need for more regular practice. I suggest allowing more resort guests or Anantara loyalty members as dimond members and platinum members access to Olio to enhance overall dining occupancy and provide varied experiences, ensuring an engaging atmosphere. Additionally, while the facilities at Al Yam promise exclusivity, we observed that certain aspects, such as gym equipment, remain outdated. And Al yam Guest pool is outdated as well al yam will need few more touches to make the place a great experience for guests i encourage thoughtful consideration of these matters to enhance overall guest experience, as our visits to Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island have always been delightful.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were offered some biscuits and water upon arrival at the jetty. Everything was on time. The service was good, the room was really nice. On our way back to the airport, our taxi did not show up so the hotel staff called their driver to take us to the airport on short notice at a reasonable price. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and everyone was very accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be back!

The service was exceptional, with professional and friendly staff who went above and beyond, offering extended excursions and room upgrades. The location is breathtaking, surrounded by lush forests and abundant wildlife. The east-side beach boasts the cleanest water we’ve experienced in the UAE. Additionally, the resort offers exquisite fine dining, featuring a variety of gourmet dishes in a stunning setting.

The property location and the amenities are very good.

We enjoyed that it was an island vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The employees were all friendly, professional and helpful. From check-in until we had to leave. We enjoyed some spa treatments, went on the game drive, visited all the different restaurants and experience the different cuisine on the island. It was an adventure for us. They made our stay really memorable. Thank you.
