Al Dhafra Hotels with Bars

Fabulous setting [although a 2 1/2 hour car trip from Abu Dhabi]. Probably totally uneconomic but thanks to wealthy Rulers who promote such projects, a truly out of this World experience awaits. Even James Cameron was inspired… Architecture, furnishings and service equally stunning. The pool was being refurbished when I visited but considering the remoteness, facilities are all you’d expect

The most affordable of the three Anantara hotels on Sir Bani Yas Island, it is also a sea view hotel (the other two villas are more desert-style and not close to the sea). Overall, for most mainland tourists, this small island is less crowded, beautiful, blue sea, and many animals, so it should be worth experiencing! (The disadvantage is that it costs about 500 dirhams to take a taxi from Abu Dhabi one way, and it takes 3 hours. If you need the phone number of the local taxi driver, you can leave a message. He is an Indian brother who speaks good English, is punctual, trustworthy and polite) The hotel room is quite standard. The standard room is equipped with a bathtub and a balcony (with two lounge chairs). Capsule coffee and mineral water are replenished daily, and you can ask for more if they are not enough. Service: The hotel service is very good. Whether it is the front desk, the restaurant or the guide staff who go to safari to see animals, they are warm and gentle. Any needs in the room, such as a bucket of ice, will be delivered in time. Facilities: The hotel is not new, but it is a retro country style, which does not affect it. We are a group of three people staying here. We added a small bed, which cost 440 dirhams per night with breakfast. The small bed creaked and was barely slept. Environment: The overall environment of the hotel is excellent. A small island with most facilities is artificial, showing the strength of the rich country all the time. Every tree is carefully maintained by a special drip irrigation. I believe that most of the uu who chooses Sarbaniya hope to meet animals unexpectedly. The season we went there (early August) was really hot. It felt difficult to go out between noon and 5pm, as the temperature felt uncomfortable (but I still insisted on walking around). After 5pm, we walked around the mangroves and artificial lagoon area near the hotel and at the door. It was very beautiful. Common birds were peacocks, gazelles and sika deer (they were still quite afraid of people, so it was best to watch them from about five meters away). We could inadvertently see green parrots, flamingos, various sandpipers from a distance, and of course the most common were yellow-rumped bulbuls and crows 🐦⬛.

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!

very nice trip, surrounded by peacocks, antelops, angola chickens; we also spent some time around the other 2 Anantara hotels on the island

The hotel is particularly good, no matter the key to the hotel or the hotel facilities, it is just too far away from Dubai. I am doing a Dubai tour. Because there are guests living in Xi'er Island, I chose a surrounding hotel to pick up the next day. The hotel is about a hundred rooms, all of which are beautiful sea view rooms. You can swim at the beach, have your own open-air swimming pool, have a gym, have a small garden, and breakfast is good.

Some of the staff seem poorly trained, and our experience celebrating my friend’s birthday here was disappointing. The room we were assigned was so bad, and although they claimed all rooms were booked and couldn’t move us, rooms were still available online. The property was informed in advance of the birthday, but no arrangements were made. We ordered a cake ourselves, but it arrived without “Happy Birthday” on it—a detail that was overlooked, making us feel like they didn’t care. When we raised the room issue with Bilal at the front desk, his response was unprofessional and unsuited to hospitality. There was poor communication overall, with the reception and other staff providing inconsistent information. Despite these issues, two staff members went above and beyond to offer exceptional service: Niven and Naser from the F&B department. Naser was incredibly accommodating and welcoming—he provided us with valuable information about the property and handled all our needs during the stay. He even arranged a complimentary cake for my friend’s birthday, even though it was nearly checkout time, clearly doing his best to make us feel valued. Niven was also very kind and professional. Their efforts truly made a positive difference in our experience. Their exceptional service stood out but couldn’t completely offset our disappointment. Not sure if we’ll be back

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.

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.
