The staff were friendly and provided great service throughout my visit. The food was tasty with a good variety of options to choose from. The pool area, complete with sunbeds and cabanas, was a nice place to relax. The pool bar offered a decent selection and a pleasant atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for recharging after a day of exploration. One of the highlights was the stunning nature surrounding the hotel, featuring beautiful dunes and occasional gazelles and camels. Thank you, Anantara, for an unforgettable and magical stay - I will definitely be back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful setting all else a bit disappointing Beautiful setting. Nice architecture. Everything else a bit lackluster. Came at the end of the main season and many activities are not available (camel rides, desert bbq, etc.) and the hotel was not very busy. Food could be much better. Highlights: Excellent service at pool bar and very knowledgeable falcon and owl handlers. Everyone else seemed bored. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Khalidiya-Palace-Rayhaan-By-Rotana.h2891787.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Abu-Dhabi-Hotel-Villas.h4697502.Hotel-Information) > > [Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Rixos-Marina-Abu-Dhabi.h83955505.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Abu Dhabi by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-InterContinental-Abu-Dhabi.h2414.Hotel-Information) > > [W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-W-Abu-Dhabi-Yas-Island.h2976113.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Abu Dhabi Yas Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h2852940.Hotel-Information) > > [Traders Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Traders-Hotel-Qaryat-Al-Beri-Abu-Dhabi.h2841693.Hotel-Information) > > [The WB Abu Dhabi, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-Wb-Abu-Dhabi.h71554879.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Méridien Abu Dhabi Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Abu-Dhabi.h16178.Hotel-Information) > > [Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Rixos-Premium-Saadiyat-Island.h27521937.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Abu-Dhabi.h5484178.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Abu-Dhabi-At-Al-Maryah-Island.h14677168.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Abu-Dhabi.h4849371.Hotel-Information) > > [ERTH Abu Dhabi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Armed-Forces-Officers-Club-Hotel.h4532589.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Shangri-La.h1680104.Hotel-Information) > > [Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Emirates-Palace.h1162753.Hotel-Information) > > [Jumeirah Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Jumeirah-At-Saadiyat-Island-Resort.h29143213.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel And Residences Emirates Pearl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Abu-Dhabi-Hotel-And-Residences-Emirates-Pearl.h16078864.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Resort.h3300.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Downtown by Millennium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Abu-Dhabi-Downtown.h9236359.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Conrad-Abu-Dhabi-Etihad-Towers.h4399777.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Sofitel-Abu-Dhabi-Corniche.h4268173.Hotel-Information) > > [Corniche Hotel Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Corniche-Hotel-Abu-Dhabi.h870001.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Sheraton-Abu-Dhabi-Hotel-Resort.h16064.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Bab Al Bahr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Fairmont-Bab-Al-Bahr.h2933393.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal M Hotel Abu Dhabi by Gewan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Royal-M-Hotel-Resort-Abu-Dhabi.h30608953.Hotel-Information) > > [Andalus Al Seef Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Al-Seef-Resort-Spa-By-Andalus.h12313461.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abu Dhabi Edition](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-Abu-Dhabi-Edition.h30674294.Hotel-Information) ---
