Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

A peaceful and well-organized desert retreat. The setting is beautiful, the service attentive, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. A nice escape from the city.

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. 😎🤷🏽♂️

謝謝酒店慷慨幫我們升級了動物酒店的pool villa，非常驚喜！孩子非常喜歡，小鳥兒們太可愛了，咕咕雞也很逗，就是有衹母孔雀太沒有分寸哈哈哈哈哈。最期待的safari沒有選好時間，本來想看草原日出結果確下起了雨，有點遺憾。總之在酒店度過的時間非常愉快，會懷念的體驗。
