Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa

El lugar es bonito pero el hotel debería reformarse un poco ya que algunas instalaciones se ven viejas. El personal en especial Aida maravilloso. El safari es fantástico así como el resto de actividades. Pero parte de las instalaciones como la ducha de la piscina que no funcionaba, luces del baño que no van, y algun que otro detalle deslucen un poco la experiencia. El spa es muy bueno y el servicio tambien.

We experienced the island out of season — no crowds or any people basically, perfect seashore and beach, great safari experience

Spotless Beautiful location

Boat Transfer: The transfer was (mis)organized via a crowded shared public water taxi rather than the exclusive, resort-standard hovercraft previously offered. This detracted from the premium holiday experience we were expecting and paying for. Room Cleanliness: While the rooms appear to have been renovated, they were not properly cleaned. Upon entering the room, we noticed hair on the shower fixtures and other signs of inadequate housekeeping. This is unacceptable for a luxury resort. New Year’s Gala Dinner: Despite booking the Gala, we were initially told no tables were available and suggested our party split up. While the staff eventually rectified this after an uncomfortable wait, it highlighted significant lapses in event planning. (Note: The food, entertainment, and family atmosphere were, however, fine). Breakfast Service: While the variety was sufficient, service was consistently poor on both mornings. We experienced 15-minute wait times for coffee and arrived at tables lacking napkins, cutlery, and basic condiments. The staff appeared ill-prepared and lacked the necessary communication skills for a high-end establishment. Wildlife Safari: The safari guide was professional and knowledgeable, offering insightful commentary on the island's wildlife and historical sites. However, the overall experience could be enhanced to better justify the cost. We also noted disruptions from larger groups associated with cruise ship visits, which impacted the serenity.

Great hotel with very good amenities. As a Titanium level on Minor Hotels we were upgraded twice and we received our new rooms pretty fast. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. Very good and comfortable beds with 2 different pillows as a standard. Room was clean and very spacious, balcony the same. They have various activities to choose from and we booked the Safari. It was amazing. A lot of species of animals are roaming freely in the area and you can take tones of pictures.
