Probably the worst Anantara I have stayed in. The hotel entrance is a real issue. The staff is underwhelming. Service was quite awful. Pool area is not that great. Rooms were great!

Room was not available at check in time or for several hours afterwards. The hotel staff said that existing guests overstayed and rooms required cleaning. However the hotel should have a policy of adhering to check in times as the absence of room availability causes considerable inconvenience. The hotel has a good swimming pool which is of a decent size but is otherwise quite average in terms of facilities.

Great stay. Location close by to downtown areas and there are some walking distance shops you can walk to for breakfast or coffee. Super pretty bathtub from the room we requested, however view from bathtub just ok. They do have a really nice swimming pool and restaurants plus spa onsite. You can check in early and wait at swimming pool until your room is ready; i thought that was nice. Staff was really nice as well.

The lobby was being upgraded so I can't comment on what the lobby will be like, but the current one is bland and boring. The rooms is large and nice compared to other rooms in the area. The amenities are ok. I was the gym was larger and the steam room was better. I wish there was a sauna also. There also needs to be a bar option and something better restaurants.

Breakfast was delicious- lots of variety. The little touches like putting my name on the TV info screen and the fruit/sweet plate were lovely. If I make it back to Dubai, this is where I’ll stay.

The hotel overall is very nice and comfortable, just slightly showing some age. The room did have a few deficiencies, such as a lack of power outlets (especially by the bedside and in the bathroom), odd light controls, and a tight wardrobe space not wide enough to lay open a modern-day hardshell suitcase. Also, the layout of the building complex makes for a really awkward path to reach the street from the hotel. However, I would like to point out that these few deficiencies would totally be made up by the exceptional service by all staff at the hotel. From our housekeeping person (Veranga) to restaurant staff (particularly Anthony at the breakfast buffet restaurant), everyone went out of their way with genuine attention to make sure we had a pleasant time at the hotel.

The room was spacious and clean but need refurbishment, they told soon they will start to do the whole rooms in the hotel. Alaa was very helpful also , as a whole our stay was pleasant , comfortable and enjoyable. If I visit Dubai sure I will stay again in Anantara .

Check-in process was an absolute shambles. Staff didn't even acknowledged that I walked into the hotel or I am waiting to check-in. Finally when I asked to be served, it took ages to get a room. The rooms switches are out dated and sockets are not conveniently located. There isn't a single USB charging port available which will give you an idea of how old the rooms are....at £300 a night that is not good enough standards.

This hotel is a rip off. Avoid it. Customer service is extremely poor despite the high cost. It you don't request room service, they won't do it. Electrical outlets wouldn't work. Access is very inconvenient. Most important, customer service people clueless, incompetent and helpless. I do not recommend it. There are many other better choices in the area.

Stayed here for 2 nights on a layover for our honeymoon. The hotel did an exceptional job helping us celebrate this occasion with lovely decor and treats. They also went over and above to help us with accommodations before our late night flight with amenities and freshening up. Some disappointments with the lobby renovations taking longer, causing chaos with getting taxis or dropped off in the temporary lobby. And not able to get our VIP room upgrade. Location was decent but not much to walk around in the immediate vicinity - took taxis everywhere. Overall enjoyed our stay and would come back when the Lobby reno is done.

Nothing in Dubai is really close to anything else. This property was reasonably priced but anything with a pool view includes loud parties/private events being held at the pool. The hotel claims the restaurant on the top floor is part of the hotel but when dined then, found out they won't allow charges to the room and I had to go back to the room and return with my wallet. Prices were very high for food and drink. The morning buffet is GREAT and worth taking a room that includes that. Service at dinner was awful ( Nine Seven One restaurant) and also overpriced.
