Anantara World Islands Resort, Dubai

The privacy

Food

Everything the rooms the beach the privacy it was wonderful

Nothing everything was good

We liked the hotel really much and the gym with a view

noisy generator, which you can hear all the time, if you are the pool

Privacy of the swimming private pool

Needs more attention to the villa cleanliness due to the small ants specifically in the sunset pool villas in summer time

All the facility was good

Very high price

Resort was very quite and clean full of privacy on our villa The staff was very helpful and very kind with us specially Abdullaziz and Swe lady on reception and rendi he tied our villa and make a heart on the bed I like his way thnx anatara we enjoy every moment

Nothing

I loved that they had so many gluten-free options The place was very clean and the food was delicious The staff was very friendly The pool was private, and this was why i chose this resort

The prices are a bit high, and many food options needed that we pay more money than the already paid half board during dinner meals

The location is great. Staff were very welcoming and friendly especially Mr. Aziz

Every thing

Best from anantara at world island

Nothing

the room I booked was not the one received, and near the construction which was unpleasant stay

The food was out of the world ! The Egyptian chef nailed it

The furniture in the rooms can be revamped

It’s very nice

The furniture could be revamped

that the villa is spacious and clean, the staff.

1.The shower area inside the bathroom is poorly designed—after every use, water spreads across the entire bathroom floor. 2.There’s no nearby grocery store, which is inconvenient considering we’re 10–15 minutes away from the city, and the boats charge 150 AED for transport. 3.Boat schedules should be more flexible to better accommodate residents’ needs. 4.All boats should be equipped with air conditioning—Dubai’s weather makes it extremely uncomfortable without it.

Very friendly staff, very well maintained resort, very informal in all aspects

A little too quiet at the main pool area meant no real atmosphere. Music inside the restaurants but nothing outside. If you are looking for that then a pool villa is your best option

The beach

The pillow is very soft

Absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The staff were welcoming, the room was clean and cozy, and the view was breathtaking—waking up to that scenery was a highlight of the trip. Whether it was sunrise over the city or sunset by the water, the views alone made the stay unforgettable. Highly recommend and would gladly return!

Felt like a tropical island in

2 check ins

This has by far been the best property we’ve stayed at in the UAE. We loved the way the property has been designed to give a feel if being outside of the Emirates but yet with the luxury that UAE provides (and only UAE can provide) Half board was truly a great deal. I have to give a special shout out to the Chef at the Open Grill in Helios who made some amazing Steaks for me.. A bro knows how another bro likes his steaks :-)

The boat service from mainland to Island was not the most attractive and could be upgraded to better Boats/Yachts which reflect the quality of the property

Loved the restaurant, ‘Qamar’ such good food and great breakfast too. Loved how the manager at qamar treated us also. The view was amazing.

They did not have a fridge, and the minibar didn’t even make anything cool enough, especially with a baby. Also the buggy service is pretty slow but it was okayy

Service and care

Flexibility on use of hotel facilities, even after check out

A lovely island and resort. A lovely welcome on arrival to the resort and the room. There is still lots of construction going on at the other end. Beach could be better. Lovely views of Dubai city skyline from the beach. Hotel rooms were amazing and clean, and we were looked after by Arif. AC was too cold and remote control too complicated to operate. We requested connecting rooms with our two teenage boys, but unfortunately, they were not provided; an inconvenience, but we managed. Amazing breakfast spread. Bbq grill night at Helios restaurant much to be desired, very little choice for starters and grill. We took half board, but drinks were not included. Qamat restaurant with Arabic /indian buffet was nice. We were placed very far from amenities and pool. It was not too bad, though, as a buggy was available. There was a stink in the area towards our rooms, from dirty smi cleaned sewage water being used by gardeners (whom by the way were not in uniforms and not professional at all like rest of staff) and lots of standing water in tree/foliage areas due to over watering, which resulted in mosquitoes. I was bitten the second night by mosquitoes and was lucky to have my anti histamine meds with me. There is a lovely large aviary with not many birds in it, though. It was clearly not being looked after well as there was a large dead bird on the floor in the aviary... Lots of beautiful wildlife in the resort, including peacocks, ducks, geese, gazelles, parrots, etc. Checking in, boat service, and luggage services were exceptional. Water sports facilities prices were exorbitant, had a decent small gym and paddle court. overall a nice island experience with only a 20 min boat ride away from Dubai.

The location was spectacular with stunning views of the Dubai skyline. The island is so peaceful and the staff go over and above to make sure you have everything you need. Monika in particular was absolutely increadible and made our stay so special, we can't wait to go back!!

Nothing!

Mrs. Monika she was very professional in front desk. I was very happy how she handle all kind of question and she’s very professional.

I liked the quietness and tranquillity of the place

The food menu can be expanded, i felt like it wasn't varied enough

Stunning views of Dubai Good service Quiet place

Quality of the room and in general of the hotel way below Anantara standard (outdated and noisy aircon, cheap furnitures, poor finishing) Stupid check in system to push you to take a higher end room at an expensive rate Overpriced for the standard of the hotel

The peacefulness, the staff, the room and the animals around the island, especially the peacocks

The sofa bed for the kids, not comfortable and noisy

We had such a lovely stay at the Anantara World Islands Resort. The suite was decorated for our anniversary with complimentary little touches. It was spacious and had its on private pool and access straight to the beach just beyond. The Greek restaurant served lovely food and the walking track around the hotel was great for a little exercise. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and our host, Monica went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay. Thank you!

Nothing.

It is a peaceful location 15 minutes from Dubai. The nature and quality of the island are great, considering it is artificial. The staff is smily, professional and welcoming. The room are very spacious.

The energy generator is located near the resort facility and produces a constant and quite loud noise that deeply compromises the experience.

Nice

Nothing

Beautiful location, beautiful room. Staff is extremely communicative and handled stay from start to finish. Floating breakfast was silly but absolutely worth it.

We were hurried to boat schedules that we couldn't possibly make, only for staff to go above and beyond and get us a boat. That could've been less stressful.

Everything was as expected

Some TV channels are not working

Everything was great. Special thanks to Hydaia who's part of the customer service and Gerra who's working at Qamar restaurant.

Nothing.

everything was good

N/A

Receptionist and reservations Mr. Aziz Summit in high-class dealings and ethics

It was a relaxing getaway, far from the hustle of town. A special thank you to Sonia, the Resort Manager, who arranged a truly memorable stay for me. Her attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction made all the difference. I also want to express my gratitude to Galina, the Spa Director and her team, for an exceptional wellness experience. Additionally, a big shoutout to the Tunisian team member in Restaurant Qamar for providing perfect service.

The facilities are very good and service is great.

The pathway in the island need be improved.

The location is great for a short break from city hustle bustle. Our villa host Aziz was exceptional and everything was just a call or msg away.

The construction quality was not at the level I was expecting specially price pool area. Quality of tiles used around pool area was very low and also the workmanship.

The villa that we stayed in was amazing but even more so the friendliness of the staff was beyond expectations. I was assigned a personal host, Aziza, who helped book restaurant reservations, spa appointments and any buggy transportation to get us around the island - she really made the stay special. Swe, who was working at the front desk, created some lovely sand art on the steps of our villa wishing my wife a happy birthday. Joseph was our buggy driver and helped us get around. All in all, every member of staff we encountered was great!

The restaurants could be a bit better

The staff is excellent, at a high level. Especially in the restaurant for breakfast there is a cool administrator

The rooms are very old, the territory is not improved and not well maintained. The paths are made of sand, so you can only walk in rubber flip-flops. Very little greenery.

The check-in process was easy. The room was clean, huge, and looked new. The location was good. The staff were welcoming and nice. The food quality exceeded expectations. The welcoming cake was fresh and tasty. Upon return, the luggage and cars were ready with the AC cooling, which was appreciated. Overall experience was positive, and the reviewer would return.

The spa was disappointing, not up to high standards, and felt overpriced. Bathrooms and locker areas were not clean. Delays during the boat ride back due to a large family, causing a late arrival without any apologies. Suggestion for large families (over 10 people) to have a separate boat to avoid delays for others. Unprofessional conduct from staff fighting in front of guests on the boat, which disrupted a peaceful departure from the island.

Rooms are big and clean. Staff is friendly and kind. The breakfast was excellent and has good variety.

The staff specially Hedaya was amazing

Calm, comfortable, and staff are very hosting

I liked the environment and the staff

Too many ducks

Exellent team and staff and special Monika she was very helpful and profesional
