Anantara World Islands Resort, Dubai

Clean rooms with nice view.

AC is annoying and positioned in bad area in the room. Fridge is not working good. Pool is small .

New Experience for staycation, very welcoming staff and very big room space with brilliant sea view

Beach sand too much rough couldn’t enjoy the beach side Transportation fee should be mentioned from beginning

Ambiance and aesthetics.

The check-in process took far too long

I love Anantara resorts because you are guaranteed exceptional services and facilities. We enjoyed the small pool in the villa and felt the beach was almost private for us. The food at the restaurants was delicious and everyone working there was super friendly.

The logistics to go and return is why I didn’t give this resort a 10 out of 10. You don’t receive clear guidelines on what you should do and because of the waiting for the luggage, the trip to and from lasted 90 mins each way.

The island is amazing place to getaway and not far from Dubai.

A bit expensive dinning and no further choices. Also, boat time schedule is not flexible. Otherwise, it is the best

It is an amazing place with friendly staff

everything only the spa it is bad not professional staff there for me I don’t do it there at all …another than that everything perfect

The staff on the island were great (Yoon specifically was excellent). The Room is fantastic. The food was great and the services were excellent.

The transportation from and to the island is a nightmare. They only have specific times and the reception area and staff off the island in the main desk were not a 5-star level. In addition, the boat is charged and not cheap yet you have no other way to reach the island, I mean I am only paying this much for the room. It is ok if you are going to be on the island with no need to commute back to Dubai.

perfect location, nice view.. quite and relaxing

1. the transfer by bout wasn’t good experience.. its a small bout with only few seats outside. the inside seats are very hot because their is no AC. 2. I suppose to have someone talk to me via WhatsApp to support us during our stay but this never happened. 3. there is a door from the pool directly to the toilet it was looked and I have to call 3 times till someone come to unlock it. other than this its a great please

Everything was great. Very comfortable. Amazing staff. Facilities great.

Waiting for my luggage took too long (over an hour when checking in, and 45 when checking out).

Nice experience. The villa with the pool facing the sea is amazing. It is like if you tarek led to Maldives without the hassle of the airport. Very clean. Well organized. Many activities for kids.

Breakfast was excellent but dîner average. Can swim only in dedicated area of the sea. Water activities overpriced.

Our single night stay at the Anantara World Islands Resort proved to be a delightful affair. Our room boasted an exquisite vista of the vast blue crystal-clear ocean. The picturesque sunset and the captivating Dubai skyline, as seen from Qamar Restaurant, were truly mesmerizing. The hospitality of the staff was outstanding, adding to the charm of our visit. The exhilarating 15-minute speed boat ride from the Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort to the secluded island and back further elevated our experience, leaving us with nothing but praise for this paradisal location.

The valet parking did pose some difficulties, and the lounge where we awaited the boat was not up to par with the hotel's five-star standards. The ambiance felt dated, and the space was inadequate, with insufficient seating available. We were eager to depart as soon as possible. Nonetheless, this slight inconvenience does not detract from the unforgettable experience we enjoyed. I highly recommend this destination to couples and families seeking a memorable retreat.

Beautiful location - feels like you're out of Dubai Pool area and breakfast were great Private pool and room were fantastic

Parts of the island still in development but didn't impact stay

Rooms beach and breakfast

Host was unavailable, restaurant options very limited. Difficult to get to dubai visit, no taxis available.

The staff was great, the food was great, private villa with pool was great, facilities was mostly great, view is nice and unique, not many guests on the island for it's size so you can spread out and relax, good wifi

Why you charge hotel guests separately for the boat ride? Boat ride to the island should be included in room price. The facilities was kind of a mixed bag. The island is clearly still being developed so depending where you are on the island there might be noise from generators or bad smell in the air. Luckily our room was away from this so it did not impact us but you clearly notice it on the way to the room. Most of the facilities are nice and as you would expect though and the room was very nice. It's an artificial island so the sand is not as smooth as you would expect, water was very clear and clean though. There are only two major restaurants for dinner (one Indian and one Greek), the food especially in the Indian one was great.

- helpful staff, specially Ahmed our villa host was very attentive and made our stay very pleasant and comfortable - beautiful views - temperature controlled pool - free room upgrade

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with several aspects of our stay. Firstly, we found the prices for accommodation, restaurants, and facilities to be overpriced. Additionally, the boat departure process was disorganized, with no staff members to guide us or provide information on where to go. The waiting area was crowded, and we were left unsure if we were leaving together or on different boats. We were standing in the sun for around 15 minutes, asking people around for information on where to go and who to follow. When we departed, the boat suddenly stopped and reversed, as some guests had been left behind due to the disorganization. Finally, the reception we received upon arrival was lackluster, with the staff appearing tired and unhappy, aside from the drum guy who was impressive. We recommend either improving the reception ceremony or removing it altogether, as it is the first impression guests have of the resort.

The hotel is amazing , great views , friendly and very helpfull staff specialy hassine. He was really professional and helpfull. I highly recommend this place . We had enjoyed our stay . But only one feedback , the breakfast buffet is very average . The rest was all perfect

The bteakfast buffet was very basic

I like the feel of it. they really tried to make it feel like it’s somewhere in maledives. the staff was super friendly. facilities very nice lots of nature

it’s quite and calmly

no bike provided for the guest

The hotel gave us a free upgrade upon arrival which was amazing and appreciated

The transport from and to the world island is not as organised. Food quality was OK not great You pay to have your private beach however there are labor passing by and peeking.. so wasn't really private at all.. sometimes uncomfortable really.

Location is great and away from the city

For the price I would have expected all inclusive.

relaxing and clean and chilling

The place is very clean and amazing, yet the price is too high although it dose come with private swimming pool. Besides, I believe the location is still under progress. Otherwise, the food is delicious and clean, and that staff are welcoming and always there to serve.

Staff, Services, environment, food

Beaches needs to remove stones from and needs more entertainment. Air con in rooms to be directed away from the bed area.

Did not feel like we were in UAE and the staff pulled off my celebration request beyond expectations. Highly recommend food, villa and service were all amazing thank you!

I enjoyed 2 night in the island. They had very helpful and extremely nice staff, especially the one and only Sayyed Altaf (he was a drop from heaven). I booked the joiner ocean view suite and got a free upgrade to accommodate my request. The Island has many facilities (gift shop, salon, Greek restaurant, Indian/Arabic restaurant, a lounge, pool, water sports, kids area, swing on the edge of the sea, and tennis court. I tried the Greek restaurant and enjoyed iced tea watching the sunset in the Indian/Arabic restaurant. I also tried hoverboard 👍🏼 with Mohammed. The atmosphere was phenomenal, clean and organized. The place is good for couples and families. I would definitely do it again to escape the stress of work and life.
