Very Good
Location
The Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa is positioned in Sir Bani Yas Island, an amazing location away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a perfect place to experience the beauty of nature, wildlife and the tranquil coastline. The island is clean and peaceful, offering a great location for activities like safaris, adventure trips and scientific entertainment. The entrance to the island is far away, but it provides the perfect isolation on this very beautiful and relaxing island. Guests have access to a lovely and clean beach, although it has some rocks and water activities are a bit farther from the hotel. The location of the resort is a bel écrin (beautiful setting) facing the sea with direct access to the beach. Un voyage exceptionnel, le lieu est magnifique! (An exceptional journey, the place is magnificent!)

Breakfast
The breakfast at Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa offers a unique experience with animals and birds in the background. The food quality was generally good with a very good selection at the main restaurant. However, some guests felt that the pastries lacked quality and there could have been more options, especially for children and vegans. The breakfast buffet also suffered from a lack of staff at times, resulting in basic options and limited live cooking stations. Despite this, some guests deemed it incredible and praised the food for being varied and copious. The gluten-free counter received special mention but guests felt that more options and restaurants would be appreciated. Overall, the breakfast experience received mixed reviews.

Dinner
The dinner options at Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa received mixed reviews. While the Italian restaurant and seafood restaurant received positive feedback for their delicious food, the Savana Lodge restaurant disappointed some guests with the quality of their meals. The new year gala dinner was a special highlight for many guests, although some found the restaurants to be expensive. One unique experience mentioned in the reviews was dining with Gazelles and peacock. However, there were also comments about limited menus and overpriced items. Guests with lactose intolerance were disappointed by the lack of options available for them. Despite these mixed reviews, the dinner options at Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa will satisfy most travelers, especially those who enjoy Italian cuisine and fresh seafood.

Rooms
The Anantara Desert Islands Resort & Spa offers a lovely and perfect place to stay for your vacation. The housekeeping is very good and the rooms are generally comfortable and clean with a nice view of the sea.

Despite this, the African-style accommodation was described as authentic and naturnah. Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful and guests were able to have a good vacation.
