Exceeded expectations. Island had three properties Desert Island: It's hotel format, has a phenomenal pool and crystal sand beach (the best beach among all of them) Sahel Villas: Located near wildlife modeled around a jungle lodge Al Yamm: Villas by the beach with private plunge pools. Highly recommend Notable mention: The food is amazing, especially for a resort so far out. Call out to the pastry chef for his creations with minimum sugar which bring out the flavors in the food

A very unique outdoors experience in an idyllic setting. Good for families with young children to be outside in beautiful nature and enjoy the roaming animals… the villas are nice and charming however need lots of renovations. All Prices are exorbitant, rooms, food and all activities. The service although friendly is not organized and inefficient with poor communication in general. The food offering was the biggest let down, poor quality and variety across the 3 hotels. We enjoyed it overall but would not go back.

Our recent stay at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort was nothing short of magical. The customer service was impeccable, creating an inviting and serene atmosphere. The cuisine surpassed expectations, with each meal presenting a delectable journey. Special gratitude to Arav for his delightful conversation and top-notch food service, enhancing my dining experience. The safari ride was truly unforgettable, adding an adventurous touch to the overall splendor. Anantara Sir Bani Yas exceeded every expectation, providing a perfect blend of luxury and nature. Highly recommend this resort for an enchanting escape.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is good. However, there are a few areas of development specially in the area for recreational activities for kids. It should have indoor and outdoor activities, games for kids. Considering both the climate as well as make use of the wide space at their disposal. My son 11yrs did start to get bored after sometime as there were no activities to keep them engaged. You might also like to include more veg/Indian options for food in your menu.

Location wise it’s amazing place, But staff are not well trained, activities are extremely expensive and not worth the price, food is not good and yet expensive, all rooms are very old and not refurbished. Wouldn’t recommend anyone until they change their rooms and food quality’s. Safari is so expensive and you only see gazelle nothing else and it’s 350 per person which is not justifiable, even though gazelle are roaming everywhere for free. The manager won’t cross a mile to make you happy except smile and make you pay. Food and drink and below average in quality but in price are extremely above average. Rooms with pool are extremely dirty water I was suppose to stay for 2 nights and I only stayed for one night. I don’t recommend it to anyone there are better alternatives around
