Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villas

Majid Murad

Our stay at Anantara Sir Baniyas Island Resort had its highs and lows. To start with the positives, the reception team, customer service, and overall hospitality were Excellent. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely attentive, which made us feel very welcome. However, there were several disappointments that affected the overall experience. The ferry boat transportation to the island was in very poor condition — the vessel was old and not up to the standards expected from a luxury resort. Additionally, we were transported alongside laborers, which made the journey feel uncomfortable and far from premium. This really set a negative tone before even reaching the island. At the resort, the breakfast buffet lacked variety, which was surprising given the brand’s reputation. There were very limited options, and it didn’t reflect the level of culinary experience you’d expect. As for dining, the African restaurant on the island was particularly disappointing.The food quality and overall dining experience were subpar. I would strongly not recommend it. While the location and natural beauty of the island are impressive, these operational and dining issues definitely took away from what could have been a truly memorable experience.

From the moment we arrived, our experience at this hotel was terrible. One of our bags – which was expensive and important to us – was damaged by the staff during check-in. No one apologized When we entered our villa, we were shocked by how dirty and poorly maintained it was. The cleanliness was unacceptable, and it felt like no proper housekeeping had been done. The overall service was extremely bad throughout our stay. The manager, Michelle, was completely unprofessional and did not know how to handle any of our concerns. Her attitude was dismissive and unhelpful. The food was also a huge disappointment – nothing tasted good, and none of the restaurants or room service options met even basic expectations. There was nothing enjoyable about the dining experience. Overall, I strongly do not recommend this hotel. It was a waste of money and time, and I wouldn’t advise anyone to stay here.

We got an upgrade confirmation and once we reach they informed us that there is no room availability, and yet they did for us late check-in even tho they told us we will give you early check-in since it was a celebration and they handed us the villa at 4:15! More than that the food at the restaurant was not tasty at all! Once we did check-out they informed us that the ferry dock is crowded so they will arrange a bus from the resort it self once we reach a ferry will be waiting for the guest resort only but shockingly once we arrive they let us get in a full of people from all the resort around the island !!! Not coming back for sure came to celebrate my birthday but they make it worse!!

Had a brilliant trip staying here. The service was impeccable, very friendly staff and the villa room was perfect. This is the ideal spot for a staycation and short trip if you want peace and quiet. Highly recommend to do the safari, it’s great to learn more about the island.

I'm currently staying at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. First, the hotel failed to properly arrange boat schedules that caused delay to our room—we had to wait two hours before we could check into our room, despite having a confirmed reservation. As for breakfast, the options were VERY limited, with little variety to accommodate different preferences (those kind of resorts should have a really big variety as well can't order anything from outside). However, room service was also disappointingly slow, and when the food finally arrived, its quality was far below the standard I’ve experienced at other hotels and wasn't fresh at all. Overall, the service was poor, and there was a clear lack of attention to guest satisfaction. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a smooth and comfortable stay. The only good thing was the villa and the pool.
