We had fun during our stay, vila was spacious with swimming pool temperature just perfect. Lot of space for kids to run around. Staff is very courteous and polite only suggestion is to add few more options for vegetarian in restaurants and in room dining staff Harish was very helpful in check-in and out

We stayed at Desert Islands Resort for one night from 11–12 November. Although our stay was short, it was absolutely lovely. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Sasandi, who checked us in and immediately made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast the following morning was excellent, with a great selection. The chefs kept the buffet well stocked and spotless, making for a very pleasant dining experience. We would also like to thank Gerard for driving us between the resorts and back to the ferry terminal. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Desert Island Resort is standing in the Sir Bani Yas Island for more than 22 years. Hotel did not lose anything from the quality. Staff is 5 star, behaviours are make you think yourself as royal family. Spa made me think like Im in a heaven. Couple massage is recommended. If I come again the reason is the quality and affordability. Thank you especially staff at reception they were great.

Extremely disappointed with our stay at Anantara Sir Bani Yas. For a resort that markets itself as luxury, the severe lack of staff was shocking and affected every part of our experience. Basic requests took far too long, were repeatedly followed up on, or were simply ignored. The food situation was unacceptable, especially for families. Dining options were very limited, with little to nothing suitable for children. On multiple occasions, our kids were left hungry. Despite this, the food was grossly overpriced and the quality did not come close to justifying the cost. Due to understaffing, frustration among guests was widespread, with arguments breaking out because there was no one available to assist or manage situations. This created a tense and unpleasant atmosphere throughout the resort. Being on an island made everything worse, as you cannot simply leave. Feeling stuck with poor service, limited food options, and no alternatives turned what should have been a relaxing holiday into a stressful and disappointing experience. This stay did not justify the price in any way. At its current level of service, Anantara Sir Bani Yas does not offer value for money and is not recommended, particularly for families.

Exceptional stay with top notch hospitality. The staff was extremely courteous and hospitable specially Harish and Sahan, both were extremely cordial and went above and beyond to facilitate us. Jonhatan made our Safri ride informative n engaging. Food options were limited and overpriced. The only improvement that needs to be made is regarding variation in menu and prices need to be a bit more affordable.
