Amazing resort with a unique view

The resort is fabulous in every way. The view of Dubai is unique and breathtaking. The food and service are excellent. The only downside is the price, but you get what you pay for.

I personally don’t consider this hotel 5 stars starting by the service of the staff at the reception in exception of Amir A; it was extremely challenging to get what Expedia gave us as platinum members and Expedia was unable to communicate either with the hotel so we had to spend our time on this. The hotel surroundings is beautiful, there are deers, ducks, birds… this was my favorite part.

A Little Escape

Our stay was wonderful! It was nice being able to escape the city life a bit, and the staff were all so accommodating and welcoming. Our villa host, Arve, was so kind and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and the facilities were clean and top notch.

A 5 star oasis of calm and tranquility. From the moment we arrived at the dock, we were treated like royalty. The staff, accommodation and food were 5 star. We loved every minute. Special shout out to Sandaru who cleaned our room with every attention to detail and to Aziza, our villa host who was on hand 24hrs a day to meet all of our needs. A truly incredible experience - we will definitely be back!

Worth a visit!

We just came home from a wonderful stay at Anantara World Island! Gayan and the rest of the staff delivered a very good service and attended to every need we came with. The hotel is at a good standard and You get a true Island feeling despite being only 15 minutes sailing from Dubai.

The staff and management ruined the whole stay for us - they charged for every small extra thing, they were not flexible. And we had a very bad experience with the staff being dishonest, not accommodating and unhelpful. The transportation in and out of the hotel was very inconvenient since it is on an island and there are only a few specific times that they have a boat going back and forth - on top of that they charge money for this basic transportation. We were a few minutes late for the last boat and we had to wait for over 3 hours for the next one. They did not try to help us at all and they still charged us for they boat ride. Besides for all that it is a nice resort and a nice area.
