Awful hotel! Service, quality and ambience. I had booked this for my wife's 40th birthday for 7 nights. We checked out on day 4 and moved to the taj. The hotels are poles apart. The staff at anantara need a complete overhaul. The quality of food is also really bad. You have a 4 star experience when you are paying for 5 stars it is terrible and ruined the beginning of our trip. Now we are at the taj it feels like a real luxurious holiday from the moment we arrived. Avoid anantara. Read less

Beach Villas with pool. Rooms and beach very nice. Restaurants not really to the standard of a 5* hotel. a little far from Dubai specially with the traffic but it is worth going to have a relax holiday of beach, reading and sleeping. Uber works well to go out for dinner.
