The hotel

Anantara’s latest 5-star edition is located on the fantastic Palm Jumeirah and perfectly combines contemporary Asian flair with world-class facilities on this peaceful part of the palm. Rooms are grouped in private clusters along a series of shimmering lagoons, the only accommodations of this type in Dubai and backed by luscious landscape. Some have direct pool access. Some villas have infinity pools of their very own. On honeymoon? Upgrade to a One Bedroom Over Water Villa, perfect for any special occasion, not only are they sumptuously furnished but the gentle lapping of the ocean around you is a sound you’ll adore. Families too will love the Anantara, there’s so much for kids to do. Not only do children and teens have their very own clubs to hang out in, with activities galore, there’s a playground, babysitting on request and a private beach to play on. Whilst they’re busy, indulge yourself at the world-renowned Anantara Spa or laze by one of the swimming pools, topping up your tan. Come sundown, you’ve five restaurants to choose from, serving delicious dishes from around the world. First though, bag yourself a seat on the shisha deck and enjoy a cocktail!

Had the most amazing time at this hotel, we stayed in a lagoon access room, which was amazing, Ali our housekeeper was great he kept our room lovely and clean, all the restaurants are great, I found Revo Cafe best for breakfast was less busy than main restaurant and Daniel was a great waiter new what you wanted before you even asked, we ate in all the restaurants, Beach House being my favourite, Abesh being very helpful and nothing was to much trouble, it does take you about 25 minutes to get of the palm but only £10 in a taxi, the lagoon access rooms are a must as you can swim 24/7 so at 7.00am had the whole Lagoon to myself, drinks are no more expensive than any other hotel in Dubai, plenty of happy hours , been to Dubai a lot but this has been the best place to stay, will be back next year Read less
