The staff were friendly and provided great service throughout my visit. The food was tasty with a good variety of options to choose from. The pool area, complete with sunbeds and cabanas, was a nice place to relax. The pool bar offered a decent selection and a pleasant atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for recharging after a day of exploration. One of the highlights was the stunning nature surrounding the hotel, featuring beautiful dunes and occasional gazelles and camels. Thank you, Anantara, for an unforgettable and magical stay - I will definitely be back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful setting all else a bit disappointing Beautiful setting. Nice architecture. Everything else a bit lackluster. Came at the end of the main season and many activities are not available (camel rides, desert bbq, etc.) and the hotel was not very busy. Food could be much better. Highlights: Excellent service at pool bar and very knowledgeable falcon and owl handlers. Everyone else seemed bored. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Old Port of Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Port-Of-Montreal-Hotels.0-l553248621533087832-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lethbridge-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Lethbridge-Lodge.h458794.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Germany](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Germany-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d64-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Aloft Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Aloft-Abu-Dhabi.h3016445.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Dubai](https://www.expedia.ca/Murqquab-Hotels-Al-Maha.h1769509.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosedale Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Rosedale-Condominiums.h5224796.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lethbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lethbridge-Hotels.d6139556.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Marriott Hotel Downtown, Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Marriott-Hotel-Downtown.h15268077.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Abu-Dhabi-At-Al-Maryah-Island.h14677168.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Mississauga Toronto West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Mississauga-Toronto-West.h5618.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Conrad-Abu-Dhabi-Etihad-Towers.h4399777.Hotel-Information) > > [Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Emirates-Palace.h1162753.Hotel-Information) > > [Finest Punta Cana by The Excellence Collection - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Finest-Punta-Cana.h42643300.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Abu-Dhabi.h5484178.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Mississauga by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Mississauga.h807429.Hotel-Information) > > [W Punta de Mita](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-W-Punta-De-Mita.h15281436.Hotel-Information) > > [Traders Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Traders-Hotel-Qaryat-Al-Beri-Abu-Dhabi.h2841693.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Abu Dhabi Yas Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Abu-Dhabi-Yas-Island.h2878880.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Al Ain](https://www.expedia.ca/Al-Ain-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Resort.h3386.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Abu Dhabi](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Abu-Dhabi.h4849371.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche](https://www.expedia.ca/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Resort.h3300.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/cun/edmonton-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to San Diego (SAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/san/toronto-to-san-diego) > > [Flights from Cinisi (PMO) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmo/fco/palermo-to-rome) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyz/victoria-to-toronto) ### Cruise ### Packages
