Very nice Culinary Experience

“Dining at the resort was truly a highlight of my stay. I was particularly impressed with the Qamar restaurant, where the Indian-inspired dishes were really good. We found ourselves dining there multiple times during our stay, including the delicious small plates and the amazing lamb ouzi. The ambiance complemented the food very well, making each meal good.” view full review

My stay at Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort was a amazing experience overall. The unique location offered a serene escape from the busy city, and the spacious room provided amazing ocean views. However, the breakfast left something to be desired, with limited options and slower service than expected. 🌊🌅

The resort's location on a private island provided a unique sense of tranquility, just a 20-minute boat ride from the hustle and bustle of Dubai. I really felt like I was in my own little paradise.

My stay at Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort came with a few highs and lows. The private villa with a pool provided a fantastic level of comfort and luxury, complemented by excellent dining experiences. However, the boat ride to the island should really be included in the room price, and there were some inconsistencies with the overall facilities due to ongoing development. Overall, I had a great time, but some aspects could be improved.

The location on an artificial island is unique, but I did notice some noise and odors from development in certain areas. My room was well-positioned to avoid these issues though.

The vibe of the island was nice, but unfortunately, my stay was soured by poor service and logistical issues. I encountered missed boat timings, which ruined my plans, and the overall maintenance of the areas was lacking. While the beach pool room was well-designed, the surrounding condition showed neglect.

My one-night stay at Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort was truly good. I enjoyed stunning views from my Junior Ocean View Suite and was mesmerized by the sunset seen from Qamar Restaurant. However, the valet parking was a bit tricky, and the lounge we waited in before the boat ride felt a bit outdated. Despite these issues, the positive aspects of my stay certainly overshadowed them. 🌅🌊

I had a mixed experience at Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort. The resort's unique island setting offered very nice privacy, and the staff were welcoming and friendly, especially Mr. Chawki and the Qamar restaurant team. However, I encountered significant issues with the transportation to the island and felt the dining options didn't match the high price point. Overall, I appreciate the beauty and service but left with some disappointments.

The staff on the island, particularly Yoon, were excellent. They truly made my experience feel special and personalized.

Location

The resort's location on a separate island is genuinely unique, providing really good privacy. However, the transportation to the island was a nightmare, with limited scheduling that didn't accommodate our needs.

Dining

6.0

While the food was generally good, I expected more high-end dining experiences. The restaurants felt more casual and not fitting for a five-star hotel.

Facilities

7.0

The amenities were solid, including room service and housekeeping. But again, I found some aspects lacking given the high price I paid.
