I enjoyed the villas. The washrooms were very clean and the bedrooms were very comfortable. It was very spacious and the quality was very clean. There were some activities such as mangrove kayaking, kayaking, water skiing, and safari. I wish I could go there again!

Hotel's Favorite
What an incredibly special place! We stayed in Al Yann villas and they looked out to the most beautiful massive expanse of beach. We had our own private pool and the room was charming with an extremely comfortable bed. The staff were super helpful. We went on a safari and our guide Mark was so knowledgeable. I have never been so close to giraffe before! Rebecca at the reception was so friendly and helpful. All the staff were. The food was delicious - we ate at the Italian and Al Shams in the other side of the hotel which also has a fabulous pool that my children enjoyed swimming in. There are animals (peacocks especially) roaming the grounds of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel - it is a truly unique experience. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Experience like None other... Mar 2023 400 km away from our home in dubai, have tried many resorts but this one is very special... Close to nature, surrounded with Peacocks and other friendly animals. The villa and facilities are simply amazing, pure blend with nature with all minute details taken care of... if you are a nature loving person, this is one experience not to miss Special mention on Immanuel(Hope I spelled his name right) was really good, HK and FO staffs were very warm and welcoming... Definitely an Experience and Memory, which we intended to have for our son's first staycation

An Unforgettable Getaway is the Experience @anantarasirbaniyas ❤️ It's a beautiful resort located in @sirbaniyasae, which is a 3.5-hour drive from Dubai, but it's totally worth it. Upon arrival, leave your car for valet & refresh yourself at the welcome centre until your jetty(boat ride) is ready (you need to choose timings while booking) You would reach the island in 20 mins & then there was a transfer to the hotel. Ours was Desert Islands Resort and Spa 😍 Smooth check-in with refreshments upon arrival 👌🏻 Hospitality throughout our stay is outstanding of the entire team. Huge room with Breathtaking sea view from our balcony with Lounge Bed to Chill 🥰 Loved the Decor of each nook & corner of the hotel as it brings in the complete desert feel 😍 We had an amazing experience during our lunch at Olio & Dinner at Savannah (Stay tuned 😉) The Island has almost 11,000 animals & different species & hence we decided to do the wildlife drive Safari (Must try) & spotted Up & close up with Giraffes, Arabian Gazelles, Black Buck, Spotted Deer, Cheetah & many more animals & birds ❤️ Loved the fact that you encountered peacocks come so close to you and also encountered some cute animals like Hedgehog & Hirax 🦔 They have huge pool & beach access where you could do some water activities or just sit and relax 😌 This Holidays get yourself booked at this beautiful resort as your #getaway destination & you are gonna relax, rejuvenate & recharge ❤️ Check out their offers where you could get a discount up to 30% 😮 Overall Experience - Room Views, Ambience, Cleaniness, Amenities, Beach Facilities, Hospitality, Value for Money, Decor, Food Quality, Quantity, Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #lavrecommends💯💯…

Unbelievable in every way. The staff and management were amazing. The rooms were delightful. Experiences were fun. The entire place is completely unique in that it is a nature/safari hotel in a country where most hotels are about the beaches. First, the entire experience can only be put down to the staff- from George (I believe he was the duty manager) and everyone else. Staff are always make or break for a hotel and here they truly excelled. The villas all back onto a forest. In the morning you have peacocks and gazelles at your door. Every morning our kids were up and out interacting with nature. The interior of the villas makes you feel like you’re in a luxurious African villa with lots of little touches that make it truly delightful to appreciate. We did a variety of experiences, each with a guide. Cycling with the family on the easy track was great fun. The game drive was a thrill for the kids. Kayaking in the mangroves was extra special because we got to see jumping fish - some landing in our kayak. All of the guides were fabulous. The setting at each restaurant was unique. For the restaurants at the other resorts, a hotel transport is arranged for you. We particularly liked the Arab restaurant, followed by the Italian one and then the Savannah restaurant. The staff went so out of their way to help us celebrate a family occasion to make this a truly memorable stay. And I think we’ll be back!…

Around 2.5 hours drive from Business bay Dubai (Google map 3.5 hours), we arrived the ferry terminal earlier than I expected. The resort's environment is very comfortable and relaxing, peacocks and deers were roaming around the house and also our private pool. Food is delicious, we paid for all inclusive meals, and most of the time the foods are enough for my family (with 2 kids). We ordered room service at the final night because it was heavy rain (it is not included in all inclusive), really appreciate staffs delivered my dinner in that bad weather, thanks again! We joined 2 activities which are horse riding and wildlife drive. 2 daughters (6yrs, 12yrs) and I joined the horse riding, it is much better than I expected because this activity is basically for beginners, it is better for my little girl, and the trainer also guide me and my elder daughter to have some challenges (because this is not our first ride). The most memorable activity is wildlife drive, staff introduced the animals and also the sir bani island wildlife project. In the safari, we saw leopards and giraffes that we were delighted. I highly recommend this island, it is amazing that resorts can maintain this big island with animals. This is the best experience we meet in UAE.…
