I had a wonderful stay at Anantara Al sahel, Everyone from check-in to check-out was incredibly welcoming and helpful, their warmth made my experience even more special. Highly recommend this place.

The breakfast/dinner location was beautiful, picturesque outside seating ...loved the boerewors, they are hard to come by anywhere in the UAE so that was an unexpected yey! Access to the other establishments was a great add-on as well, we spent time at the main resort and the beachfront restaurant too....as for hospitality, special shout out to Emmanuel and Michelle who made our stay awesome.

There was a peacock stationed on our roof every night squawking for hours, barely got any sleep the first night and they could not move us to a different room until the last night. On the 2nd night they did put a lot of effort into removing it from our roof at crazy hours of the night (thanks guys).

Beautiful location! From when you arrive at the ferry port it’s a great experience, landing on the island is impressive and it only increases as your drive across the island to the resort. The Sahel villas are fantastic, great size with amazing facilities. The villa pools are beautiful, surrounded by animals which never gets dull! Gazelle, peacocks and hyrax all around. Dining outside was another highlight, among the animals eating fantastic food - the peacocks are very friendly!

Nothing we really disliked. It was a great experience! Will definitely be returning with the family, as it has such a lovely family vibe.

very beautiful location and nice breakfast Ronixa, Aarav, Saheerwere very good

there was no correspondence from hotel or teh fairy lounge area to us even when we had written will take 3 pm ferry abd we had appointment with doctor so were bit late and when we called the hotel to ask ferry to wait for 5 minutes they kept directing us to differnt differnt numbers and it wasted time and fairy left in front of us, this could have been easily avoided.

All were well except the point I will mention on what I did not like

1) safari was full booked it was disappointing as this was one of my main travel activities. Unfortunately, overtime for the guide was not an option, the hotel refused to add more trips even though the hotel was full booked. 2) I had only 2 options for checking out 11 am and 2 pm The only feasible option is 11 am because I will be driving back. I was rash through my break fast. Again as the hotel was full booked and the was peak for checking out. The hotel could have included the frequency of boat trips.

Exceptional property unlike anything else, in the heart of the conservatory surrounded by animals and birds at all times. Anantara level luxury and service, always too notch.

Pretty much nothing. Prices for nature activities are a bit exaggerated but that’s understandable given the luxury of the overall stay.

Great place to reboot. You wake up, go out into the courtyard of the villa and see gazelles and peacocks walking calmly next to you and not being scared at all. The villa's heated pool was the perfect way to end each day. Full relax. We enjoyed the safari; there are many animals and birds in the park: gazelles, antelopes, giraffes and ostriches.

Somewhat tiring road to the island. Next time we will plan to fly by plane.

Clean and spacious, quiet and peaceful staff are friendly and go over and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay. The ladies waiting tables on us at breakfast were very kind and very accommodating. Nowais, the safari guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Gurudev Singh took the time during our boat trip back to enquire about our trip and asked if anything could be done to make our trip better. overall very good experience with good people.

Wonderful property, greatly enjoyed ourselves among the animals, the villas were quite nice. The service was above and beyond: every staff member was super polite and helpful and we greatly enjoyed the help of Emmanuel, Sonia, our safari guide Khalid and many others that I cannot remember their names.

The activities on the island were quite pricy, as such we only did the safari during our stay but I felt it was worth the price. Not sure about the other activities.

Incredible stay on the Sahel Villas… Private garden and pool, wildlife running around everywhere you look, amazing service from wonderfully attentive staff. Serenity to die for

Loved everything about the property
